Can you help with the Nate James page I just created?

Hello HTD- You are the foremost authority on Philippine basketball, so I thought I'd ask if you might be able to help with a page I just created for Nate James. His Eurobasket.com profile lists him as having played for Santa Lucia Realty (Philippines-PBA) in 2003, but no other info. Do you know if he played regular season games for them and if so could you add it to his infobox? Thanks for any help you can give! Rikster2 (talk) 00:45, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

Heh. I'm not the foremost authority, I just get info from more reliable authorities and dump them here (LOL). A quick Google News search didn't find anything, so I'd look for individual news articles later if he indeed played some games here. –HTD 03:43, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

FIBA

Hello. There is a collission inside the same source. FIBA gives this list [1] and in older files FIBA gave this list [2]. The latter one is older attribution. New FIBA's pages attribute medals separately, per historical country. I prefer this newer [3] because it is more precise and it makes no controversy. Do you agree with me? Pantagana (talk) 20:56, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

I'd accept this since it's newer. –HTD 03:51, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

The articles are pretty extensive already. If you're gunning for DYK this will surely pass as long as it doesn't fail the copyvio test. As for careers outside the U.S. I'd ask the people at
WP:BASKETBALL they can help. –HTD

I am aware that they will pass DYK. I just thought that there was a better chance to get errors corrected if I add things before they go to the main page. Will ask at BB.--

I'll see if I can find something before it goes up. DYK is slow these days so articles can be improved further while waiting. –HTD 18:57, 10 November 2011 (UTC)
Thanks. I also created

The name

Hello, Howard. Here you wrote " I don't think the team was called "FR Yugoslavia" at that time". That was in 1996. See article Serbia and Montenegro. "Following the breakup of Yugoslavia, it was established in 1992 as a federation called the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. In 2003, it was reconstituted as a political union called the State Union of Serbia and Montenegro. FRY aspired to to be a sole legal successor of SFR Yugoslavia, but those claims were opposed by other former republics. he UN also denied its request to automatically continue the membership of the former state. After the overthrow of Slobodan Milošević, the country rescinded those aspirations and accepted the opinion of Badinter Arbitration Committee about shared succession. From 1992 to 2000, some countries, including the USA, referred to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia as "Serbia and Montenegro". So in 1996 in Olympics they were FR Yugoslavia, not "Yugoslavia". Pantagana (talk) 14:18, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

In those days, they're called simply as "Yugoslavia" but with the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia flag and not the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. –HTD 14:20, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
See these FIBA, and interestingly, Sports-Reference, uses "Serbia and Montenegro". The official Olympics website uses simply "Yugoslavia".–HTD 14:46, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
