thread_title: Scouting Report

message: Just for clarification, I changed the article to say he was 7'0", even though TIME said he was 6'11", because the article was written three years ago, when Yi was quite young and he has obviously grown since then. Hanuab 06:33, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Height

message: How does this qualify as a "good article" candidate when it consistently refers to the subject by a derisive nickname coined by Bill Simmons?  Other than that it's a generally well-written article, but that is pretty ridiculous.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.181.104.216 (talk) 01:23, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  The Chairman 

message: "A Chinese report in November 2007 by "Shidai" Magazine traced Yi's past in the Youth Sports School and middle school" -- isn't this just Time magazine? Just mentioning this so that a wider audience can appreciate the source. In any event, I think the publication should be italicised? Chensiyuan (talk) 02:40, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Magazine

message: After there was that much trouble with Yi not wanting to sign with Milwaukee because of the small chinese population I wonder how big it is in New Jersey and how happy he is with that aspect of his new city? He never said anything about it or was asked? 91.39.212.123 (talk) 01:27, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Chinese population in New Jersey? 

message: In March 2009, Yi's play became the subject of much criticism.  His string of poor performances led Lawrence Franks to bench Yi in the last quarter with the game on the line repeatedly.  His disastrous 1 for 8 shooting night in Cleveland on March 22, 2009 contributed to a crucial loss in the Net's run at a playoff spot.   It appears unlikely that Yi will hold his starting position.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.73.166.93 (talk) 02:25, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Criticism of Yi 

message: I find it incredibly hard to believe that Yi was born in 1987, as right here on his Wikipedia page it lists statistics from his CBA career, which started in 2002-03.  So unless it is ordinary for 15 year olds to play professional basketball in China, and I highly doubt that it is, there is no way this kid was born in 1987.  Can we get any further information as to the average age of rookies in the CBA?  You'd think 15 year old playing professionally anywhere would be international news, on some level at least.
:You are entitled to doubt the truthfulness of the birthdate. But we can't do anything about that, since it is supported by reputable sources.—Chris!c/t 04:06, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Andrei Kirilenko played for Spartak St. Petersburg when he was 15.  So it's not impossible. Zagalejo^^^ 03:32, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Year of birth issue 

message: The 2005 CBA allowed assignments of 1st or 2nd year players.  The 2011 CBA says that in 2012–13, "there will be no limit on the number of times players with three years or less of experience can be assigned to their team’s NBA D-League affiliate."  Is the cutoff for 2011–12 two years or less or three years or less experience?—Bagumba (talk) 07:58, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I guess the cutoff is still two years of experience. I've fixed that. Anyway, Sean Williams who has 3 years of NBA experience has been assigned twice to the Legends, so Yi is clearly not the first player to be benefited from the rule, which justifies this revert, despite what the source says. — MT (talk) 08:16, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, it fails WP:RS for that statement: "Each source must be carefully weighed to judge whether it is reliable for the statement being made and is the best such source for that context."—Bagumba (talk) 17:43, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
