Hilliard Mixed Pairs

You recently created the article Hilliard Mixed Pairs. It seems like a decent start to an article, but it does not contain any third-party sources. Sources that are unaffiliated with the subject of the article are required in order to verify that the subject is notable. If this cannot be established, it may be listed for deletion. It would be greatly appreciated if you could find some reliable sources to back up your article. Thanks. Jujutacular ^talk 19:03, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

Elvin Hayes

Hi. I found that out when I was researching one of Art Williams's two 22 assist games - the two events happened in the same game. You can see more about it at the list of National Basketball Association players with most assists in a game. I obtained the info from a local newspaper, most likely the Arizona Republic, or possibly a San Diego newspaper, but I cannot recall with certainty.Hoops gza (talk) 23:53, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

I have figured out that I obtained Elvin Hayes's block info (as well as the Art Williams info) from the game story of the December 29, 1968 edition of The San Diego Union. What I typically do with my research from that time period is look through the local newspapers for each team involved (since there were so few national newspapers). I have never found a newspaper pre-1973-74 that published unofficial stats such as blocked shots within the box score itself. However, I have sometimes found them in the game stories. I think that you are much more likely to find these only for players who accumulated a notable amount of them, such as Elvin Hayes. I hope that this is helpful. Is there a list of particular games you are trying to research? What does your work consist of? By the way, just curious, how did you obtain a PDF of that Arizona Republic - did you scan it on a microfilm scanner?Hoops gza (talk) 23:04, 9 December 2012 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
