thread_title: Online Initiative to Vote Stephon Marbury to 2009 NBA All-Star Game

message: Rightly or wrongly, this page is very much anti-Stephon Marbury. While I do not know much information on Marbury, maybe someone with more knowledge can make it more unbiased.
You're right, even now after all the edits.  "Ongoing feud"? I know he went AWOL, but Thomas and Marbury have been far from feuding the last couple years, Marubry has always publicly professed his love for Thomas repeatedly.  I don't like Marbury either, but to say this feud is ongoing is new to me, or at least an exaggeration that makes me think without googling it that someone from the New York Post wrote that.    
How could you be "pro-Marbury"? Lol.
:Looking at his career stats it's easy to see that in the right situation, he has been and will be a very solid contributor.  Because of the reputation he has acquired, he has a tendency to get blamed for the lack of success of any endeavor of which he is a part.  Wait a little bit for all of the Knicks to be healthy (at which point they will start winning) and a lot of people are going to be pro-Marbury.  No reason to laugh out loud.  --Tractorkingsfan 02:40, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Marbury is an evil sociopath who supports Michael Vick and calling dogfighting a sport and comparing it to hunting.  At least in hunting the animal is killed relatively quickly.  These dogfighting trainers steal dogs from families and injure them so that their champion fighter can get used to the idea of killing.  In some cases they even duct tape a dogs mouth and through it in the ring with another dog just for training.  What kind of sport would do this to animals?  There is a clear line between right and wrong here.  This is black and white.  There is no gray.  Dogfighting is not a sport.  It is a power-trip for people with too much time, too much money and no souls.

thread_title: Bias

message: During a July 10, 2007 (that's tonight!) interview with Greta Van Susteren during the On The Record broadcast, as he was introducing his $14.98 sneakers; when questioned by her, Marbury intimated that he was given the "Starbury" nickname "by the media" when he turned pro.

thread_title:  "Starbury" origin 

message: On Around the Horn a few days ago, they said he was planning to play basketball in Italy once his contract with the Knicks expired, largely because his wife likes that country. Should this fact be added to the article? VitaminPat 02:45, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

message: jmfangio keeps removing convtroversial statements made by marbury in reference to michael vick. nobody posted any opinion or biased statements but he keeps initiating revert wars and deleting factual statements. They were in the news a lot and are highly relevent to his bio. Just like we put up controversial statements by politicians and other celebrities. See Keith Hernanez's bio - we have put up his controversial comments about women and baseball. The bottom line is these statements are not at all biased and belong on his page. Please stop violating wikipedia policy by revert deleting them. Feel free to change how they are presented but they belong on the page. See Wiki policy:
"Be respectful to others and their points of view. This means primarily: Do not simply revert changes in a dispute. When someone makes an edit you consider biased or inaccurate, improve the edit, rather than reverting it. Provide a good edit summary when making significant changes that other users might object to. The revision you would prefer will not be established by reverting, and repeated reverting is forbidden; discuss disputed changes on the talk page. If you encounter rude or inappropriate behavior, resist the temptation to respond unkindly, and do not make personal attacks."
I emphasize the policy on refraining from reversions.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gtown05 (talk • contribs) 22:52, August 28, 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Dogfighting Statements

message: This short passage can be found under the "Personal" section:
During the summer of 2007, Marbury claimed he found God and he became a born-again Christian on June 29, 2007.[8]
It cites this article as the source. I've looked over the text of the article, in addition to listening to the audio clip on the left side-bar accompanying the text, and there doesn't appear to be anything mentioning Marbury finding God or anything of that sort. 
A story for the NY Daily News on December 3rd does indeed state that Marbury had dedicated his life to God over the summer. So while it does certainly seem that this fact about Marbury is true, I'm sure this article from the NY Daily News, or some other source, would fit better than the article currently cited. 
If someone would be willing to look over that NY Times piece again, just to confirm there's nothing I missed, and make the appropriate changes that would be great.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.149.165.174 (talk) 16:15, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Found God? 

message: Because of the disruption being caused by anons and new accounts, here and at Stephon Marbury Online Initiative, I have semi-protected this page for one week.  This prevents new users from editing, but still allows established editors to make changes.  New editors are, however, still able (and encouraged!) to engage in discussion on the talkpage about how best to improve the article. Thanks, --Elonka 16:54, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Semi-protection

message: He wore these shoes on court for the entirety of 2006-07 season.
Now, Marbury has promised to give out a free pair of Starburys to every high school varsity basketball player in New York City.
If anyone feels these belong, the edit may be easily re-added.sinneed (talk) 21:44, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Starberry shoes - unsourced content removed 

message: Is there a reason why he went from being one of the best players in the NBA to a bench player averaging 3.8 ppg? Is it drugs or something?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Austenhaynes (talk • contribs) 14:18, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
