[edit] Dalembert Canadian?

I don't think he should be counted as a Canadian citizen, given the fact that he was denied a Canadian passport. He only wants to play for Canada. See the bottom of this article (though ESPN doesn't say anything about nationality in his official bio): http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/recap?gameId=261108028 JesseRafe 04:17, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

This seems like it should be a simple thing to establish, but I can't find anything that definitely says he's a Haitian citizen. This Sports Illustrated article at least implies he's not a Canadian citizen: "Samuel Dalembert said it is too early to make a commitment, but the 76ers center is considering playing for Canada's Olympic basketball team. Born in Haiti, Dalembert says he is eligible to play for Canada because his mother, Yurose Raymond, is a Canadian citizen." An article I found on caribvoice.org says that Dalembert isn't a Canadian citizen--but the link set off the spam filter, so maybe it's not a good source. It's logical to conclude that he's a Haitian citizen, but I'd be happier if a news source simply stated that. --Akhilleus (talk) 07:08, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Starting Lineup

I have created the "Current Starting Lineup" section as the old one was poorly made and was unaligned with the rest of the article. CityPride 09:27, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Syracuse Nationals

On January 13th, Darthflyer removed the Syracuse Nationals historical content from this article, which was later (January 22nd) copied to a separate article: Syracuse Nationals. Is everyone happy with this separation? No other NBA team article has done a similar split in spite of team moves (e.g., Atlanta Hawks, Sacramento Kings, Washington Wizards, Los Angeles Lakers). Then again, the Syracuse content was fairly lengthy. Myasuda 12:31, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Upon further review . . . regarding the Los Angeles Lakers article, there was an article split, albeit not between the Minneapolis and Los Angeles days. Rather, the entire history was moved to a separate article History of the Los Angeles Lakers. Perhaps this would be a better route to take here. Myasuda 12:37, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
Syracuse Nationals is currently Wikiproject Syracuse's "Cleanup/Expansion of the Week." -newkai t-c 17:51, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
Let me also state: Although the Syracuse history is extensive, and thus should be separated out, the stats (eg. the championship) still count towards the 76ers... It's the same franchise! -newkai t-c 17:12, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
I agree with the separation as I indicated in my second entry above. But be aware that there is a discussion of this matter at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject National Basketball Association where support given to a re-merge the Nats with the 76ers. You may wish to add your two cents to that discussion. Myasuda 01:40, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Jayson Williams

I removed him from the not to be forgotten list. Only played a hundred games with a few points average (http://www.nba.com/playerfile/jayson_williams/?nav=page).CityPride 10:29, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sources

This article needs sources, I just tagged it. Tayquan 11:20, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

I gave it a B rating to be generous though, mainly because of the lack of sources. Tayquan 11:22, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Philadelphia 76ers logo.png

Image:Philadelphia 76ers logo.png 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.
