Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in 2018 NBA Finals, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Specifically per MOS:IMGSIZE, avoid specifying a fixed pixel size for images. —Bagumba (talk) 14:44, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to use disruptive, inappropriate or hard-to-read formatting, as you did at 2017 NBA Finals, you may be blocked from editing. There is a Wikipedia Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Please do not specify pixel size of images. —Bagumba (talk) 15:12, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi sir Bagumba, are you an admin? don't get me wrong, i am trying to making everything easy to read and pleased to see, what's the point if the picture is too small in specified phone or cheap phone (like i noticed in my phone), not every one has a privilege of a expensive phone, tablet or even laptop, it's just i have tried my best to balance the pics, but thanks for the constructive criticism, nice to talk to you mister!

Hi there. You can customize it in your preferences. See Help:Preferences § Files. That's the idea behind MOS:IMAGESIZE, since one size might work for one editor but look different for another reader, depending on their device. Thanks. —Bagumba (talk) 16:23, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that your recent edit to Saul did not have an edit summary. You can use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit, or to provide a description of what the edit changes. Summaries save time for other editors and reduce the chances that your edit will be misunderstood. For some edits, an adequate summary may be quite brief.

The edit summary field looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary, and then click the "Save" button. Thanks! Remsense诉 06:10, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

Please do not use styles that are nonstandard, unusual, inappropriate or difficult to understand in articles, as you did in 2024 United States men's Olympic basketball team. There is a Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Specifically, people are generally referred to by their surname after first mention (MOS:SURNAME) —Bagumba (talk) 08:13, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

Olympics All-Star Five

There is no consensus to include All-tournament designations in the players’ infoboxes. I’m the case of LeBron James, his MVP award for that event is already listed so of course he made the all-tournament team. There is a discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Basketball on the topic that you are welcome to take part in, but do not add this any more until that discussion concludes Rikster2 (talk) 14:10, 20 August 2024 (UTC)

Repeated links in NBA infoboxes

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. However, in your recent edit to 2000 NBA Finals, you added links to an article which did not add content or meaning, or repeated the same link several times throughout the article. Please see Wikipedia's guideline on links to avoid overlinking. Same applies to other NBA pages. – sbaio 17:51, 26 September 2024 (UTC)
