My recent great edits on the Kobe article
It looks a lot better now doesn't it?? =) Instead of having a few sentences for his three titles. Not trying to brag here, but it looks amazing imo. Hganesan 18:53, 14 June 2006 (UTC)hganesan

Thanks for the compliment, but maybe you should stop criticizing my behavior no matter how good it is and no matter how great my posts are. What do you call this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kobe_Bryant&diff=58657199&oldid=58653661 http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kobe_Bryant&diff=58644758&oldid=58641908

I never did something like that on an article.

Kobe Pic
Hi I have a kobe pic from the lakers suns game 2 of the 1st round. Can you help me as to how I copyright tag it?? The link is: http://www.latimes.com/media/photo/2006-04/23141787.jpg So it is from the LA times Also the pic came from http://www.martinirepublic.com/item/the-story-in-pictures/

I am trying to copyright tag it but don't know how to do it? Maybe you can help? thanks.Hganesan 03:00, 16 May 2006 (UTC)hganesan

Hey so the LA Times would not allow us to use it?? You noted that if I can find a picture that the owner will let us use- so the LA Times wouldn't allow us to use it or something? If so, why not? What would be a hypothetical example of a pic that the owner will let us use? Like what type of pictures can we use? Hganesan 04:10, 16 May 2006 (UTC)hganesan

Like say the owner of a site like kobebryant8.net has a great pic of Kobe and allows me to use it if I ask him. Then I can use it and it will be allowed on wikipedia?Hganesan 04:15, 16 May 2006 (UTC)hganesan

http://www.latimes.com/broadband/la-0429weekinphotos-pg,1,5019998.photogallery?coll=la-headlines-broadband&index=2 Like the picture is right there on latimes, so I would have to ask Robert Gauthier to get the picture on wikipedia? Hganesan 04:32, 16 May 2006 (UTC)hganesan

What if, for example there is a picture on someone's website, or personal website. I would just have to ask the person who owns the site or page if I can use the pic right?? Not necessarily the official source from which the picture actuall came from or was taken from?Hganesan 06:08, 16 May 2006 (UTC)hganesan

Can you help me out here
I am getting angry because all these Steve Nash fans are refusing to let me put up key stats like he is the only player in the category to not have a championship and average under 15 pts per game in his CAREER. Those are pretty standard stats I would think. Furthermore, every time i write something in the edit summary people are accusing me of being obnoxious, and I have contributed a whole lot here and stopped attacking other members. I am tired of this, I compromise with Nash fans and now still they are trying to remove everything I wrote, EXCEPT keep the 11th player in NBA history to win multiple MVPs that I WROTE. And now they are threatening to report me to admins. I have not done anything wrong though. Hganesan 20:59, 14 May 2006 (UTC)hganesan

I'm just trying to keep it real
That is why i wrote in caps and things like that, because I was trying to keep it real. People are deleting facts. hganesan

Ok I understand I will use less caps. I remember you wrote kobe is one of the better defenders in the league and changed it after I wrote he was one of the best. Well people have kept on deleting it, and now he has just been named to All NBA first team defensively. I am not deleting any of the criticism written about kobe on the page, I am just adding facts like career stats and that many thought he should be MVP or close.

It was surprising to everyone that nash won by such a wide margin, and people are deleting it, Then I post facts about nash being the only back to back mvp to not have won a championship and average under 20 ppg both seasons, then people are telling me to stop with anti-nash agenda. They can post facts like that which make nash look good if they can find them, and they should not be deleting this stuff.

But I am cutting down on attacking others who edit my posts.

Sorry
Those additions I made for the Hack-a-Shaq were largely from memory; I recall reading a couple of newspaper articles about it. One was about a shooting coach and another was about the end of Hack-a-Shaq. I am sure they are definitely true, but I can't recall any specifics; I was hoping someone else would know and could cite and verify what I wrote down. - Hbdragon88 23:28, 15 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Nah, I think you're good. I have an awful memory for exact pinpoint dating, and if the stats say 2004 was his worst year, then my memory is off, and the quotes should be adjusted like so.  Good work on researching Hack-a-Shaq. - Hbdragon88 09:28, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

sports wiki
Hi:

I noticed you were active on many sports pages on Wikipedia. My friends and are I starting a sports wiki that you may be interested in. It uses Wikipedia's software but we made a lot of technological improvements to allow for more news and opinion articles, as well as regular encyclopedic entries. If you're interested, contact me and I'll give you the URL.--DNL 00:29, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Good to see your interested. Please follow this link.  Thanks! --DNL 02:04, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

Forum vs. Great Western Forum
I know that the building is now known simply as "The Forum" or the "L.A. Forum" NOW, but it was known as the "Great Western Forum" when the Lakers were playing there. So "Great Western Forum" be listed instead of "The Forum" as a historical name, just like The Mecca in Milwaukee, (now US Cellular Arena). Moreover, there was another "Forum" in the sports landscape for many years (the Montreal Forum), so it might be advantageous to distinguish the Great Western Forum with the Montreal Forum. Dknights411 00:04, 27 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Wow, I did not know THAT. I'm from Montreal myself (living in San Antonio now), so "The Forum" to me means the Montreal Forum.  Perhaps "Great Western Forum" can be used as an AKA type thing.  BTW, where did the name originally come from?  I've always wanted to know.  Thanks for the info.

Request for edit summary
Hi. I am a bot, and I am writing to you with a request. I would like to ask you, if possible, to use edit summaries a bit more often when you contribute. The reason an edit summary is important is because it allows your fellow contributors to understand what you changed; you can think of it as the "Subject:" line in an email. For your information, your current edit summary usage is 14% for major edits and 100% for minor edits. (Based on the last 150 major and 6 minor edits in the article namespace.)

This is just a suggestion, and I hope that I did not appear impolite. You do not need to reply to this message, but if you would like to give me feedback, you can do so at the feedback page. Thank you, and happy edits, Mathbot 09:00, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

STAPLES?
Hi. Me again! I noticed that you moved 'Staples Center' to 'STAPLES Center' because that's the official rendering on their websites. However, just because the official title is in all caps, doesn't nessecarily mean that it has to be all caps here on wikipedia. Take the the "Miami Heat" for example. The Miami Heat are offically the Miami "HEAT" on thier websites, but the name is rendered "Heat" when it is referenced in stories and in the media. Than same is true with the Staples Center. Maybe we should use the correct media style guide, not the "official" guideline. Plus IMHO, all caps is bordering in on POV, but that's just me. Dknights411 16:52, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

"Nessun Dorma" is a song
Hi,

thanks for your comment in the signature song article. It seems, then, that the word "song" in English is not the equivalent of "canzone" in Italian, as I thought. If someone in Italy says "Nessun dorma" is a canzone then he literally makes anyone laugh. The most appropriate Italian term is "aria", which nobody sees as hyponym of "canzone". I think this is a "trap" for most Italians and we risk that every now and then someone will remove "Nessun Dorma" from the list. Maybe we could add a note about the very wide meaning of "song" in English? (It occurs to me that "piece" would not have this drawback, but then someone could wonder why it is named "signature song" rather than "signature piece" :)) --Gennaro Prota 20:41, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

Kobe Bryant
Hello : ) Thanks for providing the citations for Kobe Bryant so quickly. Your re-wording was fine with me, too. I'm concerned by the number of images in this article. I don't think we can claim fair use for this many images. Fair use is suppose to be used when an image is the only one available to illustrate something significant. So having more than one fair use image gets problematic because the first image used makes the rest outside of allowed usage. Could you look at the article and see which ones absolutely need to stay to illustrate something significant? Then could you remove the rest. thanks, FloNight   talk  00:19, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I haven't forgotten about the images. I'm going to get a second opinion on the poster images. Not sure they can be used this way. I know news photograph images can be used this way. I think posters imaages are suppose to be treated like magazine covers and works of art. Fair use requires them to be used in articles about them. FloNight   talk  02:23, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Signature songs (category)
Hi Mwelch,

what would you think about creating a "Signature songs" category, so that we can have a complete list there? This means if one wants a song listed there he has to add the tag to the relevant song article, and this spreads the "control" of the list across several articles and editors. Otherwise we (me and you) will keep seeming the bad ogres of the situation :)

Cheers, Gennaro Prota 08:57, 25 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Hi again,


 * have you seen what is currently happening to the signature song article? Any idea on how to cope with this quasi-vandalism? I had began to use a suitable category for signature songs, but then I stopped (and I should decide whether continuing or reverting) because I realized the category doesn't allow, as far as I know, to relate the song title to the corresponding singer. Is there any way to do this? — Gennaro Prota &#8226;Talk 10:57, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

AI Photo question
I'm lost. Exactly WHY is the AI Sports Illustrated cover a violation? Is it because the image is ONLY supposed to feature Sports Illustrated, and NOT Allen Iverson? It doesn;t seem like a violation to me. Dknights411 20:36, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Is THAT the requirement for fair use in this instance?!? Man, Wikipedia's fair use criteria is REALLY starting to get on my nerves.  I'm not blaming you or anything so don't think I'm angry at you, but I feel that Wikipedia is putting too many limits on fair use images.  It's kind of frustrating when Wikipedia puts limits on itself like this because it prevents this site from living up to its full potential.  It's kinda sad really.  Sorry, I had to rant there.  Hope you understand. Dknights411 22:18, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

User:Hganesan (yes, again)
After a succession of blocks by numerous admins over the last month, User:Hganesan has returned yet again to Steve Nash and Kobe Bryant. I don't want to waste a bunch of time edit warring with him again, so I'm instead going to try a new tactic. I'd like to get as many NBA editors as possible together on this, so that we can make a single unified push to the appropriate admins. I am at a loss for other tactics we can use to avoid his continued attempts to push his agenda and his unwillingness to compromise. Please contact me at User talk:Simishag if you're interested in helping out. Thanks. Simishag 23:31, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Episcopal High School
I noticed you removed a lot of content from that article. I agree with all of the removals except: "The creators of Packeteer, a network management program, mentioned Episcopal's network as an example of the strain placed on networks by peer-to-peer file sharing programs such as Napster; when usage of such programs strained the network, the school purchased a second T1 line and installed a program that curtails usage of peer-to-peer file sharing programs ."

I don't see a problem with mentioning this. WhisperToMe 22:55, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Apostrophe S
Just in regard to something I caught in the edit history of Michael Richards -- can I refer you to WP:MOS? There's very, very few names that fall into the "trailing apostrophe" style of possessive (the examples cited by MOS are Moses and Jesus, which are poor, but workable). Richards's is quite correct in this instance, and lobbing off the final S is really only appropriate for plurals. It's a common mistake. --JS talk 22:50, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Chamberlain article
I have no references on the game you asked about; in the Chamberlain article, I just cleaned up the writing a bit.--BillFlis 00:35, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Risk of losing both?
I respectfully disagree with your assertion that they could have kept Shaq for two more years, after he had publicly demanded a trade following the removal of Phil Jackson. Kobe, by opening disussions with the Clippers, made it clear that he could be gone if they did not move Shaq out. I think we agree on that. The fact that he signed days after the trade helps at least circumstantially. So then, we just have Shaq. Even had Kobe left, the loss of Phil Jackson, the lack of effort in re-signing Shaq, the bad-mouthing of him by management, and the already public demand for a trade (tough to recind such a public demand), means that he could likely have sat out until they traded him, leaving them with neither player.

It is just one comment in millions, and I do not feel so strongly that I will re-insert it, but I figure I at least give the reasoning behind the comment. CodeCarpenter 14:32, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

CodeCarpenter 13:37, 21 December 2006 (UTC) PS: I am new at this, but doesn't it drive people loopy that to follow a conversation that they have to jump back and forth between talk pages to follow a conversation? :) I am sure there is a logical reason for this format, but it escapes me...
 * I will give the counter-example of Alonzo Mourning, who sat out until released rather than play for the Raptors after forcing a trade away from the Nets. However, I accept your judgement that some players can get away with recinding a trade demand, and that the phrase is not needed, since it could still be implied that FA Kobe could have left anyway.

Boozer's birthplace
It appears you're correct about Carlos Boozer being born in Germany. Forgive me--I see sports articles vandalized so often that I incorrectly assumed someone was having a bit of fun by changing his birthplace. Although I believe the USA basketball site is correct about Boozer's birthplace, you

should be aware that some reliable online sources clearly list his birthplace as Alaska. His ESPN.com bio as well as his sports.yahoo.com profile say Juneau, Alaska. So there seems to be some false information floating around.--The Fat Man Who Never Came Back 12:49, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Latasha Harlins
All the other articles I've seen about child murders are listed under either the child's name (e.g. Jeffrey Baldwin) or the murderer's name (e.g. Robert Latimer), so I felt that Shooting of Latasha Harlins should be renamed Latasha Harlins for consistency.

I'm sure Trakakis will be very notable in a few years, but it might be a bit early now. I had seen him mentioned with Graham Oppy so much that I assumed they were colleagues, but Nick has just defended his Ph.D.!

I have wanted to fix it, but I'm not so competent in this field (although very interested and want to learn about both sides of the argument). Anyway, perhaps together we might be able to do something? I had quite a brutal plan in mind to almost delete everything there, except the history section, which I would integrate with the Buddhism/Hinduism, and then go for a very simple exposition. Basically the following outline: Something like this... --Merzul 22:25, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
 * 1) History of the problem + comparative religion stuff
 * 2) The logical argument from evil
 * 3) Bla, bla... about logical arguments, consistency etc... :)
 * 4) Mackie's argument
 * 5) Plantinga's refutation
 * 6) Contemporary discussion: Gale, Pruss?
 * 7) The evidential argument from evil
 * 8) William Rowe's formulation, especially the poor fawn
 * 9) The Free will defense
 * 10) The Soul-making theodicy
 * 11) The unknown purposes defense

In case you are able to find some obscure information about Nick Trakakis, then I'm starting it off in my user space, but as soon as it seems to be establishing notability, it should be moved.

Broadwater Farm
(Crossposted to assorted "people I've run into and whose opinions I respect")

I realise it's totally outside your field, but if you get the chance could you take a look at the article on Broadwater Farm I've recently created? I do think it deserves it's own article - yes, it might be most famous for events that happened 22 years ago, but having it as a redirect to Broadwater Farm riot seems to me as ludicrous as redirecting Germany to World War II or Northern Ireland to IRA. However, now I've set up incoming links it's likely to be a beacon for POV-pushing, so I'd like to get opinions on (a) what a NPOV will be on something like this where the two POVs are likely to be diametric opposites, (b) whether you think it can/will ever be stable (and whether it's worth trying to keep stable) and (c) how much of a focus ought to be on the riots as opposed to the place itself. If any of you feel the urge I'd also appreciate anyone who feels able/willing putting it on their watchlists, as I suspect it's going to be heavily vandalised & spammed —  irides centi   (talk to me!)  00:05, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

Hello,

I was looking at user's talk page who has engaged in self-promotion for what looks like to be years. In 2007, you warned this editor in a stern manner about creating non-notable biographies.

I came across a few unnotable articles and listed them for AFD. But I encountered strange resistance, such as the user refusing to talk about issues and removing my tags without notice. Then I discovered the creator of the article has been citing himself in nearly 50 articles

I cited something you said about that user on Conflict_of_interest/Noticeboard and just wanted to bring it to your attention. HHaeyyn89 (talk) 04:25, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

You have set the template fact in the article about him in earlier life quote his conviction for cocaine in 1994. Why do not you just source numemr 7 as ogsp used to document it later in the article. Have a nice evening, courtesy 109.232.72.49 (talk) 22:37, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
