Edit warring and adding insignificant NBA G League showcase team honor at Paris Bass. Also just plain being rude. Could probably use someone uninvolved to help him understand how to work within and towards consensus. Rikster2 (talk) 19:29, 21 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You can expedite things with an appropriate edit warring warning. I also left an AGF warning.—Bagumba (talk) 00:39, 22 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

WP:NBAhighlights

Are you able to list if a player led the NBA in three-point percentage during a certain year? Mandomanny313 (talk) 03:08, 28 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Mandomanny313: No, it's not on that list. It can be added to a bio's prose, if it's not already there.—Bagumba (talk) 03:22, 28 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

LaMelo Ball's All-Star status

So this video was put on the NBA website, and it shows LaMelo Ball as being a 1x All-Star. Keep in mind, this is the official NBA website, and this video was put out there by NBA front office. https://watch.nba.com/video/lamelo-ball-2021-22-highlights Could I add Ball's status to his page? Or should I wait? Mandomanny313 (talk) 20:36, 29 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Mandomanny313: If you are not seeing it anywhere else, WP:RSBREAKING seems to apply.—Bagumba (talk) 01:44, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

News sources have caught onto this revelation from the NBA. Seems legitimate. https://thesportsrush.com/nba-news-did-the-nba-leak-lamelo-balls-all-star-status-fans-of-the-hornets-star-go-crazy-as-nba-tv-clip-confirms-that-he-has-acquired-one-of-the-reserve-spots-for-the-2022-all-star-game-2/ https://www.yardbarker.com/nba/articles/nba_tv_may_have_revealed_that_lamelo_ball_will_be_an_all_star_this_season/s1_16751_37115927 Mandomanny313 (talk) 19:32, 31 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Tom Brady records sources

Most of the records in question follow a 1 + 1 rule, as he owns most of the records in question for both regular season and post season individually. So by virtue of owning both, it is mathematically impossible to not own a combined record.

Most of those sources can be found in both the regular season record or post season record sections. I am not well versed in adding sources correctly, which is why I limit my edits to updating posted statistics, but I can provide links to several of them, and the numbers are backed through https://www.pro-football-reference.com/

Additional links to these pages help provide documentation for several of the records.

Hope this helps, FrostCzar (talk) 10:07, 3 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@FrostCzar: I don't doubt this it's true, but if sources don't publish the combined stats or cite his records there, it's WP:OR.—Bagumba (talk) 10:09, 3 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Well they are far from original ideas or thoughts, and as I mentioned, many of them are sourced in the other sections or links already listed, so I can't agree it would be at all considered WP OR. But here are a couple more sources to get your request started. Hopefully that makes other peoples burdens a little lighter in getting the sources assembled.

@FrostCzar: Feel free to discuss with everyone back at the article talk. Something like sacks is not just "1+1", when he's #2 in regular season https://www.pro-football-reference.com/leaders/pass_sacked_career.htmBagumba (talk) 10:40, 3 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@FrostCzar: I generally stay clear of SBNation for reliability (notable exceptions like The Ringer), mostly amateurish fan blogs. WP:NFL might differ from me.—Bagumba (talk) 10:55, 3 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I won't argue with your point on SBNation, but can we at least agree to update the numbers to factually correct numbers to help prevent people from creating and posting future blogs and articles that will include incorrect information based on old numbers by lazy writers coming to wiki? That was my main goal in attempting to make the original edit. Updating the sources and talking to the source material can certainly be something worth talking about in the talk page if it must be, but at least have the correct statistics up in the meantime to prevent misinformation, would be helpful.
