Unverified?

What are the unverified claims or original research? --AW 22:59, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

There are no claims; it was added here [1] without comment. I shall remove.--Runcorn 22:09, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

W0000t, thanks for the through analysis and the green plus! Onomatopoeia 19:28, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Red overseas

I didn't see it mentioned, but Red brought players overseas in the off-season and ran camps that helped establish basketball as an international game. Many of the coaches who later led their national teams studied at those camps.

Sorry, no references. I just remember reading about it in newspaper articles years ago. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MarkinBoston (talk • contribs) 14:23, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

GA review concerns

I'm expressing my concerns regarding this GA review. I felt that this article has passed the review even though it didn't meet the standards. First, notes and reference section should be merged. Reference #6 and #10 have no sources! Where did you obtain the information from? This article needs more varieties of references than the existing ones. I also found File:RedMemshamrock.png lack of fair use rationales. Lead section should be summarized and shortened furthur. OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 15:54, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Addressed your concerns. Fair use is written, the refs straightened out, but plz explain what should be cut from the lead without violating WP:LEAD. —Onomatopoeia 11:58, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Delisted GA

As my concerns are not addressed, the article will now be delisted. OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 14:59, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Note that this delisting came without messaging WP:NBA, main authors User:Onomatopoeia (me), User:Chensiyuan and others, or WP:GA/R. See also Wikipedia:Editor_review/OhanaUnited. —Onomatopoeia 12:00, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

It is now on WP:GA/R. Onomatopoeia 12:48, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Good Article Review

Article now in Good Article Review to appeal vs the GA retraction. Also it is a re-GAC. —Onomatopoeia 15:23, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

I passed it, my one suggestion is that a good lead, as a summary, doesn't need a lot of refs.Sumoeagle179 02:37, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, it should not have been delisted in the first place w/o notifying the main authors for copyedit first. —Onomatopoeia 11:53, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

US English, please

Please adhere to the fact that this an article about an American, so when editing, please use US English word spellings (i.e. honors as opposed to honours). --Jbossbarr 12:02 15 December 2007 (UTC)

Needs heavy rework

Here's an article that makes it clear the GA requirements have gotten much stricter over the years. It was passed as GA in 2007, but today would probably be an immediate fail. I'd list it for WP:GAR if that process wasn't a joke. Instead I'll just recommend that someone pick this up and either trim some unsourced content or add more sources. 15 inline citations for an article this size won't cut it. Statements like Few, if any, coaches can match Auerbach's record of wins and successful mentorship of his players, and most of the legacy section needs citations. I'm not that familiar with basketball history, but I know this guy is a huge icon, and it'd be a shame to see this article lose its GA status. Lizard (talk) 17:11, 23 August 2016 (UTC)
