John Amaechi

Hi. I saw your recent contributions to the article on John Amaechi. Additions to Wikipedia have to come from reliable sources. I'm not questioning the truthfulness of what you wrote, but can you provide a link to a newspaper or magazine article about Amaechi turning down a $17 Million offer from the Lakers?
Also, on Wikipedia we try to avoid "weasel words". One of your contributions says that, before he announed he was gay, Amaechi was "best known" for turning down the offer from the Lakers. Phrases like "best known" are considered "weasel words" — "Best known" by whom? Again, it would be great if you could find a newspaper or magazine article that says that Amaechi was "best known" for turning down the offer, or "infamous", or "notorious". We could use those words, in quotes, in the article, together with a footnote, which indicates that it's not Wikipedia's opinion that Amaechi is "best known" for that, but somebody else's.
You can look for a source document at your favorite sports website. Some people like to use NBA.com, ESPN.com, or SI.com (Sports Illustrated). You can leave a message here, or on Talk:John Amaechi or on my Talk page. Thanks! — Malik Shabazz | Talk 23:25, 21 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This user is asking that their block be reviewed:

BigGuy (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I mainly correct spelling errors and remove extra words, I do know anything about MasterKnighted. If my account has become his sock puppet, I do not know how or why.

Notes:

In some cases, you may not in fact be blocked, or your block has already expired. Please check the list of active blocks. If no block is listed, then you have been autoblocked by the automated anti-vandalism systems. Please remove this request and follow these instructions instead for quick attention by an administrator.
Please read our guide to appealing blocks to make sure that your unblock request will help your case. You may change your request at any time.

Administrator use only:

If you ask the blocking administrator to comment on this request, replace this template with the following, replacing "blocking administrator" with the name of the blocking admin:

{{Unblock on hold |1=blocking administrator |2= I mainly correct spelling errors and remove extra words, I do know anything about MasterKnighted.  If my account has become his sock puppet, I do not know how or why. |3 = ~~~~}}

If you decline the unblock request, replace this template with the following code, substituting {{subst:Decline reason here}} with a specific rationale. Leaving the decline reason unchanged will result in display of a default reason, explaining why the request was declined.

{{unblock reviewed |1= I mainly correct spelling errors and remove extra words, I do know anything about MasterKnighted.  If my account has become his sock puppet, I do not know how or why. |decline = {{subst:Decline reason here}} ~~~~}}

If you accept the unblock request, replace this template with the following, substituting Accept reason here with your rationale:

{{unblock reviewed |1= I mainly correct spelling errors and remove extra words, I do know anything about MasterKnighted.  If my account has become his sock puppet, I do not know how or why. |accept = accept reason here ~~~~}}
