You're adding a lot of vaguely notable or useful trivia; at the very least, you could cite your sources. --Golbez 22:50, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My information

Believe it or not, the information I have compiled has come from the Trivial Pursuit Millennium Edition PC Game. All the information I have added to Wikipedia is legitimate information. --Mr. Brain 23:41, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

I didn't say it wasn't; but you still must cite your sources. --Golbez 23:58, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Nellie Ball

I don't see anything wrong with saying "Nellie Ball has a fair share of opponents" as opposed to your version ("Nellie Ball has more than a fair share of opponents"). It seems that you're just trying to overemphasis the opinion that Nellie Ball does not work. Can we please just stick to the former version. Next time you change it please explain why. Thank you.

[edit] My apologies, I'm truly sorry

Sorry about that, my mistake. It just seemed to me at the time that a vast majority of basketball purists have criticized Nellie Ball. Incidentally, though, I must tell you that I originally wrote "Nellie Ball has a fair share of opponents," and at the time it didn't seem strong enough. Now that I look back, it did seem to overstate the case. What I wrote about Nellie Ball is true, though(I did contribute a lot on the article), especially the part about the offense's deficencies and other facts about Nelson and the offense. I ask that this information not be deleted from the article.Mr. Brain (talk) 04:43, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Hey, no problem. I appreciate your work on the article, actually. I have seen all your additions though the history of the page. Yes, all of the information you added is indeed correct. One way to ensure that your info does not get deleted is by citing your sources. Also see WP:RS. Cheers, Bash Kash (talk) 05:15, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
