His page is great and the jersey sales were mentioned in his lead for awhile before someone deleted them. A players popularity is to be noted as well. Since it shows his marketability and being the face of his/her sport. If you don't like showing jersey sales thats fine but the page isn't being vandalized by showing them in the lead.

Yeah, originally I planned on taking a little break then I inherited some money so I quit my job and spent some time traveling. Now the money's gone so I've been spending more time at home and working full time again. Plus one of the biggest reasons I took a break was because I got tired of worrying that an article I put a lot of work into was going to go to shit, checking the watchlist every day etc. But I can see that most of the articles I worked on are just fine. Michael Jordan is just as good and probably even better than when I left, Hakeem is in mostly the same shape, Minority Report has some interesting new stuff, Matthew Cox is good, and all the Giants stuff is solid, a couple of Giants articles were de-listed from GA because of some new additions but its nothing I couldn't fix in like 3-4 hours. Don't know if I'll be as active as before but basically, I'll be taking a bunch of articles like MJ off my watchlist and not worrying about them. But the main reason I came back is because I did some reading while I was taking it easy, and A Confederacy of Dunces blew me away. I'll be doing a big overhaul on that article and John Kennedy Toole soon. Funny you gave me that message I was thinking that if I ever do decide to put those articles up for anything maybe you can help me out since my prose is probably better than when I started here but still isn't great. I don't plan on making either article super-long if that helps.
Anyway, I can see you're still going strong. I remember when I left you were starting articles for like everybody that ever played in the NBA. I was always thought that was impressively ambitious. Quadzilla99 (talk) 08:44, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

Ok, I'm ready for you to have a look. Ideally I'd like you to write the lead (I haven't touched that yet) and copy-edit/re-write the article and give it a peer review. But if that's too much to ask any help or suggestions would be helpful. Quadzilla99 (talk) 08:58, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
(undent)Ok a couple of notes; first I wrote a lead for Toole that I think is ok, I'm not happy with a few parts but its decent (thesaurus.com was helpful, lol), and I left a note on the talk page regarding the sources. I want to finish going through that film article and then Kermit Washington against the books I used to check any of the writing I did there. Especially given the User:Rlevse controversy/fiasco that's going on now. But I will address anything you bring up at the Lakers page when I am done with those articles, if no one else does.

in reply to this post you sent. It is well referenced information, it not controversial it truth. because if you do your research and look up records about Tristan N.

Nixon was paying to the GrandMother of Tristan and there is a DNA Test that states that 99.9% that Norman Ellard Nixon is the father.

Hello! Why did you revert the information on Julian Myron Brown back to the old information?
CBrown102371 (talk) 07:19, 20 October 2010 (UTC)
"Mostly because it was unsourced. And parts of it weren't written in an appropriate tone". ("Myron Brown is one heck of a unique individual.") Zagalejo^
I'll tell you this much for all that was written. You can't get a better source on the information put in than from his brother. Which I'am, so the information put in about our parents and his children I would like you to put back. The quote that you reference isn't written in the appropriate tone ("Myron Brown is one heck of a unique individual.") was a quote from an agent that covered the Brazilian team he played for. The info was found on clubspurs.com. This is the link to it http://www.clubspurs.com/classic-thread-archive/some-wisdom-from-journeyman-friend-myron-brown-t1742.html. Also in that link are mention of the teams he played for which I know for a fact that he did. I'am very proud of my brother's accomplishments and don't like the fact that the reference section on him doesn't do him any justice for those accomplishments. Again I would like for you to restore the reference back to how I put it in there if possible.
Thank You Charles C. Brown

The problem with erasing all of the content on Snyder's age is that all of the content is true. I see where it looks like text was taking from other sources. The answer doesn't seem to be to erase everything. In doing so, you lose his whole story. I think a better approach is to delete the parts that were directly copied from another source and then rewrite those sections. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Strs2010 (talk • contribs) 03:23, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
Hello, You're curious as to why I edited Žydrūnas Ilgauskas's page. Here's my reasoning: It states that he is a Lithuanian basketball player in the first sentence. Later it states place of birth and nationality as Lithuanian. This is repetitive and unnecessary.
Also, I have another reason. Paul Pierce is a professional basketball player too. It states his nationality and place of birth to be American. Yet it doesn't state this in the first sentence. Why doesn't it say "Paul Pierce is an American professional basketball player for the NBA"?
Choosing Žydrūnas Ilgauskas and stating that he is Lithuanian, basically labels him that he is different than all other players because he is from a different county. Most hockey players are white, so do I need to label all of the African-American players as "This player is an African-American professional hockey player for the NHL."?
NO I DO NOT! Please change this, as it is offense. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.140.179.154 (talk) 07:19, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

Hello. I saw you and 64.26.99.120 as the last editors of Kenny Anderson so I have a question. I see that 64.26.99.120 started a section so I'm writing you. I have been hearing alot about Tami Roman. So I looked for her but she has no page, instead the result I got was Real World and Kenny Anderson. Tami Roman is in the press now because she has a reality tv show coming out. She is claiming she did not get a settlement, that she was broke and on food stamps. Should I addd this? I see currently that it says she got half of kenny's money, but the sources for that are old. Also, could Tami be lying? Robin Givens said she received no money from Mike Tyson, but they married with no prenup and he abused her, so I'm doubtful she didn't receive a settlement. Here are the articles:
Tami says she didn't get any money: http://twitter.com/TAMIROMAN/status/25432523829

I am returning the section. The second daughter, I mean his second daughter with Tami is named Jazz. All the kids are sourced by that washington post link. I read the link you posted. First, is that a reliable source? Second, it doesnt say anything. It is quoting popeater. So I went to popeater. In popeater is a link to Tami Roman's her twitter where she denies she got 1/2 net worth settlement. But in the 90s she paraded around telling everyone she DID get 1/2. She was even on Oprah! And we know Oprah checks and vets her guests so I dont think she was lying then, I think she is lying now. I think she wants sympathy because all the ladies on the show are hated. I will see if I am able to do a court search. 64.26.99.120 (talk) 00:52, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

Here is proof I found that says his banner doesn't hang in the rafters. Read page 5 of the PDF. This is the nightly program the Nets distribute before every home game. This is the one distributed from the final game at IZOD Center. The guy who wrote this never heard of Ladner. A lot of people complained to the Asst. GM about not including him.

Why is it so hard for you to accept the fact his banner isn't up in the rafters? 2 loyal Nets fans (me & the guy who originally mentioned it isn't hung) were at the game last night & didn't see it up there. Go to a game & you will notice it isn't there.
