Yeah, I did see from the early reports that it was going to be a "buyout", but then when the Knicks stated that he had been "waived", I put that instead as that's what the official report said.

Hi Bagumba. Could you page protect 2010–11 Georgia Bulldogs basketball team so that IPs are no longer allowed to edit it? A long while back I removed a section called "Quality of officials" because it's clearly WP:UNDUE weight on a very biased facet of that season. At the time I removed it, I had no idea that another editor had already tried removing it several times, but some stupid anon with an agenda keeps re-inserting it. The section violates UNDUE, NPOV, and certainly doesn't belong in the article. It's tiresome to keep seeing notifications that my legitimate removal has been reverted by a disgruntled Georgia fan or player. Thanks. Jrcla2 ( talk) 13:39, 10 March 2014 (UTC)

Perhaps the page for Barry Bonds could be semi-protected. Bonds is not active, so many comments from non-registered users much are vandalism.

Bagumba - Any way we could restrict editing except for autoconfirmed users? Every year there is "funny" vandalism leading up the draft, then there is total chaos on the article on draft night as everyone wants to update the picks or goof off. Perhaps more palatable - could you (or another admin) keep an eye on the article and restrict it if (when) this comes to pass either on draft night or before? It's the same story every year. All the draftee articles are going to get wrecked as well, but no way around that I suppose. Thanks. Rikster2 ( talk) 14:42, 24 June 2014 (UTC)

Bagumba,
I am not trying to start an editing war over Zach LaVine. Just bc NBA.com says 6'5" doesn't mean it's rights. This was his height freshman year at UCLA, he has since grown. Don't get me wrong NBA.com is a great source but he's a Rookie just moving up to the NBA. His combine stats were a measured height w/o shoes of 6'4.5" and 6'5.75 w shoes on. I've seen this on paper from the combine and numerous workouts he had w teams along w different websites. Like I said I'm not trying to start an edit war but for someone whose seen the results I'm just trying to make sure they are right. Even NBA.com draft profile http://www.nba.com/draft/2014/prospects/zach_lavine?ls=iref:nba:draft:tracker has him listed that way, hey just haven't changed it yet. Sorry to create a commotion I didn't know filling out the right statistics would cause people to freak out just trying to list correct biography.

Hey, Bagumba. Can you put the Chandler Parsons article on your watch list? Parsons is a restricted free agent, who just signed a letter of intent with the Dallas Mavericks late yesterday. Pursuant to the NBA rules on restricted free agency, his former team, the Houston Rockets, now has 72 hours to match or decline the Mavericks' offer to Parsons. The Rockets have already indicated publicly that they intend to do so. In the mean time, the usual crowd of IPs and newly registered users is doing their crazy dance on the article, changing this BLP article to read that Parsons is already a member of the Mavericks without any supporting sources. GoPhightins semi-protected the page last night, but the problems have continued overnight and this morning with registered users continuing to make such changes to the article and the Mavericks roster template. I already used my three reverts, with edit summary explanations, on the article yesterday evening. Can you add this one to your list? It's going to be a problem until the 72 hours expires. . . . Thanks. 12:14, 10 July 2014 (UTC)

I need your help again, I noticed that you blocked IP User 83.45.160.173 from editing the article, but then another IP editor 81.32.205.150 keeps adding back the information I removed without any notice nor reply from me again.. [1] I am not sure if this will going to end or solve this edit warring, since I left a notice in the article's talk page and posted a message on his/her talk page. Can a protection request be appropriate? Btw, I will nominate the article for GA promotion. FairyTailRocks ( talk) 12:14, 15 March 2014 (UTC)
Hi, several people from the baseball wikiproject are getting together after Wizardman's sudden retirement to figure out a better way to organize the Wikiproject. One of the ideas we came up with is having our own IRC channel to help each other, as well as new users with collaboration and content. If you need help connecting to IRC join #wikipedia-coffeehouse connect. The IRC channel for Wikiproject Baseball is #wiki-baseball connect. Thanks Secret account 22:52, 2 March 2014 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Point forward, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Power forward ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

What are you thinking you are here, a big brother? I am highly aware I was involved by him in edit war. Because of that I wrote him on his talk page to stop with these edits, he hasn't listen. Then I stopped, wrote on NBA wikiproject about issue, and to another respected editor. I am just so sick of these Balkan nationalists here on wikipedia, who just like this user, don't respect others work and putting insanely stupid tabloid references, or make edits based on people's tattoos, and other [stuff]. Don't tell me what is war edit and don't be rude and warn me with some bans and stuff. My 6t+ edits represents me as valid contributor, mainly of European-based basketball articles.

Perhaps the page for Barry Bonds could be semi-protected. Bonds is not active, so many comments from non-registered users much are vandalism. Unless something major happens with Bonds, it will not really help Wikipedia to allow random users with no account (and thus no fear of prosecution) to make changes.

Bagumba - Any way we could restrict editing except for autoconfirmed users? Every year there is "funny" vandalism leading up the draft, then there is total chaos on the article on draft night as everyone wants to update the picks or goof off. Perhaps more palatable - could you (or another admin) keep an eye on the article and restrict it if (when) this comes to pass either on draft night or before? It's the same story every year. All the draftee articles are going to get wrecked as well, but no way around that I suppose. Thanks. Rikster2 ( talk) 14:42, 24 June 2014 (UTC)

Hi,
Bagumbo, all I changed was his height and weight nothing else. His combine stats are listed as follows: http://www.nba.com/draft/2014/prospects/zach_lavine?ls=iref:nba:draft:tracker so for my nxt edit I will add that for you. I would understand if it was something to do w false background information but it was his height and weight. Here is ANOTHER source to VERIFY my findings: http://www.nbadraft.net/players/zach-lavine

Bagumba,
I am not trying to start an editing war over Zach LaVine. Just bc NBA.com says 6'5" doesn't mean it's rights. This was his height freshman year at UCLA, he has since grown. Don't get me wrong NBA.com is a great source but he's a Rookie just moving up to the NBA. His combine stats were a measured height w/o shoes of 6'4.5" and 6'5.75 w shoes on. I've seen this on paper from the combine and numerous workouts he had w teams along w different websites. Like I said I'm not trying to start an edit war but for someone whose seen the results I'm just trying to make sure they are right. Even NBA.com draft profile http://www.nba.com/draft/2014/prospects/zach_lavine?ls=iref:nba:draft:tracker has him listed that way, hey just haven't changed it yet. Sorry to create a commotion I didn't know filling out the right statistics would cause people to freak out just trying to list correct biography.

Hey, Bagumba. Can you put the Chandler Parsons article on your watch list? Parsons is a restricted free agent, who just signed a letter of intent with the Dallas Mavericks late yesterday. Pursuant to the NBA rules on restricted free agency, his former team, the Houston Rockets, now has 72 hours to match or decline the Mavericks' offer to Parsons. The Rockets have already indicated publicly that they intend to do so. In the mean time, the usual crowd of IPs and newly registered users is doing their crazy dance on the article, changing this BLP article to read that Parsons is already a member of the Mavericks without any supporting sources. GoPhightins semi-protected the page last night, but the problems have continued overnight and this morning with registered users continuing to make such changes to the article and the Mavericks roster template. I already used my three reverts, with edit summary explanations, on the article yesterday evening. Can you add this one to your list? It's going to be a problem until the 72 hours expires. . . . Thanks. 12:14, 10 July 2014 (UTC)
