New stats pages

Just created three new NBA career stats pages:

• List of NBA career personal fouls leaders
• List of NBA career technical fouls leaders
• List of NBA career ejections leaders

I started with a simple list of rankings, names, and units but I was wondering if it's possible to get a fuller table with more complete player info like the other pages in {{NBA statistical leaders}}. I tagged them with {{List to table}} accordingly. I lack the energy and inclination to work through all of the wikitable source coding since it's not something I'm super efficient at, but if anyone else is willing to take it on, it would be extremely welcomed and appreciated.

p.s. the technical fouls page can also benefit from updates since the full 20-player overview-level master list I cited is from June 2021 and some of the players on the list have been active since then, so more recent citations for them on an individual basis would be helpful.

NBA win–loss record page needs assistance

An IP editor has been making edits, that while I am assuming are done with well-meaning intent, have been largely unconstructive. Please see the message I left on the article's talk page for further context, but the main gist of it is these edits have made the article bloated and less presentable.

Here is a comparison between:

• The April 26, 2024 version, prior to the bulk of these IP edits.
• The current version of the page (at least as of me leaving this message)
• The June 25, 2024 version prior to this IP editor reverting my restoration of my attempt to incorporate some of the info they've added, while also gutting the bloated-ness and undue weight added to topics such as the NBA Cup over on that page.

It is worth noting this editor has not made any edit summaries save for "dead url" on the most recent one, which I assume means they've read my edit summaries asking them to go to the talk page discussion and ignored that.

Also pinging @Wiiformii: as you reverted their edits, but then undid this stating the reversion was accidental. I do mostly agree with your initial assessment of the edits being unconstructive. Aside from the issue I mentioned in my post on the talk page discussion, the IP editor(s) have also added a slew of overlinking. Soulbust (talk) 02:26, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

Note the third version I linked above is the version I believe would be best to work on going forward. Soulbust (talk) 02:28, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

Oh, I didn't notice! Thank you for letting me know because I saw 7 revisions and assumed good faith in the edits, I did not notice the removal of dead links and manual of style issues, but I also think that revision is the most appropriate, I just think the IP needs to possibly read the manual of style for articles. Wiiformii (talk) 02:31, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

There are definitely some things I think are constructive, such as the various notes about teams' histories regarding their ABA records. However, a good chunk of their edits are not all too helpful imo, particularly the undue weight placed on the NBA Cup information and the over-linking of pages throughout the article, especially in the see also section.

G League expansion drafts

Were there expansion drafts in 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019? I can't find info on these. I'm seeing recently added red links to {{NBA G League drafts}}. SportsGuy789 (talk) 20:23, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

Not that I know of no, the recent one that comes to mind is the Charlotte Hornets. ChillyWilly824 (talk) 19:07, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

You're referring to the NBA I think. I'm talking about the G League.

Themanwithnowifi, can you please weigh in? You added the red links, I'm imagining you're the person with good references. SportsGuy789 (talk) 02:55, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

[1], [2], [3], [4] Those are the ones who are still red. I made already two others. Themanwithnowifi (talk) 04:44, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

Center dispute

Why are we subjected to a certain country for one player, while there are other NBA players not displaying their home country wording? Why not use the universal word “Center” instead of possibly confusing people. ChillyWilly824 (talk) 19:06, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

MOS:TIES is a site-wide guideline. It avoids re-inventing the wheel every time there is an English-variant dispute. Have you read it? —Bagumba (talk) 12:30, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

Also, for the record Basketball Canada uses the -re spelling here while TSN uses both on the same page -- Earl Andrew - talk 13:13, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
