replies: text: I'm going to go ahead and remove the mug shot since three people, including myself, don't think its necessary. It's not like he's O.J. Simpson or Darryl Strawberry who can't seem to stay out of trouble. Personally I dont even think the comments about his marijuana possesion are even necessary seeing as it was a minor offense and the charges were dropped. Geoffrey Gibson 1:39, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

message: On March 15, 2008, Marcus had a triple-double in 27 minutes. Is this the fastest triple-double in NBA history?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.16.228.8 (talk) 05:32, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Triple Double

message: It was very VERY well publicized at the time how Knicks fans disliked the trade of the popular blue-collar player for Marcus Camby. Their feelings changed after Camby performed well in the playoffs, notably against the Indiana Pacers to push the 98-99 Knicks into the NBA Finals. I agree that such history may seem vague now, but that does not mean that such should be forgotten in the name of ignorance.
: If it was that well-publicized, then you need to provide a source, especially for that kind of content.  Thus, do not re-add that information until you give a source.  I'm not doubting the info, but as per the policies and standards of Wikipedia, you need to provide a source when including that kind of content.  -- Luke4545 (talk) 02:08, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  Is that even an item that needs citation? Plenty of NBA player pages on Wikipedia are filled with subjective phrases such as "popular player" without citations. I mean, the trade (until Camby proved his worth) cost GM Ernie Grunfeld his job, and the same year, Dave Checketts had a behind-the-back interview with Phil Jackson to replace Van Gundy that very season!

replies: text:  First of all, you have to at least be somewhat popular/notable to have an article on Wikipedia anyway.  So, saying someone is popular is only stating the obvious.  Now, of course, if someone tried to claim something along the lines of "Player A is the most popular player in the NBA," then yeah, that statement could be a problem and may need to be removed.  If justification for a claim like that was even attempted, though, then you would obviously need to try and provide some CITED evidence (however, the legitimacy of that evidence may be disputed), such as jersey sales.  In the case of Marcus Camby, saying someone is liked and/or disliked due to a particular event, or a progression of events, is also a matter of opinion, and thus, needs to be cited.  Otherwise, anyone can start throwing all sorts of reasons behind a negative or positive perception of an individual.  Like I said previously, I'm not doubting the info provided by Rock8591 (talk); however, that still doesn't take away from the fact that sources for that kind of info need to given if the info is included in the article.  -- Luke4545 (talk) 03:34, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  Not saying you're incorrect, but in that case, the 2nd paragraph of Jason Caffey's page should also be edited.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rock8591 (talk • contribs) 06:32, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  Well, you're right, and I just removed the comparable info.  And by the way, that's the first time I've actually edited that page.  If you see comparable info on any other article, then you can remove it, but make sure you state the reason and request that if someone reinserts that material that they also provide a source.  -- Luke4545 (talk) 11:44, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  Alright, let's see how good's the link that I cited. IMO, it is a classic timeless SI article, one that was published in 1999 yet I remember as if it was nanoseconds ago. The first paragraph sent quite a plethora of emotions down my spine. Rocky 23:55, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  What exactly was the reason that Camby, a 23 year old top draft pick, was traded for a aging Oakley and a scrub in Sean Marks? Was their animosity between Camby and Raptors front office? Did the Raptors do it for salary cap issues or cash considerations?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.15.26.143 (talk) 21:39, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

message: If the paraphrasing is not satisfactory, please suggest an alternative and fill it in instead of deleting the content. The article is quite lengthy, and that section sums it up. Although not positive, it is reported information from a reliable source. Thanks much, Group29 (talk) 15:53, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
