"Referees" or "Officials" in Template:Basketballbox?[edit]

There is a discussion relevant to this project at Template talk:Basketballbox, requesting that the word "referees" be replaced by "officials". Please contribute there if you have a comment. – Jonesey95 (talk) 00:19, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Professional chronology in articles[edit]

I am participating in the WP:CUP. I am trying to score a lot of points at WP:GA. User:AirshipJungleman29 reviewed my Talk:Jordan Murphy (basketball)/GA1 nomination and I am now having second thoughts on my response. It is commonly accepted to have a new subsection for each new team affiliation in a bio. Typically, in these subsections we merely note when a player signed with a team, was traded or left a team. He asked me to try to avoid sequential stubby paragraphs and I merged a bunch of minimal paragraphs. Should I be doing this. Is it O.K. to have limited transaction announcement style paragraphs?-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 02:45, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

People do it, but it's poor form for GA. Per MOS:OVERSECTION:

Very short sections and subsections clutter an article with headings and inhibit the flow of the prose. Short paragraphs and single sentences generally do not warrant their own subheadings.

Sydney Johnson USA Basketball role[edit]

I am having a bit of trouble understanding which role Sydney Johnson had for USA Basketball that is described as "a team scout for the USA Basketball February 2020 FIBA AmeriCup Qualifying Team." I see 2022 FIBA AmeriCup qualification and {{FIBA AmeriCup}} does not include a 2020 team.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 23:10, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

2022 FIBA AmeriCup qualification spanned from 2018 until 2021, with the USA playing between Feb 2020 and Feb 2021. Howard the Duck (talk) 13:35, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

photo evaluation on Victor Hampton (American football)[edit]

cross-posted from Wikipedia talk:WikiProject American football § photo evaluation on Victor Hampton (American football)

The person pictured on Victor Hampton (American football) is playing basketball, but there's no mention of any basketball career. While the Flickr page says it's Victor Hampton and it's a Gamecocks account (and he played for the South Carolina Gamecocks football team), I wonder if there is any chance it's the wrong guy.

Would someone with more sports knowledge help out here? = paul2520 💬 19:52, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
