CS1 error on List of NBA regular season records[edit]

Hello, I'm Qwerfjkl (bot). I have automatically detected that this edit performed by you, on the page List of NBA regular season records, may have introduced referencing errors. They are as follows:

Hush (business) moved to draftspace[edit]

Thanks for your contributions to Hush (business). Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it has too many problems of language or grammar, it is promotional and reads like an advertisement and you may have a possible Conflict of Interest. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. microbiologyMarcus ^{(petri dish)} 13:31, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, thank you Marcus. No conflict of interest. I will trim it substantially and do my best to write it in a neutral point of view with sufficient reliable sources. BeFriendlyGoodSir (talk) 17:26, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@MicrobiologyMarcus, can you please tell me exactly what sounds promotional so I know what should be removed? BeFriendlyGoodSir (talk) 17:28, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@MicrobiologyMarcus, Sleep Country Canada's other subsidiary Endy Sleep was accepted on wiki. Hush reads very similar to that in my opinion. Please advice. BeFriendlyGoodSir (talk) 17:35, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I would caution against the use of WP:WHATABOUT arguments, but I don't even think they apply here, the articles are drastically different.

If we taken the Endy Sleep § History section as an example, the section is very factually driven and well cited. Instead, here, Draft:Hush (business) § History reads like a promotional biography of the founder and § Products is an entirely uncited section that lists products, contrary to WP:ISNOT−particularly WP:NOTCATALOG.

Remember to include inline citations to all factual statments in the article before submitting for review to the mainspace. Best, microbiologyMarcus ^{(petri dish)} 18:07, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@BeFriendlyGoodSir: the article overall has good potential, and the fact that it was draftified upon review and not marked for deletion is a good sign; it allows the article to continue to grow if it isn't ready for the mainspace. Feel free to {{ping}} me when you think it's ready and I would be glad to move it back to mainspace when some changes are made. All the best, microbiologyMarcus ^{(petri dish)} 18:12, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@MicrobiologyMarcus: I think it is ready for publication now. Please review and let me know. Feel free to remove whatever it is you think needs to be removed. Thanks, BeFriendlyGoodSir (talk) 19:04, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@MicrobiologyMarcus: I removed promotional biography of the founder, deleted product catalog details, and added more inline citations. BeFriendlyGoodSir (talk) 19:29, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@MicrobiologyMarcus, first sentence was changed so it is fact-based. Is it good to go? BeFriendlyGoodSir (talk) 20:12, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:Clay Bennett NBA Owner Oklahoma City Thunder.png. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of non-free use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of non-free use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable non-free use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable non-free use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

Introduction to contentious topics[edit]

You have recently edited a page related to articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles, a topic designated as contentious. This standard message is designed as an introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

What is considered a reliable source on wikipedia? BeFriendlyGoodSir (talk) 03:32, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Reliable sources; established news outlets, books from reputable authors/publishers, peer reviewed journal articles, etc, in this case, Wikipedia:Reliable_sources#News_organizations is helpful and so it Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources. When it comes to Biographies of Living Persons there's higher sourcing requirements, especially when it comes to serious allegations. In situations like these, gossip and tabloid outlets will rush to cover things and sometimes have erroneous reporting; more reliable outlets tend to be slower but more factual in their reporting, so it's best to wait for them. Out of the sources you cited, Sportskeeda is unreliable because, similar to Wikipedia, a lot of it is written by its users rather than employed journalists, while VladTV is the sort of celebrity gossip site which we try to avoid. The information was later reported by ABC and ESPN, which we consider reliable, so it was added back to the article. I hope this explains things.

Linking to redirects[edit]

Hey there. I see that you keep changing a link to the actual article, into a redirect of the same article. An example is this: you changed the link to NBA records, which is a redirect. Why do you this? Thanks. ^{Dieter Lloyd Wexler} 07:17, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Dieter Lloyd WexlerHi Dieter, i thought it was easier on the eyes as just NBA records. I am indifferent.

Drmies (talk) 16:18, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm placing this link here for the record--this is the conversation that led to the CU investigation. The User:WellNiceToSeeYou account was created last week and immediately went after User:NamanNomad by gutting Jacqueline Newman (lawyer); NamanNomad created that article, and had tagged BeFriendly's article James Sexton (attorney) for a COI--a COI which BeFriendly seems to deny. BeFriendly has already been hounding User:Beccaynr, and just couldn't stop with that behavior. In sum, the user is CU-blocked, but other reasons for the block are suspected undeclared COI/paid editing, hounding, harassment, edit warring, a lack of good faith and insults ([1]), and vindictive tagging. Drmies (talk) 17:12, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Jacqueline Newman (lawyer)'s page was composed of nothing but primary sources at the time, so I removed them (mimicking Beccanyr's behavior on my now deleted pages which seemed to be policy) and added the tag which pushed it to draft space (where it should've been). A day after my edits were undone on Jacqueline's article, User Ipigott re-added the primary tag. A quick google search revealed Jacqueline Newman was not more notable than James Sexton (attorney) or Lisa Helfend Meyer, which led me to do that after our lengthy AfD "non"-war and following Beccanyr's grudge attacks (I did not realize someone interacting with me on AfD was allowed to simultaneously heavily edit my other articles). Jacqueline Newman (lawyer)'s page was nominated for deletion by User Kj cheetham two days later. I do not condone Wikipedia:WikiVampire behavior. Is there anything I can say to ever gain the privilege to edit again? I was planning on creating at least 30 "sports-related" Wikipedia pages, all of which have no questionable COI. There are numerous sports-related articles that require constant monitoring. I can promise to never create a BLP or Company article again or edit them? Is there anything I can say to ever change this decision? BeFriendlyGoodSir (talk) 18:58, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am sorry for saying what you saw as an insult. I realize that was not appropriate, but I can't go back and re-do it. It was the first time my article was in AfD and I did not understand it at the time. I removed it a couple minutes after posting it. BeFriendlyGoodSir (talk) 19:23, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In that moment, I thought Beccanyr Bit the newcomer a bit too fast and hard. Now I recognize I can only blame myself... I was creating a new account to get a fresh start because I did not agree with the harassment and the unjust persecution at the time (now i know this is the only account I can have). Please be nice to other beginners, otherwise they will consider running like me. BeFriendlyGoodSir (talk) 22:25, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who accepted the request.

BeFriendlyGoodSir (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

Per Drmies, above and after having read Wikipedia:Guide to appealing blocks, I think there are some misunderstandings of intention, as well as poor judgement, bad impulse control, or otherwise unacceptable interpretation of policy on my part. As per Wikipedia:Guide to appealing blocks, I understand what I have been blocked for, some speculations made are inaccurate however. I am offering a plan to make sure that I will not cause any more problems.. and I will continue to make productive contributions instead. I would like to dedicate all my time to creating countless sports-related articles as shown on my User page and continue improving sports-related pages which require constant updates and surveillance. A big problem I want to address is fixing the non-existence of WNBA articles which exist for their NBA counterpart I have not received any compensation for my contributions and my intent has always been to add value to the Wikipedia community. I will commit to disclosing WP:Conflict of interest. I am open to any restrictions (e.g., avoiding BLP or company page creations) you would like to place on me (WP:1RR restriction), or a short-term (month long) ban. I realize the administrators are all volunteers (thank you for contributions), and am also aware of the huge queue of unblock requests. This is my first time going through this process, and I hope I am given a second chance. I should note that I was never given a warning about any perceived wrongdoings prior to the block that I could apply to future Wikipedia endeavors. After looking back on this, I know I have learned valuable lessons in how to change my approach to meet proper etiquette and policy standards. Thank you for kindly reconsidering my account status per Wikipedia:Give 'em enough rope, per WP:grew up and understand rules, and I am committed to upholding the integrity and policies of Wikipedia in my future contributions. I will patiently wait my turn. Thank you and can't wait to redeem myself, :) BeFriendlyGoodSir (talk) 3:19 pm, 6 January 2024, Saturday (15 days ago) (UTC−5)

Unblock after discussing with blocking admin per special:permalink/1197748403#January 2024 and special:permalink/1197748403#Message to Self. Welcome back-- Deepfriedokra (talk) 21:38, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not going to decide on unblocking you; I will leave that to another admin. And it doesn't need to be another CU: you yourself admitted to having created another account. But that account, you seemed to justify that by invoking WP:CLEANSTART, which is moot since you used it to edit an article written by someone who had tagged one of your articles, and in the exact same way you edited other articles--and, as you say, in the same way--you claim--someone else edited yours--that someone else being another editor you were in conflict with. In other words, you violated the letter and the spirit of CLEANSTART.
The bigger thing I see here is that first you blame others and in a fit of rage claim you were "triggered", etc., an outburst just like that one on the Ulike AfD, and then you flip 180 degrees and we get a "mea culpa" unblock request. What this suggests to me is you might not have the temperament to edit here, by which I mean that your comments suggest you have a temperament, a mood, which can swing from one moment to the next. That is not conducive to work in a collaborative environment. I'm saying this not to inform any admin who looks at your unblock request (they are likely to see the same thing I see), but to tell you how your edits and comments can be received by other people. All the best, Drmies (talk) 23:11, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Drmies (talk), again, I apologize for causing any distress. Seeing 100 hours of my work go to waste in what felt like a mere instant was hard to digest (and the first time I experienced it). I am a self-professed inclusionist, and Beccanyr and you seem to lean towards the side of deletionism (which is reasonable) but they are no doubt opposing views. This juxtaposition was the cause of any pain inflicted on me. I will be better at accepting vast removals of content in the future if I am allowed to participate again. I want to emphasize that I have never been in a conflict once on a sports-related page (where I spent the majority of my time). In my view, Wikipedia will be missing out on a very constructive editor for decades to come if they pass up on me. I hope I can gain your trust again. I promise you won't regret the decision. All the best, BeFriendlyGoodSir (talk) 00:51, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well, you're saying some of the right things, and again you removed some of the wrong things, so that's good. If I had to give you advice I'd say to step back and not edit any time you feel you want to say something, but to think about what you want to say. Then you might not have the comments where you're blaming others. Just to reiterate what I think you should consider: Beccanyr was correct in her edits and her comments, as were others, and you are NOT a newbie, so BITE just really isn't a good thing to throw around. I don't know if I'm a deletionist; I don't think your guy should be deleted--Sexton, right? but that article needs pruning. I also don't think the article that you gutted under your account was particularly good, not at all, not when you ran into it--but (and I think you know this, or know this now) it probably shouldn't have been you to start pruning that, not in that way, not with that other editor as the creator. It just suggests retaliation. And of course the more personal comments--we can't have that. Just leave this be for a while. Do something else. Think about the reason for your block (which is NOT just/necessarily edits you made--the first cause is the illegitimate alternate account), and the critique you've heard on articles, and at that AfD. I took you to task for sources in that AfD; study sources and our requirement. Then formulate an unblock request. Don't blame others--no admin likes that--and focus on what you can contribute and what you have learned or are willing to learn. That's the way forward. Good luck, Drmies (talk) 01:51, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:Deepfriedokra, I'm fine with whatever you are fine with. I don't think they need to rephrase again what we already told them: they either get it or they don't, and they'll show it in their actions and interactions. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 14:35, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:Deepfriedokra, Rules to follow: no illegitimate accounts, avoid edit warring/hounding, no social media links to support my writing (only WP:RS). Thank you for your consideration. - BeFriendlyGoodSir (talk) 19:59, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 21:32, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:Deepfriedokra, Wonderful! Thank you @Deepfriedokra:. I am thrilled to be welcomed back. I just tried to edit List of Major League Baseball single-game home run leaders but I am still not allowed. Assuming it takes a while to register in the system that I am now unblocked? The IP address was also blocked. All the best, - BeFriendlyGoodSir (talk) 21:58, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:Deepfriedokra, My IP address is still blocked due to the CU hardblock. The block expires July 5, 2024. Do I have to wait until then? Thank you, BeFriendlyGoodSir (talk) 05:16, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

To ensure that you have effectively pinged Deepfriedokra, you may wish to review Help:Notifications, and generally, the Talk page guidelines, including the Editing own comments section, to help improve communication. While I'm here, and because you seem open to feedback, I also encourage you to improve your citation formatting with the RefToolbar feature - this is described in more detail here, and examples of what the output looks like can be seen in expansions I made in the Sexton article, e.g. [2], [3], [4], [5]. Cheers, Beccaynr (talk) 03:42, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Beccaynr: Thank you for sharing. I will review the RefToolbar feature when I have a chance. Let you know if I have any questions. Kindest regards, BeFriendlyGoodSir (talk) 04:09, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Drmiess: Sorry to ping you back, but I can't seem to fully unblock. @BeFriendlyGoodSir: Meanwhile, you might need to log out, wait 24 hours, and then log back in to get the system to forget to block you. Hope that helps.-- Deepfriedokra (talk) 06:26, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Drmies: Sorry to bother again but unfortunately I am still unable to edit because the IP address was also blocked. Looks like I can't edit until July 5, 2024 unless it is reversed? I think {User:Deepfriedokra was trying to unblock the IP address but he is not sure how to do it. Thank you either way, BeFriendlyGoodSir (talk) 21:53, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

(DFO frowns) You should be able to edit logged in. You should not try to edit logged out. If you try to edit logged out, it reblocks you. Checkuser needed to see that which I cannot see. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 23:37, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Deepfriedokra:, I cannot edit logged in or logged out at this particular IP address (where I always edit). I have not tried to edit logged out. -- BeFriendlyGoodSir (talk) 23:48, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

(Frown deepens) You should not be editing logged out. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 23:51, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have not edited outside Talk Page since January 5. I was never unblocked. I can probably edit from another IP address but this is the only IP address I use. Should I send out an IP unblock request? I'll stand by, thank you and sorry this is such a hassle, -- BeFriendlyGoodSir (talk) 23:53, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

OK, try again. Drmies (talk) 01:57, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I can edit again, thank you very much! BeFriendlyGoodSir (talk) 02:46, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

James Sexton (attorney) moved to draftspace[edit]

Thanks for your contributions to James Sexton (attorney). Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it has no sources, it is promotional and reads like an advertisement and Article is an advert from a CU blocked editor. References are a complete mess. It has very significant problems that have not been addressed in the previous draft-mainspace release cycle. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. scope_creep^Talk 22:04, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sam Tallent moved to draftspace[edit]

Thanks for your contributions to Sam Tallent. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability and Article has very significant problems sourcing for an effective WP:BLP. Article is essentially using social media to support references with 33 of 50 being non-rs social media links. This is entirely unsuitable for a mainspace article. . I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. scope_creep^Talk 22:12, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

New NBA Records to consider adding

Victor Wembanyama became youngest Center to record a triple-double, and youngest (any position) to do so without a turnover (needs to be added to NBA records page)

On December 25, 2023, Luka Dončić became the first player with at least 50 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 blocks, 2 steals in a game. He posted 14 assists and 4 steals vs the Phoenix Suns.^[1]
On January 9, 2024, coach Erik Spoelstra agreed to an 8-year-$120 million contract extension, the most committed money in both NBA and North American coaching history.^[2]
On January 10, 2024, Victor Wembanyama became the youngest center in NBA history to record a triple-double and the youngest player post it without any turnovers (at 20 years and 6 days), passing Andre Iguodala, who achieved at 21 years old back in 2005. He recorded his career triple-double with 16 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists in 21 minutes action, making him the 2nd player in NBA history to record it with fewer than 22 minutes, just 1-minute shy closer to Russell Westbrook, who did it in 20 minutes play back in 2014. Wembanyama did it in a winning effort, 130-108 against the Detroit Pistons.^[3]

Deletion discussion about Los Angeles Clippers accomplishments and records[edit]

Hello BeFriendlyGoodSir, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

While your contributions are appreciated, I wanted to let you know that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, Los Angeles Clippers accomplishments and records, should be deleted, as I am not sure that it is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia in its current form. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Los Angeles Clippers accomplishments and records.

Deletion discussions usually run for seven days and are not votes. Our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. The most common issue in these discussions is notability, but it's not the only aspect that may be discussed; read the nomination and any other comments carefully before you contribute to the discussion. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

Ping[edit]

Hi there. FYI, your attempt to ping me at WT:CBBALL didn't work because it requires that you sign your post at the same time; the ping can't just be added after the fact. You can refer to Help:Fixing failed pings. Regards.—Bagumba (talk) 07:32, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, BeFriendlyGoodSir. Thank you for your work on Margin of victory. North8000, while examining this page as a part of our page curation process, had the following comments:

IMO does not meet wp:notability.....there is not coverage of the topic per se, and the article really doesn't cover the topic per se. Perhaps it should be converted to a list of the most lopsided scores in US professional sports, which is what the contents of the article actually is.

North8000 (talk) 18:30, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Good suggestion. I agree with the rename. Should meet notability under the new name? Thanks -BeFriendlyGoodSir (talk) 21:15, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It needs a rewrite with less details on each record but more records listed across different sports. I still think it is notable… - BeFriendlyGoodSir (talk) 21:59, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of List of the most lopsided scores in US professional sports[edit]

The page List of the most lopsided scores in US professional sports has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done under section R2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it was a redirect from the article namespace to a different namespace except the Category, Template, Wikipedia, Help, or Portal namespaces.

Please do not recreate the material without addressing these concerns, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If you think this page should not have been deleted for this reason, you may contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you may open a discussion at Wikipedia:Deletion review.

Stop![edit]

Hello, BeFriendlyGoodSir,

Why are you moving all of these drafts to main space and then turning them into redirects? If they are redirects, they don't need to be drafts. This is nuts, you are creating about a hundred unnecessary pages. If you want a "reasonable" redirect then create one but there is no reason to go through draft space. And I'm sure 90% of these redirects could be nominated for deletion at WP:RFD. I think you have created more than enough today and should just stop and take a break and do something else with your time here. This is almost becoming disruptive. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 04:47, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Liz, Sorry Liz, I thought that was the way to create a redirect...I seriously do not know how to create a "reasonable" redirect without bothering you? This is my first time trying a redirect and I was told NBA-related redirects were helpful per WP:Concise and {{R from initialism}}, My apologies again. Once I understand the correct techinique, I will do it the other way... - BeFriendlyGoodSir (talk) 04:53, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
