New articles
CHRIS--
I love the postings. I especially appreciate all the international stuff you've been putting up. We need the site to be much broader than just the NBA or just the USA. For personal reasons I especially appreciate the Eastern European players. (I put up Uljana Semjonova, my first article, and one I remain quite proud of.)
I would appreciate if you could add the categories for your posts. It makes a lot more work for me, if I have to add them all.
Thanks, Hoosier Historian
AJ Guyton
Dude--
Please do not rollback edits/corrections that eliminate improvements. And please do not delete the categories. (It would help if you included the categories when you posted the article, by the way.)
I appreciate the work you put into Hoopedia, but I hope you notice that I, too, put in some effort in editing those articles, adding links, correcting spelling, etc., so let's not work at cross-purposes.
Thanks.
~Hoosier Historian
Sorry
Hoosier Historian- Sorry about that. I did not realize what I had done until I read what you said. ~Chris
We're cool.
So why the big interest in European players? And who are you picking for the Olympic silver and bronze? I see that Lithuania is doing well in the non-US pool.
~HH
European Players and Olympics
Well, When I was creating pages for players, I notices that there are not a lot of pages for European players from the second round. I also wanted to learn more about the European league because I already know a whole lot about the NBA. I'm not sure who is going to win. Most of the time when the Olympics are on I watch it for about an hour and then I fall asleep. They're on so late at night!! ~Chris
Kenyon, etc.
I'll look at Kenyon's page. The Mavericks project is User:Basketball110's baby. It appears that he's been working on other stuff lately.

Images
Chris--
To post a picture, click on the "Upload file" link in the toolbox at left. You can then upload any images on your drive to hoopedia and insert them into the article.

Dates
Chris--
To change a date, go to the template page, e.g., Template:January 9.

All Stars
Chris--G
Don't you think "NBA All-Stars" makes better category than "Players Who Made an NBA All-Star Game"?
--Hoosier Historian 18:40, 26 December 2008 (EST)
editing templates
when you're in edit mode, you'll find a template link after the edit box. click on that to go to the template page, and edit that page. it's like the date edits.

Spanish language versions
Muy excellente! What would we do about titles? <Michael Jordan (en Espanol)> Just an idea. You have a better one? --Hoosier Historian 14:47, 4 January 2009 (EST)
Frohlich
Good catch, Chris. I suggest you edit together one article under the title Linda Frohlich and change the Linda Fröhlich article to read "#REDIRECT Linda Frohlich". The only reason for that choice is that Hoopedia's search engine does not recognize diacritical marks. Google and other search engines, however, do pick up the diacritical marks.
Thanks for your many contributions.
--Hoosier Historian 23:00, 10 January 2009 (EST)
International/European Players
Chris--
I have been trying to distinguish the "international players" category by making it refer to players who have played on national teams in international tournaments (e.g., Olympics, FIBA Worlds). "European Players," in contrast, refers to players in European leagues. Same goes for Asian Players, South American, etc. (The whole thing is made kinda complicated because here in the US we tend to think of any player who is not an American as "an international player," which really does not help keep things straight.)
I know this distinction is not immediately obvious, but that's what I've been working toward. Do you think that makes sense? Do you have any ideas for a better way to approach the issue?
--Hoosier Historian 09:18, 14 January 2009 (EST)
Greek administration
I rolled back your change for Greece's governing body. The governing body is the org that runs national basketball, that is that runs the national teams. HEBA, I believe, is the pro league. If I am wrong, please let me know.
--Hoosier Historian 08:58, 16 January 2009 (EST)
Ask me
Those pages are protected, but I guess there's really no good reason that they have to be. I will remove the protection.
--Hoosier Historian 14:38, 30 January 2009 (EST)
Thanks
Chris--
Thank you for the excellent articles you have posted and all the work you put into them.
I have to let you know that I am no longer the admin of Hoopedia. I don't know what the plan is--whether someone else will take over, or if it will just be set afloat. I plan to contribute from time to time, but I will not be running the operation.
Hope to work with you again,
--Hoosier Historian 20:37, 31 January 2009 (EST)
I'm not sure how to make you an administrator User:Yest
Chris and Yest:
I think even though no one has full administrator functions, the regular contributors to this site in absence of HH should continue try to police it in regard to malicious and incompetent entries. Maybe HH, if he is paying attention, could instruct one of the regular contributors on how to be an administrator.
RD
I realize I messed up Darrin Hancock's Retired NBA Player template a bit, but since this was the best I could do (and I got it to the right side) I figured it would be best to save and let you see if you can fix it. User:Yest
RE: Project
Oh, you just create a page similar to that of another. It's not a big deal. Basketball110 11:49, 22 March 2009 (EDT)
Chris:
Where is Yest? We need an administrator. Yest needs to come back on the site and hand you administrative powers. This site is being attacked fairly regularly now. Right now I have some powers, to delete for example, and you should also. HH gave me those powers I did not even know that until I looked at my menu under Rdpruter, and saw a delete button.
My opinion of the world has dropped significantly after six months on Hoopedia and seeing hte crap that is put on it.
RDpruter
Chris:
What did NBAWikiGuy do? He appeared to have downgraded me. I do not have the ability to delete anymore. This is one mucked up site. The logic would require that you, Yest, and me become administrators. How hard is that?

request from nba
We wanted to thank you for your contributions, concern, and commitment on behalf of Hoopedia. We appreciate your participation and would like to further our communication with you regarding the site and its current status. Please send an email with your name, email, and any other contact information to samato@nba.com. Thank you.
trouble
Today when I went on I lost my syop ability (deleting articles) do you know what caused it? why? and if I could get it back?
Yest:
Contact the email address above--samato@nba.com. I had lost my syop ability as well when you lost yours. Email samato@nba and explain your situation, your continuing contribution to Hoopedia, and say you had been the main syop person after Hoosier Historian bailed.

what did you decide to do about the international players categories
Devin Harris's Miracle Half Court Shot
Chris:
The photo that appears all black in the upper right will probably never appear. The photo in the lower left, with the red x, alas, will appear after a few back and forths. So I suggest redue the all black photo.

Sani Bečirovič
Bečirovič was never an NBA player, and that is the category. Neither was he ever a Nugget.
I still don't see how you can categorize someone as an NBA player when he was never an NBA player. These categories need to be narrowly defined, rather than including anybody who ever wished they could do something.
Templates

Chris:
I can't edit the main page, but there was an item up there that needed correcting. "Above: Near Baltimore, Maryland, elite prep schools Bryn Mawr School and St. Timothy's School play the first girls' high school basketball game." No way was this "the first girls' high school basketball game," there dozens before that date. Do you know how to change it to "play an early girls' high school basketball game." RDpruter

Thanks for taking care of that. Just wondering. I have certain powers, such as the ability to delete articles. I do not know what category of adm that makes me. Do you have the power to unlock certain articles? Do I? Because some that are locked have errors in them and need to be corrected, or that the links need to be updated or even added.

Major problem
Whenever I try to save an edit this shows up: "Sorry! We could not process your edit due to a loss of session data. Please try again. If it still doesn't work, try logging out and logging back in." It prevents me from saving edits made on a page and is very frustrating. Can you please help me? --Silver Knight 10:31, 28 March 2011 (EDT)
It happens to me too. Just keep pressing save, First time, you get a loss of session data, when you press save again, It asks you to type a simple math problem in , when you press save the third time, the page saves. I know, it's annoying. --Hockeyben 10:41, 28 March 2011 (EDT)

Can you make changes on the main page. If you can, could you add a link to the category page on did on Jewish-Americans that would be great. We have a link on African Americans to a category page. Adding a Jewish-American link would be useful. thanks, rdpruter.
Re:Spam
I have no clue. i guess one suggestion would be to protect all pages except ofcourse to certain people.. idk just an idea. - Jdh87
Spam
This Spam is called Bots and they are automatically generated, and it increases each day like some of those Atari games, where the more you eliminate the attackers the more they come and faster. It is hopeless to get rid of them. I realize it is absolutely crazy. One way to do it is to require a login for entrance into the website, but you need a webmaster to create a login and to issue logins. I am not sure that this site has a webmaster.
Meanwhile, can you make the change on the main page like I asked a few weeks ago, see above?

Main Page
Thanks for adding the line on Jewish Americans and Basketball, but I think you put it in the wrong place. I think it goes below the paragraph on Jews rather than at the beginning. And it appears you somehow erased a paragraph of text on African Americans that preceded the line on African Americans and Basketball.
Also, thank you for getting in touch with an NBA person on the bot spam avalanche that is growing every day.
