[edit] Edit warring

Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia under the three-revert rule, which states that nobody may revert a single page more than three times in 24 hours. (Note: this also means editing the page to reinsert an old edit. If the effect of your actions is to revert back, it qualifies as a revert.) Thank you. --W.marsh 03:05, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Blocked

You have been blocked for 24 hours for violating 3RR on Roger Clemens. In addition, edits like these are rather disturbing. We are writing an encyclopedia here. Wikipedia is not a chat room. Punctuation, grammar, spelling, they all matter. When readers come to Wikipedia they expect professionally-written articles. Take a look around at all of the other articles; they're written in proper formal English, not netspeak. Thank you for understanding. --Cyde↔Weys 03:13, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wilt Chamberlain‎

Undid your Wilt Chamberlain‎ edit for being too point-of-view. You also unjustifiably removed a relevant factoid, which I have restored. Don't thank me, cheers. --Downwards 03:59, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

I did the same. I agree with your point of view, but I don't get to put mine in Wikipedia either. Love and peace,--BillFlis 20:29, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
You keep adding the same POV material. So you got it off another website, it's still POV, it's just their POV. Stop adding it, it reads fine like it was. Also, concerning Wilt's and Jordan's career scoring averages, yes, most sources round to tenths so they're both listed as 30.1. However, if you're going to compare them head to head, you're entitled to compute them a little more accurately, and hundredths of a point is enough to show the minuscule lead of Jordan. Please discuss things on the Discussion page before making any more changes of this type. They are only going to get reverted, and it won't be by me.--BillFlis 20:37, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
When you write "He was basketball's unstoppable force, the most awesome offensive force the game has ever seen and argubly basketball's greatest player...", that is called "point of view", somebody's opinion. It's fine for a fan site, or even the NBA's site, or even a book, but it's not what goes into an encyclopedia, which is based on facts. That is what I objected to. As to 30.06, if you divide WC's total points 31,419 by his games played 1045, you get 30.0617. Depending on how you round it off, you get 30.1 (NBA's usual way) or 30.06 (only done for purposes of argument, to compare with MJ). If you do the same thing for MJ, you divide 32,292 by 1072, you get 30.124; rounding that gets you 30.1 or 30.12. MJ's 30.12 is a hair above WC's 30.06. They do the same thing in baseball: two guys are listed as hitting .350, but A actually hit .35001 and B hit .34999; A wins, it's not a tie.--BillFlis 11:00, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
