I noticed that the Basketball-Reference.com in {{ Infobox basketball biography}} wasn't working for Deborah Carter.
My initial thought is that the editor who created it use the wrong BBR parameter, which they did, but fixing it didn't make it work. Unfortunately, I figured out why. The template wants to create a template that looks like this:
http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/j/jordami01.html
But the correct URL for Debbie Carter looks like this:
http://www.basketball-reference.com/wnba/players/c/cartede01w.html
Note the extra "wnba/" just before "players". This is a bit annoying, as it seems entirely unnecessary from the point of view of the source. They already have a way to distinguish between two players who might happen to have the same first and last name. I've done a little bit of template coding but not sure how best to address this. I'll note that it is not used very often on WNBA players. I suspect that's because some have tried it and found it fails. I'm sharing this with you in case you think it is not worth recoding something to deal with a small number of instances. I'm in the process of adding all existing WNBA players to my watchlist and would intend to use this parameter for those who have entries if it works.
Any chance this is something you could address?-- S Philbrick (Talk) 16:52, 2 October 2015 (UTC)

Bagumba, can you please lock Module:College color/data so that only administrators and template editors may edit the module? There have have been a series of edit wars over the past week, and none of these colors should be unilaterally changed without confirmation/verification of the current Pantone and/or Hex colors of the universities and/or their sports teams. That should require a link and verification by at least one other editor. The color module affects thousands of templates, and each individual entry may affect dozens of templates for a particular university and its teams. Thanks.

It appears you didn't agree with the notice I left at the top of the article. It appeared the page was protected because this fellow has been front page news over the past week, so I added the notice accordingly. VegasCasinoKid ( talk) 11:21, 17 October 2015 (UTC)
Due to a highly unusual amount of media coverage, editing is currently restricted to registered users.": The wording is incorrect and misleading. The article has been protected since 2011, not due to the recent news spike. It also implies that any topic that gets "unusual" media coverage is protected, which misrepresents the actual protection policy.
The point is to alert readers to create an account if they wish to contribute to the article": Your edit summary rationale is already addressed by guidance given when an unregistered editor clicks "View source" on the page. Your message box doesn't direct potential editors to register; moreover, they anyways would not be able to immediately edit a semi-protected page until they were autoconfirmed.

I noticed you've been editing the Lamar Odom article and also are an admin, so I thought you'd be a great person to contact about an issue I raised in this discussion at the help desk. I simply asked whether or not it's appropriate for info about the Odom incident to be included in the Love Ranch article. As you'll see in the help desk thread, my hunch is that it should only be in the Odom article. But I honestly am only concerned about it being handled properly. So if editors like you, who have a lot of experience and knowledge, say it's fine to include it in the other article too, I have no problem with it staying. It just strikes me as very inappropriate. I also posted a note on the BLP noticeboard to invite interested parties to give input at the help desk. It appears that an IP has just removed all the content from the Love Ranch article. Anyway, I'll keep an eye on the help desk for any replies. But I'm sure if you think that content is fine, you'll just restore it to the Love Ranch article. Thanks.

Yes, me again. Haha. Please help. 97.126.235.119 has removed practically all content from a non-contentious article, Harry Reid (journalist), simply because of one issue someone wrote about on the BLP noticeboard. [1] This is what the article looked like a few minutes ago, and this is what it looks like now after the IP practically wiped it clean. The IP even removed sources, as well as dead links that possibly could be rescued. This IP has been editing for just a few weeks and it looks like has been spending a lot of time on the BLP noticeboard today acting as if they are are an expert on issues, quickly marking threads as resolved, and thoroughly misstating polices and guidelines. Anyway, I have no idea how to restore all the content in the Reid because it was done with mulitple edits. Someone needs to talk to this IP. If you look at their talk page history, you'll see they even called an experienced editor a troll (twice) for legitimate issues he wrote the IP about. Czoal ( talk) 05:29, 19 October 2015 (UTC)
I asked the IP to self-revert and this is the sarcastic reply I received: "Go find some sources for it if you are that concerned. You have a computer and a web browser".

Bagumba, I'm not going to respond @ the talk page for Infobox basketball biography because it's clearly an off-topic digression, and God knows the OP has enough issues already. (I think you should contemplate hatting the digression too.) That said, page protection for articles and templates/modules are clearly subject to two different standards. I appreciate your effort to perform your due diligence regarding template protection, etc., but a comparison between protection for a single article and a template or module that is transcluded into thousands of articles is off-base. There is clearly a different magnitude for potential mischief for widely used templates and modules. But that's a discussion for another day. Dirtlawyer1 ( talk) 16:23, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi. I have undone this edit because I don't think it's an improvement. The link as written in the template is, IMO, for someone reading this discussion who doesn't know what a DRV is, so it takes them to the head of the page where they can read all about it.

So as you may have seen, Charlesaaronthompson and I discussed the Missouri Tigers colors. He had originally placed the Academic colors in the infobox for athletics and I disagreed because the School's identity guide had a separate palette. To get to the point, I ended up emailing the school to see if they'd be willing to release the exact codes for the colors. I received them this morning, as a PDF file. Is there a way to use that as a reference or should I not worry about it? Charles pointed out this page, but he wasn't sure. Like anyone of us, others could question the codes and change it again. I emailed it to Charles so he could have a copy and I've kept my email version as well. Thanks. Corkythe hornetfan 23:45, 27 October 2015 (UTC)
Hey. Please take a look at the recent edits of User:Italian94, as well as the comments you and I have left on his talk page over the past month. I had forgotten I had already left a message for him in early October. He is undoing the correct formatting of a very large number of NFL player infoboxes, and it needs to stop. He has received at least three messages directly on point, has not responded to any of them, and has ignored all of them. He apparently needs a strongly worded warning to cease and desist or face the consequences for disruptive editing. I think we should also consider a mass reversion to restore proper formatting. He's creating a f---ing mess. Dirtlawyer1 ( talk) 13:31, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

I noticed that the Basketball-Reference.com in {{ Infobox basketball biography}} wasn't working for Deborah Carter.
My initial thought is that the editor who created it use the wrong BBR parameter, which they did, but fixing it didn't make it work. Unfortunately, I figured out why. The template wants to create a template that looks like this:
http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/j/jordami01.html
But the correct URL for Debbie Carter looks like this:
http://www.basketball-reference.com/wnba/players/c/cartede01w.html
Note the extra "wnba/" just before "players". This is a bit annoying, as it seems entirely unnecessary from the point of view of the source. They already have a way to distinguish between two players who might happen to have the same first and last name. I've done a little bit of template coding but not sure how best to address this. I'll note that it is not used very often on WNBA players. I suspect that's because some have tried it and found it fails. I'm sharing this with you in case you think it is not worth recoding something to deal with a small number of instances. I'm in the process of adding all existing WNBA players to my watchlist and would intend to use this parameter for those who have entries if it works.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help.

Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Bagumba, what would you do with a username like this new user? They edited the Shawnee Heights High School article, which has been known for some vandalism in the past, with serval new users. ( See here) This time they didn't vandalize the whole edit, but they've added some vandalism. Thanks. 🎄 Corkythe hornetfan 🎄 23:47, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
