Wording in the National Team Section

The national team section includes this sentence: "Team USA won all of its games en route to the gold medal, breaking their drought of gold medals dating back to the 2000 Olympics". They won the gold at the 2000 Olympics, didn't in 2004 and again won in 2008. That is a single Olympics. Can this really be called a "drought"? It's a single missed gold. 99.101.160.223 (talk) 20:43, 24 February 2023 (UTC)

 Fixed. Agreed, I reworded it. –CWenger (^ • @) 21:19, 24 February 2023 (UTC)

This should be changed from In July 2023, a man sued Howard for assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and false imprisonment. The lawsuit stemmed from an encounter with the man at Howard's Georgia residence in July 2021. Howard denied the allegations and asked that the lawsuit be dismissed, stating that the two had engaged in "consensual sexual activity".[180]

to In July 2023, a man sued Howard in a civil suit for money. He accused Dwight of assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and false imprisonment. The lawsuit stemmed from an encounter with the man at Howard's Georgia residence in July 2021.Many of the accusers claims are inconsistent and currently being investigated. Howard denied the allegations and asked that the lawsuit be dismissed, stating that the incident was a fabricated story made public for profit. ELIBERT, M. (2023, October 28).

 Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{Edit semi-protected}} template. Particularly, needs consensus to remove the part about the consensual encounter. —Bagumba (talk) 05:54, 12 November 2023 (UTC)

 Partly done: Added "and that the 'civil case had been made public for profit.'" to the end of existing text. I see no need to remove the current consensual activity text as that is also in Howard's statement. Also your provided source does not support the proposed text of "Many of the accusers claims are inconsistent and currently being investigated." If you have a source that does say this, provide it and reopen the request/make a new request then. Cannolis (talk) 05:56, 12 November 2023 (UTC)

Correction on “Other Media” section

It says that Dwight was the cover athlete of NBA Live 09. However that is incorrect as Tony Parker from the Spurs was on the cover. Dwight was in fact on the cover of NBA Live 10. The “NBA Live 09” should be corrected to “NBA Live 10” 74.133.10.40 (talk) 06:23, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

Source directly from Electronic Arts, the maker of the game, announcing Dwight as the cover athlete for NBA Live 10:

For good measure, here is EA’s press release from the previous year announcing Tony Parker as the cover athlete of NBA Live 09 (which the Wikipedia page incorrectly states Dwight as the cover athlete of:

Please change the team of Dwight Howard since there’s a source that said he signed with a Taiwan basketball team.
