Recreate?

In light of the recent events, why is it that LaMelo has an article but not LiAngelo? MB298 (talk) 03:43, 21 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There is a portion where it says that Ball and "two others" got arrested for shoplifting in China. We should change "two others" to Cody Riley and Jalen Hill. Inkling101 (talk) 00:56, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not done Since neither of the other parties appear to be notable, we will not name them in a biographical article about Ball. General Ization ^Talk 00:59, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I guess I'll take this one on. Courcelles (talk) 18:39, 14 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"but withdrew after he was suspended" "but withdrew from the university after..."
- I'll take this since User:TempleM retired. Done. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 01:57, 15 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Source for middle name and birthday?
- Middle name Birthday (easy to find) ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 02:00, 15 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
"with Ball scoring" For hopefully obvious reasons, this doesn't work in this article ;) You're going to have to use first names for clarity.
- Done. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 02:00, 15 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
"when he erupted" Watch word choice, could be more formal here.
- Changed to "when he scored" ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 02:01, 15 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
"not a candidate for McDonald's All-American Game." for the McDonald's
- Changed. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 02:04, 15 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
"136–93 triumph vs." Don't use abbreviations like this in the prose.
- Spelled out. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 02:05, 15 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Refs 103-109 are bare URL's.
- Filled in. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 02:19, 15 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not evaluated the references yet, just the prose. Courcelles (talk) 19:20, 14 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

TMZ is not an RS, Ref 78.
- Replaced with a better ref. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 02:24, 15 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Lots of refs seem to need publishers/works.
- Is this really such an issue? ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 02:24, 15 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  - Guess not, at least not for GA, but it'll stop you cold at FAC. But, this is GA, and the article meets the criteria for referencing, so promoting. Courcelles (talk) 13:34, 16 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 30 October 2018

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at LiAngelo Ball. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.
