message: in the 4th paragraph of the early years section, there is a sentence that reads: "During his seventh grade year in January 2002...". if mayo was born in november 1987, and that sentence specifically states "JANUARY 2002", he would be 15 years old at the time. but the sentence also says "during his seventh grade year". seventh grade? where most people are 12-13 years old? has mayo been held back 3 times? did he start going to school 3 years late? am i missing something here, or is that sentence and year wrong, or his birthdate wrong? some clarification would be nice.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.118.71.19 (talk) 09:14, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

message: What is your source for changing the school list for Mayo from WVU and Wake to Duke and UNC?
I removed all individual school listings, since he has not publicly spoken about any schools lately.
*Good call. I added the rumoured schools in the first place, but there is just way too much speculation right now. The latest buzz around his hometown is that he, Walker, and Bob Huggins will show up at Marshall University, but who knows? Youngamerican 00:20, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Source for school changes ? 

message: The line in the first paragraph "He is thought by many to be the best high school basketball player in the United States" may need to be removed, or an authority cited. rhmoore 22:54, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

message: When there is doubt, the usual naming convention would be "O. J." However, Mayo goes by "O.J." in the press and his daily life.  youngamerican (wtf?) 00:39, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I believe you are misinterpreting WP:COMMONNAME.  That merely says he should be called "OJ Mayo" as opposed to "Ovinton J'Anthony Mayo".  That's where the press and daily life sources come in.  However, on Wikipedia, it should follow the WP:NCP AND WP:COMMONNAME#Exceptions and be written as "O. J.".  The space between the initials is purely a formatting thing that all articles on Wikipedia should follow. — X96lee15 (talk) 01:20, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I would agree with you except for the fact that he, himself, uses "O.J." (no space) as his name and it should be one of the exceptions, much like MC Hammer and Breece D'J Pancake and others who use quirky punctuation to self-identify.  y'american (wtf?) 01:30, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  As I'm trying to sort all this out (not just with Mayo), I'm curious if you have a source that says how he formats his name.  Not a source that shows his name as "O.J. Mayo" but a source that talks about choosing to go by "OJ" and how he formats his name.  Just looking at his full name (Ovinton J'Anthony Mayo) and his nickname (OJ Mayo), I don't see where this should be a special case. — X96lee15 (talk) 13:08, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
