message: There have been several attempts to include the following into the article.  I tried once to "neutralize" it according to WP:NPOV, but it was altered and then finally removed.  In the state here, it needs either to remove words like "embarrassed" and "antics" or have citations to show they apply.
:Leslie embarrassed American women's basketball with her antics at the medal awards during the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Despite being requested by officials to act in the Olympic spirit, during medal presentations Leslie insisted on wearing gold medals from 3 past Olympics whilst being awarded her teams current win. Leslie not only upstaged second and third placed competitors but distracted attention from her fellow team mates. Leslie's antics were viewed as grandiose and poor sportsmanship.
I've reverted it once again.  Please discuss here.

replies: text: That is not how I understand "consensus" to work, so I won't ask where you got the "score."  I would expect a conversation/debate about my concerns mentioned above:  the "embarrassment" and "antics" are not neutral and un-sourced.  They are still not neutral and un-sourced.  WHO was embarrassed and where is this documented?  WHO determined them to be grandiose?  It is a VERY strong consensus on wikipedia that articles must be WP:NPOV and properly sourced.  I don't think that unreasonable.  (John User:Jwy talk) 04:36, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

message: I thought the overall tone was over familiar in part because of calling her "Lisa" throughout. It is customary to use the person's last name, so I have changed that. Also the passage about her mother sounded judgmental and, in any case, some of the information in it was irrelevant. I have modified the tone throughout to read more like a typical encyclopedia entry. For comparison, see "Larry Summers." Ms. Leslie deserves an entry that is respectful.

message: Lilwun92 changed the size of Lisa Leslie from 250px to 200px without an edit summary.
I reverted, with an edit summary.
After reverting, I decided to see if there were guidelines for image size.
WP:IMAGE does say:
As a rule, images should not be set to a larger fixed size than the 180px default.
However, I decided to look at some featured Articles, assuming those have been checked carefully, and provide guidance for image size.
The first two I checked each had an image wider than 250px
* Matthew Brettingham 300px
* Bruce Castle 280px
Arguably, both are images that are horizontally oriented. So I decided to look at the sports category and select an article with a person’s image:
* Damon Hill 240 px
I’m not claiming this is a scientifically rigorous study, but I’ve found three FA’s with images wider than the “suggested” 180px. Given that reducing the Leslie image makes it look small within the infobox, I think it looks better to roughly fill the info box, so I reverted to the 250px size. --SPhilbrickT 18:44, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

message: Why are International and Olympic accomplishments listed separately from USA Basketball?  USA Basketball was the organization that selected Leslie for the international teams.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Absurdist1968 (talk • contribs) 23:39, 31 December 2010 (UTC)
