Hi, Hope you don't mind but I've changed a couple of references in the D-League article back to "NBDL" - in my view, the fact that they only changed the name officially in summer '05 means that when the article is talking about pre-2005 happenings, the league's name should be NBDL (the NBA didn't "start recruiting players from the D-League" in 2002, because there was no such thing, and players like Alston or Brown were definitely hyped as making the step up from "the NBDL" at the time). What do you think? Obviously you're very closely connected with the league so if you feel strongly that it should be called D-League throughout, I won't get into some kind of petty argument over it! 81.110.86.44 07:30, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Actually, I can see where you're coming from and agree with you, especially where the name ends up being anachronistic. Your reverts are fine. Eric 04:53, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] NBADL, edit summaries

Eric, (great name :o) )

Thanks for taking up the reigns on the NBADL pages. I've been wanting to improve those for quite a while but simply haven't had the time. I'd just like to encourage you to use edit summaries for all of your edits, even the minor ones. It makes it much easier for other editors to browse your changes. If you have any questions about Wikipedia and its policies (or anything else for that matter), feel free to leave a message on my talk page. Thanks, and keep up the good work!

[edit] USRD Inactivity check and news report

Hello, EMcCutchan. We had a few urgent matters to communicate to you:

  1. Please update your information at Wikipedia:WikiProject U.S. Roads/Participants, our new centralized participant list. Those who have not done so by October 20th will be removed.
  2. There are important discussions taking place at WT:USRD relating to whether WP:USRD, WP:HWY, or the state projects should hold the "power" in the roads projects.
