Haven't done this in a while. So here goes... —Chris!c/t 01:48, 5 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comments - The key looks awkward can't it be formatted like the second table? if not why is "Pos., SPG, Ref." bolded and not "G, F, C"? Afro (Talk) 08:37, 9 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Fixed—Chris!c/t 00:27, 13 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • You should repeat some of the references for the second paragraph in the lead. I'm a bit confused about Scottie Pippen in the 1994–95 since you list his position as "F/G" how does this differ from "G/F"? Afro (Talk)
Is repeating the refs necessary? From my experience, this is not the case. As for positions, the one listed first is primary.—Chris!c/t 22:30, 18 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I guess not after looking over the para again. Afro (Talk) 12:50, 20 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
[Note9] doesn't direct me anywhere when I click it. Afro (Talk) 12:38, 24 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Caused by a typo, now fixed—Chris!c/t 00:17, 28 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support - I have no issues with the article. Afro (Don't Call Me Shirley) 09:30, 1 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • "ball by a defensive player" what if an offensive player takes the ball, is that not a steal? FIBA's definition was that it was simply a "defensive action" which resulted in a turnover...
Offensive players already have the ball as they are the side that try to score. A steal occurs when players of the other team (defensive players) gain possession either take the ball away or through a turnover. Does that make sense?—Chris!c/t 20:04, 12 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, I think this is because where I'm from, someone without the ball with be a "defending" player, not a defensive player (as defensive would indicate his usual role in the team). Is it different for NBA? FIBA's definition seems clearer to me. The Rambling Man (talk) 16:44, 14 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, I use FIBA's definition.—Chris!c/t 22:30, 18 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • "This is the requirement since the 1974–75 season, with requirements changing with the schedule length several times before that." Maybe "Although this has been the entry criteria since the..., requirements have changed with the..."?
Fixed—Chris!c/t 00:27, 13 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Funny split key, not keen on that at all.
Fixed—Chris!c/t 00:27, 13 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Captions are a little, well, dry and repetitive. Suggest you fluff them up a little if possible?
Done—Chris!c/t 00:57, 13 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • The lead refers to season as a single year while the list refers to it as spanning two years. I'd be consistent.
The single year links are linked to Finals article instead of the seasons.—Chris!c/t 00:57, 13 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Where is the proof that active players are, well, active still? And does that mean active in the NBA or active anywhere?
It means active in the NBA. I forget to update the page. Now fixed.—Chris!c/t 20:04, 12 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comments –
  • "with requirements changing with the schedule length several times before that." TRM's proposed text makes for a better read, but it doesn't solve the main issue I have with it: how could the requirements have changed several times (before 1974–75) when the stat had only been monitored for one season before that point?
Fixed—Chris!c/t 00:27, 13 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Is Iverson still considered an active player when he's about to go play in Turkey? This might be what TRM means; if that's the case, consider this the same question in a different fashion.
Now fixed.—Chris!c/t 20:04, 12 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • I see that he is no longer treated as an active player in the table, but he's still listed in the lead as the active player with the most steals in a season. This should be changed too. Giants2008 (27 and counting) 23:09, 18 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Done—Chris!c/t 23:46, 18 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • "are the only players to win more than one steals titles." Believe "titles" should be singular, not plural. Oh, and wouldn't this statistics include the players with three titles? Maybe it should be "only other players"?
Fixed.—Chris!c/t 20:04, 12 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Can the position column be made sortable? There are only a few forwards included, but I do think there are enough for sorting to be useful, if possible. Giants2008 (27 and counting) 21:19, 10 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Done.—Chris!c/t 20:04, 12 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
