Talk:Tyler Hansbrough

message: Which is correct?  The article says he was born in Colombia, while the sidebox says he was born in Poplar Bluff.  Brian Ryans 16:13, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

message: In hindsight, the 'notable incident' with Geral Henderson, Jr. seems rather trite. It's a slippery slope to start logging fouls, flagrant or otherwise, unless observable patterns or serious injury occurs. I can think of several 'notable incidents' with a number of players but they aren't detailed in their bios. Pepto gecko 18:50, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

message: I just read that Tyler's little brother Ben played for Miss St. but transferred to Notre Dame before the 2008-2009 seasonhttp://collegebasketball.rivals.com/content.asp?SID=1146&CID=629070 I didn't see anything in this article about that, and didn't see a section that would apply to, and didn't want to create a section just for that little tid-bit.72.205.45.100 (talk) 18:48, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

message: His name is Andrew Tyler Hansbrough, not Tyler Andrew Hansbrough. I couldn't figure out how to correct this on the semi-protected page. Tarheel482 (talk) 02:32, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Full Name Incorrect 

message: It looks like he died after getting drafted by the Pacers.  A lot of interesting things happened during his rookie season - but you wouldn't know it from this pathetic article.  I dropped by to see any there ever was any official explanation for his continued vertigo problems - problems which started halfway through his rookie season and continue to this day.  You know, the sort of thing that could end a career.  See Nick Esasky if you don't believe me.  Of course he had a bad rookie season, right?   Err..  he averaged 10.8 points a game in November once he started getting regular playing time.  This included games where he scored 13, 19, 21, 14, & 19.  He also averaged 5.7 rebounds a game in November too.  All that in 22 minutes a game.  So, yeah.  Two sentences on one line pretty much seems about right.
Why don't I add the information?  Well, I have a pet peeve about doing a bunch of work on something like this only to have some wiki-asshole delete it because I did not dot an "i" or cross a "t".  You know, like delete a couple hours of work because I did not include sources - all of which were EASILY verified.  And before you knee-jerk regurgitate WP:SOURCE; read this part: "It has always been good practice to make reasonable efforts to find sources oneself that support such material, and cite them."  Long-time revert-nazi's seem to be unable to retain that tidbit; which is probably because if heeded it would ruin some of the enjoyment they get over having their thumb on someone.
:Thanks for the soapbox. For as much time you spent ranting, you could have added a paragraph on his rookie season w/actual references. Jrcla2 (talk) 20:31, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

message: The article needs more sources. I have added some and have tagged some areas that either lack sources or have problematic sources. SunCrow (talk) 11:13, 2 April 2019 (UTC)
