I was thinking more a suburb in the colloquial sense, you know picket fences, perfect lawns, safety and all that. Technically you're more correct that I on the subject of Compton. Just wanted to make it clear I wasn't attempting vandalism. Plus, I made that edit in another location, so that explains why the IP address I'm signing here isn't the same as the one I made the edit from. 50.138.199.209 (talk) 05:19, 3 April 2013 (UTC)

Steve Bartman, Continued 2
Thanks for the revisions man, it looks perfect. Hopefully Steve can be vindicated someday and this sort of thing not happen again in MLB! — Preceding unsigned comment added by JohnnyangelNIU (talk • contribs) 13:12, 21 March 2013 (UTC)

Steve Bartman, Continued
Thanks for the info man, looks nearly perfect! If I may suggest (not to nit-pick), perhaps put "Mike Everitt" instead of "the umpire" (unless you meant 'umpire's' collectively). I know it maybe slightly superficial, but in my original edit, I preferred to add the word non-malicious, to give some creedence to Steve. His interference was non-malicios in nature, whereas other fan interference throughout history was malicious and intentional.

Secondly, just to discuss back and forth. Why wasn't instant-replay used during this critical play? Or was it? I think a few minutes of all the umpires analizing the footage could have made a huge difference. As we both stated, play could have continued, Castillo probably called out, and Bartman and a few other fans could have been quietly removed (again it was non-malicious, but just to follow the MLB rules). It seems in hindsight the umpire or umpires helped contribute to what would become the domino effect? Your thoughts? :)    — Preceding unsigned comment added by JohnnyangelNIU (talk • contribs) 13:48, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

Steve Bartman
Zagalego - first off, I BARELY know how to correspond on Wikipedia so I hope this finds you well. Please also forgive me if I do not write something here or sign it correctly, I am still learning! Usually I feel my edits are near fact or factual, and rarely do I do it. This being said, I feel my edit is important - here's why. According to that 2011 film Catching Hell, it was insinuated and all but scientifically proven that Steve's arms DID slightly cross over (for a brief second or so) the railing. Although his 'interference' is non-malicious, it can clearly be seen to the naked eye if you study all the camera angles. I feel this is important, because the information as it stands now simply leaves the casual reader with the fact that one umpire did not judge it to be fan interference,and that can be misconstrued as hard fact. As we all know, umpires can be wrong, and many believe he was wrong in this scenario. I kinda gave both sides of the argument, and that technically in the best most correct call, Castillo would have been called 'out' per major league rule if it had been deemed interference (again non-malicious in nature, but still), and we may not know how the true outcome of the game would have played out. Hit me back, perhaps we can come up with a compromise both fair to the best evidence and facts and also still partial to Steve's defense. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JohnnyangelNIU (talk • contribs) 14:09, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

Drollinger Article
Zagalejo, check out ralphdrollinger.com. It appears he has updated his picture authorization to include public domain usage, which means you can now paste it onto his Wiki article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AccuracyInPosting (talk • contribs) 02:46, 19 December 2012 (UTC)

You are right, he was a free agent after not having signed from being drafted the previous three years and not signed. Maverick sources indicate Norm Sonju, the then GM of the Mavericks signed him before he signed Dick Motta as the head coach. Drollinger was actually instrumental, used by Sonju, to lure Don Carter in as the capitalizing owner. Not sure where this is published, but it is very accurate. Hope this helps. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AccuracyInPosting (talk • contribs) 04:25, 10 October 2012 (UTC)

Zagalejo: If you look at Drollinger's SE on Google you will notice (I think on page two) a Wiki reference to his picture. Perhaps you can find a locater number or something and move it into his main article on Wiki. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.176.47.25 (talk) 00:54, 20 November 2012 (UTC)

Birthplace of Andris Biedriņš
Hi Zagalejo, thanks for your efforts to undo my recent corrections regarding the birthplace of Latvian basketball player Andris Biedriņš. Please take note that Baltic states were occupied by USSR in 1940 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occupation_of_the_Baltic_states) and so called "Latvian SSR" was illegitimate entity under international law and not recognized by most Western countries, including USA. Btw, you will not find any Wikipedia articles about Estonians born in so called "Estonian SSR". As Latvian living in Latvia, I urge you to restore my editions, i.e. Andris Biedriņš was born in Latvia. Thanks.

Eddy Curry
Where is there any official report that Curry was waived by the Mavs? There is nothing on the Mavericks site or NBA.com. I did read it somewhere but when I used unofficially report's from Mavs ESPN when Douglas-Roberts and Ely were signed, you didn't like it. I'm sure it's right and it is listed on ESPN NBA Rumors, but still. DaHuzyBru (talk) 03:50, 3 November 2012 (UTC)
 * There is also nothing official about Troy Murphy. The reference for the Troy Murphy signing is from the same site that I got the Douglas-Roberts/Ely signing and you said that wasn't official??  DaHuzyBru (talk) 03:55, 3 November 2012 (UTC)

Joey Dorsey
No. They have not yet officially released him. They have to either pay a buyout, take him to court saying he violated his contract's moral clause, or they have to suspend him and keep his letter of clearance. So far it has not been reported what they will do, just that he won't play with the team again. However, no, his contract has not yet been cancelled as far as I know. But there should be a media report from the club fairly soon on what they will do probably.Bluesangrel (talk) 12:41, 4 November 2012 (UTC)

Use of "reportedly"
I understand the benefits of being conservative and using "reportedly". For things such as trades and signings that aren't official, it should always IMO be used because the truth will be known soon enough. However, in the case of Jackson being courted by the Lakers, "reportedly" seems overkill based on the widespread sources that reported it. Also, as we may never know the real story, "unnamed sources" might be as good as we ever get here. Interested on your perspective on the wording.—Bagumba (talk) 06:15, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
 * In this situation, I just don't feel comfortable stating anything as an absolute fact. As far as I know, the Lakers' decision makers never made any public statements that they wanted Jackson from the start. (Of course, if I'm wrong about that, then that would change everything.) Zagal e jo^^^ 06:22, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
 * They are all unnamed sources so far from the Lakers. I just feel "reportedly" is overkill if multiple reliable sources support it, even if they get it from from unnamed sources.  I guess we could also say he was the media's favorite to get the job.  Anyways, just bouncing off ideas.—Bagumba (talk) 06:31, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Maybe things will be clearer after a few days. At this stage, when people are still issuing statements on the matter, I think it's better to word things conservatively. You might want to ask for comments at the NBA project page. Zagal e jo^^^ 06:48, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
 * That's OK. The question was as much if not more to understand your thought process than a dire need to remove "reportedly".—Bagumba (talk) 06:59, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

Only one of these with more steals than turnovers. -- same source There are only 5 other guys on the list and their steals and turnovers are shown above.

Note: the round-off function on basketball-reference shows Keith Closs on this list looking at his numbers eliminates him.

It's an admittedly unusual accomplishment but it also reflects the unusual nature of Ben Wallace's game, IMO.

You're right about there only being five. My post had included "min 150 games" so that all of the players who barely played would be excluded).

User that keeps changing referenced heights and weights of players
There is a user just with an IP address (that varies a bit from time to time, but it is obviously the same user) that has been changing referenced heights and weights of players for a long time here. They always change the height or weight and give no explanation why, and don't leave a source. They even keep the current sources, which give different heights. They have been doing this for quite a long time, and I have just been reverting the edits back. But after this continues, I think we need to have a discussion with this editor. The latest edits like this were from User:94.64.144.182 (edit history) - but this same IP range, with slightly different exact addresses has been doing these same edits for a long time. You can go back and look at some of the histories of the player pages that the latest IP address edited, and see the previous same edit pattern over a quite awhile. So I think we need to have a discussion on this. Your input on how to discuss this is welcomed. Thanks.Bluesangrel (talk) 20:19, 26 December 2012 (UTC)
 * The Spanish League lists players almost always by barefoot height. But most other leagues list it by shoe height. So are we going to change it every single time a player moved into or out of the Spanish League? I notice for example that NBA players like Fernandez don't get their height changed back to the barefoot listing the Spanish League uses.Bluesangrel (talk) 10:42, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
 * A lot of European players are listed by barefoot height. But the NBA is almost always shoe height. I don't think we should switch the heights back and forth. I think we should pick one or the other. Going by the height listed by the club to change it whenever a player switches teams does not make sense. You use Panko, he was listed at 2.06 by Panathinaikos, just look at his profile at their website. Literally 2 days later he is listed at 2.04 by Malaga's website. It does not make sense to be changing things like that from 2 days to the next. Panko is listed at 6-9 by the NBA, so I think that's appropriate. I guess it does not matter, but I don't really agree to change the heights every time a player switches teams, especially since some teams from some leagues use barefoot height, while most others use shoe height.Bluesangrel (talk) 15:16, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

Mario Kasun
Friend, let me tell you.. Stay up to the NBA-related articles where you can get all the stats on one page, without calculating percentages and all the other stuff. In this (Mario's) case, all the information you can get at the Euroleague.net player's profile, so fix it if you doesn't agree with me somewhere. And just in case of his FT%, he has 112/160 in his career (0.700%), and in this season (2012-13) he has 10/18 (0.556%). Next time, check your results once again, before asking some stupid questions.

Eric Zorn
I am very impressed with the major cleanup you did with Eric Zorn. You did a fantastic job. You turned a blatant fan page with no reliable sources into a very credible encyclopedia stub, which I understand you plan to expand. You got rid of all the junk and replaced it with worthy content. I had no idea where to even begin with it because it was such a huge mess. Haha. Although I originally questioned his notability after reviewing WP:CREATIVE, the fact that he also wrote the book about Laurie Dann, which was turned into a movie, convinced me that he is. I remember reading a long talk page discussion involving many experienced editors where it was explained that simply writing for a major newspaper doesn't necessarily qualify someone as notable. They also gave many examples of articles of newspaper reporters/columnists, etc. that were deleted due to non-notability. The points I remember most were to the effect of... if every major newspaper writer were notable, then they'd all have Wikipedia articles, but the key is that the person needs to be a "significant contributor" to the paper. Anyway, I just wanted to say thanks for the fine work you did on that article. Because of your efforts, you've convinced me that you are a high quality, hard-working editor; therefore, please do whatever you think is best with the Dennis Rodman marriage and divorce dates.

Jonas Valanciunas
(Duhon) has been reverting Valanciunas' height and weight to the NBA.com listings, while he has been denying this http://blog.raptors.com/press-releases/raptors-announce-training-camp-roster/, even though he admitted that the raptors.com site and nba.com were one and the same. I suspect that he has an alternate account by the name of (Brodey) which he used to change Enes Kanter's height and weight, in the wake of my rebuttal of "Look at Enes Kanters NBA listing and Wikipedia page" to his argument of "all NBA players on Wikipedia have their heights and weights listed according to NBA.com". Both (Duhon) and (Brodey) coincidentally have an intense interest in Hollywood North and a .jpg of LeBron James that may or may not have copyright infringements. I have already appealed to my old acquaintance (DaHuzyBru).

 * Also, while I did not block indef as Jrcla2 suggested, it would be IMO reasonable for a repeat offense esp. if their is no talk page activity.—Bagumba (talk) 21:11, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

RfA: thank you for your support
Zag, I wanted to thank you for your kind words and support during my RfA. Assuming that I survive the final 24 hours of the rack, I hope you won't mind if I stop by your talk page from time to time with how-to or what-do-you-think questions. Best regards, Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 00:34, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Well, that did not turn out as I had hoped, but, after the dust settles, hopefully there is something positive to be learned from it. Thanks again for sticking up for me and my record when the chips were down.  Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 01:50, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

Danilovic
Alright, we'll stay away from terminology that can be construed as value-judgement, although when you've got a documented rap sheet as long as Danilovic's, "surly" is almost a compliment.

Also, Blic is a reliable source. It's one of the high-circulation dailies in Serbia. Yes, it's a middle-market tabloid, but it doesn't invent stories. It oscillates between indepth serious stuff and frivolous celebrity entertainment schlock. It's very similar to Britain's Daily Mail. Plus the case of Danilovic beating up referee Juras is well-documented in Serbian media as well as the resulting sanctions, both basketball-related and civic.Zvonko (talk) 01:33, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

Hey, I think you could help give some good input on this basketball discussion here - you know a lot about the European leagues like Adriatic League, Eurocup, etc.Bluesangrel (talk) 22:47, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

Latest trade
Is this reference enough to justify the latest Kings, Rockets ad Suns trade: I need your help right now, I'm not going to win this fight against it not being official yet. DaHuzyBru (talk) 02:30, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Neither, I've been strong on this one. Cheers. DaHuzyBru (talk) 02:44, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

Thanks, the Rockets also have nothing about Morris in their press release either: DaHuzyBru (talk) 06:29, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

Dwayne Jones
Could you maybe consider removing the semi-protection tag on Dwayne Jones. It seems that it was put there indefinitely and never taken off after some transaction finally went official - in 2010. Just bringing it to your attention. DaHuzyBru (talk) 08:31, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

Restoring an article
Hi Zag. Can you read what I wrote at User:Explicit's talk page: see the thread User talk:Explicit. I just noticed that s/he hasn't edited in 5 days so I'm not sure how long it will be until my concern is addressed. You're a basketball guy and an admin to boot. Can you please restore Steve Rogers (basketball)? Jrcla2 (talk) 17:00, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

I don't know about you, but I vote for a semi-protection on Paul George's page. I'm sure your sick of reverting the constant changing of his height. Why haven't you already? DaHuzyBru (talk) 05:52, 24 February 2013 (UTC)

With your edit, did you intend to swap out the source. I added it to make it clear they didnt sign until later.—Bagumba (talk) 02:46, 28 February 2013 (UTC)

Museums in Chicago
I created a template a long time ago just for museums that I forgot to deploy. Then someone else created one that is for Museums and cultural institutions. I'm not sure what this combination is suppose to encompass. Should in include theaters (which also have their own template)? I think about 75% of mine are on his. His has a lot of redlinks.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 22:42, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

RFC-withdrawal closure
Could you close my RFC at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Disambiguation. I seem to have defined the wrong scope of the issue and posted it at the wrong page, according to the feedback I am getting.

Hey Zagalejo; I'm dropping you this note because you've used the article feedback tool in the last month or so.

Xavier Silas
Well, I edit all of the D-League rosters every so often. So when I came to the Red Claws, he wasn't on their official roster. The Red Claws have two rosters:. I go by the first one, but yeah I'm not sure other than that. Maybe he is still with the team but inactive because of injury ??? DaHuzyBru (talk) 02:22, 15 March 2013 (UTC)
 * The first one seems more official to me. DaHuzyBru (talk) 02:23, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, I'm going with that he is indefinitely inactive and that he has a season ending injury. DaHuzyBru (talk) 03:46, 16 March 2013 (UTC)

MOS discussion regarding linked NBA seasons in basketball player infoboxes
FYI, Zagalejo -- Please be aware of this discussion at MOS: Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Dates and numbers. This discussion grew out of a feature article review for an NBA basketball player Juwan Howard. Before jumping into the discussion, I suggest that you read the relevant MOS section, MOS:YEAR. As I'm sure you can see, this has the potential to significantly change the currently used year span conventions in the NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL and soccer player infoboxes.

Magic Johnson
Thanks for the clarity about Magic's son. It smacked of gossip to me, but chose to expand it and write it a little better instead of removing it.

saw your post.
.. and will watchlist Kenny Anderson (basketball) for a bit. I didn't look to see if you tried this first - but WP:RFPP is a good place to post for protection when you are actually editing the article too. Protection looks valid though, and I appreciate your concerns of wp:involved. If I see anything out of line, I'll drop you a note either here or on the talk page. — Ched : ?  01:19, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

Funderburke
He signed a letter of intent to play at Indiana, and Indiana held onto it, thus keeping him on the hook for the obligations within it. The tactic was used, of course, to prevent him from playing at a rival school. While most schools would release a player to attend a school out of conference, Indiana did not in this instance.--YHoshua (talk) 12:02, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

Re: Utah Flash & Delaware 87ers
The current convention is that we keep the old team's page active, as you'll see the Colorado 14ers' page separate from the Texas Legends, the Anaheim Arsenal from the Springfield Armor, the Dakota Wizards from the Santa Cruz Warriors and the New Mexico Thunderbirds from the Canton Charge. Could you please restore the Utah Flash's page history and its content before you redirected it? Thank you, Tom Danson (talk) 05:41, 11 May 2013 (UTC)

List of Career Achievments by Dwayne Wade
Hi Zagalejo,

Apparently, I created an article that had a misspelling. It was called "List of Career Achievments by Dwayne Wade". A Mod changed the misspelling and now there are two articles about the same subject matter, one being List of Career Achievments by Dwayne Wade and the other List of Career Achievments by Dwyane Wade. Can you delete the one that is misspelled?
