Changing official sourced capacities of all Euroleague arenas
An IP changed the official lusted and sourced capacities of all Euroleague arenas, at their articles, and at the Euroleague article and Euroleague season article. Is there any site policy on this? Can someone just chance all the capacities and give no reason why? Bluesangrel (talk) 22:02, 9 July 2016? (UTC)

Medal icons in resultsboxes
There is a discussion at Olympics project regarding match templates and medal icons, i.e. if they should be shown (diff) or not shown (diff).
This affects basketball as well so please join at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Olympics#Medal icons on team sport templates
International leagues being given vague article names like First Federal League
The top Yugoslavian League for example has a vague article name of First Federal Basketball League. I don't think naming international leagues from non speaking countries in a vague way like that, and in English no less is going to work very well at all for the site.Bluesangrel (talk)
BIG3
If you look at articles of Rashard Lewis, Mike Bibby, Stephen Jackson or many other players you will see thats some editors added BIG3 league, which is 3-on-3 tournament, and not professinal basketball league. I started to remove that from articles, but they keep putting back that. I think that we should delete that from infbox. What the other basketball users think about this?--Bozalegenda (talk) 11:52, 27 June 2017 (UTC)
Unless there is consensus that this is a bigger deal, I'd say keep it out of infobox and opening sentence in lead. Can mention later in lead and in prose.--Bagumba (talk) 23:18, 5 July 2017 (UTC)
Well, the thing is that Wikipedia is made to give information to the people, and where they are playing currently is a piece of useful information. Rashad Mcants is marked currently as a free agent, but he's playing in the BIG3 League, so he's not technically free agent nor he'd me able to sign with an NBA team if he'd want to. Not only that, other 3x3 players do have their information displayed in their infobox. So what, when are going to be sitting here ignoring the BIG3 league and denying information to the people interested and act like nothing happened? Like AI doesn't have a contract and is working at a league currently playing? Why? Only because in our selfish hearts we "feel like it" and because "it isn't the nba"? Nah man, that's not how information should work, it should be for the people, not for us.

I disagree with the opinion that BIG3 information should not be included in the infobox. Contrary to some previous posts, the BIG3 is a professional league. The players get drafted, signed, traded, cut, and most importantly, paid, just like any other professional league. On top of that, 3v3 basketball will be part of the 2020 Olympics. I think that completely ignoring it in the infobox is a disservice to the player and to the league. Perhaps a compromise? The infobox could be notated to show that it is 3v3, e.g., "Allen Iverson currently plays for 3s Company of the BIG3 basketball league (3v3)". That way it is not ignored but it's also clear that it's not 5v5. 2600:387:6:807:0:0:0:AD (talk) 02:23, 19 July 2017 (UTC)
Manny Harris infobox
I apoligize, I asked at the wrong talk (WP:CBBALL). This is a foreign basketball highlights quetion: A recent edit to Manny Harris has removed some POY content from the infobox. I do not understand the reasoning behind this.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 17:30, 25 August 2017 (UTC)
Shea Ili
Hi all. User:Schwede66 tagged Shea Ili with being written like an advertisement and requiring copy editing. I challenge anyone in the basketball community to have a look over the article and see if any copy editing needs to be done. I was thorough in my research and source gathering for the article. I certainly did not set out to write a player ad, nor is it WP:OR. I wrote the article with the same tone, goal and neutrality as any other article I've created here. I appreciate the time and consideration anyone gives to the article, as I'd like the tags to be removed as soon as possible. Cheers. DaHuzyBru (talk) 07:17, 26 August 2017 (UTC)
