Vasileios Spanoulis

Someone with an anonymous IP is vandalizing the Vassilis Spanoulis page, I tried talking to them and they say "they are a Houston Rockets fan and that POS player will be vandalized." Anyway the person made an edit, and keeps reverting all edits back to their page. He deleted things saying they are not sourced, but I looked and everything he deleted is sourced. Anyway, I come into this AFTER this has gone on, I made some edits that were corrections to things I actually fixed, and this fool reverts back to his edit, nothing to do with edits I made (like I said in first place his "edit" is deleting sourced info he apparently does not want on there - from what I see anything that may makes Spanoulis look good), anyway what he is doing is because of this, if any new person comes in to edit the page their edit gets deleted, because he just reverts the page back to his edit. Like I corrected a team name and player height and made them to what they actually are and sourced this, this edit gets erased because he just reverts. Is there anyone that monitors the basketball sections for vandalizing from idiots like this? Ogmion Ogmios 13:45, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

I don't think so, not as far as the European players concern. Ask Dale Arnett, maybe he should know.--ArnoldPettybone (talk) 20:08, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Euroleague

Hello! Very good work! I hope you'll go on making articles about each year's Euroleague. - Sthenel 23:23, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

I'll do my best. I've already started the article about Euroleague 2005-06. But I don't have sources prior to 1992 and I love to see them in wikipedia. - Sthenel 23:33, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks! I have to make the articles about the groups etc. I think that the box should include all the competitions up to now instead of having two different boxes. - Sthenel 16:44, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

OK. But the links to each season in the article of Euroleague should be put to the years not in a separate link such as "details". - Sthenel 20:42, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Piraeus belongs to greater Athens. See Athens article. - Sthenel 10:47, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

In the articles FIBA European Champions Cup 1957-58 to FIBA European Champions Cup 1964-65 you use <small> for references, but you don't close the block with </small>, which effects (screws) the style on some parts of the articles. --Sporti 13:29, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Look at what I added here. --Sporti 16:29, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Aleksey Savrasenko

I removed it because he is not Greek, nor had he ever Greek citizenship, as far as I know. Where does it come from, that he is Greek?--Kostisl 22:31, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Phinehas edits

You recently moved Phinehas to Pinhas, and then copied and pasted the content from Pinhas to Pinhas (disambiguation), and the content from Phinehas, son of Eleazar to Pinhas. First of all, page moves must be done with the "move" button. This is so that the article history will remain intact. If the desired location for an article already contains content, you must request that an administrator perform the move.

The second issue with these moves is that you have moved the English version of פינחס to a Hebrew transliteration. Since Wikipedia is an English encyclopedia, English naming conventions are used when they are well-established. In the case of Biblical figures, the King James Bible is usually considered to be authoritative.

Please keep these rules in mind when making future edits. Also, please do not make any more edits to Pinhas or Pinhas (disambiguation) until the page histories have been repaired. --Eliyak T·C 22:31, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

From my talk page:

I couldn't move Pinhas to a new page because that page name already existed as a disambiguation page, only without the disambiguation title. secondly, I didn't know about the king James bible thing. agreed. thirdly, the idiot who revised my version now made the Pinhas son of Eleazar version unaccessible. I personally think that every individual should have he's own article, no matter how short it is. That the reason I'm doing all of this.--ArnoldPettybone 22:39, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

As I said above, when you cannot move a page yourself, you must ask an administrator to do it. Cutting & pasting is not an option. --Eliyak T·C 22:45, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Re: Real Madrid Baloncesto logo

The Fair Use rationale for the Real Madrid logo states that the logo must not be used in a decorative capacity. By using it on the FIBA European Champions' Cup pages, you are not using it Fairly, and as such you are breaching the copyright attached to the logo. Do not revert my edits again, or you will be reported. - PeeJay 23:49, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

However, the article is not exclusively about the Real Madrid Baloncesto team, and Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline recommends that logos only be used in educational articles about the entities the logos represent. Furthermore, a similarly-sized image of the flag of Spain would serve just as well. - PeeJay 00:19, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

But the Real Madrid logo doesn't illustrate the actual topic of the article. Sure, it illustrates who won the tournament, but it is decorative and serves no educational purpose. In actual fact, the logo does nothing to enhance the article. People are more likely to recognise the name "Real Madrid" than they are to recognise the logo. By the way, your comment about deleting flags is completely unfounded. Flags are not copyrightable, and are therefore not subject to Fair Use rules. The Real Madrid logos will not be reinstated to the articles, and that is final. Any action that goes against this will be reported. - PeeJay 00:45, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Oded Katash

I've (temporarily) removed him from List of people with heterochromia since no source indicating that he has the condition was provided. Do you have access to one? If so, please feel free to re-add him, with the source included this time. -Hit bull, win steak^(Moo!) 23:37, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Non-English sources are fine, as long as they meet WP:RS. Just make sure that you indicate whatever the native language is when you add it to the list. -Hit bull, win steak^(Moo!) 00:39, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Nice work. That should be just fine. -Hit bull, win steak^(Moo!) 01:16, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Alexander Volkov

Re your comments at Talk:Alexander Volkov (basketball): I was the one who started the article. All the Interwikis say that he played for Milan and Hapeol Holon, as does this page. Unfortunately, I don't have access to the main Eurobasket site, so I'd be interested in hearing which teams it says he actually played for. Thanks! Zagalejo 23:35, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Cool, thanks for the response. Zagalejo 00:37, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Mila Kunis

The NNDB doesn't qualify as a reliable source, as described at WP:RS. As such, I've re-removed Kunis from the list. We need something more along the lines of a newspaper/magazine article or an interview, like all the other people on the list. -Hit bull, win steak^(Moo!) 17:24, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Know anything about Dimitris Spanoulis?

His article is currently up for deletion. Since you seem to know about European basketball, it would be great if you could chime in. Zagalejo^ 01:51, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:FIBA 2002 logo.jpg

Thank you! Yes of course you can move it. Please could you give me a source to know when the competition changed each name? - Sthenel (talk) 18:06, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Alexander Gomelsky

Could you please bring a link to him being Jewish? Gomelsky might also be be a Belorussian surname, since Gomel is Belarus, or Russian noble (Like Gumilev for example. Also means from Gomel, but it's a Russian noble family). Alot say it so your probably right, but having a link about it would be needed. P.S. Please continue this conversation on the talk page of the article about him. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.177.138.204 (talk) 18:55, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

It wasn't I who removed the "Greek nationality" claim from this article, it was this person. I merely carried on from his version because no citations were present.

So in future, get your facts sorted...or you will be reported. hahaha --203.134.48.170 (talk) 02:36, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:SovietUnion-Israelbball79.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:SovietUnion-Israelbball79.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media 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 taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Melesse (talk) 00:32, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Core Schmore & More - Harringay Arena

Dear Arnold, Old chap, the idea of a Wikipedia article is to provide a readable and valuable info resource on its subject. The articles are not best used as places to just lob in bits of info and leave it at that. As you're clearly keen on including your table, might I at least suggest that you do a little work to position it within the article, explain what it is and connect it to the text. As it is, it's unconnected with the text and has no meaning. Wassay pardner? hjuk (talk) 23:23, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

I don't really see your point here...Its all explained in the box's wikilinks and references in the article itself. I can add a collapsible thingy, If it hurts your eyes so much...--ArnoldPettybone (talk) 16:25, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Brownsc (talk) 23:36, 16 December 2008 (UTC) p.s. I also find ancient Israel and the civilizations it interacted with to be very interesting.

What exactly do you need?--ArnoldPettybone (talk) 18:51, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

I've actually already gotten what I needed, but thanks anyway. Brownsc (talk) 12:36, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

Hapoel Tel Aviv

Yes, I can explain what the hell I am doing. Basically removing unnecessary information. Having a table of every game Hapoel has played in Europe is totally unnecessary, and adds nothing to the article. Notable European runs are covered in the text. It is not part of the Manual of Style for football club articles, and can you imagine listing every game Manchester United or Liverpool have played in their articles? пﮟოьεԻ 57 11:54, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

First of all, who are you do judge what is "necessary" or not and bluntly removing it without any further discussion? second, this table of info regarding European matches is common in most of the club pages I've seen here, plus a table of season by season performance which is not there at the moment, maybe I'll create one later.. When the article becomes too large, relevant seasons articled of the club are created. There aren't any at the moment and the article is pretty small and poor, so that's the way it is. And of course, having the squad updated to last July without any reference instead of referenced and updated to the present day, plus the domestic trophy list referenced, is the best way to keep and article up to date...you really don't have any clue on what you're doing, do you? P.S. it is common to continue the talk where created....--ArnoldPettybone (talk) 12:18, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

I've removed it again - it isn't part of the manual of style. If you want to include it, suggest it at WT:FOOTY. The fact that other articles are incorrectly using it is simply a case of WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS - plenty of football club articles use bold to list international players in their squad even though they aren't meant to.

In addition, please don't make WP:Personal attacks - claiming I don't have any clue what I'm doing is both dickish and wrong - I've been writing football club articles since 2005 and am a regular contributor to WP:FOOTY - I've written tens of articles on Israeli football clubs. Please grow up and try and debate with other editors without resorting to this kind of behaviour. пﮟოьεԻ 57 12:51, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

Writing articles since 2005 and still haven't figured out where to post user talks? whatever, man.--ArnoldPettybone (talk) 12:57, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Eleazar (son of Aminadab)

The article Eleazar (son of Aminadab) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Not notable, should be included in some sort of compilation of Hebrew Bible people, orphaned

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Speedy deletion nomination of List of Israeli football transfers winter 2010–11

A tag has been placed on List of Israeli football transfers winter 2010–11, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing no content to the reader. Please note that external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article don't count as content. Moreover, please add more verifiable sources, not only 3rd party sources. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content. You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, contest the deletion by clicking on the button that looks like this: which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the article's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. It appears to me that this article contains no content (nor sources or anything to support inclusion under WP:N, hence my nomination. Please do contest this nomination if you feel it is in error.

Hi. When changing a biography of a living person to say they are deceased, the burden is with you provide reliable sources to verify that. Thanks. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 18:41, 29 November 2018 (UTC)

Willie Simms (basketball, born 1969) moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Willie Simms (basketball, born 1969), is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Your draft article, Draft:Willie Simms (basketball, born 1969)

Hello, ArnoldPettybone. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Willie Simms".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 17:36, 24 October 2021 (UTC)

Question about edit from 14 years ago

Hello ArnoldPettybone,

I have a question on an edit you made ages ago, and it's nice to see you're still around and editing! Anyway, at the Battle of Beth Zur article, in this diff, you added some interesting numbers for the size of the Seleucid forces at Beth Zur. Can I ask where these came from? Hebrew Wikipedia's article, or a book, or anything like that? I recently rewrote a bunch of the article, and if there's a good source behind those estimates, I'd be happy to include them, but I just took them out recently because I wasn't sure where they were coming from. If you don't remember, that's totally fine of course, figured there's no harm in asking. SnowFire (talk) 19:36, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
