  Hello, I'm Bagumba. I noticed that you made a comment on the page Aron Baynes that didn't seem very civil, so it has been removed. Wikipedia is built on collaboration, so it's one of our core principles to interact with one another in a polite and respectful manner. If you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. —Bagumba (talk) 06:15, 17 February 2019 (UTC)Reply

“Built on collaboration” but everytime I edit anything this Aussie has to step in and re-edit or reword any of my edits, even if it’s 👌💯 so he deserved it XKnuckLez (talk) 22:36, 19 February 2019 (UTC)Reply

Contrary to what you might believe, I don't want there to be animosity with you or any other user, but your approach to editing is suspect in my opinion and I just feel your often dubious and random changes to basketball-related articles requires monitoring, say these two [1] [2] to Daniel Kickert. The first one is just plain vandalism and doesn't help your cause to showing you and are here to contribute positively, while the second one is a random, unexplained, erroneous change. In saying that, I agree with your recent change to Andrew Gaze. You used the edit summary in a positive manor and backed it up with a sound change. Regarding your Melbourne United note in the lead for South East Melbourne Phoenix – ok, yes, I might not completely agree, but I am always happy to concede to avoid edit warring. I am not here to revert everything you do – it's not my goal. You are a new user, and often new users who get reverted a few times respond in similar ways to yourself i.e. getting defensive and lashing back with insults etc. That often leads to getting blocked. You are not the first user to take a "liking" to me via trolling (me being Australian has tugged at your heart strings it seems) and I feel you might be closely patrolling my edits too, considering you went from editing Seven deadly sins to Tipperary Senior Hurling Championship two minutes later, after I edited Tipperary senior hurling team season 2019. Just something to consider. DaHuzyBru (talk) 03:32, 20 February 2019 (UTC)Reply

If calling someone a “Filipino Monkey” and then elbowing them hard in the face isn’t racist, then I guess you’re right. However, you are making a big deal out of nothing because I reverted the edits immediately after saving. As far as the second change to Daniel Kickert, it sounds unnatural to say Kickert is the son of other Kickerts (obviously), so why not use his first name? I do not understand why you changed my edits to Serge Ibaka, on numerous occasions, when it is currently on my revision that you kept reverting. So, when I go to do the same exact thing to Aron Baynes article and say “New Zeland-born”, you did the same thing and revert. If you simply leave edit summaries (like you state you ALWAYS do) instead of “reverted edits from...” you could have stated your intentions or why you changed it. If you do not like me stalking your contributions page, then I suggest you stop stalking mine . Just something to think about.

I suggest you may find it helpful to read Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Linking before adding any more links to articles. A link to another article should usually be used only when it is likely to help a reader of the article containing the link to understand the subject of that article. It is not helpful to link to an article on a common term which any reader can be expected to understand, and where the linked article doesn't contain any information about the subject of the linking article.

Just read that article. In the ‘principles’ section it explain it very clearly. So should we not hyperlink ‘Michigan’? That term is very common and any reader should understand it..... XKnuckLez (talk) 00:15, 23 February 2019 (UTC)Reply
