[edit] Vasileios Spanoulis

Someone with an anonymous IP is vandalizing the Vassilis Spanoulis page, I tried talking to them and they say "they are a Houston Rockets fan and that POS player will be vandalized." Anyway the person made an edit, and keeps reverting all edits back to their page. He deleted things saying they are not sourced, but I looked and everything he deleted is sourced. Anyway, I come into this AFTER this has gone on, I made some edits that were corrections to things I actually fixed, and this fool reverts back to his edit, nothing to do with edits I made (like I said in first place his "edit" is deleting sourced info he apparently does not want on there - from what I see anything that may makes Spanoulis look good), anyway what he is doing is because of this, if any new person comes in to edit the page their edit gets deleted, because he just reverts the page back to his edit. Like I corrected a team name and player height and made them to what they actually are and sourced this, this edit gets erased because he just reverts. Is there anyone that monitors the basketball sections for vandalizing from idiots like this? Ogmion Ogmios 13:45, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

I don't think so, not as far as the European players concern. Ask Dale Arnett, maybe he should know.--ArnoldPettybone (talk) 20:08, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Euroleague

Hello! Very good work! I hope you'll go on making articles about each year's Euroleague. - Sthenel 23:23, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

I'll do my best. I've already started the article about Euroleague 2005-06. But I don't have sources prior to 1992 and I love to see them in wikipedia. - Sthenel 23:33, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks! I have to make the articles about the groups etc. I think that the box should include all the competitions up to now instead of having two different boxes. - Sthenel 16:44, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

OK. But the links to each season in the article of Euroleague should be put to the years not in a separate link such as "details". - Sthenel 20:42, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Piraeus belongs to greater Athens. See Athens article. - Sthenel 10:47, 8 June 2007 (UTC)


In the articles FIBA European Champions Cup 1957-58 to FIBA European Champions Cup 1964-65 you use <small> for references, but you don't close the block with </small>, which effects (screws) the style on some parts of the articles. --Sporti 13:29, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Look at what I added here. --Sporti 16:29, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Aleksey Savrasenko

I removed it because he is not Greek, nor had he ever Greek citizenship, as far as I know. Where does it come from, that he is Greek?--Kostisl 22:31, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Phinehas edits

You recently moved Phinehas to Pinhas, and then copied and pasted the content from Pinhas to Pinhas (disambiguation), and the content from Phinehas, son of Eleazar to Pinhas. First of all, page moves must be done with the "move" button. This is so that the article history will remain intact. If the desired location for an article already contains content, you must request that an administrator perform the move.

The second issue with these moves is that you have moved the English version of פינחס to a Hebrew transliteration. Since Wikipedia is an English encyclopedia, English naming conventions are used when they are well-established. In the case of Biblical figures, the King James Bible is usually considered to be authoritative.

Please keep these rules in mind when making future edits. Also, please do not make any more edits to Pinhas or Pinhas (disambiguation) until the page histories have been repaired. --Eliyak T·C 22:31, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

From my talk page:
I couldn't move Pinhas to a new page because that page name already existed as a disambiguation page, only without the disambiguation title. secondly, I didn't know about the king James bible thing. agreed. thirdly, the idiot who revised my version now made the Pinhas son of Eleazar version unaccessible. I personally think that every individual should have he's own article, no matter how short it is. That the reason I'm doing all of this.--ArnoldPettybone 22:39, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
As I said above, when you cannot move a page yourself, you must ask an administrator to do it. Cutting & pasting is not an option. --Eliyak T·C 22:45, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Real Madrid Baloncesto logo

The Fair Use rationale for the Real Madrid logo states that the logo must not be used in a decorative capacity. By using it on the FIBA European Champions' Cup pages, you are not using it Fairly, and as such you are breaching the copyright attached to the logo. Do not revert my edits again, or you will be reported. - PeeJay 23:49, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

However, the article is not exclusively about the Real Madrid Baloncesto team, and Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline recommends that logos only be used in educational articles about the entities the logos represent. Furthermore, a similarly-sized image of the flag of Spain would serve just as well. - PeeJay 00:19, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
But the Real Madrid logo doesn't illustrate the actual topic of the article. Sure, it illustrates who won the tournament, but it is decorative and serves no educational purpose. In actual fact, the logo does nothing to enhance the article. People are more likely to recognise the name "Real Madrid" than they are to recognise the logo. By the way, your comment about deleting flags is completely unfounded. Flags are not copyrightable, and are therefore not subject to Fair Use rules. The Real Madrid logos will not be reinstated to the articles, and that is final. Any action that goes against this will be reported. - PeeJay 00:45, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Oded Katash

I've (temporarily) removed him from List of people with heterochromia since no source indicating that he has the condition was provided. Do you have access to one? If so, please feel free to re-add him, with the source included this time. -Hit bull, win steak(Moo!) 23:37, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Non-English sources are fine, as long as they meet WP:RS. Just make sure that you indicate whatever the native language is when you add it to the list. -Hit bull, win steak(Moo!) 00:39, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
Nice work. That should be just fine. -Hit bull, win steak(Moo!) 01:16, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Alexander Volkov

Re your comments at Talk:Alexander Volkov (basketball): I was the one who started the article. All the Interwikis say that he played for Milan and Hapeol Holon, as does this page. Unfortunately, I don't have access to the main Eurobasket site, so I'd be interested in hearing which teams it says he actually played for. Thanks! Zagalejo 23:35, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Cool, thanks for the response. Zagalejo 00:37, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mila Kunis

The NNDB doesn't qualify as a reliable source, as described at WP:RS. As such, I've re-removed Kunis from the list. We need something more along the lines of a newspaper/magazine article or an interview, like all the other people on the list. -Hit bull, win steak(Moo!) 17:24, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Know anything about Dimitris Spanoulis?

His article is currently up for deletion. Since you seem to know about European basketball, it would be great if you could chime in. Zagalejo^ 01:51, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Dyntb.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Dyntb.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 05:44, 11 September 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:FIBA 2002 logo.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:FIBA 2002 logo.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

[edit] Krylatskoe Sport Palace

Thanks for the information. I created a stub on the arena. Patken4 02:18, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Greek in 1998 FIBA World Championship

I stumbled across 1998 FIBA World Championship and noticed that you added Greek to it while expanding it. Good job expanding it, but could you please translate it into English? Thanks--Thomas.macmillan (talk) 01:53, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] sr. wiki

I just send you message for anonymous users. It's a kind of welcome message and call for register on wiki. Best regards. --SasaStefanovic • 09:40, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] FIBA Euroleague 1992-93

Thank you! Yes of course you can move it. Please could you give me a source to know when the competition changed each name? - Sthenel (talk) 18:06, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Alexander Gomelsky

Could you please bring a link to him being Jewish? Gomelsky might also be be a Belorussian surname, since Gomel is Belarus, or Russian noble (Like Gumilev for example. Also means from Gomel, but it's a Russian noble family). Alot say it so your probably right, but having a link about it would be needed. P.S. Please continue this conversation on the talk page of the article about him. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.177.138.204 (talk) 18:55, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
