Response: How to Make County Maps edit

Glad to read you're interested in making maps. This has been an unofficial task of mine, and it initially started with just Arizona, but has moved onto other places. Also, I am no longer the only one doing these type of maps. User:Arkyan has went ahead and developed a script that reads U.S. Census geographical data and automatically generates map files. (read more at that bot page. By making the process automated, he has been able to make SVG maps for all counties in four or five states by now. The only downside to that is that the maps are based on data from the 2000 Census, and so don't reflect the most current boundaries of cities that have expanded in the past 7 years. This is fine for all of the maps for which the cities haven't grown, but areas which are expanding rapidly won't have the most current map data. This is why I have mainly stuck to larger urban areas that haven grown noticeably in the past near-decade.

Going back to your original question, though, to actually make the maps, I use data like the PDF files you found, and from there, I usually take a screenshot of the map, and then import that into Inkscape, which is a free SVG image-drawing program. The work is tedious, and Inkscape takes some getting used to, but the results are great and are usually the most up-to-date. If you're not willing to do that much work just for some boring grey maps, then I suggest just waiting until the ArkyBot gets to South Dakota maps, and it will be done for you, but if you would like to do it before then, or you wanted to make sure the most accurate reflections of the city borders are shown, then just download Inkscape and get tracing!

Good luck, and I hope that helped. Ixnayonthetimmay 00:33, 26 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

Interlinking players edit

Hi. You might already be aware of this, but for future reference, when a new (active) player makes his way onto one of the career leaderboards, could you please check to make sure that the player has a link on his personal article page that directs to the leaderboard?Hoops gza (talk) 11:10, 7 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

- Whoops, got it! I know I had gone through the turnovers leaders, but I must've missed Chauncey on the assists (?) either way, thanks the reminder!

No prob. By the way, if you want another thing to improve on the lists, you can make the players sortable by last name by entering their names in code like I've started on the scorers list.Hoops gza (talk) 15:32, 7 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

- Okay I see...what you mean. I was unsure what that syntax was for but now it makes much better sense, thanks again! (I'm obviously fairly new to this, not quite up to par w/ wiki-lingo haha).

Sure thing, I'll help you out by posting the code on the #1 player on each list for easier copy and paste editing.Hoops gza (talk) 15:49, 7 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

Dashes edit

I usually just copy and paste the long dash, which is this: –
I don't know what the normal key is to type it. Also, when you post comments, you should sign them with your signature. You do this by clicking "Sign your posts on talk pages" after you've finished typing out what you want to post. This is an option that appears below your post whenever you post, you just have to click on the link and it signs your user name for you.Hoops gza (talk) 04:54, 8 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

Wikipedia's guideline on dashes can be found here. It contains a link to a page that describes common input methods. When editing Wikipedia, you can also use the "edit tools", which look like this, but be sure to distinguish between the en dash and minus sign. —LOL T/C 13:40, 8 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

  • Thank you both for the advice. It's much appreciated. I'll get to work learning and practicing :-) Coulraphobic123 15:50, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

I forgot that this is the most common method of posting a long dash: —

You will have to look at this page's edit history to see the code that I posted. But I typically just copy and paste the long dash to avoid unnecessary code. Both methods will give the desired result.Hoops gza (talk) 07:27, 11 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

  • I see you went through the scoring page and started adding in the middle-length dashes for each season as well as using the new syntax for seasons...think you could edit it that way for the other stats pages I typically edit? I'm thinking of experimentally editing the seasons played for each player from instead of season-to-season, but go year-to-year (So for Kareem's seasons, instead of 1969–701974–75 and 1975–761988–89, switch it to 19691975 and 19751989). The links would still connect to the correct seasons, but this would lessen the clutter that all the dashes have. What do you (and anyone else) think of this? If you think I should do this, how would that change the "nbay" syntax? Coulraphobic123 (talk) 15:45, 11 December 2010 (UTC)Reply
    • Nevermind, I posted on the NBA Wiki Project[1] discussion board about all of the above and have since edited the leading scorers page in conjunction with the above pattern. I also posted something about the steals/blocks/turnovers pages. Tell me what you think! Coulraphobic123 (talk) 20:10, 11 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

I don't like that idea because it leaves certain things open to a lack of clarity. For instance, Elgin Baylor played only a few games in his last season before retiring, and they were all at the beginning of the season, so he was retired before the following calendar year began, yet this way of wording the years suggests that he played into the following year. It is better to have the full seasons listed.Hoops gza (talk) 03:47, 15 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

Your steals/blocks/turnovers clarification, on the other hand, adds clarity to the picture, so that is an improvement.Hoops gza (talk) 03:51, 15 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

  • Also, note on Elgin Baylor's stats, that his career ends at 1971 since he only played the first few games of the 1971-72 season, and if you click on the link, it takes you to that season.

Yes, but how will you know with other players in similiar situations? I was just providing a famous example. It's misleading to not post the whole season. This especially becomes a problem with players who were traded during the season.Hoops gza (talk) 04:03, 15 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

How will you know with other players in similar situations? Research the years. Actually, it is misleading to show the entire season. A casual reader will think that he retired in 1972, not 1971.—Chris!c/t 04:11, 15 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

Just so you know, I am doing the players seasonal stats for the 2010-11 Chicago Bulls season.User:PDTantisocial does the rest. Buster Seven Talk 13:04, 28 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

RE: edit

You did the first 6 Hawks season game logs? It'd be pretty awesome to have a game log for every team season, that would take a long-ass time though. I did one for the 1995–96 Chicago Bulls season. PDTantisocial (talk) 17:43, 28 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

Yes I did...it was the first six-ish Hawks seasons. It has just the scores though. I'd have to try to find more info to put in the leading scorer, rebounder, etc. Plus, some of the NBA teams' seasons don't even have pages on here yet. For now, I'm starting to work on the career post-season statistical leaders pages. Coulraphobic123 (talk) 20:56, 28 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

I have boldly made 2 changes. First, I change the link of Magic Johnson. I feel that it is simply easier to do that since Magic Johnson is his common name. Second, I think that there is no reason to split the parenthesis in cases where the year ranges aren't continuous. I went ahead and done them because they are straight forward and uncontroversial. Feel free to discuss here if you want. Cheers.—Chris!c/t 05:26, 30 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

I strongly disagree on both of these...much more so with the latter than the former. The reason I split the non-continuous seasons up is because they are inactive during those seasons, which means they didn't play during those seasons, which means there were no stats...so to say that Magic played for the Lakers from 1979-1995...it makes it look like he played for 16 straight years...but he didn't...and if he did, then his stats would be much higher. I figure since the statistics rely solely on games played (like also even if you ARE on a team and are injured and don't play, then the games you don't play in aren't included in their career stats in games played and it doesn't affect their averages)...then it actually makes MORE sense to not include the non-contiguous years because it shows they were flat out inactive and, technically, not really part of the "team" (although some may be under contract, there were no games played during these time spans shouldn't be included when recording career stats).
As for the Magic Johnson thing, although I did make the turnovers page from scratch, when I started maintaining these pages two years ago, all other statistic pages he's on, he was recorded as Earvin "Magic" Johnson, and actually today, this is how people are usually referring to him (if you notice on TV when he's working games they always introduce him as such and some, I think Michael Wilbon, even refers to him as just Earvin). His Wikipedia page, too, has Earvin "Magic" Johnson listed above his picture and that's how the article is introduced (also, if you just type in Earvin Johnson in the search box, it takes you right to Magic's page). I know he's known as Magic to most people...but I figure since this is a "professional" list, it should be written in full. If you look on other pages, you will fine Wayne "Tree" Rollins, Glenn "Doc" Rivers, and Tyrone "Muggsy" Bogues. I think I'm going to add in Mookie Blaylock's first name, too. Granted, Clyde Drexler is not going to be written as Clyde "The Glyde" Drexler because no one referred to him as just "The Glyde Drexler" unlike Magic Johnson or Tree Rollins. I appreciate your enthusiasm in keeping up-to-date on these pages and have noted your suggestions...but I'm going to revert the changes. Coulraphobic123 (talk) 05:39, 30 December 2010 (UTC)Reply
For the first change, I just think that it makes more sense to use their common name following to the existing Wikipedia naming convention. Maybe this needs some more discussion since this is very inconsistent throughout Wikipedia's NBA articles. As for the second change, I think you misunderstood what I am trying to do. I am just trying to remove the extra parenthesis used when the year ranges aren't continuous. So, for example, it changes from: Chicago Bulls (19841993), (19951998) to Chicago Bulls (19841993, 19951998). The player's inactive years are still shown. An extra parenthesis is not only unnecessary, but it could confuse readers that the two year ranges are somehow absolutely unrelated to each other—Chris!c/t 20:23, 30 December 2010 (UTC)Reply
Okay, yes I did misunderstand the parentheses thing...and I agree with you...so I'll go through and edit those. As for the Magic Johnson thing, I think more discussion would be beneficial, but for now I'm going to keep it as is along with Nate "Tiny" Archibald, Eric "Sleepy" Floyd, etc.

Friendly advice edit

Regarding this message, you should avoid using terms like "editor-in-chief" especially when talking to newcomers as it gives an impression that you are "owning" the article.—Chris!c/t 02:24, 5 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

Ahhh, okay thank you...I do need to read up more on rules like that. Is there a way we can partially protect that 3-point page? I requested it once on the protection page and didn't hear anything back and I know it will continue to see edits as Ray Allen gets closer to Reggie Miller's record. It just sucks when they only add on his makes and not his attempts or percentage change (when necessary). But thanks again for the info on owning an article.

List improvement edit

I have a suggestion, on lists such as steals, blocks and turnovers it's a bit confusing to list full career games for players who started their respective careers before these statistics were officially recorded. The per game averages listed do not match up with their career totals in the statistic and games played. It would be for the better if we changed the number of career games for these players to the number of games played while the statistic was officially recorded.Hoops gza (talk) 14:11, 18 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

List of National Basketball Association career steals leaders edit

Wrt your revert [2], please see Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lead section#First sentence, which suggests that if the page is a list, do not introduce the list as "This is a list of X" or "This list of Xs...". A clearer and more informative introduction to the list is better than verbatim repetition of the title.

Generic titles such as list titles should not be repeated verbatim in the first place, and where they naturally lend themselves to verbatim repetition in the lead, they still shouldn't be bolded since they are generic titles constructed by Wikipedians, not proper names of the topic.

As to your other revert, what exactly speaks against proper prose? --213.196.214.78 (talk) 23:35, 23 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

To answer your latter, I kept it in line with similar formatting on all other NBA regular season stats leaders pages that I regularly maintain. But the bolding thing I understand and will go through and edit those individually. Thank you! Coulraphobic123 (talk) 01:49, 24 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

Disambiguation link notification for August 21 edit

Hi. When you recently edited List of United States cities by population, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Georgia (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Lists of National Basketball Association career playoff leaders edit

Hello. I'm from Russian Wikipedia and I have a question to you as you are the only author of NBA-related lists. It is very easy to find out lists of 250 players on BasketballReference.com. However, I want to use shorter lists. I've already found short lists of carrier leaders (30 players) on nba.com (link), but I could not find short lists of play-off leaders. I think these lists should be somewhere I could not believe that main NBA site doesn't have play-off statistics at all. I was able to find out only this link with 2095 players (link). Recently, I found out short lists of 25 players on espn.go.com (link), but these are carrier leader as well. I will really appreciate if you could help me and give some links (preferably on nba.com) with play-off leaders lists, or give me the name of person who could help with this question. Thank you! SWAT-76 05:00, 27 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

Hello SWAT...is your goal to translate the current pages for playoff leaders to Russian for Russian Wiki? If so, then what is the matter with using the lists on basketballreference that list the top 250? I guess I don't understand what the difference is between using as your source a list of the top 250, the top 100, or the top 20. I mean if you plan to whittle the list down to only the top 15 for playoff career leaders, then I guess I'm not sure why you would want to use a shorter list as your source. I know on basketballreference you can also conduct your own custom searches for statistics (like you can do a search for all players who have scored more than 1,000 points in their playoff careers, for example). I'll do some searching around, but for now I'm just unsure what you mean by wanting to find shorter lists for sources? Thanks! Coulraphobic123 (talk) 19:15, 27 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
Hello again. The reason why I need these links is that I want to write featured lists for first two lines of Template:NBA statistical leaders. In Russian Wikipedia we have very strong criteria for such a lists. I mean if the reliable source has a list of 250 that means our list should contains 250 as well (not 25, or 50). 20 lists of 250 players is a very huge effort and don't forget that about third of players are still in so it would be very difficult to maintain these lists up to date. That why I want to find out reliable sources for short lists. For example, recently, I've written a ruwiki List of National Basketball Association players with 1000 games played, that contains 107 names while there are 250 names in the source (link) and I could not find a reliable source for 107 players yet. You said, that it is possible to choose lists on BasketballReference.com somehow. Could you please explain me how to do this on the example above (List of National Basketball Association players with 1000 games played). Thank you! SWAT-76 19:52, 28 July 2012 (UTC)Reply
Hello again! Sorry! So with the answer? Thank you! SWAT-76 19:35, 4 August 2012 (UTC)Reply
Hey sorry man, I was out of town for a few days. Try the following link. You can enter in certain parameters (like list players who have accumulated 15,000+ points and 5,000+ rebounds) and you'll come out with this: link. Coulraphobic123 (talk) 18:30, 4 August 2013 (UTC)Reply

Hello Coulraphobic. Somewhere along the line the stats got out of sequence with the source https://www.basketball-reference.com/leaders/ft_career.html As best as I can figure the following should be added:

Rank Name Total
13 Dan Issel* 6591
16 Julius Erving* 6256
19 Artis Gilmore* 6132
27 George Gervin* 5737
28 Rick Barry* 5713

...Since you seem to be the main editor of this page, I thought you might like to make the changes, as it is beyond my technical skills. Thank you for your good work on these pages. Cheers. Grahamboat (talk) 20:37, 2 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for the suggestion, I appreciate you making the suggestion instead of just redoing the page like others would have. The thing is that this list is just for NBA leaders in free throws, but the list you're looking at from basketball reference is for NBA and ABA combined. For the NBA statistical leaders categories, we do not take into account their ABA statistics...just when they were in the NBA. So the basketball-reference list that page references is the middle column in the link you provided...that's why the names in your chart are missing. Hope this makes sense and thanks again for showing interest in the NBA stats pages! Coulraphobic123 (talk) 19:25, 4 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

Combined Statistical Areas edit

Page 121 of the OMB MSA definitions is the start of the CSA definitions in terms of component MSAs and μSAs. Since we have the MSA and μSA charts updated with the 2020 numbers, it would be straightforward but rather tedious to assemble the CSA Census results. I can do that this weekend, but I wanted to check first if you were planning to update the CSA chart (or if you have a quicker method/source than just summing the component MSAs and μSAs in Excel). Thanks, Dralwik|Have a Chat 23:37, 8 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

I had originally planned to when the data was in an easier format. I've just been copying and pasting the chart HTML into word and then manually updating the populations from an Excel spreadsheet.

April 2022 edit

  You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Metropolitan statistical area. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Donald Albury 23:18, 2 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
