Good job fixing the intro in the Dwyane Wade article. --Jaranda wat's sup 19:27, 11 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

Why are you always on Wikipedia, and why do you proclaim yourself GOD of the freaking kobe bryant page?

edit

It's annoying, stop trolling the kobe bryant page like you own it. Fact is, you don't. Stop changing small sh*t every two seconds because you don't like grammar and other smart changes others have done. That is all.

Please use preview

edit

It is recommended that you use the preview button before you save; this helps you find any errors you have made, and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history. Happy editing! howcheng [ t • c • w • e ] 00:22, 15 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

==Please Use Edit Summaries==

When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labelled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

 

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

When you leave the edit summary blank, some of your edits could be mistaken for vandalism and may be reverted, so please always briefly summarize your edits, especially when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you.

Please use preview ... again

edit

To reiterate what has already been said ... You've made six changes to Dirk Nowitzki in the last seven minutes, each time leaving the edit summary blank. When I see a user change a minor stat, such as his field goals, from 100 to 150 to 151 without providing edit summaries, my immediate reaction is "VANDALISM!" I'm quite certain your edits are not vandalism, but it is quite frustrating when you repeatedly make insignificant changes with no edit summaries and without marking them as "minor edits." Please always use edit summaries and Use The Preview Button before saving. Thanks AmiDaniel (Talk) 07:00, 24 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

No problem. Sorry about being so blunt--it's late, and I'm tired. Wikipedia really is full of very friendly people, and I'm usually one of them; it just seems, from looking at your talk page, that you've only had encounters with pissed off Wikipedians in the past. I'm sure it's not your fault, and please don't take it personally. You're definitely welcome here, and please keep up the good work. AmiDaniel (Talk) 07:11, 24 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

Date Article

edit

With regard to Kobe Bryant's achievement in January rating inclusion in the date article for January 22nd, I disagree. It may have been the most notable sports achievement for the year, but that's not what's important. It's not a first, it doesn't have any impact on the world, etc. It would be great to include this in an article about January 22, 2006 - but not in a January 22 article. Note that many years have no events to mark them at all on a given date. Please reconsider posting this event in the January 22 article. Rklawton 16:08, 24 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

Quick FYI

edit

This was mentioned in the edit summaries when the scoring avg record was first removed, but of course that's easy to miss, so thought I'd let you know here this time, also: regarding the records listed on the Kobe Bryant page . . . Elgin's 38.3 avg in '62 does count, despite what the basketball reference link says. The official NBA standard is either 70 games played or 1,400 points. Elgin's '61-'62 makes the cut under the latter criterion.[1]

Career achievements of Wilt Chamberlain

edit

Sorry -- didn't mean to clobber your edit. But I do need to double-check your entry since I've seen 31 cited before for MJ's 50+ pt games in several places. We do need to identify the correct value. Myasuda 18:56, 24 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Okay, thanks for the correction on MJ's 40+ point games -- I'll update it to 173. I will stick with 31 for MJ's 50+ point games (see [2]); I've never seen 30 cited elsewhere, and various Google searches only retrieved references to 31. I do appreciate your fact-checking!

Personal knowledge

edit

Hey MCDRLx, just wanted to comment on your changes to Los Osos High School‎. I see one of the edit summaries refers to "personal knowledge" as the source for some information. I'm sure what you've written is true (you'd know better than I do, since you went to the school!), but you're not supposed to use personal knowledge as the basis for adding stuff to the encyclopedia. You're supposed to use verifiable, reliable sources. Hope that helps! :) Somno (talk) 23:49, 21 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

ArbCom elections are now open!

edit

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.
