Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

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 Pau Gasol, 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, Manual_of_Style/Capital_letters suggests that only the first letter of items like "Power forward" are capitalized. —Bagumba (talk) 02:41, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

Positions
Why are you capitalising all the player positions? FYI, Small Forward links to Small forward; besides there is no need to capitalise that anyway. Also, Guard and Forward link to disambiguation pages because Guard and Forward are not just basketball positions. So when someone is a shooting guard/point guard, you don't need to change that to just "Guard". Some players a genuinely a shooting guard primarily, shooting guard secondary. If need be, link Forward like this. Cheers. DaHuzyBru (talk) 06:00, 9 July 2014 (UTC)

Capitalization of "free agent" and player positions in infoboxes
Hi. Regretfully, I am in the process of reverting many of your recent edits to Wikipedia articles about NBA players. Most of these reversions are because you are capitalizing the word "free agent" and player positions in player infoboxes. Other changes are being reverted because you are deleting multiple player position descriptions from the infoboxes without explanation. Many Wikipedia editors have worked long and hard to have standard formatting standards in our NBA player articles, and your recent edits are disruptive and are undoing the efforts of many of your fellow Wikipedia editors. Please stop. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 20:20, 13 July 2014 (UTC)

The caps issue above, which appears to have become the subject of a block last month, has become problematic again. What's going on? EricEnfermero HOWDY! 05:47, 7 August 2014 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Al-Farouq Aminu. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been reverted or removed. Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive, until the dispute is resolved through consensus. Continuing to edit disruptively could result in loss of editing privileges. I see you have been asked several times about why you are going against capitalization standards with no response. This is disruptive editing and if you continue to do it, you'll be blocked. Also, please stop replacing specific positions with more general. There is no call for it. Thanks.

 * If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor then please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
 * If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please stop your disruptive editing, as you did at Roger Mason, Jr.. Your edits have been reverted or removed.

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 31 hours for continuing to ignore manual of style on capitalization. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the following text below this notice:. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. —Bagumba (talk) 00:00, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

Player positions
I noticed your edit to Keyon Dooling to list him as a generic guard. First of all, basketball players should link to Guard (basketball) instead of the ambiguous Guard, which is a disambiguation page. You can use the syntax, which displays "Guard" while linking to basketball-specific guard article. Also, you removed information that listed Dooling specifically as "Point guard / Shooting guard". When removing information, it help to at least explain in an edit summary explaining your decision. While editors are encouraged to be bold, it is sometimes helpful to get consensus for widespread changes to save work for you and the community in the event there is no agreement. For NBA articles, you can discuss general changes at WikiProject National Basketball Association. Regards.—Bagumba (talk) 00:22, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
