WP:FOUR) 22:05, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply ] Larry Steele I don't know of a good source for his nickname, I recall the announcers talking about it during a game, which was posted on Youtube some time ago. talk) 03:30, 27 October 2010 (UTC)[reply ] That's quite possible. If I find that video or anything else that might work as a source, I'll let you know. talk) 15:14, 28 October 2010 (UTC)[reply ] NBA Stats I see what you mean. I just update a few of the big name player's stats every week or two so that the stats will change more than just a few numbers. The IP's don't usually mess me up because I go over each stat line and I get my info from NBA.com so I trust the info to be accurate. talk) 04:59, 29 October 2010 (UTC)[reply ] I also usually leave a note saying the date when the stats were last updated to help people out. talk) 05:03, 29 October 2010 (UTC)[reply ] For now I don't mind. I will see how it goes for now with the like 5-6 pages I am doing it on. talk) 07:34, 29 October 2010 (UTC)[reply ] Erik Spoelstra What is the problem with updating his coaching record each game? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Farroy4 (talk • contribs) 00:33, 31 October 2010 (UTC)[reply] Los Angeles Lakers You're killing me by not taking part in this drive, you know that right? Especially since the most difficult remaining obstacle is probably copy-editing (its pretty awkward in a lot of places), and a fresh perspective from a knowledgeable reviewer. talk) 16:00, 10 November 2010 (UTC)[reply ] jk of course. In case that wasn't obvious. talk) 16:32, 10 November 2010 (UTC)[reply ] Sorry you got crossed up on this, but the version you were looking at was an old one. I thought an editor had just re-inserted a statement and made some copyedits meanwhile they had reverted most everyone's work. Initially, I just removed the statement and was going to look at the other stuff later. talk) 08:40, 11 November 2010 (UTC)[reply ] Will you have time to review the rest of this one? I know I didn't respond to that Lesbos Angeles Sparks question, I did find some sources and put them on the talk page, but they are pretty long and involved and tbh I'm not reading that shit. I know you're occupied what with having every NBA article from players, coaches, teams, owners, commissioners, announcers, trainers, and ball boys on your watchlist. I'd prefer to take it peer review if you're busy, but since laker fan is pretty antsy, he might want to just nominate it.

So I am awarding you this barnstar to let you know I greatly appreciate all you do for Wikipedia, and please keep up the outstanding work!! chat 03:27, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply ] Michael Beasley Hey, I'm trying to work on Michael Beasley's article, for some reason, the "Michael Beasley @ NBA.com" is not showing up at the bottom of the infobox, it's annoying me and I was wondering you could help me fix it. Also Beasley went to 6 high schools, should I put all 6 in the infobox or just his last attended high school? Thanks GWST11 (talk) 19:44, 18 November 2010 (UTC)[reply] Bayless Thx for taking the trouble to clean up Bayless, for all the reasons you state.

Skier Dude (talk 03:30, 26 November 2010 (UTC)[reply] The problem with erasing all of the content on Snyder's age is that all of the content is true. I see where it looks like text was taking from other sources. The answer doesn't seem to be to erase everything. In doing so, you lose his whole story. I think a better approach is to delete the parts that were directly copied from another source and then rewrite those sections. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Strs2010 (talk • contribs) 03:23, 27 November 2010 (UTC)[reply] Why I edited it. Hello, You're curious as to why I edited Žydrūnas Ilgauskas 's page. Here's my reasoning: It states that he is a Lithuanian basketball player in the first sentence. Later it states place of birth and nationality as Lithuanian. This is repetitive and unnecessary. Also, I have another reason. Paul Pierce is a professional basketball player too. It states his nationality and place of birth to be American. Yet it doesn't state this in the first sentence. Why doesn't it say "Paul Pierce is an American professional basketball player for the NBA"? Choosing Žydrūnas Ilgauskas and stating that he is Lithuanian, basically labels him that he is different than all other players because he is from a different county. Most hockey players are white, so do I need to label all of the African-American players as "This player is an African-American professional hockey player for the NHL."? NO I DO NOT! Please change this, as it is offense. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.140.179.154 (talk) 07:19, 28 November 2010 (UTC)[reply] The first sentence of Paul Pierce does say he "is an American professional basketball player for the Boston Celtics of the NBA". Almost all biographies will mention the subject's nationality in the first sentence. Zagalejo^^^ 07:40, 28 November 2010 (UTC)[reply] Holy crap, I did not notice that and now look like an idiot. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.140.179.154 (talk) 08:27, 28 November 2010 (UTC)[reply] WP Basketball in the Signpost "WikiProject Report" would like to focus on WikiProject Basketball for a Signpost article to be published in late December.

In the future, it is helpful if, after you complete the request, you change the {{Edit semi-protected}} template to read {{Tld|Edit semi-protected}}--this will untransclude the request, thus removing it from the Category. That way we know the edit is done as it's no longer on the list. Thanks!

He cheating *ss does have 2 sons name Kenneth Jr. The info added was indeed sourced. He doesnt have 2 daughters with DJ Spinderella, he has 1 daughter(Christenese) and this is even stated & sourced on DJ Spinderella's page.. These recent source even says he has 8 kids with 2 of them being sons both names Kenneth Jr: -http://www.businesspundit.com/25-rich-athletes-who-went-broke-10-1/ -http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/09/24/AR2009092401766.html . Thank You. 64.26.99.120 (talk) 16:59, 4 December 2010 (UTC)[reply] Hello. I saw you and 64.26.99.120 as the last editors of Kenny Anderson so I have a question. I see that 64.26.99.120 started a section so I'm writing you. I have been hearing alot about Tami Roman. So I looked for her but she has no page, instead the result I got was Real World and Kenny Anderson. Tami Roman is in the press now because she has a reality tv show coming out. She is claiming she did not get a settlement, that she was broke and on food stamps. Should I addd this? I see currently that it says she got half of kenny's money, but the sources for that are old. Also, could Tami be lying? Robin Givens said she received no money from Mike Tyson, but they married with no prenup and he abused her, so I'm doubtful she didn't receive a settlement. Here are the articles: Tami says she didn't get any money: http://twitter.com/TAMIROMAN/status/25432523829 Interview: http://hellobeautiful.com/gossip-news/hellobeautifulstaff2/basketball-wives-tami-roman-divorce/ 173.79.63.79 (talk) 20:52, 6 December 2010 (UTC)[reply] If I had my way, I'd just remove the personal life section entirely. Too much tabloid stuff. Zagalejo^^^ 05:15, 7 December 2010 (UTC)[reply] What do you feel is tabloid stuff? I think it is bad because of all the kids with different ladies,but that is kenny's fault for not being responsible. We just need to report the facts right ?173.79.63.79 (talk) 17:39, 7 December 2010 (UTC)[reply] The information about the kids seems somewhat intrusive, IMO. I'm not worried about Kenny Anderson himself, but his kids don't deserve this sort of attention. As far as "facts" go, the sources contradict themselves at times, so we can't really "report the facts" with much certainty. I mean, look at this sentence: " With first wife Tami he has daughters Lyric Chanel(1995) and a daughter named either Kenni Lauren or Jazz (1996)." Zagalejo^^^ 19:03, 7 December 2010 (UTC)[reply] I am returning the section. The second daughter, I mean his second daughter with Tami is named Jazz. All the kids are sourced by that washington post link. I read the link you posted. First, is that a reliable source? Second, it doesnt say anything. It is quoting popeater. So I went to popeater. In popeater is a link to Tami Roman's her twitter where she denies she got 1/2 net worth settlement. But in the 90s she paraded around telling everyone she DID get 1/2. She was even on Oprah! And we know Oprah checks and vets her guests so I dont think she was lying then, I think she is lying now. I think she wants sympathy because all the ladies on the show are hated. I will see if I am able to do a court search. 64.26.99.120 (talk) 00:52, 4 January 2011 (UTC)[reply] Reported NBA deals that never happened Hey, I saw you creating User:Zagalejo/Reported NBA deals that never happened and you might want to add the cancelled three-team trade in the offseason which involved José Calderón, Hedo Türkoğlu and several other players from the Suns and the Bobcats.

I am new to the Wiki community. Any advise you can give me to improve the article would be appreciated. I plan on writing more but until I can figure out how to do it without incurring the rancor of editors I think I will stick to defending this one. Just curious--why did you remove the Political History section? I thought if anything that contributed to the notability of the church.

I'm a Nets STH, been going to games since 1995, & the fact is, Lander's banner isn't in the rafters. It wasn't up Opening Night '08, wasn't up last season & it isn't up in it hasn't been up in years. That dude is right, go to a game & you will see it ain't there. You want, I'll take a photo tomorrow night. Just because it isn't a published source doesn't mean it isn't true DanMan770 (talk) 20:24, 25 January 2011 (UTC)[reply] Instead of me proving to you his banner isn't up in the rafters, prove to me his banner is up there. Show me a recent photo with his banner up there. Also, find me a published source that would mention the fact the team doesn't hang it. DanMan770 (talk) 22:04, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply] Here is proof I found that says his banner doesn't hang in the rafters. Read page 5 of the PDF. This is the nightly program the Nets distribute before every home game. This is the one distributed from the final game at IZOD Center. The guy who wrote this never heard of Ladner. A lot of people complained to the Asst. GM about not including him. http://www.nba.com/nets/media/nets-cats-041210.pdf A team won't admit something like this because it is bad for PR. DanMan770 (talk) 14:49, 2 February 2011 (UTC)[reply] Why is it so hard for you to accept the fact his banner isn't up in the rafters? 2 loyal Nets fans (me & the guy who originally mentioned it isn't hung) were at the game last night & didn't see it up there. Go to a game & you will notice it isn't there. DanMan770 (talk) 20:48, 3 February 2011 (UTC)[reply] DYK nomination of Belden Stratford Hotel Hi.
