Hello! Please be informed that I scarcely contribute to the English Misplaced Pages.
That is the reason why the page you are currently reading does not provide as much information as the French one.

Maya Jane Coles

Thanks for creating this article! Been waiting for that for years... - filelakeshoe 15:11, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
Hey, not quite how you used it. The historical present when used in prose is an artistic tense used mostly in novels to create a more dramatic feel, and not suitable for encyclopedic writing. It is, however, suitable in an encyclopedia when used in chronological lists and timelines of events, for example:
  • 2008: Maya's first EP on Dogmatik is released
  • 2010: Maya gains exposure with an EP on Real Tone
  • 2011: Maya is ranked 9th on Resident Advisor's DJ lists
etc etc, but not in paragraphs. You especially shouldn't use it for things like "in 2012", when the time reference doesn't make it clear whether the event is in the past or the future.
Hope this makes sense! - filelakeshoe 15:20, 19 March 2012 (UTC)

Hey, cool stuff but he still got a ring which means he is a NBA Champion. I need to rewatch the ceremony to see if his name was on the banner. Hell, even Jones got one. Everybody on the roster gets a ring, doesn't matter if they played or not. Kante4 (talk) 10:57, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
