NBA Infobox

[edit]

Hey Bagumba, just thought I’d make you aware that the J. Walter Kennedy Citizenship Award is specifically listed on the exclusion list at WP:NBAEXCLUDE, but is still included at Template:Infobox basketball biography. GOAT Bones231012 (talk) 02:46, 18 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@GOAT Bones231012: You can be bold and update it at Template:Infobox basketball biography/doc. —Bagumba (talk) 03:10, 18 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
(talk page watcher) @GOAT Bones231012: I recently added that to WP:NBASTYLE as an assessment of rough consensus from multiple discussions. Good eye, and thanks for making things consistent around the NBA project. Left guide (talk) 21:16, 18 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Always precious

[edit]

Ten years ago, you were found precious. That's what you are, always. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:00, 27 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ace Bailey (basketball)

[edit]

Can we get another round of protection? IP Height vandalism returned as soon as the protection expired. Rikster2 (talk) 15:03, 4 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That latest IP has done similar edits to Bailey before. I warned them again. It's better to block a single offender, if needed, than applying protection. Warn them again, if needed, and you can let me known if it gets into block territory, or if other editors also add unsourced content.—Bagumba (talk) 15:10, 4 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Guideline and policy news

  • Following a request for comment, a new speedy deletion criterion, G15, has been enacted. It applies to pages generated by a large language model (LLM) without human review.
  • Following a request for comment, there is a new policy outlining the granting of permissions to view the IP addresses of temporary accounts. Temporary account deployment on the English Wikipedia is currently scheduled for September 2025, and editors can request access to the permission ahead of time. Admins are encouraged to keep an eye on the request page; there will likely be a flood of editors requesting the permission when they realize they can no longer see IP addresses.
