DraftExpress has a <span class=plainlinks>[http://www.draftexpress.com/nba-pre-draft-measurements/ very detailed database of pre-draft measurements]</span>. I think we should implement it into [[Infobox NBA Player]], similar to the official NBA profile, and on the respective page of the player, you would only enter the draft year to get to the page of his draft and see his measurements. Do you think this is a good idea? Some player's official height and weight are sometimes very different from their measurements, and it would be nice to know through one click e.g. what vertical a player had. ● '''''<font face="broadway" size="3">[[User:8-Hype|<font color="#d8bb6c">8</font>]][[User_talk:8-Hype|<font color="black">~</font>]][[Special:Contributions/8-Hype|<font color="#008040">Hype</font>]]</font> <sup>@</sup>''''' 12:16, 14 July 2008 (UTC) |

- Thanks! Feel free to do it yourself; I'm just copypasting from User:LOL/NBA player statistics. ;) —LOL T/C 00:51, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
nba career stats
hi, for the playoffs table, i might have thought that linking eg 2003 nba playoffs would be more appropriate than 2003-03 season. Chensiyuan (talk) 14:52, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
- Ah, yes...didn't think about that. I will link to the playoffs for the remaining ~15% of active NBA player articles, but I'm not sure if I'm willing to go back just to change a few links. Thanks for the notice. —LOL T/C 14:56, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
Thanks!
Thanks for taking care of the playoff stats for Pau Gasol, I would've done them myself, but just have not had the time. Gamloverks (talk) 16:07, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
- No problem. :) If there are any changes you'd like to make to the table, feel free to discuss them at WT:NBA#Career player statistics. —LOL T/C 16:13, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
Changing quotation style
Hello there. I would like to ask you to stop editing articles just to change the quotation style. This is typically something that's not worth changing when an article already uses a certain style, similar to how you wouldn't suddenly change the spelling from British English to American English. (I'm talking about these edits: [1] [2].) —msikma (user, talk) 06:39, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
- Regarding this message: It was not the quotation style I changed; it was merely the glyphs. But anyway, why is it not worth changing? WP:MOS has said for at least a few months that "The exclusive use of straight quotes and apostrophes is recommended." It has never told us to exclusively use a particular variety of English. —LOL T/C 13:42, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
- Hi there. First of all, I'm sorry for insinuating that you were making a mistake by doing so. I've been gone from Wikipedia for a long time, and I seem to remember the rule being different at some point. (At that time there was no consensus about whether we should use curly or straight apostrophes. I was involved in it for a short while because I was helping out with the "cite web" template back then.) I didn't figure we'd ever get a consensus either. If the manual states that straight apostrophes are preferred, well, then I guess it's for the better that we use them, then. I'll roll back to your changes. Sorry to have bothered you! —msikma (user, talk) 18:51, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
- Ah, I see you already did roll them back. Well, that's fine then. I still think it's kind of strange, since I never thought there'd ever be a consensus on such a thing. Then again, it's probably best to keep them straight and then ask the MediaWiki developers to automatically make them curly... it definitely saves a lot of hard work copying and pasting those things. —msikma (user, talk) 18:54, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Hey, can you please help? I made the imperial units bold for better recognition (click here), but it's too hard for me to do it for the height. Could you please contribute? ● 8~Hype @ 14:57, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
- Regarding this message: I did what you asked as a scripting exercise but I personally dislike the striking markup. I find that it's distracting and unnecessary because the metric units are already in parentheses. —LOL T/C 19:58, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
Hmm, maybe we can seperate it some other way? It's just too confusing for me personally as it was before. The imperial units are the main units and therefore should be superior to the metric ones. ● 8~Hype @ 20:00, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
OK, please try it. ● 8~Hype @ 20:10, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
DraftExpress has a very detailed database of pre-draft measurements. I think we should implement it into Infobox NBA Player, similar to the official NBA profile, and on the respective page of the player, you would only enter the draft year to get to the page of his draft and see his measurements. Do you think this is a good idea? Some player's official height and weight are sometimes very different from their measurements, and it would be nice to know through one click e.g. what vertical a player had. ● 8~Hype @ 12:16, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
