WP:CURRENTLY ↗



Please do not write "currently", as explained by clicking on WP:CURRENTLY ↗, as you did at Marco Bezzecchi ↗ in this change ↗. Wikipedia is an enduring encyclopedia and ''currently'' means nothing without an attendant date. As it is some months until the season start, it's better to be circumspect when adding new contract detail. He might die between now and then. Thank you.--Rocknrollmancer (talk) 03:04, 3 January 2022 (UTC)
:I've just looked at the article lower down where there was some non-WP:NPOV ↗ subjective acclaim "pretty slow" "brilliant" "mere" (see WP:WTW ↗). Also, Wikipedia uses words for integers between one and nine "outside the top 5" (I also use ten, as it's short and succinct). Thank you.--Rocknrollmancer (talk) 03:35, 3 January 2022 (UTC)

alright, thanks, I'll keep these in mind MrSplashman77 (talk) 10:26, 3 January 2022 (UTC)

NBA sources



Adrian Woj is not a reliable source. An official press release is. The Trail Blazers just announced about 15 mins ago that Dunn was signed. The report on their website yesterday means nothing, as it clearly said "report" in the title. That means it's not official, even though it's on their website. NBA.com has staff writers that write about reported stuff, even though it may not be official. Hope this helps you out. Mandomanny313 (talk) 17:36, 14 March 2022 (UTC)

Why is Woj not considered a reliable source? He has insider info from all the teams, and basically everything he posts has become true. The reports on NBA.com are just that, reports, fair enough, but even then, if the injuries have already taken place, and they've heard from the team that it will happen, then it will. I know you say it means nothing, but almost everything they claimed to report, or Woj and Sham reported, has turned out to be true the past years. If you find me reports on the nba.com website, or tweets from Woj and Shams that jumped the ship on a move, and didn't end up happening, I will gladly stop using them as reliable sources. MrSplashman77 (talk) 18:03, 14 March 2022 (UTC)

Shams and Woj, along with REPORTS on the NBA websites, are not reliable. Ask about any well-respected NBA editor on Wikipedia and they'll tell you the same thing. (talk) 18:15, 14 March 2022 (UTC)

Are you a well-respected NBA editor? And, yes, you've already told me this, I'm asking why, you're not answering my question or request to bring relevant news that have failed to materialize after the news report broke. MrSplashman77 (talk) 18:30, 14 March 2022 (UTC)

https://www.hoopsrumors.com/2020/11/bucks-to-acquire-bogdan-bogdanovic-from-kings-in-sign-and-trade.html A Bogdan Bogdanovic trade that was reported by Woj fell through before it was reported by either team. Mandomanny313 (talk) 18:52, 14 March 2022 (UTC)

Proposed deletion ↗ of Syarifuddin Azman ↗



<!--<includeonly>}}</includeonly>-->
Hello, MrSplashman77

Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username Bensci54, and I thank you for your contributions.

I wanted to let you know, however, that I’ve proposed an article that you started, Syarifuddin Azman ↗, for deletion because it's a biography of a living person ↗ that lacks references ↗. To prevent the deletion, please add a reference ↗ to the article. You may remove the deletion tag yourself once the article has at least one reliable source ↗.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with <code><nowiki>{{Re|</nowiki>Bensci54<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>. And, don't forget to sign your reply with <code><nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code> . Thanks!

Syarifuddin Azman ↗ moved to draftspace



An article you recently created, Syarifuddin Azman ↗, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable ↗, independent sources ↗. <small>(? ↗)</small> Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability ↗ is of central importance ↗ on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace ↗ (with a prefix of "<code>Draft:</code>" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline ↗ and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

{{divbox|blue|3=<!-- Template:Twocopies -->
Two copies of this page have been created, in draft space and in article space. It is not necessary to create two copies of the same page, and it annoys the reviewers. This is sometimes done in order to bypass Articles for Creation review. However, if a submitter is ready to have the article in article space, it can be moved ↗ into article space, rather than creating a copy. It is common for a page that has been duplicated in draft space and in article space to be nominated for deletion ↗ or proposed for deletion ↗.

If the article is kept, this draft should be redirected to the article. If the article is deleted, this draft may be kept for future improvement.

This page has been moved back from article space to draft space. Please read the comments by the draftifying reviewer and address them. Do not resubmit this draft without addressing the comments of the previous reviewer. If you do not understand why this article was sent back to draft space, please ask the reviewer rather than simply resubmitting.

You may ask for advice on how to improve this draft at the Teahouse ↗ or on the talk pages of any of the reviewers. (The declining reviewers may advise you to ask for advice at the Teahouse ↗.)

If this draft is resubmitted without any improvement or with very little improvement, it will probably be rejected.<!-- Template:Sentback -->}} Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit ''after they have been resolved''.

Kalev



Hi! Thanks for the edits related to Estonian basketball. Just wanted to give you feedback based on this edit ↗. BC Kalev ↗ (Kalev/Cramo) is not the same team with BC Tallinna Kalev ↗ (currently known as Tallinna Kalev/Audentes). Veidemann in fact plays in BC Tallinna Kalev ↗.Pelmeen10 (talk) 05:09, 25 January 2023 (UTC)

Oh my, apologies. Thats a big mistake from my part, thanks for the heads up! MrSplashman77 (talk) 13:52, 25 January 2023 (UTC)

LaGerald Vick



Hi. Can I please ask why you made the following years changes ↗ to LaGerald Vick? They were baseless and simply inaccurate. You did the same thing at Aaron Fuller (basketball) ↗. I find this a little concerning if this has been occurring at multiple articles. DaHuzyBru (talk) 04:07, 21 February 2023 (UTC)

Relative currency values



Hi. I've reverted your addition of relative currency values (in US dollars and Euros) for the lifetime winnings of Gaius Appuleius Diocles ↗ as charioteer. The calculator you used, and the sums it generated, have no clear reliable authorship or scholarly standing. They amount to well intended but forbidden original research ↗ on your part. Only one of the sources used in the article attempt to produce a modern currency equivalent; the Struck blog, which undermines its own plausibility with some very unlikely, possibly playful assertions unsupported by any other specialist in the field. The issues involved are covered, at least in part, on the article talk page. Thanks for reading this. Regards, Haploidavey (talk) 22:42, 5 July 2023 (UTC)

25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Hello and welcome to Wikipedia ↗. Constructive contributions to Wikipedia ↗ are appreciated, but a recent edit ↗ of yours to the page :Van Jefferson ↗ has an edit summary ↗ that appears to be inadequate, inaccurate, or inappropriate.

Audi Crooks ↗



I reverted your edit at Audi Crooks ↗, and I wanted to explain why.

Weight, like any other fact in a biography of a living person ↗, requires a reference in a reliable source ↗. Iowa State does not publish the weight of its women's basketball players. I could not find this information in any other reliable sources. As a result, it needed to be reverted.

This addition is frequent enough with Crooks, because of her size, that I actually have a talk page banner for it. <span style="color:#ba4168">Sammi Brie</span> (she/her · t · c ↗) 18:26, 1 January 2026 (UTC)

Proposed deletion ↗ of Jorge Pacheco-Ortiz ↗


left|link=|alt=Notice|48px| ↗

The article Jorge Pacheco-Ortiz ↗ has been proposed for deletion ↗ because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy ↗, this '''biography of a living person ↗''' will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source ↗ that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners ↗, or ask at the help desk ↗. Once you have provided at least one reliable source ↗, you may remove the {{tl|prod blp/dated}} tag. '''Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced.''' If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can {{#ifexist:Jorge Pacheco-Ortiz|request that it be undeleted|request that it be undeleted ↗}} when you are ready to add one.<!-- Template:ProdwarningBLP --> Jevansen (talk) 03:07, 24 February 2026 (UTC)

NBA and G League roster templates



Thanks for updating these but be careful to label the field “college” if the player went to college, vs. “from,” which is used if a player did not attend college (like “France” or a high school name). When the field is called “college” it links the school article. If a college name is used but the field is labelled “from”, you get DABS. For example, in this edit ↗, Lawson Lovering’s school linked to the state of Utah instead of the University of Utah. Thanks. Rikster2 (talk) 22:08, 27 February 2026 (UTC)

Hi. Just to let you know that I reverted the edit you did. You picked the wrong article. It is about Kenneth Grant Senior, the father of the current coach of ESSM Le Portel. Cheers. Zamekrizeni (talk) 22:12, 1 March 2026 (UTC)
