Re Luka Doncic FA nomination

Thanks for the heads up on the FA nomination of Luka Dončić. Since I've contributed to the article quite often, I'd rather leave it to other persons to provide a more unbiased review on it, but I'll be happy to pop in once in a while to help with bits and pieces.--Gorpik (talk) 06:50, 30 July 2018 (UTC)

Norvel Pelle

Great work on Pelle's article. That was kind of on my back burner of articles to create. Just make sure to add relevant categories when you create an article. With regards to Luka Doncic, I am not convinced the article is FA ready as of yet but I'll take a look. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 21:38, 2 August 2018 (UTC)

August 2018

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at LiAngelo Ball‎‎. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing Wikipedia. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you. —Bagumba (talk) 15:58, 4 August 2018 (UTC)

• While I agree with you that JBA East/West MVP is not acceptable for the infobox, it is always a good idea to seek consensus if someone keeps reverting. This is nothing to get blocked for (trust me, it's happened to me). ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 21:12, 4 August 2018 (UTC)

Your DYK nomination

just as an FYI, I've started reviewing your DYKN for Norvel Pelle. Juxlos (talk) 22:50, 7 August 2018 (UTC)

Nomination of Nate Morris (basketball) for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Nate Morris (basketball) is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nate Morris (basketball) until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 03:31, 9 August 2018 (UTC)

Module:College color/data

Hi there. I reverted your edits at Module:College color/data because they were unsourced. At the top of the page once you've hit 'edit', there is a note that says a reliable source (usually the university/athletics brand guide) needs to be added for verification; just as you would with any other article when adding new content. If they do not have a brand guide (which I will be looking for), then you'll need to provide a note like <!-- No brand guide available. Extracted using "Inspect Element Tool" --> as we have done with others. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Corky 17:19, 11 August 2018 (UTC)

@Corkythehornetfan: Please unrevert the edits and add <!-- No brand guide available. Extracted using "Inspect Element Tool" --> to all of them. Runningibis (talk) 17:29, 11 August 2018 (UTC)

Have you even looked for brand guides? I'm not reverting, but have already found some for Ottawa, Alberta, and Calgary. I'm working on the others. It literally takes five seconds to go to the athletics and/or university page and look for the brand guide. I've already added the ones I've found. Corky 18:20, 11 August 2018 (UTC)

DYK for Norvel Pelle

On 24 August 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Norvel Pelle, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.

The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Norvel Pelle. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Norvel Pelle), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000.

Disambiguation link notification for August 24

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Alex Owumi, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page London Lions (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

DeMario Mayfield

Thanks for the heads up. How did you hear about his story? Maybe we can collaborate on an article sometime. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 21:33, 24 August 2018 (UTC)

I may create Cadot sometime, but I'm kinda getting burned out with writing basketball bios at the moment. Might want to focus on something else for a bit, like music. But if you want to start the article, this would be a good source to use. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 01:12, 27 August 2018 (UTC)

@Editorofthewiki: Most of the Cadot article is complete, but you may be interested in finishing the "professional career" section. Also, some future articles you should consider creating in the future: current college players Oscar da Silva and Christ Koumadje, and pro players Reggie Upshaw and Andre Spight.

Prod

What's with all the PRODs? Are you upset because I nominated Brandon Phillips for deletion or because Nate Morris was deleted (which I opposed btw). Please note that you cannot readd the tag to an article once it's been removed, unless it is a BLP with no sources. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 19:50, 31 August 2018 (UTC)

@Editorofthewiki: Not at all. I felt that they all failed to meet WP:GNG, with one source at most that wasn't a passing mention. Runningibis (talk) 20:31, 31 August 2018 (UTC)

Sekou Doumbouya

Hi, I've already skimmed his article when I was looking for a page to review a day or so ago, it's already a very polished piece. Hopefully I can find some time in the next couple of weeks to pick up some more reviews and make this one of them, if nobody else picks it up in the meantime.
