Reliable sources

Are we saying that ESPN.com is not a reliable source? Because most of the recruiting information is from that web site. I personally feel that when they refer to them selves as the world wide leader in sports, its not just a slogan its the truth. How does everyone else feel about?Racingstripes (talk) 17:47, 22 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand either how usatoday, espn, washington post, rivals (of the yahoo network) and scout (of the Fox sports network)are not reliable sources. enigmaman links us to Wikipedia:Reliable sources which says right on that page "Material from mainstream news organizations is welcomed, particularly the high-quality end of the market, such as The Washington Post" and yet removes the info cited by the washinginton post? Ryan2845 (talk) 00:56, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Some of the links were not correctly formatted. (IE, you don't need a "|" between the URL and the title you give for each link.) Maybe that was why the sources were dismissed? Zagalejo^^^ 05:36, 24 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I will be deleting a few words that are slandering Lance Stevenson and that do not contribute in any positive manner to his biography. Looks like someone else just did it.CryogenicFuture (talk) 02:36, 21 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

There is no picture for Lance Stephenson, which is odd for an established NBA player, one should be added. I recommend this one http://usatftw.files.wordpress.com/2014/02/usatsi_7771619.jpg?w=295&h=231&crop=1 P0in7B1ank (talk) 02:58, 4 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Not done for now: On Commons we only have the 2010 picture, which is already in the article, and certainly could be both better and newer. If you find a free image of Stephenson, please upload it to Commons. Sam Sailor ^Sing 06:52, 4 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Reported trade

Resolved

– Trade confirmed.—Bagumba (talk) 01:58, 16 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The source in one of the edit summaries https://twitter.com/daldridgetnt/status/610606172790476800 says "Source confirms ..." No name provided, meaning it's an anonymous source, which should be treated conservatively per WP:RSBREAKING. WP:SPORTSTRANS also details how this is typically handled in sports articles.—Bagumba (talk) 01:03, 16 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

External links modified

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to 6 external links on Lance Stephenson. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:

Stephenson reportedly signed with the CBA

Hello, I've just heard on the news regarding Lance Stephenson has reportedly signed with the Chinese Basketball Association according to numerous news articles including this one. VictorTorres2002 (talk) 13:02, 1 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it's technically not official yet but there are multiple reports and it's very late in the off-season so I went ahead and updated his page accordingly. Thanks. RichieConant34 (talk) 13:10, 1 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
