thread_title:  Misspelling 

message: Hammon is still playing for the Silver Stars of the WNBA, yet only her statistics through 2011 are displayed on her page. Similarly, she was inaccurately described as a "former" professional basketball player but the WNBA season is currently underway.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 149.142.39.88 (talk) 19:24, 5 August 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Stats need to be updated 

message: I think only major international events like Olympics, FIBA Worlds, etc... are to be included in the medal box, not friendly tournaments like the RWJ Cup.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A01:E35:2E96:BA90:584B:41FC:661D:D05C (talk) 12:39, 10 August 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  Popular culture 

message: The article talks about her like she is really russian. "First russian coach in WNBA" and so on. This is a hypocrisy and you should remove it.Ilyaroz (talk) 03:28, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Hammon is a Russian citizen, played extensively in Russia, and represented Russia internationally multiple times. This meets Wikipedia's guidelines for describing her, accurately, as both American and Russian. See MOS:CITIZEN for more details. Irregulargalaxies (talk) 16:00, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: While Hammon is Russian, the overuse of superlatives in the lede is silly. That she was the first Russian to do something is not worth remarking on, let alone four times. GreatCaesarsGhost 20:56, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Really Russian?

message: In 2022, Hammon stated that her Russian citizenship had "expired" (see https://www.reuters.com/world/exclusive-coach-hammon-once-star-russia-urges-putin-free-brittney-griner-2022-08-03). Citizenships worldwide generally do not "expire" - they have to be actively renounced. A passport can expire, but citizenship would still be intact. Nothing in the current article on Russian citizenship law indicates that expiration of either citizenship or nationality exists. I think Hammon's status either needs confirmation from an official Russian source on her, or a reference needs to be added to this article that indicates how Russian citizenship can expire. Until then, marking the fact in the article as "dubious" and retaining descriptions of Hammon as both Russian and American in the text. Irregulargalaxies (talk) 16:13, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: @Irregulargalaxies Exactly. Russian citizenship doesn't expire - one must renounce it. 198.48.228.9 (talk) 02:51, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Did she renounce her US citizenship when she became a Russian citizen?  I.E. is she a dual national?  --rogerd (talk) 06:36, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
