Ken Jennings
The type of change you made here is great. You also noted in the summary that you had a definative source. Please include the source in your edit to comply with verification standards of wikipedia. You can do this by typing in " comment " after the information - the comment is optional - that will make a nice external link or without a comment a footnote like link[.
 * I hope my comment above didn't discourage you from editing the article. Verifiability is a big issue on Wikipedia - something that doesn't get done enough. With negative information on living people it is a must. With this kind of info - we need to get it sometime but not immediately. I'll try to find another source - but if he said you could use the email that would be fine too! -- Trödel 22:10, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Thx for the explanation - I will probably delete it in a few minutes - btw Ken already has it on his website - or he put it there since we started talking ;) http://www.ken-jennings.com/aboutken.html

List of National Basketball Association players with 60 or more points in a game
Hey, great job on List of National Basketball Association players with 60 or more points in a game! What are your sources? —Wknight94 (talk) 01:53, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
 * If you're referring to the fgms, ftms and rebounds, then my sources are old NBA guides or similar texts . . . but a lot of this stuff can be corroborated on the web. I used to have more books, and could probably have filled out the list for the pre-1980's 60+ point games . . . but unless those books are packed in boxes in another state, I may no longer have them. Myasuda 02:05, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I was referring to the stat details. If you can add citations for those guides - like ISBNs or whatever - that would be great. —Wknight94 (talk) 02:22, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Speaking of a "brawl"
Don't know whether you've been watching Talk:Japanese American internment but there's a pissing match heated discussion going on between Critic-at-arms and History Student. I suppose that it's OK as long as it stays on Talk, but I'd prefer to keep HS on good behavior. Don't know whether you have any thoughts on this matter. --ishu 06:12, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I had not been following the "debate" until you brought it to my attention . . . HS seems determined to generate controversy, and from HS's edit history it's clear that the JA Internment is his/her sole topic of concern on Wikipeida (does this qualify as an obsession?). I'm not sympathetic to HS's viewpoint, so I won't claim impartiality when I state that I hope that HS leaves the forum and article soon and on his/her own volition.  At the same time, I don't want to wade into the middle of the fight as I simply don't have the time, energy, or inclination right now to join what appears to be a futile war of words.  I think your efforts to maintain civility between the two parties is admirable, but right now it appears that they are simply talking past you. Myasuda 06:56, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Bill Russell
I noticed that you are a member of Wikiproject:National Basketball Association. I'd like to ask a favor of you: Bill Russell's article is a Featured Article Candidate and I'm worried that it may not pass merely because there are not enough reviewers looking it over. Would you mind looking it over and seeing if you feel it meets the criteria. If you have never done so before all you have to do is look over the criteria and see if it meets them. You can pass, fail, or stay neutral. Don't worry if you don't like anything in the article you can state so and usually people will work to improve it. Here is the candidacy page. Thanks in advance.

Oscar Robertson
Thanks for the compliment, I'm actually not done copyediting the Big O article. I only have occassional time to give, but I'm trying to finish it up. I have a request if you could help me out, though. The pic of Robertson in the infobox was removed, I think because it wasn't free use. I'm no expert on the fair use, free use, or any copyright subject so I usually don't mess with pics. But if you or someone else could upload a good picture for the article, I would appreciate it. Also, thanks for the suggestions of articles to copyedit, the oldtime basketball players definitely appeal to me, so I'll try and work my way through them.Timpcrk87 03:36, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Five-by-Fives in the NBA
Hey, I noticed your comments on the double-double web page. That is good stuff and I was searching specifically for it in thinking of the greatest ever double-double. I know Wilt is the only person to ever get a double triple-double and the list of quadruple-doubles is 4 long so it's easy to see it all.

The next step would be a five-by-five. Since no one has ever had a quintuple double, this is the analogous stat. If someone gets 5 in all 5 categories, that's a five-by-five, maybe you have heard of it. I don't know much about making a page on here. I just add info so I thought since you were interested in this type of stuff, maybe you'd want to. If you don't, that's cool. Here's the best page I know about... it's on basketball-reference.com. He has all box scores from the NBA from 1986-87 through the last completed season and he can just search through them with a computer search. So, I asked if he'd look up all the five-by-fives once and he did. Any way, here's the web page with the list of the 14 occurrences in that time span

http://www.basketball-reference.com/friv/five_by_five.html

I'm about 99.9% sure it hasn't happened this year because about the only people capable are Marcus Camby and Andrei Kirilenko and I look at their stats regularly to see if they got another one. Camby was 1 steal or so short not long ago and just 2 stat points short a couple other times in the same one month period but he has not attained it again. Kirilenko's stats are downhill this year so he hasn't gotten close.

Also, I have no idea how many occurrences have happened in the previous years before 1986-87 (and after steals and blocks were recorded). You seem to have more knowledge of how to find these things that are not just sitting on a web page somewhere. Odds are, not many.

I believe Hakeem and AK have the record for most in all five categories... that is they both got 6 in all five categories in one game, on the list. I think AK did it in regulation and I know Hakeem did not. Even though this guy does not have box scores from before that, I believe I saw a link once stating Hakeem's 6 of each was a record (possibly on ESPN.com). Then, AK did it last year.

Another stat that might be interesting, and along the same lines, is the career quintiple-whatever. That is, who has the best career highs in all five categories... more specifically, I'm about 99.9% sure no one has 10 in all stats for career highs and that's easy to verify (though I have not taken the time) since 10 steals has only happened 19 times ever and I could just check career highs in blocks for those people. But, has any one ever gotten at least 9 in all five categories for a career? I'd say 8 is a for sure. Yea, Hakeem has gotten 8 steals once at least.

Links to Hakeem, Andrei getting career eight-by-fives. http://www.nba.com/playerfile/hakeem_olajuwon/ http://www.nba.com/playerfile/andrei_kirilenko/career_stats.html

Here's a link stating these two are the only ones to get a five-by-six as it is called in Andrei Kirilenko's article.

Re: Add cats for NBA coaches
Hi Myasuda, Good idea. You may want to add a sortable option after each. They all show up on the cat page as under 'T'. For example see. <font style="font-weight:bold; color:darkgreen;">Вasil | talk 19:17, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Five-by-Five
Alright, I created a page for a five-by-five. I still have work to do on it but I have a lot finished. Again, I don't know if you can help at all but if you have any way of looking at stats for years 1973-74 through 1985-86, that'd be nice as most of the stats recorded are only from 1986-87 on. The guy from basketball-reference.com has all box scores from that season on but not the ones from before.

StatisticsMan

Also, I just found a Sportingnews.com article which states that besides AK and Hakeem, seven others have done it once (and those two are the only ones with multiple games). Thus, the only possible five-by-fives not already listed on the page are from Hakeem's first two seasons, 1984-85, 1985-86... and then there are two other people who have done it one time. So, though this still leaves tons of searching, it narrows it down a lot.

Question
I started the basketball five-by-five page at "Basketball_five-by-five". But, I don't like that name. I guess I didn't realize that's the name that would appear at the top of the screen. Not to mention, the f's aren't capitalized. Is it a big deal to delete a page? I'd like to move it to "Five-by-Five (Basketball)" and delete the old one. Thanks StatisticsMan 19:06, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Bowie Seamount
The reference is about the Bowie Seamount, which says "A YOUNG submarine volcano at the base of the continental slope west of Canada has been named after the Canadian geophysicist J. Tuzo Wilson." Black Tusk 05:12, 13 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Well, I thought it was about the Bowie Seamount because I searched "Bowie Seamount volcano" on google. I know it does not say anything about the seamount, but I thought it was because the Bowie Seamount also young. Where is the Tuzo Wilson Seamount? Black Tusk 14:23, 13 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Do you know if the Tuzo Wilson Seamount is part of the Tuzo Wilson Volcanic Field? Because it contains two 500-700-m-high submarine volcanoes. Black Tusk 19:21, 13 August 2007 (UTC)


 * I'm just confused about the submarine volcano's name, because I have seen it called "Tuzo Wilson Seamounts", "Tuzo Wilson Seamount" and I'm not sure if the "Tuzo Wilson Volcanic Field" is related or is the same thing. I would make an article about the volcano, but I don't know what the real name is (maybe it has one than one name?).Black Tusk 18:23, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Wilt Chamberlain
Here's my argument that Wilt never fouling out of an NBA game is significant:

1. He played center, mostly around the basket, both on offense and defense, which lends itself to collecting a lot of fouls. Surely, most centers and power forwards of Wilt's era knew how to draw a charging foul. 2. The nearest competitor in the "never fouling out" category according to NBA records is 0-for-645. Wilt was 0-for-1045. 3. Also, most of the names that appear on the "never fouling out" list are guards, who don't commit that many fouls to begin with.

I agree that Malone's streak of 1212 straight without fouling out is very worthy of note, but this streak started in 1978. He had four seasons of committing fouls before that.

And, during Wilt's time, the number of fouls before fouling out was five. I believe it was expanded to six in 1974-75.

Again, my opinion.

Elevation
Hi Myasuda, do you know the elevation of the Tuzo Wilson Seamounts? Black Tusk 25:12, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Well, that elevation is actually how high the volcanoes are below sea level. I ment the elevation above sea level. I seen you added the elevation to the Bowie Seamount as -24 m (-79 ft), but I can't seem to find the same for the Tuzo Wilson Seamounts. Black Tusk 21:24, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Wilt's 100 points
Hey Myasuda. I didn't mean to start an edit war with you on the Wilt Chamberlain page.

You might be interested in the the following sources: , where Marc Stein contends that Kobe's 81 was a greater than Wilt's 100 and , an analysis by John Hollinger.

The second link requires a paid subscription, but in it Hollinger points out that had Bryant "played for an additional six minutes and scored at the same rate (hardly an unreasonable assumption, given how much gas he appeared to have at the end), Kobe would have finished with 93 points." Kobe is in exceptional condition and could have played all 48 minutes, had Jackson wanted to run up the score. So my POV--backed by articles like this--is that he was playing at a pace that threatened Wilt's record. Your POV is that the record was not threatened. That's why I've deleted the sentence altogether. It's subjective and not NPOV.

I think this specific debate, actually, would be much better suited for the Wilt Chamberlain's 100-point game article.--The Fat Man Who Never Came Back 01:38, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

Columbia River
Hi Myasuda, I see you're making some substantial edits to the Columbia River article. Not sure if you're aware, but it's currently a Good Article candidate. As such, it's probably best to discuss changes on the talk page first -- not sure if there's a policy about this, that's just my opinion -- so that any editor doing a GA evaluation has a fairly stable version to evaluate.

In fact, if you have the time, I would very much appreciate if you would do a GA evaluation yourself. I've put a fair amount of work into the article over the last few months, and am hoping someone with a sharp and critical eye will give it a good once-over.

You removed the line about Mark Wahlberg and PCP.

"When he was sixteen (again using racist language) while attempting to rob a pharmacy under the influence of PCP, Wahlberg knocked a middle aged Vietnamese man unconscious with a wooden stick, left another Vietnamese man permanently blinded in one eye, and attacked a security guard.[9][10][4]"

I understand that your edit was in good faith, however the citation is provided. It is citation [4] from Inside the Actors Studio. He mentions he was under the influence of PCP while robbing a pharmacy. If you watch to watch it you can find it on youtube.

Sihugo Green
You recently added the Boston Celtics 1965-66 NBA champions template to the Sihugo Green article. Can you confirm that Sihugo Green received a championship ring for the 1965-66 season? While he played in 10 regular season games for the Celtics that season, he did not play in any of their playoff games. My impression is that he was no longer on the roster during the playoffs and was thus not eligible for a championship ring. If you have evidence otherwise, please notify me. Thanks. &mdash; Myasuda (talk) 20:59, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
 * According to page 229 of this year's media guide, he was part of the team. And a player doesn't have to play in playoff games to be officially on a championship roster. He must just be under contract with the team during that time. Scot Pollard, for example, would get a ring if the Celtics won the championship this season, even though he won't play in the playoffs (out for season). ● <font face="broadway" size="3"><font color="#d8bb6c">8 ~ <font color="#008040">Hype  @ 21:11, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I am aware of everything you've stated. But you haven't provided evidence that Sihugo Green was still a part of the roster during the post-season.  Incidentally, this is why Butler is not eligible for a ring (he was traded mid-season).  However, I do have evidence that Sauldsberry was, so that's why he can remain on the 1965-66 championship template. &mdash; Myasuda (talk) 00:10, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
 * It looks like you haven't been very careful with your updates. Several of the players you've added to the templates were traded mid-season. Please be more careful in the future. &mdash; Myasuda (talk) 00:15, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I will re-check the templates while keeping in mind the transactions. ● <font face="broadway" size="3"><font color="#d8bb6c">8 ~ <font color="#008040">Hype  @ 00:18, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Curiously, even though Palazzi was sold during the season, he is listed as part of the 1956-57 Championship team. Here 's the proof. So what shall we do? I think every Celtic player who appears on the Championship team rosters on the Celtics website should be added to the template (including Palazzi, even though he was sold). ● <font face="broadway" size="3"><font color="#d8bb6c">8 ~ <font color="#008040">Hype  @ 15:00, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Moses Malone
The reason for my cite on Moses Malone being the fourth player to play professional is because Tony Kappen was 27 years old whe he signed to play with in the BAA. That's not what I would really cal straight from high school in my book. While Graboski and Connie Simmons were 19 and 21 respectively. From a reasonable point of view I don't really think Kappen qualifies.(Thedraftreview (talk) 14:24, 20 May 2008 (UTC))

Pierogi (derelye) in Hungary

 * Thanks for your prompt reply. Do you have any idea if this is legitimate information or just folklore (or worse)? I find many instances of Andras Perl and Katalin Banki as a pair of authors of scientific papers. I do not find anything on the 18th century story about a wedding and derelye. My inclination is to remove this piece. Any thoughts on the matter? --Zlerman (talk) 13:41, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

This is the only place on the web where I can find Andras Perl and Katalin Banki in the pierogi (derelye) context. The anon user who added the content on June 7 has only this one item in his contribution list, but then maybe he became a registered user that same day... Still, looks suspicious. A citation needed tag is there already: I will do as you suggest pending deletion. Incidentally, derelye as such is perfectly legit, in case you were wondering.

Jerry Sloan
I have no problem with the addition, and I agree Coach's total was probably higher. Some of the stats on this NBA page are odd (Jerry West with 81 career steals? Heh). Odder still, this official site is obviously updated all the time, as I track Jason Kidd slowly creeping up on Mark Jackson (though no one will probably ever topple Stockton's 15,806 - and that's just fine with me). Your dedication is fierce, and I won't alter the addition, but maybe there's a way to research it with the NBA statisticians (I see you're "into" mathematics by your credentials :>) to see why some of these stats are recorded like this. Coach Sloan didn't play 755 games in his last three seasons, and neither did West record 81 steals in 932 games and manage a 2.61 SPG average.

Explanation
My objection is not about retaining differential geometry under the geometry section but instead about the form that its inclusion has. If you take a look at the sections Algebra or Analysis for example, all their subsections bear a title: e.g.: Theory of Equations, Abstract Algebra, Complex Analysis etc. But in Geometry there is a first part of works from different branches of geometry (elementary, synthetic, analytic, axiomatic) and the only subesction that bears a title is that of Diff. geom. For reasons of consistency, I would like the first subsection of Geometry to bear a title as well, but I doubt that there is such a generic term that covers all these oeuvres; perhaps Traditional geometry as opposed to Modern geometry (differential, algebraic, symplectic)? --Omnipaedista (talk) 09:41, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

When removing text, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the text has been restored, as you can see from the. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

Thanks for adding section breaks on the draft articles. I agree that section breaks are needed since the lead are becoming too long and wordy. However, I don't really like the section titles, it's too long and too descriptive. I am thinking of a shorter titles such as Draft selections, Draft overview or just Overview. The Draft section titles also could be changed into Draft board to make it clearer. Any thoughts on this? By the way, any reason why you stopped at 1979 NBA Draft?

That's why in my most recent rewrite of the draft article, the 1981 NBA Draft, I started to have a separate paragraphs on the draft overview from the players future NBA achievements. I tried a new arrangement in that article that trimmed down the lead significantly. Any thoughts on this? If this structure is working then I'll try to restructure the older draft articles to make it consistent. — MT (talk) 15:08, 5 January 2011 (UTC)
