The content for this discussion page doesn't center around the content of the article. I believe that if somebody has a problem with the page, then they should contact the administration like he did but he did it after two posts. Nobody wants to read someone complaining about something when they are looking for information or discussion about a certain topic. I believe the article should be left the same but the discussion board isn't being used what it is supposed to be used for. The discussion board should be used to talk about a topic and not complain about it. Reading this discussion board has changed my opinion on the reliability of Wikipedia. I don't like how any information can be deleted even if it is good information about the topic. If I worked hard to put information on a specific topic and somebody deleted it, I would be upset. So I believe the reliability of Wikipedia isn't as strong as I thought it was.

Wikipedia Discussion
I chose to read a Wikipedia article on the Detroit Lions. I thought the discussion part of this topic was very interesting and important. The reason I thought this was because there was arguments about the content that is on the page. Somebody by the name of TomCat4860 keeps getting his information erased. He is trying to explain why his content is very useful for the page and doesn't understand on why his information is getting deleted. He believes that the information he is using for TV and Radio hasn't been written yet, and needs to be put in the article. TomCat then has another comment on the discussion part of the site that is sort of a threat. He explains that he contacted Wikipedia about his content being erased and that they are watching the site for any vandals. He then asks if anyone agrees with him to contact administration to help out his cause so that this doesn't happen again.
