July 2018
Hello, I'm Bagumba. Your recent edit to the page Luc Mbah a Moute appears to have added premature information about a reported sports transaction, so it has been removed for now. The transaction is based on anonymous sources and/or awaiting an official announcement. If you believe the transaction has been completed, please cite a reliable source or discuss your change on the article's talk page. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. —Bagumba (talk) 01:04, 10 July 2018 (UTC)

Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to James Ennis (basketball). Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Reportedly signing based off of anonymous sources is not the same as actually signing. —Bagumba (talk) 06:09, 12 July 2018 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at James Ennis (basketball). —Bagumba (talk) 00:40, 14 July 2018 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you violate Wikipedia's no original research policy by inserting unpublished information or your personal analysis into an article, as you did at Carmelo Anthony. ''The cited source only says "Melo is expected to be bought out ..." That is not completed.'' —Bagumba (talk) 16:59, 27 July 2018 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 31 hours for persistently adding unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at Carmelo Anthony.

Recent edit to Jerry West
Welcome, and thank you for your attempt to lighten up Wikipedia. However, this is an encyclopedia and the articles are intended to be serious, so please don't make joke edits as you did to Jerry West. Readers looking for accurate information will not find them amusing. If you'd like to experiment with editing, try the sandbox, where you are given a good deal of freedom in what you write. Thank you! SamCordes (talk) 06:30, 21 December 2018 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Lonzo Ball, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Specifically per MOS:SURNAME, can generally refer to a person by their surname after its first mention. —Bagumba (talk) 05:39, 15 May 2019 (UTC)
