Hello and welcome! I've undone most of your edit here. As set out in my Change Summary, someone did ask on the talk page for an explanation of the "Gate" suffix. However, the details of the evidence are set out in the following sections and don't belong in the Intro, especially a reference to "the illegally deflated footballs" -- which is not (yet) a fact.

I'm not sure where to reply to you about this so I'll just copy and paste what I posted on your talk page.
I am new to editing articles on Wikipedia, so I'm not totally clear on how to even reply to what you said. First of all, though, thanks for letting me know. I only have one question - is the part that is up for debate not the Patriots' involvement? I believe that the fact that the balls were deflated below the legal minimum has not been disputed, as in Bellichick's presser he acknowledge the deflation of the balls but explained that they were that way because of weather conditions and the Patriots' methods of preparations of the balls.
Also, why did you delete what I wrote in the investigation section? What I did there was simply to make the wording more accurate or clear. I deleted a statement that said the Colts' equipment manager kept the ball as a "souvenir" because it doesn't make sense and also did not have a source.

There is nothing wrong with replacing the robot's signatures of your posts with your real one, and you took pains to add the correct time. However, on first glance in the History, the change looks like vandalism: A net deletion of characters, user too new (at that point) to have a user page, no Edit Summary, and not even checked "This is a minor edit." So when doing stuff like this, do explain it for the History. Spike-from-NH ( talk) 17:00, 28 January 2015 (UTC)
I can see that you are a new editor, but you need to know that Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously. You must not copy and paste text from sources you find on the web into articles as you did in the article Marc Martin. I have removed the infringing text, but the material you copied is subject to copyright, as is almost everything on the web, and when creating or expanding articles, you should completely rewrite the information from the source using your own words.

The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
