[edit] Format fault

Why does the first line start indented one space? I can't find anything in edit to fix it. RickK 02:24, 29 Jul 2003 (UTC)

Looks fine for me using Mozilla 1.4 on Windows. Maybe this is a technical issue with the new software. What browser are you using?--Robert Merkel 03:35, 29 Jul 2003 (UTC)
IE 6.0. But this seems to be the only article that I see this happening in. RickK 02:47, 30 Jul 2003 (UTC)
I was wrong. I'm seeing it happening in other articles now, too. But it does seem to have started since the new software. RickK 03:15, 30 Jul 2003 (UTC)

[edit] League's first year

Wasnt the leagues first year 1979, not 78? Koberulz 10:54, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] SMH article on Ch.9 broadcasting

I reckon we should scrap the mention of that article. It was such a beatup and had no evidence to point to. Burton was very careful not to give any indication some deal had been done.

I disagree...I believe it should be mentioned and can easily be added to if it hasn't happened. Big Dan 11:25, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
So you'll publish stuff here regardless of whether they're based on facts? The story seemed pure heresay. If it doesn't happen, you'll have to scrap it, and if it does happen, why not write about it then...when it is fact.
Not necessarily, you can always mention the rumours of such a deal. THOUSANDS of other articles here at Wikipedia, if not MILLIONS have done the same thing. And it wasn't like it was just made up. This was in a newspaper seen by thousands, and on a associated website seen by potientally millions. So its not like its been made up out of thin air by a punk looking to cause trouble. I'd leave it in there for the time being. Big Dan 12:58, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
Right, I have just added to the article that is ONLY a rumour. That way, it an be easily edited as being nothing more than a rumour, or if it does happen, it can be edited from that point as well. Does that make you happy, or do you want emulate Orwell by saying no such article exists? Big Dan 13:03, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

Just because the Herald ran a baseless claim, you think it's worth mentioning? The fact is they don't know either. You seem to think if it's in the Herald, it must have some authority. It's just a journalist speculating because they have to invent a story for the paper. There's absolutely no confirmation talks are happening, or even that the networks are interested. You're giving the journalist far too much credibility. On Wikipedia, I want to read facts about the NBL, not rumours.

Have I got news for you mate...pick up a copy of today's Australian, and turn to the Media section. Nine are about to announce that they will be broadcasting a one hour highlights package for the rest of the season. Oh, and a bit of advice. How about identifying yourself in future? Not that hard... In anycase, the article should stay. Big Dan 02:30, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
11.30am, starting October 15, on Nine and its affilates, highlights of the South Dragons and Wollongong Hawks. How you do like them apples? ;) Big Dan 02:33, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] All Star Game

Does anyone have any information on previous All Star games? I think it would be good to have a page (or just a section) on the NBL All Star Game. Such as previous teams, selection criteria, locations, etc. Aceboy 11:36, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Should be able to find that information in a Media Guide. Beg the league for a copy or ask a player/media person for one of their old spares.

[edit] Minor Edit

Coast FM don't have a Hoops Show anymore so i have taken it out of the broadcasting details.

[edit] Minor Edit 2

I've added that 3XX 1611 AM have begun broadcasting NBL in Melbourne - this can be confirmed on their website at http://www.radio1611.com.au and on their myspace page (which in their blog lists the first two games they covered).

I'm unsure if SEN in Melbourne still broadcast NBL or not. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.178.240.183 (talk) 17:29, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:NBL Australia.jpg

Image:NBL Australia.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Team Location Graphic

Could the author of this picture please adjust the location of Wollongong please? It is not below Canberra it is only just south of Sydney —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.101.13.42 (talk) 09:54, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
