UCLA Blue

The links you added, don't get close to the type of coverage envisaged by WP:GNG, I am happy for a redirect to a line or two in the main UCLA page if that is OK with you ? Mtking ^(edits) 03:52, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

I'd say to keep based on an other stuff exists argument, and my not being sure if a different consensus exists for colors. Many other color articles fall into the same situation as this one. Otherwise, I'd like to suggest that you use {{merge to}} and {{merge from}} on the relevant pages, and start a discussion to reach a consensus. Cheers.—Bagumba (talk) 05:51, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

deadlinks

Thanks for your help. With a little more poking around from your lead, the legal status seems a little shaky; but I'm glad to live with it for now. If the self-proclaimed "independent coverage" site really wants the piece scrubbed from the web, they seem to have that option available to them. And you were right: I think the piece had already been tagged "dead", but I was basically just winging it to remove the tag. Thanks again! Swliv (talk) 01:27, 15 November 2011 (UTC)

Need assistance regarding a user who continues to troll Cung Le articles

Hi, I just wanted to know if you can help edit or help me contact someone regarding a specific user who refuses to acknowledge any proof that I have provided regarding a recent error by the UFC. I know we have had our difference with the Jeremy Lin article, but I believe it was only for the betterment for Jeremy Lin's wiki. However, there seems to be an issue with a specific user who continues to revert and troll Cung Le's article and I'm requesting assistance and I think you can help.

The specific user in question is Glock17gen4. His only evidence is a picture based on a mistake by UFC production, where MMA fighter Cung Le has already responded that he did not know about on his twitter, yet Glock17gen4 refuses to accept that and continues to revert Cung Le's Nationality as a current Vietnamese national.

I have provided significant proof in both discussions at the UFC 139 and Cung Le's articles. Please take a look. Cung Le has acknowledged both his American nationality and his Vietnamese heritage (especially with the 3 striples flag which represents the fallen Saigon). I hope you can help. Both his website at CungLe.com and UFC.com profile describe him as a Vietnamese-American and he quoted as calling himself an American Wushu champion. Glock17gen4 seems to not understand the differences between Nationality and Ethnicity. He continues to only use that one picture as his proof. PinoyFilAmPride (talk) 23:29, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

I am settling this situation right now.—cyberpower (Talk to Me)(Contributions) 00:26, 23 November 2011 (UTC)

Sorry I wasn't able to look at this sooner, as I was out for holidays. The article lists him as American, so there doesnt seem to be an issue currently. In the future, one alternative to edit-warring would be to use the {{dubious}} template and start a discussion. Sorry I couldn't chime in sooner.—Bagumba (talk) 03:08, 28 November 2011 (UTC)

This situation has been resolved. However it left me, User:PinoyFilAmPride, and User:Glock17gen4 blocked indefinitely because of oversight issues.—cyberpower (Talk to Me)(Contributions) 01:08, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

Question regarding bibliography

Can you take a look here? thank you in advance.--Arnaugir (talk) 22:16, 28 November 2011 (UTC)

Hello, Bagumba. You have new messages at DaHuzyBru's talk page.
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

Sorry!

Oops, sorry for breaking the ref at the Jeremy Lin article. I thought there was a bot that automatically fixed those refs, but I guess it's not working anymore. Zagalejo^^^ 04:48, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

No worries. The article is in need of a good copyediting on his rookie season.—Bagumba (talk) 04:52, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

Qualcomm

Good move back. Before I saw that, I had left a followup note to the previous mover which I will restate here: "It is not wikipedia's purpose to act as a lackey for corporate whims. A redirect was the right way to handle this nonsense." If this were a long-term commitment, it would be a different story. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 02:41, 17 December 2011 (UTC)

Pujols... Oops, my bad

I was under the impression I was being the good guy when I was reverting the Pujols page to reflect his status as a new Angel. I see this is not the case and Wikipedia's rules make sense. Didn't mean to be a troublemaker.

Also -- I don't quite understand these talk pages, so apologies if this is going to the wrong place.
GET TO DA CHOPPAlly yours,
Belowenter (talk) 19:38, 20 December 2011 (UTC)

No problem. You are encouraged to be bold and help improve articles. Occasionally, you will make a mistake in good faith, no big deal. However, one of the few rules is to discuss if anybody objects to your edits; dont just keep adding it back and edit war. Thanks. You have found my talk page just fine. There are also talk pages for articles, like Talk:Albert Pujols, for discussing specific articles. Here is more info on using talk pages. Hope you continue editing here.—Bagumba (talk) 19:55, 20 December 2011 (UTC)

For just a hot second, I thought maybe the Angels deal had not been finalized and that there was still hope the Cubs could get him. HA! :) ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 22:32, 20 December 2011 (UTC)

Sports transaction template

Wow, I was completely unaware of that template. That'll be extremely useful in the future, as I've lost count of how many coaches' articles I've updated regarding new hires this season alone, so there will be many more to come in the coming years. Thanks for making me aware of the template. --Kevin W./Talk•CFB uniforms/Talk 21:27, 20 December 2011 (UTC)

NP. I just created it the other week with all the MLB and NBA signings. Its a compromise to people inevitably putting the tentative news in.—Bagumba (talk) 21:32, 20 December 2011 (UTC)

Ah, I see. Well, it was an extremely good idea to create it. Is it just me or has this year's coaching turnover rate been higher than past years'? --Kevin W./Talk•CFB uniforms/Talk 21:33, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
