  • Hi, I came by to promote this, but notice that the chart lacks citations. Where did you find this information? Yoninah (talk) 00:05, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
@Yoninah: The reference listed under "General" should cover the table. Regards.—Bagumba (talk) 00:44, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
  • Thanks. Could you add a cite to this source after this sentence:
  • Following is a list of players who have played the most seasons in the NBA.
  • (I would do it myself, but I'm not sure how to link to your references section.) Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 00:52, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
Per WP:GENREF, general references typically do not need to be used in an inline citation as well. It defeats the flexibility of using a general reference. Still, I've redone the table to use inline citations instead. Cheers.—Bagumba (talk) 01:14, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
  • Thank you – both for fixing the referencing and for the cordial way you went about it. Restoring tick per Joseph2302's review. Yoninah (talk) 01:38, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
  • For what it's worth, I'd seen that the general reference supported the table, otherwise I wouldn't have passed it. Thank you for being vigilant though. Joseph2302 (talk) 18:22, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
