Hi Getdagnis! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of Kristaps Porziņģis several times. The impulse to undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure you're aware that the edit warring policy disallows repeated reversions even if they are justifiable.

All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article talk pages to try to reach consensus. If you are unable to agree&#32;at, please use one of the dispute resolution options to seek input from others. Using this approach instead of reverting can help you avoid getting drawn into an edit war. Thank you. Drowssap SMM  16:51, 25 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Ok. Got it. Reversed my latest edit after reading this. It makes no sense that his height is mentioned to be 2.18m. None of the sources list his height below 2.20m. This 2.18m height from Wikipedia is also quoted on Google search but there's no source for that. It's just there because 7'2 is automatically converted to 2.18m by Wikipedia which is not his actual height. Getdagnis (talk) 17:25, 25 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Actually, Porzingis' official NBA profile currently has him listed at 7' 2", as does his Basketball-Reference page. While I disagree with the 7' 2" listing (he was measured at 7' 2¾" barefoot in 2019 and looked well over 5 inches taller than 6' 9" Al Horford), apparently an NBA player's official NBA profile has the highest priority regarding said player's measurements, hence his height had to be listed at 7' 2" and not 7' 3".

 * The issue is not with his measurement in feet and inches. To me, as an international it doesn't mean much what his height is listed in inches and rounding up to 7'2" seems legit. The problem is that when being quoted as 7'2" here on Wikpedia, his height is automatically translated to 2.18m in the metric system. And this is just wrong. There might be a reason to round up his height to 7'2" but there's absolutely no rational reason to change his height from 2.20m to 2.18m in the metric system. It simply doesn't make sense to reduce his height that way. I've followed KP a long time and he crossed that 2.20m mark at around the age of 16, he's listed as 2.21m on FIBA.com, so it's an important thing when it comes to his height. He's not 2.18m as the Wikipedia article right now quotes, and Google search also lists him as 2.18m only because of this error in this article Getdagnis (talk) 11:58, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
