Edit to Michael Jordan article
editAre you saying that once an article achieves FA status that it can't be improved by further edits? Duke53 | Talk 02:35, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
- Not at all. I wasn't clear on what exactly you were referring to when stating, see Marion Jones' talk page. Your edit summary was a bit ambiguous. If you are looking to change the entire opening, it would be best to discuss first. Zodiiak 03:09, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
- My edit summary was not in the least ambiguous; apparently many editors feel that the mention of a person's university affiliation has no business being in the lead of an article. Just trying for some consistency here. Duke53 | Talk 03:38, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
- "See Marion Jones talk page; apparently this is the accepted format." The talk page has 5 subsections with various matters and discussions on it; the edit was unclear that you were referring directly to the inclusion of the University. Personally, I do not see a reason why you were not allowed to include Marion Jone's college affiliation in the lead. However, MJ's case is much stronger since it is countlessly mentioned throughout his career; from the origins of his "clutch" capabilities to his establishment of players in his new organizations (traded for stackhouse [UNC alum]), etc. Zodiiak 04:16, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
- Since the edit I'd made to the Michael Jordan article was merely deleting the mention of his university affiliation it should have been very clear which discussion at Talk:Marion Jones was relevant. Duke53 | Talk 04:34, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
- An entire paragraph was moved in the wiki edit and multiple sentences were highlighted diff in red. The page is monitored aggressively for vandals and lead changes. Edit summaries are not only for listing reasons for changes, but also to describe the changes made. Zodiiak 02:54, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

- Zodiiak is right. Jordan spent a couple of years in college playing basketball and achieved a number of things as a college basketball player. Quite a bit of the body of the article is devoted to that. As the lead is a summary of the article, the mention of where he played his college basketball is unavoidable. It is different if it was mentioned for no reason at all. Suppose this was an article about a notable college basketball player instead who is/was not in the NBA -- what then? Is it wrong to mention which college he played for? Chensiyuan 07:04, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
I'm about to get a picture of Hak on Wikipedia and then I'm going to submit it for review for Good Article status. Any other suggestions before I do so? Thanks again. Chengwes 15:04, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
- I'll give it a read tomorrow and let you know -- Thanks! Zodiiak 02:55, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
- OK. Just let me know when you read it! Chengwes 15:16, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
- Ok, I read through it. It needs some copyediting and maybe less sections. I'll chime in a bit and see if I can help with the copyediting. Zodiiak 05:38, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
- OK. Just let me know when you read it! Chengwes 15:16, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
Barkley
editNo prob, let me know if you've got another project in mind. Maybe LeBron James? I took my eyes off that for a while due to some crazy people having crazy ideas, but I've returned to hawk over it lol. Chensiyuan (talk) 03:14, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
- Yeah, I was planning on working on that one as well. I pretty much drifted as well, after putting in countless hours fixing it. But, it seems like a good project to work on =) Zodiiak (talk) 03:16, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
Kobe Bryant nickname
editIn Canada, most canadian sportscasters used the nickname Kobra for Kobe Bryant. I consider you not removing it as a "fannote" since people actually know him as Kobra. ~~Annoyomous24~~ (talk) 09:57, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
- It's not published anywhere in the states, and is not common. Therefore, it is a fan note. Zodiiak (talk) 10:00, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
- Well the English Wikipedia isn't all USA, it's the English version of Wikipedia, and I know it is rarely used but it's still a nickname. ~~Annoyomous24~~ (talk) 00:35, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
- Review: Verifiability Zodiiak (talk) 05:43, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
- This is the closest proof that I found. I proved to myself that Kobra is not an offical nickname for Kobe Bryant but it's still used in the public [1] ~~Annoyomous24~~ (talk) 21:35, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
- It still looks like it's just a fan note, but thanks for taking the time to research. Zodiiak (talk) 21:39, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

MJ Steaks
editDid you click on the link? Is he really into steaks now... Chensiyuan (talk) 02:10, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
- It looks like an advertisement. I'm not even sure if it's officially sponsored by MJ. If it is, it needs to be cited from reliable source to back up the claim. Otherwise, it's irresponsible for Wiki to allow such an article/link on here. Zodiiak (talk) 02:11, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
I was just wondering, who has the most points in a qarter and a half? Wilt Chamberlain? ~~Annoyomous24~~ (talk) 21:37, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
- Most points is Wilt with 59 in 1969 and Quarter is George Gervin with 33 in 1978. Zodiiak (talk) 21:41, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
- Thank you for clearing things up with that situation.~~Annoyomous24~~ (talk) 17:23, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
Barkley's height
editThat doesn't make Barkley looking close to 6'4" because he stands beside two actors who are around 6'3" in height. So Barkley looks at least two inches taller than them. Other websites describe Barkley being 6'5" in height. See google for that. D@rk talk 16:55, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
- I changed my edit to 6Ft 4 again but I'm telling you, Barkley's height as 6'4" is undermeasured. D@rk talk 17:14, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
- I understand your concerns and I support anything that is noted by a reputable source. So long as you have a valid source that can trump any of the previous sources, I will fully support it. Unfortunately, a picture does not validate any claim. Zodiiak (talk) 01:33, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Kobe Bryant
editPlease!! Do not terrorize Kobe Bryant anymore. The 'ASSAULT' case has nothing to do with his "Basketball Career". Dwilso (talk) 08:30, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
- How long have you been on Wikipedia? How many good articles or featured articles have you written? I am not "terrorizing" the article, or whatever you may want to call it. To insert the controversy in the lead is mandatory by wikipedia guidelines, please read Wikipedia:LEAD. Zodiiak (talk) 02:33, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
- User:TonyTheTiger continues to vandalize this page. He has reverted since you last set it straight. Please see to it that it is restored and I highly suggest warning him of being blocked upon future reversions against Wikipedia policy.--Illadelph halflife (talk) 03:16, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
- The person above is the vandal or sockpuppet.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 11:16, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
- That may or may not be true. However, there is no reason for you to continue to remove the sexual assault controversy in Kobe Bryant's article and then attempt to mask your edit by falsely claiming you are updating the Lakers current roster [2]. WP:Lead clearly states, "[the lead] should establish context, summarize the most important points, explain why the subject is interesting or notable, and briefly describe its notable controversies, if there are any." Zodiiak (talk) 12:28, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

James
editNice try threatning me with the 3 revert rule, but it won't work, since you reverted the article as well.
However, let's try to figure this out another way. Please tell me, what makes you believe that there is such thing as an "Official NBA weight" for players? Do you actually believe the NBA weighs its players every year? --Bender235 (talk) 16:21, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
- I'm not threatning -- you reverted the article twice today, a third on the same edit makes 3. Charles Barkley for years said they incorrectly noted his height at 6 6" but he's actually 6 4"-- we nonetheless record his height at 6 4" because we cannot take a players word for it (how do we know they are not exaggerating? How do we know James was not exaggerating?). I think at most, it garners a mention in the article, maybe a note with his quote after he had the 50 pt 10 asst 8 board game in MSG? Zodiiak (talk) 18:06, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
- Why exactly should James be exaggerating? Who else should know better how tall he is and how much he weighs than James himself? Again, the NBA does not weigh players on a regular basis; they're doing it once: at the NBA Pre-Draft camp. Now if LeBron says: "No, the official data is now wrong, I gained some weight," why should we doubt it? If he'd be quoted saying his birthplace wasn't Akron, Ohio but Kingston, Jamaica, who are we not to trust him? Who is supposed to know it better? --Bender235 (talk) 23:26, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
- I'm not going to go back and forth with this. Measurements/Statistics are completely different from a location. He also said he's 6 9" -- which means he would have gained an inch. The NBA routinely updates a players stats at the end of the year. Last year, LeBron came in at 240lbs and was updated in 2008 at 250. If his official weight / height is then changed by the NBA then we should change it. Until then, it's best if we go what's on Record not by heresay. Zodiiak (talk) 23:45, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

- Do you realize that ESPN (AP material) also lists James at 6-9? [3] --Bender235 (talk) 12:22, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
- His listed height is still 6'8'', source. I don't really care for arguing. If you want to change it, knock yourself out. If it continues to be reverted by other users, then I highly recommend you actually reach consensus at the Talkpage before engaging in edit wars. Leave me out of it.

LeBron James
edit- Ladies, gentlemen, and other Wikipedians of good cheer: Might I suggest some informal mediation or a third opinion here? -- JeffBillman (talk) 17:32, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
- I agree, but I have said this for the last month or so and despite the overall consensus at the LeBron James talk page, the user continues to revert edits. Zodiiak (talk) 17:44, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. Tiptoety talk 17:47, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks I welcome this warning and ask that you review the LeBron James page and observe how the user has ignored these rules for the past month and nothing has been done. I've been editing on Wikipedia for over a year and have never seen such blatant disregard. It's unbelievable. Zodiiak (talk) 17:50, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
- Okay, well the best way to stop the edit warring and violations of 3RR is to not take part in them yourself, instead start (or take part in) a discussion on the talk page, and if you feel someone has violated 3RR (which might I add can only be violated on the fourth revert) then report them to WP:AN3 or request protection of the page. Let me know if there is any other way for me to be of assistance. Cheers, Tiptoety talk 17:53, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks, I've tried to begin a discussion on the talkpage for the past month. And despite overall consensus agreeing with the original content, which the user reverted, he continued to ignore the rules. We have begun a new section on the issue and hopefully this issue will become resolved. It's ridiculously petty, but it's the overall wikipedia principle regarding verifiability and mutual consensus. Thanks. Zodiiak (talk) 17:55, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
- I can understand your frustration, might I recommend requesting informal mediation? Tiptoety talk 17:58, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for pointing me to this, i'm putting in a request now! Zodiiak (talk) 17:59, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
- Sure, no problem. At this time I think informal mediation is the way to go, but if that proves to not work and the parties involved continue to edit war that I would recommend taking it to a more formal process. Cheers, Tiptoety talk 18:02, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
- Will do, thanks again! Zodiiak (talk) 18:04, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Mediation
editHi Zodiac! I've noticed your entry for mediation on the article about LeBron James, and I'm interested in it. I will be putting a couple of questions on the case page, if you could answer them we could get this whole thing underway and hopefully resolved soon. Thanks! Kntrabssi (talk) 22:04, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks, I've responded there =) Zodiiak (talk) 06:29, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
- Hi Zodiiak! Firstly, I apologize for being gone for so long. I didn't receive a notification on my talk page that you guys had responded so I sort of drifted off I guess! Anyway, I've offered a compromise at the page. Take a look! Kntrabssi (talk) 09:37, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Barkley book.jpg}
editThank you for uploading Image:Barkley book.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check:
- That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's escription page for each article the image is used in.
- That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.
Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our 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.

Last month's Collaboration of the Month, Magic Johnson was a great success. A total of 560 edits were made to the article during the month of May, and the article was eventually nominated as a Featured Article Candidate. Although the article was not promoted, it was significantly improved through the work of many editors. This month's Collaboration of the Month is Steve Nash. Although this is article is already a Good Article, it still can be improved. In particular, all prose should conform to Featured Article standards, all statements should be verified, and the text should be in a neutral point of view. If there is anything you can do to improve the article, then please help out.
The Collaborator of the Month is given to the editor with the most number of substantial, beneficial edits to the article chosen as the Collaboration of the Month. This month's Collaborator of the Month award goes to Chensiyuan (talk · contribs). Although he had previously helped Magic Johnson to became a Good article, he made literally hundreds of edits during the month of May. For his contributions, he is rewarded with the NBA Collaborator of the Month Award. However, all beneficial edits made by any editor was a help.

The Reboot of Wikiproject New Jersey has certainly stirred up some new activity at the project. Discussion on several improvements and new initiatives have been going on at the talk page. There has been an involved discussion regarding our 118 unassessed articles, especially those on municipalities. The current goal is to review and assess all 566 New Jersey muncipality articles by September 30. A suggestion has been made to intiate Wikipedia Takes New Jersey to begin clearing the large backlog of articles needing photos. Let's all grab our cameras and head out into the vast wilds of the Garden State. Town Halls, High Schools, Historic Places - every article deserves a picture. |

New Jersey Collaboration news | New WPNJ members | ||
WPNJ member Mm40 has volunteered to coordinate a new WPNJ Collaboration project. It's been a while since we used the NJCOTW and new volunteers are needed. Join the discussion to volunteer.
Battle of Trenton was recently proposed as a Featured Article candidate. It was not promoted, but has now been nominated for A-Class review through the Military History WikiProject. Take a look at their A-Class FAQ. As we need to set up our own process for reviewing A-Class articles, it may be worth watching the process. |

Reboot progress report | Help Wanted | ||
The redesign has been well received. There are still some things left to do. This newsletter was one big check mark off the list. Hopefully this can be continued on a regular basis. There are literally thousands of articles in Category:New Jersey that have not been tagged as part of the project, and stub sorting hasn't been run in 10 months. We will need to identify some friendly bot operators to help with these projects. An outreach department (which includes the newsletter) needs to be formalized. Creating an invitation template for easy placement on userpages will also be part of that effort.
There are lots of best practices described at the WikiProject Council with ideas of how to make our project more responsive, welcoming, active, and effective. Task forces? Peer review? Other ideas welcome! |

Editor's Notes | |||
I just wanted to say that the response to my bold makeover of WPNJ has been gratifying, but nothing will improve the project as much as more activity, and that means more members. There are lots of things to do in this new setup, and everyone with an interest should be able to find a way to contribute to the collaboration. I want to thank you all for the patience, the appreciation, and the effort. - Jim Miller | |||

Dwyane Wade question
editLike you I noticed Wade's article had no college section, so I started adding it in. Right now there's no mention his of being All-America in 2002 or his conference POY Awards. I just thought more info about Wade's collegiate awards might fit well in the article. Did you leave it out for a reason? [[D-free]] (talk) 16:13, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
- Nope -- feel free to add it back in. If not, i'll add it in. I was just confused as to why the good article version of it's college section was completely removed. I'm all for adding to it. Please feel free to expand. Zodiiak (talk) 04:03, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

The Maryland WikiProject has put together a great chart comparing the growth of several state WikiProjects, including WPNJ. Take a look at the chart to see how the growth of WPNJ compares to some of our peer projects. Please remember to place the {{WikiProject New Jersey}} tag on the talk pages of any New Jersey related articles you create or come across. You can also add the new articles page to your watchlist. Some updates have been made to the NJ Portal, but much more needs to be done. If a few volunteers can put together Featured Article summmaries, we can automate rotating the portal content. The same can be done for DYK items. Please take a look and see if you can assist. |

The Wikipedia 0.7 project team has chosen the New Jersey related articles that will be included in the next downloadable version of Wikipedia. You can review the list of selected WPNJ articles, check the articles tagged for cleanup, or nominate additional articles for inclusion.
Selection is an automated process based on article assessments. To help avoid vandalism and POV concerns, specific versions of articles can be tagged for inclusion in the downloadable release. See the New Jersey section of the bot results to recommend a production version. The process ends on October 20, and then a bot will select an appropriate version if none has been recommended. |

Both Jon Corzine and The Sopranos were promoted to Good Article status in the past month. No WikiProject New Jersey articles were promoted to Featured article status. Battle of Trenton was not listed as a Featured Article, and may need more editors to complete the remaining work to be promoted. Also, in an item that was missed last month, Thomas Edison was delisted as a Good Article in July.
The WPNJ Assessment Drive is ongoing. Please help assess all of the articles about places in New Jersey. There are currently 118 articles that have not been assessed. |

Editor's Notes | |||
Fall has arrived, and with it will come a rush of new Wikipedians. Inviting new editors to join WPNJ is easy to do, and can help us improve our New Jersey articles. Keep an eye out for editors who work on NJ articles who can help the project. The Wikipedia Release version project is in its final stages for the next version. Take a look at the article lists, cleanup where you can, and nominate articles that should be included on the DVD version of WP. Lets make sure that those who end up with a downloaded copy of WP get solid articles about New Jersey. - Jim Miller | |||

The bot runs daily, so add the new Article Alerts page to your watchlist, or just check the main project page to see the updates. See the Article Alerts project page for details on how the bot works and which processes it covers. | The following articles may be in need of attention:

Seems like a pretty light month in terms of activity at WPNJ. Personally, your editor was doing a lot of travelling and went on a wiki-free vacation for nine days. Time to dive back in and create some new NJ articles. - Jim Miller See me | Touch me | |||
