	Write a better article, don't say "look at all the fighters he trained", and then name only '''one''' fighter he trained. You make all these statements, that like calling him the "master of all" trainers, and then you don't even bother to explain why. Obviously this is what you believe, and it may be true, but the object of an encyclopedia is not to tell someone outright why someone may be important, but to explain and convince the reader that he is. You have failed to do this, and that is why I edit things. I have no hard on with you, but I have a problem, with how you write. If you have a problem with people editing your work, you need to leave this site.--[[User:Matt Tegen\|Matt Tegen]] 08:48, 16 Jan 2006 (CST)

	You have destroyed the standard format of the Carruthers page. Did we not go over this once before? A standard page includes the "boxer code" which you have deleted. Please try to put the page page into standard format, and using a neutral point of view (which includes referring to a boxer by his last name--Carruthers, not his first name--Jimmy). Or we will delete your changes and revert it back to its original, CORRECT, format. Also, please use the "Show Preview" button, to avoid all those unnecessary edits in the History. We appreciate your enthusiasm. --[[User:Ric\|Ric]] 22:57, 5 Jan 2006 (CST)

	Please textlink also, even though those will be dead-ends now in most cases, eventually they could be working and take advantage or the strengths of the wiki program.--[[User:Matt Tegen\|Matt Tegen]] 22:59, 5 Jan 2006 (CST)

	~~== Help Guidelines ==~~

	Then perhaps you should visit the [[Help:Contents\|Help]] page. It will give you pointers about boxer code, link you to "Point of View" formatting, and so forth. --[[User:Ric\|Ric]] 23:47, 5 Jan 2006 (CST)

	~~== Your Demand to Remove Photos? ==~~

	I'm sorry to hear that you want to pack up all your marbles and go home--by asking that your Carruthers photos be deleted. I should think the Carruthers's page looks much better, and complies with our standard format, after the edits made recently by fellow Administrator Matt. Don't take personal offense that your creation was "edited mercilessly" by others. There is a caveat on the bottom of every Wiki edit window: "If you don't want your writing to be edited mercilessly, then don't submit it here." Too often fans of a particular boxer get too close to their subject. They write text that is just too subjective or wild with praise. They include TOO MANY photos, often of very large size, that simply distracts from what could be a nice piece.

	~~If you do a search (there's a page on how to do that) on "Carruthers," you will see that informative text has been added to the images that were removed from his main page.~~

	I would hope you would reconsider your demand to remove the Carruthers photos. Don't you want others to learn more about this fine boxer? To know what he looked like? To see photos of him in action? Oh, and another tip. Instead of placing numerous action photos of him all on his main page, create a separate page dedicated solely to the fight from which that photo comes. Use the photo there, and add informative text that complies with the objective point of view policy we have. You seem to have some good information and photos. Please share it with others. Once you get the hang of our format guidelines, I bet you will enjoy creating and updating pages as much as we others do. And we others are always happy to assist you, if you find you need help.
