Template:Did you know nominations/1991 All-Big Ten Conference football team

Bagumba, I wasn't sure whether the intended ping from this nomination had actually gone through to you—it doesn't appear to be wikilinked, which probably means it didn't. At any rate, Cbl62 has answered your query, so please return when you can to continue the review. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 16:57, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

I was away on vacation, but the DYK has since been promoted.—Bagumba (talk) 01:50, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

Rondae Hollis-Jefferson

I know you are on vacation, but if you get a moment could you close this AfD discussion? There was no dispute that he met GNG and now he meets NBASKETBALL too. Thanks Rikster2 (talk) 11:46, 26 June 2015 (UTC)

Appears to be resolved now.—Bagumba (talk) 01:50, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

Possibly Humongous Sock Puppeteer

Greetings. I'm writing simply because you were my contact on the only Sock Puppet Investigation I've initiated. I've stumbled upon a likely puppeteer who may have dozens of user IDs. Note that I say "may." I'd like to bounce the preliminaries off of a knowledgeable person before doing anything formal. If what I surmise is factual, there's going to be a lot of work to be done on my end and for Sock Puppet admins also. Drop me a line when you get back fr/ vacation and have a bit of time. Thanks & regards. Tapered (talk) 05:11, 28 June 2015 (UTC)

@Tapered: I am back. Let me know if you still have questions.—Bagumba (talk) 01:35, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

Michael Sam

Hi! I noticed that you placed semi-protection on Michael Sam eight months ago. As he is no longer in the NFL and hasn't been for quite some time, the article is significantly less likely to be the subject of vandalism and BLP violations. In keeping with Wikipedia's general philosophy that anyone should be able to edit and protection should be used sparingly, I'd appreciate it if you'd consider removing the protection or reducing it to pending changes. ~ Rob^Talk 08:21, 29 June 2015 (UTC)

@BU Rob13: He is still occasionally in the news, e.g. his current stint playing in Canada. Based on past history of the article, unconfirmed editors have not been kind when the topics of football and gays intersect. I'm comfortable having the remaining four months of semi-protection run its course. If you still disagree, feel free to get other opinion(s) at WP:RFRPL. Cheers.—Bagumba (talk) 01:44, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

NBA Summer League Rosters

Hello,

Is it possible to add summer league rosters to the team's season 2015 - 2016 for summer league?

UVABallers (talk) 00:27, 2 July 2015 (UTC)

@UVABallers: Personally, I think summer league teams have very little relation to the actual NBA season. I don't think they are generally included, but you can start a discussion at WT:NBA if you think it should be added.—Bagumba (talk) 01:47, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

Kennedy Meeks

User:Mwrcwms has repeatedly taken down the image at Kennedy Meeks. Recently he claims that Meeks himself wants the image taken down. Is this okay? If the subject of an article requests that we take an image down, do we have to comply? Of course, this is assuming Mwrcwms actually contacted Meeks. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 14:08, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) @Editorofthewiki: WP:NOTCENSORED applies. ~ Rob^Talk 14:32, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

@Editorofthewiki: It's unclear if the editor has a conflict of interest, which might affect their judgement. Per WP:AUTOPROB, Wikipedia is receptive to users correcting errors about themselves, but it's unclear how this picture should be handled in that respect. At the very least, edit warring is never appropriate, and dispute resolution seems applicable.—Bagumba (talk) 16:11, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

@Editorofthewiki: Likely a dead issue as users have been blocked per Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/PWfellow.—Bagumba (talk) 21:06, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

Semi protect

Paul Pierce needs another run. The last semi ended today and already there is a flurry of IP edits etc. DaHuzyBru (talk) 17:22, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

Done—Bagumba (talk) 17:24, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

Cleveland Cavaliers

Are you an administrator? If so, then I think I need to get a consensus of the administrators on protecting this page, because I just had to revert blatant vandalism.

Hardcoreromancatholic (talk) 21:56, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

Never mind!!!! I see that the page has already been semiprotected due to vandalism.

Hachim Mastour

Hello, I tried to expand the article by adding to his article : Hachim has been eligible to play for both Italy national team and Morocco national team , On 19 May 2015. he announced representing Morocco national team because he felt Morocco is his country Italian paper La Gazzetta dello Sport said Italy national team lost a talented player with his decision.

Tad asked me to look for few more points I will try hopefully to cover during the weekend :) thank you for helping with this :) Adnan (talk) 22:50, 10 July 2015 (UTC)

Tyrone Garland DYK

Hello. Could you please review my DYK nomination of Tyrone Garland? It was nominated on June 22, but has not even been touched yet. TempleM (talk) 14:37, 11 July 2015 (UTC)

@TempleM: I cannot commit at this time. In my experience, a particular nomination sometimes take longer than others to receive attention, but they do get reviewed in due time. As long as you nominated it in time, the request will not "expire". Cheers.—Bagumba (talk) 16:39, 11 July 2015 (UTC)

Semi

Semi for Marcus Thornton (basketball, born 1987) please. Cheers. DaHuzyBru (talk) 17:16, 13 July 2015 (UTC)

Done, since it's mostly unsourced edits, but it's also one of those gray areas since the agent announced it.[1].—Bagumba (talk) 17:20, 13 July 2015 (UTC)

Hm true. It's a relatively notable signing though, the Rockets will no doubt announce it in time. DaHuzyBru (talk) 17:28, 13 July 2015 (UTC)

Probably trying to hold on to cap space as long as possible. I forgot how Chris Bosh was finally listed last year when it took a month to officially announce his signing. Anyhow ...—Bagumba (talk) 17:33, 13 July 2015 (UTC)

Yeah, it well in fact might be like Bosh's situation this year. After July 9, there have not been many official signings i.e. the Kings and Nuggets have lots pending. But yeah, all good :) DaHuzyBru (talk) 18:02, 13 July 2015 (UTC)

Response to your revert

Bagumba, looks like Dat money$ responded to your revert at Chris Andersen, but it was misplaced. I've moved it over to Talk:Chris Andersen#Moved here from Template talk:Talkback so you can respond. Also, it's best to avoid linking to the {{talkback}} template when working with new editors, since they often mistakenly click the wrong link and respond at Template talk:Talkback. Thanks, Oiyarbepsy (talk) 03:32, 14 July 2015 (UTC)

• BTW, if you respond, you might want to post at the user's talk page pointing them there. They seem to be struggling with talk pages. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 03:34, 14 July 2015 (UTC)

Michael Jordan

Yes I looked back on what I removed and I must have been thinking about something else because I thought I was removing the number 9 being listed in Jordan's "career numbers" spot of his infobox. Correct me if I'm wrong but I guess I removed that he wore number 12. What I was thinking was that someone included that he wore number 9 for Team USA which we do not include in that spot of the infobox. Including number 12 was correct and it was my bad for removing it. Thank you. --RichieConant (talk) 17:00, 15 July 2015 (UTC)

@RichieConant: You can always go into a page's history to find any specific change made by an editor to any article. In this case, your removal of No. 9 was ultimately correct, but the footnote for No. 12 should have remained. No problem, we all make mistakes unintentionally every now and then. However, using edit summaries does make it easier for others to understand an editor's original intent. Cheers.—Bagumba (talk) 17:09, 15 July 2015 (UTC)

@Bagumba: Ok thank you very much. So when I make a addition/subtraction to a page I should provide a description of why I did this. Where would I provide that description? --RichieConant (talk) 17:15, 15 July 2015 (UTC)

@RichieConant: Have you looked at Help:Edit summary? Also, Wikipedia:Help desk may be of assistance if you are still stuck. Good luck!—Bagumba (talk) 17:29, 15 July 2015 (UTC)

@Bagumba: Great! Thanks for your help. As you can see I am kind of new to this but would like to be able to help. --RichieConant (talk) 17:31, 15 July 2015 (UTC)

Seth Curry Controversy

Good day sir or madam, I see you have an issue with my edits on the page of Seth Curry. If it is of any help, adding that he was automatically entered into the NBA draft as a graduating senior does hold significance. There should ALWAYS be a large amount of information in an article and what happened to a player directly following there college career is very important. As for me not adding an edit summary, i apologize it completely slipped my mind. Thank you and have a blessed day. --Mathgenious989 (talk) 19:50, 15 July 2015 (UTC)

@Mathgenious989: Feel free to comment at the general discussion at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_National_Basketball_Association#Senior_automatically_in_NBA_draft. Thanks.—Bagumba (talk) 19:53, 15 July 2015 (UTC)

Baron Davis in Joe Dirt 2

I placed an edit to the Baron Davis page stating that he appeared in the film Joe Dirt 2. However, you removed it. My source is the movie that I watched, in which he appeared in, and was later confirmed in the credits of the film. Just because it is not on IMDB or no the internet, does not make it untrue. Here are a few links that will back up my edit

NBA Team Offseason Transitions

Hello, Is it really necessary for the 2015–16 Cleveland Cavaliers season Offseason Transition, for subtraction to put trades in? And for additions, is it necessary to have players resign in additions? Just wondering.
