Hello, I'm HickoryOughtShirt?4. I noticed that you recently removed content from Chicago Bulls without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Chicago Bulls. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism can result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 04:03, 31 May 2018 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Shellwood. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions —specifically this edit to 1997 NBA Playoffs— because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Help Desk. Thanks. Shellwood (talk) 01:48, 24 September 2018 (UTC)

That was a literal accident. In fact, I took the time to put that bracket back in. I did not see your message until after I put it back in. Karl Malone the Mailman 20:10, 24 September 2018 (UTC)

Which means, since your edit was undone, you put the bracket in twice. —C.Fred (talk) 02:11, 24 September 2018 (UTC)

Lakers

hey, I do agree with have a new header of having LeBron James as 2018-present, when do you think they'll make a new header for it? Maybe we can explain to them that it's the LeBron James era — Preceding unsigned comment added by The Speller (talk • contribs) 21:43, 14 October 2018 (UTC)

I wish they'd put a new header in

Youtube

Wikipedia's consensus is that Youtube is, generally speaking, an unreliable source. If you want to include such links you have to look for consensus for such inclusions. © Tbhotch^™ (en-3). 20:24, 12 August 2020 (UTC)

@Tbhotch: Alright, alright. I see what you're saying. Could you give me the link (if one exists) to the page where that official consensus is established? I genuinely want to read through it. Karl Malone the Mailman (talk) 05:20, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

WP:Consensus, Wikipedia:Dispute resolution and WP:BURDEN. © Tbhotch^™ (en-3). 14:56, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

@Tbhotch: So those pages DO basically show/explain that YouTube is generally not a reliable source. Karl Malone the Mailman (talk) 04:46, 16 August 2020 (UTC)

For the YouTube reliability, see WP:RSPYT, WP:YOUTUBE, and WP:USERGENERATED. © Tbhotch^™ (en-3). 20:44, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
