NBA trades

edit

Please do not remove conditions of future traded picks or paste in copied text that makes it harder for the casual reader to understand the information. Clarity and ease of understanding are both more important than technical details.

There's a WP:something about not pasting text. G. Timothy Walton (talk) 20:36, 28 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

NBA free agent signings

edit

The official press release of a player's signing, etc. is preferred to the NBA Transactions for both citation and date that a player was signed. Please consult earlier wiki NBA Transactions articles for the standard of how things have been done for years. G. Timothy Walton (talk) 21:28, 28 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

NBA Exhibit 10 Contracts

edit

Please read the NBA salary cap article for the explanation of Exhibit 10 contracts. Exhibit 10 is a contract clause, not a separate type of contract like two-way players have.

Such signings belong in the Free agents table, just as training camp scubs do. G. Timothy Walton (talk) 01:21, 29 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

NBA free agents

To be civil, your work makes it harder to read the information on the page and has introduced numerous errors, only some of which you have corrected.

Wikipedia is meant to be coöperative, not your personal domain. If your work is actually making it worse, other editors will revert it. G. Timothy Walton (talk) 20:55, 3 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

If you want to denote players' level of contract guarantee, try using shared footnotes instead - they're less distracting or eye-searing than colours and can be hovered over rather than requiring a scroll up to the legend at the top of the table and they'd allow a wider range of detail.
Seriously, the teal background colour is eye-searing even with my monitor set at 50% brightness. G. Timothy Walton (talk) 21:03, 3 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

Your recent editing history at List of 2020–21 NBA season transactions shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Hello Pifas225. You've been reported for edit warring on List of 2020–21 NBA season transactions. There may still be time for you to avoid a block if you respond to the complaint. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 22:34, 4 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
 
You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.
During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.
If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

per a complaint at the edit warring noticeboard. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 19:29, 5 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
