Commissioner's Trophy (MLB)

After removing that talk page banner, this is now the only portion of the soon-to-be-featured topic on Awards in Major League Baseball that isn't under this project's bailiwick. Additionally, I read the talk page discussion you pointed to, but I didn't really understand the consensus, nor do I agree with it. Could you clarify for me? KV5 (Talk • Phils) 00:16, 22 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The Commissioner's Trophy doesn't fall within the scope of WP:WPAW because it is an award handed out as a result of a competition, not as a result of a selection based on performance like the Nobel Prize. This is why the Stanley Cup, a FA, doesn't falls within the scope of the project also. Besides, just because this article doesn't fall within this project, doesn't mean the entire topic doesn't fall within this project. Of course, if you disagree, you can always start a new discussion, but this is where the current consensus stands.—Chris!c/t 01:02, 22 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Possible TyrusThomas4lyf follow-up

Just a quick note regarding possible TyrusThomas4lyf activity. The suspected user appears to have moved from IPs 75.22.238.193 (talk · contribs · logs) and 99.145.211.131 (talk · contribs · logs) to Hoops gza (talk · contribs · logs). — Myasuda (talk) 14:05, 23 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Request

Hi. First thing, Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of Oklahoma Sooners head basketball coaches/archive1 needs a review, so if you have the time, could you take a look? Second thing, the BBHOF list is not getting any reviewer love, and is just languishing at the bottom of the FLC list. Do you think we should withdraw it if it doesn't get any more reviews by the middle of next week, and re-submit after five days? Dabomb87 (talk) 17:14, 26 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Does the BBHOF list has enough consensus to pass? It already has 2 supports and no oppose.—Chris!c/t 18:38, 27 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Followed-up comment: If it doesn't have enough consensus, then I guess withdrawal or simply letting the nom ended as not promoted are the only options left.—Chris!c/t 22:51, 27 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I (obviously) can't close it. Anyway, I'll ask TRM to take a look. Dabomb87 (talk) 00:11, 28 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Valued pictures and ITN in the WikiCup

Hi. I am contacting you on behalf of the WikiCup judges because you were involved in our previous points polling. Though most of the polls are now closed, we have restarted polls relating to the points value for both valued pictures and in the news entries. You are welcome to submit your votes here; the polls will be closing in a week's time. J Milburn (talk) 19:51, 29 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Kiki Vandeweghe

I'm sure that this is just a misunderstanding on your part, but Kiki Vandeweghe has not been officially named head coach. Furthermore, even after his predicted official announcement, he will NOT assume operations as head coach until at least Thursday morning. That's right, he will not be the head coach of the New Jersey Nets in their NBA game Wednesday night. That position would that of Tom Barrise. KIKI VANDEWEGHE IS NOT THE CURRENT HEAD COACH. Thank you.Hoops gza (talk) 00:41, 2 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hoops is right. The article says "Vandeweghe will take over at Thursday's practice and coach the Nets beginning with Friday's game against the Charlotte Bobcats", so we will have to wait a couple of days before updating. Dabomb87 (talk) 00:58, 2 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I guess if you argue on technicality that he has yet to coach a game, he is not the head coach. But I don't think that this is the right way to look at this.—Chris!c/t 03:28, 2 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
True. But I don't think it's worth arguing over a technicality that is only temporary. Cheers, Dabomb87 (talk) 03:33, 2 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Agree, so I let this go. :) Cheers—Chris!c/t 04:11, 2 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No objections on my end. Geologik (talk) 00:43, 2 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

2010 WikiCup Signups Reconfirmation!

To ensure that everyone who signed up is still committed to participating in the 2010 WikiCup, it is required that you remove your name from this list! By removing your name, you are not removing yourself from the WikiCup. This is simply a way for the judges to take note of who has not yet reconfirmed their participation. If you have not removed your name from that list by December 30th, 2009 (by 23:59 (UTC)) then your name will be removed from the WikiCup.

It's worth noting the rules have changed, likely after you signed up. The changes made thus far are:

  • Mainspace and/or portal edits will not be awarded points at all.
  • Did you know? articles (which were worth 5 points last year) will now be worth 10 points.
  • Good articles (which were worth 30 points last year) will now be worth 40 points.
  • Valued pictures will be now awarded points, however the amount (5 or 10 points) is still being discussed.
  • Featured lists (which were worth 30 points last year) will now be worth 40 points.
  • Featured portals (which were worth 25 points last year) will now be worth 35 points.
  • Featured articles (which were worth 50 points last year) will now be worth 100 points.
  • Featured topics (which were worth 10 points per article last year) will now be worth 15 points per any article in the topic that you were a major contributor to.
  • Good topics (which were worth 5 points per article last year) will now be worth 10 points per any article in the topic that you were a major contributor to.
  • In the news will still be awarded points, however the amount (5 or 10 points) is still being discussed.

If you have any final concerns about the WikiCup's rules and regulations, please ask them now, before the Cup begins to avoid last minute problems. You may come to the WikiCup's talk page, or any of the judge's user talk pages. We're looking forwards to a great 2010 WikiCup!

Wikipedia:Featured list removal candidates/List of Canadian provinces and territories by area/archive1

Hey there. Can you take a second look at the above FLRC? You !voted "delisted" a few weeks ago, but someone has started to work on the list, so if you could provide further suggestions for improvement, that would be great. Thanks, Dabomb87 (talk) 00:39, 10 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Tracy McGrady

Hey, are you sure this violates WP:NOT#FORUM? To me it seemed like a legit attempt to justify the content he added to his article, although it's quite assertive. I think it would be easy to argue that the current voting results violate WP:NOT#NEWS anyway. —LOL T/C 23:05, 10 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I might have been a bit too quickly to revert. There has been persistent attempt to insert something about Tracy McGrady All Star Game promotion to various articles. I thought the edit has something to do with that. But it looks like I was wrong. So, I'll be more careful next time.—Chris!c/t 23:29, 10 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

UH.... check www.nba.com Tracy McGrady IS on path to play in 2010 NBA All-Star Game. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.58.90.228 (talk) 01:26, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

re: Differential

Fair enough. Actually, though, I really meant to say that you couldn't subtract averages at one significant figure. If you subtracted the exact averages, you'd be okay. I did assume that you were subtracting averages with one significant figure since the reference you provided at http://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/CHI/1996/splits/ only gives averages with one significant figure and no totals. But I guess you were really pulling the data from somewhere else. Thanks for fixing up the table format. — Myasuda (talk) 03:14, 12 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

NCAA Basketball awards

I noticed you amazing efforts to get all of the NBA awards up to a FT. I was wondering if you would want to help out work on all of the national college awards for the NCAA. Currently, they are not in good shape and several articles are missing. Let me know if you would be interested. Remember (talk) 18:05, 21 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Cool. No rush. This can be more of a long term goal. Remember (talk) 19:54, 21 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Copycat

Hi! Just wanted to let you know that I stole your idea for a list of featured / good content and made my own variation at User:Arsenikk/GA. Thanks for the good idea :) Arsenikk (talk) 23:26, 23 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, I don't mind. :)—Chris!c/t 23:29, 23 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

List of National Basketball Association longest losing streaks

Hey, I liked what you did by sorting the winning streak list. Could you please apply the same thing here?--Hoops gza (talk) 23:54, 28 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I am in the process of doing so.—Chris!c/t 00:03, 29 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
17 games is chosen to be the minimum because it is very difficult to find a comprehensive listing of lesser streaks, due to the fact that lesser streaks occur more frequently.Hoops gza (talk) 00:23, 29 December 2009 (UTC) Expanding the list is not a good idea imo.--Hoops gza (talk) 00:23, 29 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The issue I have with extending it to 16 games is that even the link you pointed out is no longer a comprehensive list since it is missing some 16 game streaks (both recent and past). In addition, that link does not include streaks that carried across two seasons; it only includes single-season streaks. This list is already likely to be missing several streaks that carried across two seasons, and if we were to extend the list to include 16 games, it would increase the number of missing streaks.--Hoops gza (talk) 01:15, 29 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough, perhaps the NBA will update its official list at some point in the near future. That would obviously be helpful. Of course, there is also the added factor that the 16-game streaks are the least "notable". As teams continue to streak for more than 16 games, the 16 game streaks seem to "dilute" the list's notability more.--Hoops gza (talk) 01:32, 29 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have nominated All-NBA Team for featured list removal here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets the featured list criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks; editors may declare to "Keep" or "Remove" the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are here.Barkeep49 (talk) 15:46, 29 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The 2010 WikiCup begins tomorrow!

Welcome to the biggest WikiCup Wikipedia has yet seen! Round one will take place over two months, and finish on February 26. There is only one pool, and the top 64 will progress. The competition will be tough, as more than half of the current competitors will not make it to round 2. Details about scoring have been finalized and are explained at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring. Please make sure you're familiar with the scoring rules, because any submissions made that violate these rules will be removed. Like always, the judges can be reached through the WikiCup talk pages, on their talk page, or over IRC with any issues concerning anything tied to the Cup. We will keep in contact with you via weekly newsletters; if you do not want to receive them, please remove yourself from the list here. Conversely, if a non-WikiCup participant wishes to receive the newsletters, they may add themselves to that list. Well, enough talk- get writing! Your submission's page is located here. Details on how to submit your content is located here, so be sure to check that out! Once content has been recognized, it can be added to your submissions page, from which our bot will update the main score table. Remember that only articles worked on and nominated during the competition are eligible for points. Have fun, and good luck!

DYK for List of forty-plus point games by Kobe Bryant

Updated DYK query On January 13, 2010, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article List of forty-plus point games by Kobe Bryant, which you created or substantially expanded. You are welcome to check how many hits your article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check ) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000.

I noticed that you recently expanded the List of 2008–09 NBA season transactions. Awhile ago I also worked on that article but that was kinda abandoned for a while.

WikiCup 2010 January newsletter

We are half way through round one of the WikiCup. We've had some shakeups regarding late entries, flag changes and early dropouts, but the competition is now established- there will be no more flag changes or new competitors. Congratulations to Hungary Sasata (submissions), our current leader, who, at the time of writing, has more listed points than Pennsylvania Hunter Kahn (submissions) and New Orleans TonyTheTiger (submissions) (second and third place respectively) combined. A special well done also goes to Isle of Man Fetchcomms (submissions)- his artcle Jewel Box (St. Louis, Missouri) was the first content to score points in the competition.

Around half of competitors are yet to score. Please remember to submit content soon after it is promoted, so that the judges are able to review entries. 64 of the 149 current competitors will advance to round 2- if you currently have no points, do not worry, as over half of the current top 64 have under 50 points. Everyone needs to get their entries in now to guarantee their places in round 2! If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, by email or on IRC. Good luck!

Banned/suspended players

Well, I'm not sure. In normal usage, "suspension" implies a temporary dismissal, so it wouldn't be the same as a permanent ban. But I don't know how the NBA differentiates between the two terms.

It might be easier for you to focus on suspensions for on-court incidents. That way, you wouldn't have to worry about the druggies, or the guys who gambled in college. I can't think of any player who was permanently banned for an on-court incident. Not even Kermit Washington. Zagalejo^^^ 05:41, 7 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
