Allegations of sexual harrasment are big. Deadspin sounds like a blog, and the speculation is based on emails - not usually a reliable source for WP. I put a current event tag and another ref in from ESPN.

Ok, I like that. I've never heard of deadspin and ESPN has no comment, they're clammed up on this. I'm not gonna trust deadspin. On the ESPN boards I'm still not sold.
Soxrock20:56, 25 July 2006 (UTC)reply
And Google News has very lax standards, Google is not in the business of content filtering so understandably they would allow Dead spin into their databases. However, WP has much higher standards, per
WP:RS.
hateless20:57, 25 July 2006 (UTC)reply
Deadspin is indeed a blog, though being part of the Gawker Media network and the Yahoo tie-in gives it high traffic and notoriety. It takes the "take everything we write with a grain of salt" approach, and much of the content comes from reader tips with varying degrees of anonymity. So yeah, not at all wiki-worthy.

Intruging, but isn't that the point. If there's something you disagree with you get into an "argument" about it? I watch Baseball Tonight every time I can. He's always a nice guy anyway.
Soxrock23:50, 25 July 2006 (UTC)reply
i just added the part about sexual harassment. it has been confirmed by AP wire reports.
Evansville Courier & Express. if this isnt a credible source, not sure what is.
Firing
OK, an anon removed the reference even that his employment was terminated. (sprotection isn't working?) Given refs to ESPN and NYPost, that seems verifiable and reasonably noteworthy; someone else can put it in.
Gimmetrow21:09, 25 July 2006 (UTC)reply
Ok, I'm now totally not gonna belive that Reynolds has been fired until ESPN announces it. Deadspin may be making this up to get a rise. So I no longer trust Deadspin.
Soxrock21:13, 25 July 2006 (UTC)reply
One of the refs was from ESPN.go.com with an AP byline.
[1] Together with NYPost it seem verifiable to me, but if nobody else agrees that's fine.
Gimmetrow21:17, 25 July 2006 (UTC)reply
If ESPN.com runs an AP story that has a quote from ESPN management, that is confirmation. The story explicitly quoted an ESPN VP who did confirm Reynolds does not work at ESPN any longer, whether its a firing or a resignation is not confirmed. I don't think this matter is up for debate and it certainly meets
WP:RS.

Are there any 62.44.564.358 types of addresses out there? And do I count for this yet, I've had this account for 5 months?

Semi-protection isn't working because you need an administrator to actually protect the page. Requests can be done at
Wikipedia:Requests for page protection. I could do it myself but the vandalism seems to have stopped. Also, people, please use the
warning templates; as an admin, I hate it when people complain about continual vandalism and wanted somebody blocked but haven't even bothered to put in the effort to warn the offender. I can't do an immediate block without getting other people on me for not following protocol. --

Most of the edits here were not vandalism but a misunderstanding of WP:V and WP:RS. The only blatant vandalism I saw occurred 2 hrs before Soxrock's post, the IP had been warned for a different page, and had stopped editing.
Gimmetrow01:59, 26 July 2006 (UTC)reply
An anonymous editor just readded the Deadspin rumors again. I'm getting close to my 3RR limit so it looks like someone else will need to keep an eye on the page and revert when necessary. thans...

The last SportsCenter confirmed that Reynolds isn't at the network. Meanwhile, Reynolds supposedly said that when he hugged a woman she didn't "interpret" it right.

Not done: I saw that tweet too and was also very amused by it. And there are a lot of things this article needs - improved description of Reynolds' playing career, both positive and negative, chief among them. But no, we're not going to simply add a negative statement to this article because we are all annoyed with a dumb comment Reynolds made. Wikipedia is not Twitter. If you still want to vent about it, go to social media.
