 * Thank you for the warm welcome! I really appreciate you reaching out. Looking forward to learning the ropes under your tutelage. Thank you also for providing resources to quickly learn and contribute! Thank you again! ApexMNF (talk) 02:33, 26 October 2021 (UTC)
 * I thought I would finally tell you that you are ridiculously obvious. I always recognize your accounts. And it's your fault. Your edit summaries and editing times always give you away. So you want to play this game? Let's play. After all, we've been playing for months now. 1.46.150.137 (talk) 04:59, 26 October 2021 (UTC)
 * I am not sure to what you are referring, but I think you have mistaken me for another user. I have just started editing and have never interacted with IP address. If I have done something incorrectly, I did not intend to do so. Please point me to the proper procedures and I will attempt to follow them. If you also could help with this, then I would be able to correctly go about contributing to Wikipedia.ApexMNF (talk) 04:06, 27 October 2021 (UTC)
 * The user seems to be referring to the policy against using multiple accounts. However, per the WP:NPA policy: Serious accusations require serious evidence, usually in the form of diffs and links. That user should be prepared to present this at WP:SPI, or otherwise not continue with such accusations. Regards.—Bagumba (talk) 04:43, 27 October 2021 (UTC)
 * thank you so much for the clarification and guidance. I only wish to contribute to Wikipedia in the way laid out by the policies and procedures. Thank you again, and I wish to continue learning from you.
 * First edit is to add over 1,000 characters using citation templates, when it's outside the realm of likeliness that novices to Wikipedia will know to use citation templates and how to use them. Makes more edits using citation templates. Suddenly stops using citation templates, like a true novice. For first post to a talk page, knows to indent and signs post, when a true novice wouldn't have known to do those things and wouldn't have done them. Replies to me using Template:Reply to while signing post and knows this feature will ping Baguma. What novice already knows about Template:Reply to? Pinging Baguma, bringing Baguma into this, was also ridiculously expected and obvious. But, sure, ApexMNF, you're a novice. I guess I should believe that now that you conveniently "forgot" to sign your post this time. Bagumba's response is noted. Whatever you, ApexMNF, say after this, you won't get another reply from me on this talk page. 1.46.5.114 (talk) 05:23, 30 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you for pointing that out. I think you continue to confuse me with someone else. The notion that there is only one learning curve that all new editors adhere to, is unreasonable. Each editor learns and grows in a different way. I have familiarized myself with basic policies prior to editing. Figuring out how to cite is not difficult for those who are familiar with basic computer knowledge. It is not difficult to find the citing function on the editing page when. Therefore, it is not outside the realm of likeliness for even a novice editor, who is adequately versed in computer technology, to be able to figure out how to cite. Furthermore, I have learned more about Wiki policies through the resources provided to me on my talkpage, thus the widely common Wikipedia procedures regarding signing and indenting were also not difficult to find. Again, I think you have me mistaken for someone else.ApexMNF (talk) 04:35, 3 November 2021 (UTC)

75th anniversary
Hi there. I saw your edit to Kawhi Leonard and others regarding the NBA 75. The mention of "75th anniversary" seems a bit redundant. Also, there was actually 76 players chosen (tie), not 75, but the technicalities are not worth mentioning in individual bios. Consider modifying to something like: In October 2021, as part of the NBA’s 75th Anniversary, Leonard was honored as one of the 75 league's greatest players of all time by being named to the NBA 75th Anniversary Team. Further details surrounding the anniversary season would still be available in the link, for those interested. Cheers.—Bagumba (talk) 04:00, 21 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Hello ! That makes much more sense! More succinct and efficient. I will implement your recommendations for the other 75th team members. I appreciate your guidance, thank you! ApexMNF (talk) 04:14, 21 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Hello ! Question regarding the player pages: Some players have a more robust page than others. For example, Larry Bird has a main summary section at the beginning and a "Player profile & legacy" subsection. Both sections include similar information, for example the all-time team achievement. Would you suggest to keep the same information in both sections? Thank you! ApexMNF (talk) 04:01, 24 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I missed seeing this. I was here to nudge you about using bare urls (but some reference is better than no references). Regarding your original question, if you are referring to the lead, MOS:BLPLEAD says it should summarize their life.  Anniversary teams seem pretty major and worth mention in the lead. Per MOS:LEADREL: Significant information should not appear in the lead if it is not covered in the remainder of the article ..., so repeating is generally accepted in the case of the lead.—Bagumba (talk) 04:51, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
