The U.S. vote

Hi Bagumba

So much for my original question, lol.

But this question is regarding voting. Is a vote for general purposes .. or black and white final answers? I ask because I believe you're an administrator and you know far more than I ever will at Wikipedia. You even put U.S. on players pages .... and a rule cannot be implemented unless a few agree? Some editors don't deserve that much power. A rule should be put in place, we add to a page, and that's that. You'd never think that I was the one removing U.S. in the first place.

But you must have seen Platoon .. I'm a firm believer in when the machine breaks down, we break down.

Thanks for your time Bringingthewood (talk) 22:39, 20 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Bringingthewood: Generally, Wikipedia operates off of WP:CONSENSUS. A caveat is WP:NOTVOTE. You did fine by following Wikipedia:Dispute resolution.—Bagumba (talk) 07:25, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for clearing that up for me and for the dispute resolution verdict. I appreciate it.

Sometimes I should walk around the block first, before I start typing. I'll work on that.

I'm pretty sure that I saw your vote come in on my watchlist, but I didn't see your name on the voting page. I should try that, less enemies that way. Bringingthewood (talk) 07:41, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently I fogot to sign. Thanks. —Bagumba (talk) 07:58, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

your new message

Howdy Bagumba,

thanks for reaching out and the heads up regarding the discussion.

"I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of NBA 75th Anniversary Team several times" Yes and no. The page states "Note: Statistics are correct through the end of the 2020–21 season, the season last completed before the list was announced." so either those edits need to be reverted since they clash with the notes. Or the notes need to be removed. But I admit that keeping hte stas is my prefered option.

"but I wanted to make sure you're aware that the edit warring policy disallows repeated reversions even if they are justifiable." could you kindly point me to the section where that is stated? I only see the 3RR. As I pointed ou on the talk page, starting discussions on various talk pages did ... exactly nothing. So what do you suggest we should do to get a decission regarding those notes and how to handle the stats?

"All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article talk pages to try to reach consensus" Wonderful, and then nobody responds because people don't care about the talk page or discssions. Great. Got a practical solution or suggestion? (not being snarky, honest question)

I'll actually take a closer look at the Dispute resolution page if I can find something useful, so thanks for pointing that out! :) Cheers, 165.1.194.41 (talk) 12:26, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I see you found the discussion at Talk:NBA_75th_Anniversary_Team#To_update_or_not_to_update_stats. Let's see if an agreement can be reached there. Regards. —Bagumba (talk) 12:30, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Honest opinion: Folks won't see it, The discussion started over a year ago and I'm the third person posting there. I'll see if we can get the DR rolling. Might more sense. Cheers! 165.1.194.41 (talk) 12:33, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
