In regards to your revert of my edit on the Cavaliers roster, could you provide a more constructive reason than, "nope"? TdanTce ( talk) 04:18, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
Rikster2, and @ Corkythehornetfan:, we still have an inconsistency in the navbox groupings that went into effect several months ago. In the case of college football coaches like Jim Harbaugh, the navbox for the subject's current team is placed outside of the grouping. This is not the case for college basketball coaches like Roy Williams. Doesn't seem to be the case for pro coaches like Bill Belichick or Jeff Hornacek. Since you guys took the lead on this navbox grouping, can the two of you work out what the proper form is supposed to be and make things consistent? Thanks, Jweiss11 ( talk) 07:16, 24 January 2018 (UTC)
All due respect, but they do include the Jr. in his name on both the Cavs website and on NBA.com (and it's on the back of his uniform).

I notice you reverted an edit I made on the 2017–18 NCAA men's season page of "Loyola (Illinois)" to "Loyola–Chicago". While the disambiguator for "Loyola" has traditionally been the state abbreviation in parentheses, the AP and ESPN are now calling the Chicago school "Loyola–Chicago"—see, for example, the recap of the 2018 MVC men's championship game (AP wire story picked up by ESPN; note also the page heading uses "Loyola-Chicago"). "Loyola (MD)" can stay in that form for now. — Dale Arnett ( talk) 03:08, 5 March 2018 (UTC)

I noticed that you're frequently the one having to revert and warn the range of IPs 45.58* and 45.78* (from ISP Fibernetics and based in Toronto, like this one) that keep vandalizing rosters. Let me know when you see them, and I can block them. Hopefully, they'll get bored eventually.

Just want to let you know that Colonies Chris also moved to ice hockey pages and started doing the same thing despite the ruling of ANI in December 2017. I believe he again should be reported if this behavior continues. – Sabbatino ( talk) 14:57, 29 March 2018 (UTC)
@Rikster2, Sabbatino: I just made another post to Chris about dropping states. The last ANI was worded around state abbreviations, if one wanted to wikilawyer it. There should be no dispute at this point that there is no consensus to use AWB to drop states, abbreviation or not, from tables and lists. If anyone posts to ANI, I'd suggest stripping AWB rights.— Bagumba ( talk) 14:09, 10 April 2018 (UTC)

Rikster2, per your edit at Portsmouth Invitational Tournament, note that we categorize "pre-draft" college football all-star games like the East–West Shrine Game and the Senior Bowl as college football events. What's the difference with basketball? Also, note the categorization of 2008 Portsmouth Invitational Tournament. Jweiss11 ( talk) 00:19, 2 April 2018 (UTC)
His mom might be saying he intends to hire an agent, but he says he's not. In a statement he released through KU's official website he said: "I have nothing but great memories and times with the Jayhawk family – my coaches, my teammates and the fans, I will never forget the accomplishments and how you all have supported me. It is now time for me to move on to the next chapter of my life. I am declaring for the 2018 NBA Draft and do not plan to hire an agent at this moment. Thanks for the love. ROCK CHALK!!!"

It appears that this IP range of 240D:1A:FC:2B00:* has been serially repeating links of teams in infoboxes for a while. I rangeblocked then for a week.

Hi Rikster. Just an FYI, Bob Prewitt was an SMU basketball coach who recently died who is currently a redlink. Thought you might want to tackle this one.

Hello! First of all, thank you for reviewing the pages I've edited in the last few days and correcting the mistakes I had done – it seems that I'm still a bit rusty after several years of inactivity on Wikipedia. I used to edit on football articles and I'm new at editing and creating basketball pages, so I still have to learn some aspects of it. I have a question: I saw that you changed some names in the Parade HS All-America teams that I wrote. I had written those names that way because that's how they were reported by the press at the time: for example, Tito Horford was still known with his actual name Alfredo, Boo Harvey was known as Greg, Pooh Richardson as Jerome, and so on. For what I understand, they still did not have their nicknames during their high school years, they got them later. So, isn't it more correct to write their names as they were reported by the press, since at the time their nicknames did not exist? Because in 1985 nobody wrote, say, "Pooh Richardson", they all wrote Jerome. Let me know what you think! Thank you! -- Triple 8~enwiki ( talk) 10:54, 1 June 2018 (UTC)
Hey, maybe the "current season" link should be removed from the NBA templates? Kante4 ( talk) 12:51, 10 June 2018 (UTC)
I'm concerned about the viability of this article. If, indeed, the only notable thing about Thompson is that he coached Pat Conroy, then he doesn't seem notable enough for an article. I've seen other people point out in deletion discussions that "notability isn't inherited." If he is notable for coaching Conroy, then it seems a quote from Conroy about him is one of the most notable things about him. What are your thoughts on this? Amsgearing ( talk) 16:15, 12 June 2018 (UTC)
It is not correct that 98% of the material is about Conroy. That may be true if present-day sources, but there’s plenty from his time as a player and coach. But the article isn’t particularly long that a potentially defamatory recollection needs to be in there if not balanced by a deeper discussion of his entire public life. I’d encourage you to read WP:UNDUE. Rikster2 ( talk) 21:33, 13 June 2018 (UTC)
Dozens of sources have said he's been officially measured at 6-8 and 230. Those listing on his team's website are from when he was 16 years old. I know there is this idea that only a team's website listing should be used here for heights and weights, but that cannot be the case, when those listings are well known and proven to be very outdated and incorrect. Bluesangrel ( talk) 22:04, 20 June 2018 (UTC)

I will keep that in mind from now on. I was thinking the infobox would mention the summer league team until the end of summer league and then be removed without listing in the team history, since they are technically representing the team. But I don't feel very strongly about this and am willing to no longer follow this made-up convention. ~ EDDY ( talk/ contribs)~ 23:11, 24 June 2018 (UTC)
As an offshoot from
Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Basketball#LNB_Pro_A_Notability, do you agree with the inclusion of
these Eastearn Europrean leagues that I tried to revert as "no consensus" before? As a background, the editor added it based on
Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Basketball/Archive_10#Revised_WP:NHOOPS_guideline, where you commented "but need to look further at the Eastern European leagues you recommend.
This same editor recently tried a
backdoor tactic to add criteria to the boxing SNG, but was thwarted. I don't know much about those basketball leagues, maybe they "really" do belong, but I'd be hard pressed to believe it based on that discussion alone.—

Georges Niang has signed a new contract with the Utah Jazz. It’s not a two-way contract. The Jazz have announced this in a press release. https://www.nba.com/jazz/news/jazz-sign-forward-georges-niang — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.75.100.126 ( talk) 11:01, 14 July 2018 (UTC)
The height listing and weight listing for him was 7-2 275 in Europe, and in NBA draft listings also. the 7-1 240 was from his junior year of high school in USA and for some reason NBA used that. Finally, the NBA updated it to 7-2 275 for summer league. Regaredless of what NBA profile says, that listing is clearly absurd and an example of why there should be exceptions here to how height and weight listings are done and not just whatever the team listing says. Anyone can look at Papagiannis and see 240 pounds is a completely absurd listing...he looks like 290 at least by the eyes. Seriously, you can see how ridiculously wrong that listing is by looking at him in a game with other players. There has to be some kind of exception made to this listing only what a team listing says, in such blatantly wrong cases like this, especially when we have listings from Europe and summer league that are different.

About Aundre Jackson birthplace, some of the sources say that it is Kennedale, Texas, but those are usually stats pages [1] [2].

Thank you for your explanation, I used to write them in chronological order, which was the only way it made sense to me since I had not found a player article model. I'll sort them as you told me. NCAA All-American lists are a lot of work...

Rikster, I have found 11 NBA players who signed with a team in the regular season, and did not play a minute for the team, and, properly, do not have their narrative accompanied by any mention of not playing. I am reluctant to tell you who those players are because I believe it is improper to note that as its goal is to somehow minimize making an NBA team, and do not want to help include that comment in theirs. Also, I have found no other player who includes that comment. A player would never include that in a description of another player who makes a roster, because they understand there is no difference. Also, I have serious doubts that any fan sees that as relevant information in any way. The mention of a team as a team who paid a player and who had the player on their roster should always be included in the list of teams, because, simply it is fact that the player was a member of the team, on the roster, and was compensated by the team in the regular season and or playoffs. 2601:189:57F:4235:C4A:1D95:A855:E2E7 ( talk) 01:28, 11 August 2018 (UTC)ajg sr.

Rikster2, per your edits at Wallace Wade regarding the external link to sports-reference, do you have a consensus discussion to support the inclusion of one-off, non-standardized links? The existence of Template:Basketballstats with nearly 2000 transclusions implies a consensus for use of that template to links to Basketball-Reference.com. I have no issue with expanding that template to also service links to SRCBB. Jweiss11 ( talk) 00:14, 29 September 2018 (UTC)

I was looking for official news on Rockets' site, but they are one of the teams that often do not publish less important news like - waivers of marginal players, G-league call-ups etc.
They have 16 players on their roster at the moment, which is only possible if at least one of the players is on a two-way deal (15 is the limit for regular contracts unless someone is suspended, like Meeks in Milwaukee)
Reliable source that both of them were converted: https://twitter.com/MikeAScotto/status/1051944680336908289
Also, if you select Rockets here http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine , you'll see those two marked as 2-way players.

Given that Findlay Prep produces so many notable basketball players (which is entirely a product of how the school is constructed) and the article seems to have a policy of including only notable alumni that meet specific alumni and not all that are notable enough for an article would it be prudent to create a "Findlay Prep Alumni" category?

Hey, Rikster, I'm having some concerns about your anti-RealGM policy. There are a lot of signings not being confirmed by teams or the NBA transactions page. In fact there is one notable transaction that was confirmed by RealGM that stated the Washington Wizards had signed Kellen Dunham [1], but the transactions page states that Dunham was waived by the Wizards.

Hey. You're often the expert on this subject – a user has added "U.S." to Ray Allen's infobox birthplace citing Template:Infobox person.

What is the SOP for who gets included? I happened to notice that Earl Barron and Dorell Wright were removed from the 2005–06 navbox because they weren't on the playoffs roster ( per bbr). Barron's profile still has the navbox on it even though he's not listed on it. Both Barron and Wright show NBA champion in their infobox honors (FWIW, an IP added Wright back a few months ago.

Hello! I have seen that you seem to own the 1994–95 CBA Official Guide. If you do, would you mind checking if Tony Harris was listed as the 1993–94 CBA scoring champion? He did lead the league in scoring average but he only played 23 games, I am not sure whether he had played the minimum amount of games needed to be the scoring leader. It was the only case among the CBA statistical leaders in which I could not verify the leader on more than one source. I had found the confirmation that Harris was considered the top scorer on another website I can't remember, but if there's an official source for that, it would be great.

I noticed that you reverted recent changes on the Damian Lillard page that reflected official recognition he'd received during the ongoing NBA Bubble, including his selection as the Bubble MVP and an All-Bubble 1st Team member. You cited insufficient consensus, but I've yet to see any developed objection to the inclusion of these awards on the player's career highlights.
I'd like to learn a bit more about your view. Are you of the opinion that these official NBA awards do not belong on his career highlights? If so, why? They've received extensive media coverage and are now an important part of the player's full profile. Any elaboration on your view would be appreciated. -- Ex Parte talk | contribs 19:15, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
You don't have to do this brother. I can go forever.
Hey. It seems like you mistakenly rolled back my recent change to the Damian Lillard page that reflected the consensus that, even if it's an open question whether Bubble MVP should be highlighted in the infobox, all Bubble awards (including MVP and All-Bubble) are worth mentioning in the body of the page.
If this was intentional, however, I recommend that you revisit the discussion at WT:NBA where every editor (with, I suppose, you as the only exception) agreed that such honors should at least be included in the body of the article. -- Ex Parte talk | contribs 20:47, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

Hey. I see you edited the Trace Cureton page back in January.

His NCAA D1 stint at Utah State was nothing to ride home about and I don't see too much to support GNG from that front.

Hello and good morning. I am an Italian Wikipedia user. I've seen some old arguments of yours regarding the criteria for determining when a player is NBA champion, especially the cases of Varejao and now Torrey Craig. I personally agree that a player cut or traded in the middle of the season cannot be considered an NBA champion even if the franchise gives him the NBA ring, but I was wondering if there are and, if so, where can I find official sources that they determine that those types of players are not NBA champions. I think that our italian Wikipedia does not have a solution yet, because I see Varejao with two NBA Titles (Cavs 2016 and Warriors 2017) and even Torrey Craig with an NBA Championship in his honors and awards, no matter the result of the NBA Finals. Thank you very much in advance for your reply and your time, and I apologize if I violated some rules asking you this question. Lovethisgame97 ( talk) 12:06, 9 July 2021 (UTC)

Regarding NBA early entrants in 2020, I'm aware that Lincoln Bernhard was not on the league's published list. I know that, because I trained him at the time. His agent tried to get him on, but because Lincoln had not played a college game due to multiple surgeries and had to sit for 2 full seasons, the league accepted his early entry papers but did not place him on the final list. He's listed as an early entrant on RealGM, and there's also a local article about him declaring for the draft. He gave up his entire college eligibility, so I'm thinking it'd be applicable for him to make the list. Not 100% sure how the wikipedia editors do it though. As far as where he is now, he suffered labral tears in both shoulders at the end of his training prep to attempt to play in the G League, but last I heard, he's targeting next season as a return to the court.

Rikster2, and @ Corkythehornetfan:, we still have an inconsistency in the navbox groupings that went into effect several months ago. In the case of college football coaches like Jim Harbaugh, the navbox for the subject's current team is placed outside of the grouping. This is not the case for college basketball coaches like Roy Williams. Doesn't seem to be the case for pro coaches like Bill Belichick or Jeff Hornacek. Since you guys took the lead on this navbox grouping, can the two of you work out what the proper form is supposed to be and make things consistent?

I notice you reverted an edit I made on the 2017–18 NCAA men's season page of "Loyola (Illinois)" to "Loyola–Chicago". While the disambiguator for "Loyola" has traditionally been the state abbreviation in parentheses, the AP and ESPN are now calling the Chicago school "Loyola–Chicago"—see, for example, the recap of the 2018 MVC men's championship game (AP wire story picked up by ESPN; note also the page heading uses "Loyola-Chicago"). "Loyola (MD)" can stay in that form for now. — Dale Arnett ( talk) 03:08, 5 March 2018 (UTC)

@Rikster2, Sabbatino: I just made another post to Chris about dropping states. The last ANI was worded around state abbreviations, if one wanted to wikilawyer it. There should be no dispute at this point that there is no consensus to use AWB to drop states, abbreviation or not, from tables and lists.

Hello! First of all, thank you for reviewing the pages I've edited in the last few days and correcting the mistakes I had done – it seems that I'm still a bit rusty after several years of inactivity on Wikipedia. I used to edit on football articles and I'm new at editing and creating basketball pages, so I still have to learn some aspects of it. I have a question: I saw that you changed some names in the Parade HS All-America teams that I wrote. I had written those names that way because that's how they were reported by the press at the time: for example, Tito Horford was still known with his actual name Alfredo, Boo Harvey was known as Greg, Pooh Richardson as Jerome, and so on. For what I understand, they still did not have their nicknames during their high school years, they got them later. So, isn't it more correct to write their names as they were reported by the press, since at the time their nicknames did not exist? Because in 1985 nobody wrote, say, "Pooh Richardson", they all wrote Jerome. Let me know what you think! Thank you! -- Triple 8~enwiki ( talk) 10:54, 1 June 2018 (UTC)
Hey, maybe the "current season" link should be removed from the NBA templates? Kante4 ( talk) 12:51, 10 June 2018 (UTC)
I'm concerned about the viability of this article. If, indeed, the only notable thing about Thompson is that he coached Pat Conroy, then he doesn't seem notable enough for an article. I've seen other people point out in deletion discussions that "notability isn't inherited." If he is notable for coaching Conroy, then it seems a quote from Conroy about him is one of the most notable things about him. What are your thoughts on this? Amsgearing ( talk) 16:15, 12 June 2018 (UTC)
It is not correct that 98% of the material is about Conroy. That may be true if present-day sources, but there’s plenty from his time as a player and coach. But the article isn’t particularly long that a potentially defamatory recollection needs to be in there if not balanced by a deeper discussion of his entire public life. I’d encourage you to read WP:UNDUE. Rikster2 ( talk) 21:33, 13 June 2018 (UTC)
Dozens of sources have said he's been officially measured at 6-8 and 230. Those listing on his team's website are from when he was 16 years old. I know there is this idea that only a team's website listing should be used here for heights and weights, but that cannot be the case, when those listings are well known and proven to be very outdated and incorrect.

As an offshoot from

The height listing and weight listing for him was 7-2 275 in Europe, and in NBA draft listings also. the 7-1 240 was from his junior year of high school in USA and for some reason NBA used that. Finally, the NBA updated it to 7-2 275 for summer league. Regaredless of what NBA profile says, that listing is clearly absurd and an example of why there should be exceptions here to how height and weight listings are done and not just whatever the team listing says. Anyone can look at Papagiannis and see 240 pounds is a completely absurd listing...he looks like 290 at least by the eyes. Seriously, you can see how ridiculously wrong that listing is by looking at him in a game with other players. There has to be some kind of exception made to this listing only what a team listing says, in such blatantly wrong cases like this, especially when we have listings from Europe and summer league that are different.

Rikster, I have found 11 NBA players who signed with a team in the regular season, and did not play a minute for the team, and, properly, do not have their narrative accompanied by any mention of not playing. I am reluctant to tell you who those players are because I believe it is improper to note that as its goal is to somehow minimize making an NBA team, and do not want to help include that comment in theirs. Also, I have found no other player who includes that comment. A player would never include that in a description of another player who makes a roster, because they understand there is no difference. Also, I have serious doubts that any fan sees that as relevant information in any way. The mention of a team as a team who paid a player and who had the player on their roster should always be included in the list of teams, because, simply it is fact that the player was a member of the team, on the roster, and was compensated by the team in the regular season and or playoffs. 2601:189:57F:4235:C4A:1D95:A855:E2E7 ( talk) 01:28, 11 August 2018 (UTC)ajg sr.

I was looking for official news on Rockets' site, but they are one of the teams that often do not publish less important news like - waivers of marginal players, G-league call-ups etc.
They have 16 players on their roster at the moment, which is only possible if at least one of the players is on a two-way deal (15 is the limit for regular contracts unless someone is suspended, like Meeks in Milwaukee)

What is the SOP for who gets included? I happened to notice that Earl Barron and Dorell Wright were removed from the 2005–06 navbox because they weren't on the playoffs roster ( per bbr). Barron's profile still has the navbox on it even though he's not listed on it. Both Barron and Wright show NBA champion in their infobox honors (FWIW, an IP added Wright back a few months ago.

Hello! I have seen that you seem to own the 1994–95 CBA Official Guide. If you do, would you mind checking if Tony Harris was listed as the 1993–94 CBA scoring champion? He did lead the league in scoring average but he only played 23 games, I am not sure whether he had played the minimum amount of games needed to be the scoring leader. It was the only case among the CBA statistical leaders in which I could not verify the leader on more than one source. I had found the confirmation that Harris was considered the top scorer on another website I can't remember, but if there's an official source for that, it would be great.

I noticed that you reverted recent changes on the Damian Lillard page that reflected official recognition he'd received during the ongoing NBA Bubble, including his selection as the Bubble MVP and an All-Bubble 1st Team member. You cited insufficient consensus, but I've yet to see any developed objection to the inclusion of these awards on the player's career highlights.
I'd like to learn a bit more about your view. Are you of the opinion that these official NBA awards do not belong on his career highlights? If so, why? They've received extensive media coverage and are now an important part of the player's full profile. Any elaboration on your view would be appreciated. -- Ex Parte talk | contribs 19:15, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
You don't have to do this brother. I can go forever.
Hey. It seems like you mistakenly rolled back my recent change to the Damian Lillard page that reflected the consensus that, even if it's an open question whether Bubble MVP should be highlighted in the infobox, all Bubble awards (including MVP and All-Bubble) are worth mentioning in the body of the page.
If this was intentional, however, I recommend that you revisit the discussion at WT:NBA where every editor (with, I suppose, you as the only exception) agreed that such honors should at least be included in the body of the article. -- Ex Parte talk | contribs 20:47, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

Hello and good morning. I am an Italian Wikipedia user. I've seen some old arguments of yours regarding the criteria for determining when a player is NBA champion, especially the cases of Varejao and now Torrey Craig. I personally agree that a player cut or traded in the middle of the season cannot be considered an NBA champion even if the franchise gives him the NBA ring, but I was wondering if there are and, if so, where can I find official sources that they determine that those types of players are not NBA champions. I think that our italian Wikipedia does not have a solution yet, because I see Varejao with two NBA Titles (Cavs 2016 and Warriors 2017) and even Torrey Craig with an NBA Championship in his honors and awards, no matter the result of the NBA Finals. Thank you very much in advance for your reply and your time, and I apologize if I violated some rules asking you this question. Lovethisgame97 ( talk) 12:06, 9 July 2021 (UTC)

Regarding NBA early entrants in 2020, I'm aware that Lincoln Bernhard was not on the league's published list. I know that, because I trained him at the time. His agent tried to get him on, but because Lincoln had not played a college game due to multiple surgeries and had to sit for 2 full seasons, the league accepted his early entry papers but did not place him on the final list. He's listed as an early entrant on RealGM, and there's also a local article about him declaring for the draft. He gave up his entire college eligibility, so I'm thinking it'd be applicable for him to make the list. Not 100% sure how the wikipedia editors do it though. As far as where he is now, he suffered labral tears in both shoulders at the end of his training prep to attempt to play in the G League, but last I heard, he's targeting next season as a return to the court.

Date of birth checks out, but the CBA guide says the birthplace is Detroit. What is the source of the Farmington Hills birthplace? Rikster2 ( talk) 13:21, 24 April 2023 (UTC)
I was doing a search of past Morehead State University men's basketball players and noticed that a few players are missing from the list of names. I'm trying to track down some people and this was the reason for the search. There is a Ramon C. Kelly, Quinton Smith and Kyle Hankins. I couldn't find any information on them and was hoping to pull up all the men from these rosters. I know they played around the time Ricky Minard, Chad McKnight and Quentin Pryor were attending school and on the team. It would be great to get them added. Thank you. 1024Hawk ( talk) 20:57, 3 June 2023 (UTC)
At Talk:David Webber (basketball)/GA1, I have one citation that needs to be replaced. At David_Webber_(basketball)#Professional career, the last two sentences are about CBA content. Can you help me source it?- TonyTheTiger ( T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 04:37, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
