September 2021

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 LaVar Ball, 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, MOS:OVERSECTION discourages creating short sections. There's little to write about his football career, let alone for each team. —Bagumba (talk) 15:02, 28 September 2021 (UTC)

October 2021

Please do not use styles that are nonstandard, unusual, inappropriate or difficult to understand in articles, as you did in Zaza Pachulia. There is a Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Specifically per MOS:RANGE, use an en dash for a range of years. —Bagumba (talk) 06:23, 2 October 2021 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to use disruptive, inappropriate or hard-to-read formatting, as you did at Kevin Durant, you may be blocked from editing. There is a Wikipedia Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. A reminder about MOS:OVERSECTION and mechanically creating a new header for each season—Bagumba (talk) 01:24, 18 October 2021 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you make disruptive edits to Wikipedia contrary to the Manual of Style, as you did at Chris Paul. A one-sentence subsection for 2021–22 is excessive. —Bagumba (talk) 00:35, 19 October 2021 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for November 8

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Ron Artest III, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Power forward. 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.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 05:59, 8 November 2021 (UTC)

Big3

Please stop adding Big3's playing or coaching stints to the basketball personnel's infoboxes. The consensus is not to list anything Big3-related in the infobox. – Sabbatino (talk) 17:15, 10 November 2021 (UTC)

Subsections

I just undid some of your changes to Aleem Ford. Subsections exist to break up longer articles into more readable chunks. For a stub like this (basically 3-4 sentences) they aren’t appropriate yet. Rikster2 (talk) 15:35, 18 December 2021 (UTC)

10-Day COVID contracts

Please confirm that players have not been re-signed before assuming they are no longer with the team. In today's game notes (link) it is conformed that Aleem Ford, Hassani Gravett and Admiral Schofield re-signed today before their first 10-days expired. Rikster2 (talk) 17:46, 27 December 2021 (UTC)

Antonio Brown

The year provided in the infobox is for season not calendar year. He was released during the 2021 season not the 2022 season.--Rockchalk717 18:01, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

Got it, sorry! Mandomanny313 (talk) 18:04, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

January 2022

Thank you for your contributions. One of your recent contributions to Gerald Green has been reverted or removed, because it contains speculative or unconfirmed information about a future event. Please only add material about future events if it is verifiable, based on a reliable source. You have been told more than once to stop adding speculative or unsourced content. – Sabbatino (talk) 15:20, 7 January 2022 (UTC)

When a player leaves a team mid-Season

Don’t add a second link to the same season, change the coding in the existing season entry. For example, if an NBA player is traded today, their entry should not say {{nbay|2021|start}}–{{nbay|2021|end}}, it should be {{nbay|2021|full=y}}, which will look the same in the article but not create a double link. Same is true of any league, the same season shouldn’t be linked twice in the same entry. Rikster2 (talk) 02:25, 10 January 2022 (UTC)

January 2022 (continued)

Hello, I'm Call me when you get the chance. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Killing Daniel, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Call me when you get the chance (talk) 02:39, 10 January 2022 (UTC)

genuine: why revert a cited reference to his Kings tenure ending? La rodman (talk) 13:57, 23 January 2022 (UTC)

Removal of talk page comments

Please do not re-add comments on user talk pages after the editor removed them. Editors can remove comments and content on their own talk pages, see WP:BLANKING for more information. -- LuK3 (Talk) 16:47, 23 January 2022 (UTC)

Infobox highlights

I removed your addition of the Rising Stars Challenge to Andrew Wiggins' infobox. WP:NBAHIGHLIGHTS details what is generally listed.—Bagumba (talk) 02:48, 28 January 2022 (UTC)

February 2022

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at LaMelo Ball, you may be blocked from editing. It's disappointing that after the discussion about WP:RSBREAKING sources, you still used an old source from January 30—that was ultimately wrong—when the actual announcement was was due shortly thereafter your edit. —Bagumba (talk) 03:52, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for March 10

Edit summaries; deletions

Please remember to use edit summaries. This is especially important when deleting text. And even moreso when deleting text that is supported by appropriate references.

You also seem to be primarily engaging in deletions, of RS supported text, without any explanation, that appears quite appropriate. Even reverting editors who disagree with your deletions. I think that in doing so you are doing damage to the Project. So would ask that you please desist.--2603:7000:2143:8500:1C9A:BB7F:A5F9:95DA (talk) 22:22, 11 March 2022 (UTC)

March 2022

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia without adequate explanation, as you did at Lonzo Ball, you may be blocked from editing. —Bagumba (talk) 02:00, 12 March 2022 (UTC)

Disruptive deletions

As you have with many NBA players, you're deleting already confirmed info and transactions, such as Kris Dunn for example, who is already a Portland Trail Blazer https://www.nba.com/blazers/forwardcenter/report-eubanks-dunn-signed-10-days-due-injuries

Please try not to undo any appropriate edits in the future, I see you already have a few warnings, I wouldn't want to see you banned. MrSplashman77 (talk) 11:55, 14 March 2022 (UTC)

NBA.com posts reports of stuff that isn't official all the time. You're in the wrong here, buddy. Just remember that for next time. Mandomanny313 (talk) 13:45, 14 March 2022 (UTC)

Yeah, it doesn not appear that way from all your warnings, clearly the mods are not happy with you. I suggest you to try and improve, expand Wikipedia, instead of restricting it. Try to find outdated pages, non-existing pages, and put your effort into bringing those up-to-date, instead of deleting confirmed information on already fresh pages.

Welcome!

The Wikipede and the Picture Tutorial. (image credit)

Welcome!

Hello, Mandomanny313, and welcome to Wikipedia! I have noticed that you are fairly new! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. I also see that some of your recent edits, such as the ones to the page Kris Dunn, show an interest in the use of images and/or photos on Wikipedia.

Did you know that ...

• ...Wikipedia has a very stringent image use policy?
• ...most images from Flickr, online news websites, and other web sources are copyrighted?
• ...Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously?
• ...freely-licensed images should be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, a central location for images where they can be used on all Wikipedia projects?
• ...we recommend that new users use our "files for upload" process – at least until you get the hang of things?

If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{Help me}} on your talk page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Contributing to Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Help pages
• Tutorial
• Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Questions or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome!  —Bagumba (talk) 03:29, 15 March 2022 (UTC)

Getty Images are not free. You can't upload them and say they have Creative Commons licensing, when they don't. It'd be good if you could revert your recent image changes.—Bagumba (talk) 03:32, 15 March 2022 (UTC)

Flickr images

I saw that you posted on another user's talk page about photographs from Flickr. Keep in mind that not all Flickr images are accepted. For example, this image has an "all rights reserved" license (plus it's taken from Getty Images), and [1] and [2] have a license that does not allow commercial use.

The following Flickr licenses are allowed: CC-BY, CC-BY-SA, CC-Zero and (in most cases), public domain. The following are not: any license that has "NC" or "ND" (non-commercial and non-derivative) and © (all rights reserved). In addition, some Flickr users post other people's copyrighted work under free licenses. This is known as Flickrwashing or license laundering and is also not allowed.

I know this is a lot, but hope it's helpful.Adeletron 3030 (talk • edits) 19:22, 15 March 2022 (UTC)

Unexplained removal of sourced text

You again removed large amounts of sourced text without explanation. At a minimum, please put an edit summary of what you are trying to achieve. Generally, editors should try to WP:PRESERVE text instead of outright deletion. I could see removing trivial stat lines with no context on why they are significant, but the text you delete often removes analysis cited to secondary sources.—Bagumba (talk) 07:41, 20 March 2022 (UTC)

April 2022

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced or poorly sourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Nigel Pearson. Mattythewhite (talk) 22:25, 15 April 2022 (UTC)

Advice on "blowout win/loss"

Just an advice. You should refrain from using the formation "blowout win/loss", because it is unencyclopedic and it also suggests that you might be tied to AGreatPhoenixSunsFan (talk · contribs) who abusively added this formation everywhere. – Sabbatino (talk) 14:15, 19 April 2022 (UTC)

Records sections

I see you have lots of warnings for content removal, but consider your editing somewhat constructive. However, you have removed a couple of records sections that are completely sourced in the main text. Thanks for paying attention to Kendrick Nunn. I have tried to restore some content. Have a look. Also tried to rework Nik Stauskas.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 12:43, 8 May 2022 (UTC)

• I have also largely restored the Duncan Robinson article.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 12:57, 8 May 2022 (UTC)

Reliable sources

Please don't cite the IMDb or copy its data into Wikipedia. It's user-generated and thus not a reliable source. It's no different than citing "my friend said so". NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 02:07, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

Disruptive editing

Look, you've got a page full of warnings. Now you're adding unsourced genres. You need to read what people are saying on your talk page and start following Wikipedia's rules. How many "final warning" messages do you think you're going to get? NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 02:38, 29 June 2022 (UTC)

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you.

September 2022

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced or poorly sourced material to Wikipedia. User:NinjaRobotPirate cautioned you at ANI about unsourced content. This is not acceptable. Magnolia677 (talk) 16:43, 29 September 2022 (UTC)

Hi there. I tweaked your edit at Danny Green (basketball). The score of the winning team is usually listed first (e.g. Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_American_football#Score_order_in_articles_about_players, perhaps its unique to American sports). Regards. —Bagumba (talk) 06:42, 6 February 2023 (UTC)

NBA stats

Hello @Mandomanny313. I have noticed that you make many edits to NBA-related articles, including adding and/or updating career statistics to player articles. There are an abundance of NBA player pages that are completely void of stat tables detailing their NBA stats.

I was reaching out because, if you happen to be interested in generating stat tables in articles without such, then I assembled this list of BAA, NBA, and ABA player pages without stats tables. As well, this list is a WNBA equivalent. I have a goal of the English Wikipedia having stat tables for all such player articles, and if that is something you are interested in helping out with, while removing entries from these two lists as you post their respective stats (no pressure, of course), that would be highly appreciated.

Thank you, and feel free to contact me, help with the lists, or give feedback at any time. Mungo Kitsch (talk) 06:54, 5 March 2023 (UTC)

@Mungo Kitsch Heck yeah dude. I will do some of these whenever I have time. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Mandomanny313 (talk) 16:28, 5 March 2023 (UTC)

March 2023

Please do not attack other editors, as you did at Nerlens Noel. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Specifically, your edit summary here —Bagumba (talk) 01:42, 7 March 2023 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Sumanuil. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Isaiah Mobley, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. - Sumanuil. _{(talk to me)} 01:40, 8 March 2023 (UTC)

@Sumanuil I included the source in the edit summary of my edit, so I technically did add a source. You did make a mistake. Mandomanny313 (talk)

That doesn't count. You have to include it in the actual article. So, no, I did not make a mistake. - Sumanuil. _{(talk to me)} 22:02, 8 March 2023 (UTC)

Unexplained adjustments to spacing and adding certifications

Please avoid making purely cosmetic edits like this and this. Adding unnecessary spacing, especially when you haven't explained yourself or why it's an improvement, should not be done. Furthermore, please stop adding certifications to discographies for countries that do not have charts listed on the pages you're adding them to. Thank you. Ss112 04:21, 31 May 2023 (UTC)

Also, if you are able to edit discographies without using Visual Edit, can I recommend you do so? Your frequent edits to discographies are messing up how they are formatted and making the formatting and spacing inconsistent. Ss112 05:03, 31 May 2023 (UTC)

• Manny, I find it strange that you claim to care about "consistency" here, but as I've just pointed out, using Visual Edit destroys consistency in discography wikitables, as shown here, here and here. All the other chart columns are listed horizontally and then your use of Visual Edit adds new rows on a new line below all the others. If you care about consistency, I'm asking you to please stop using Visual Edit. You edit sometimes without it, and I'm sure you're experienced enough to know your way around wikitable HTML that you don't need it. Thank you. Ss112 08:09, 1 June 2023 (UTC)

Do i have to? And let me point out that I changed the margins of the chart positions to look right when a user reads the page. However, the chart entries look the same with or without formatting. Mandomanny313 (talk) 17:24, 1 June 2023 (UTC)

Miniscule changes to margins don't "look right", they're barely noticeable to readers. The changes are indisputably cosmetic and don't affect any real sort of functionality. And I can't force you to do anything. I said if you could edit without using Visual Edit, as you claim to care about consistency in terms of HTML formatting, then please do. Also, what makes the Empire soundtracks any more special than any other album Timbaland produced or served as executive producer on? If we don't list any of the other albums he only produced and was not credited as an artist on, we shouldn't list those either. Ss112 02:01, 2 June 2023 (UTC)

• I'd appreciate it if you'd reply here rather than start new threads on my talk page accusing me of "stalking" you. What pages am I "stalking" exactly? ODB's discography? I'm not going to deny I've looked at your contributions page—obviously I have, but I've been an editor on Wikipedia since 2006 and have plenty of discographies on my watchlist, most of which I edited long before you decided in April you were going to start exclusively editing music articles when it seems before that all you did was update basketball statistics. Naturally when you're causing formatting inconsistencies across dozens of articles in the last month I'm going to message you to ask if you could not use Visual Edit and then look to see + fix up what you've been leaving behind. Don't claim to care about formatting consistencies then cause plenty of inconsistencies. Also, if you're actively expanding a section or a whole article, Template:In use exists for this reason.
