replies: text: His full name is indeed Stephen Nash, per his acceptance on his Order of Canada is spelt that way.(For the record, Steven is American spelling whereas Stephen is British spelling) For him to accept the highest honour in his home country and have his name spelt wrong wouldn't make any sense now does it?--Cahk (talk) 05:50, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

#Lead (not fully satisfactory yet for GA; contingent on touching up of other areas)
#High school and family

The sections on his NBA career/player profile/off the court/int'l career leave much to be desired at the moment and I would work on it in due time. A round of copy-editing is probably needed as well.

message: There's been some debate lately over the number of times that Nash has shot 50-40-90.  Correction to the proper number has been made several times but due to a misunderstanding is repeatedly undone due to the belief that .890 = 90%.  From the NBA Bio page of Steve Nash for 2008-09...
"First player in NBA history to shoot 50 percent from the field (50%), 40 percent from three-point range (44%) and 90 percent from the free-throw line (93%) in three different seasons"
The only way this would be the case is if the year he shot .899 is not counted.  Would very much like to see the correct information in the article, but am not willing to repeatedly edit the information just to have it edited back to the incorrect information.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 211.7.138.100 (talk) 23:35, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: [[WP:ENGVAR]] disruption

message: Player profile: and his total assists, assists per game, and three-point field goals made rank him as one of the top 15 players in league history--The preceding statement seems to be saying Nash is one of the 15 best NBA players of all time.   I think what the fragment is trying to convey that he ranks in the top 15 of those 3 statistical categories. The former is a debate for the ages; the latter is statistically verifiable. Additionally, Nash ranks in the top 15 (actually, top 10) in 3-pt percentage. What's more, he is in the top 10 in career assists and assists per game...wording could be added to make Nash's current standing in career assists, 8th, to stand out more. He will likely be in the 6th spot by the end of the season, passing Payton and Thomas.  To be ranked 6th in such a lofty category is a true feat.

Santa Clara did not win the West Coast Conference in Nash's freshman season of 1992-93; they finished third. The Broncos won the WCC Tournament, defeating top seed Pepperdine in the final. In the final, Nash scored 23 points.

message: The Steve Nash#Player profile section is claiming that Nash has had five 50–40–90 seasons, as does the Field goal (basketball) article. The 50–40–90 club article itself says that Nash's 2006–7 season doesn't count because his FT% was actually 89.9%, which although it rounds up to 90% means it doesn't technically count as a 50–40–90 season. This number is also listed on Nash's NBA stats page for that season. It seems to me that Nash has only had four 50–40–90 seasons, not five. Jason Quinn (talk) 05:25, 21 December 2013 (UTC)

replies: text: I agree with this. Can't find a specific policy on which images should be used, but it appears to be common practice to use the image that best depicts the subject at the height of their notability, rather than what's the newest. A high-quality Suns image would probably be best, although obviously it has to be free to use (the one you linked is not). MavsFan28 (talk) 13:51, 27 March 2017 (UTC)
