Talk:2011 FIBA Asia Championship

Please wait until there is official word from FIBA Asia regarding who is the host of the 2011 FIBA Asia Championship
Other IPs are changing the host even though there is no news yet on which country will be the new host. I suggest that they wait untill FIBA Asia officially announces the host. FIBA Asia's website does not have any info yet. 112.210.197.221 (talk) 13:36, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

Table widths
Can the PF, PD and PA columns at least be wider than 30px? At the end of the round there'll be at least 3 digits there so they'd be squeezed. See for example, EuroBasket 2011. – H T  D  11:41, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

Player disqualifications
Can someone find a non-Philippine news source for the player disqualifications? Thanks. – H T  D  15:57, 18 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Qatari players ? Mohsen1248 (talk) 03:54, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I heard there were Lebanese and Filipinos too. – H T  D  10:01, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
 * here is an english article from china (I think) that offers little in details but promises punishment.18abruce (talk) 13:45, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Were there Lebanese also disqualified? i thought were a couple from them that were barred from playing. Now we have Filipino and Chinese sources. – H T  D  14:07, 19 September 2011 (UTC)


 * I added a source to the article, and added a sentence to the game description explaining that they fouled themselves out in protest. Seems awkward to me, but I am not sure what else to say short of creating a paragraph explaining the whole situation...and I don't think we have all the facts yet.18abruce (talk) 19:46, 19 September 2011 (UTC)


 * FIBA Asia questioned the eligibility of many players, 2 from Lebanon, 1 from Syria, 5 from Qatar and 2 from the Philippines,
 * Two Lebanese players (Bassel Bawji and Charles Tabet) had no problem and FIBA Asia let them play from the start.
 * Two Filipino players (Marcio Lassiter and Chris Lutz) got cleared just before the 4th game.
 * Syrian player (Eder Araujo) missed the first day but cleared to play after that.
 * But these 5 Qatari players remain ineligibile. Tanguy Ngombo, Ousseynou N'Diaye, Mansour El-Hadary, Hassan Mohamed and Mame Ndour. all these players aren't Qatari and they played for Qatar with fake passports (I have no source for the last line).
 * I think I can find enough Arabic or English sources for all these things, write a paragraph about it and I will add the references. but for now I removed that statement from the game report, I think it's not a good place for that. Mohsen1248 (talk) 22:54, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I'd write something later,, but I'd omit the 1 Lebanese as it seems they were OK to begin with. – H T  D  18:10, 23 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Good call, it sounded awkward as it was but I thought it merited inclusion somewhere.18abruce (talk) 02:30, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
 * They should be under the Squads section. – H T  D  03:52, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

Hmm... Nothing about this in any article. Nothing I could find, at least. Or isn't there any english language source for this? 85.217.22.185 (talk) 05:54, 27 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Heh. Sorry about not doing this. Do Lebanese news sources have some? – H T  D  08:47, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

Chinese, Korean and Korean pipe links
As per the other pipe links, shouldn't the pipe links for Chinese, Taiwanese and Korean players not include the initials for the given names unless 2 or more players from the same team have the same surnames? I don't think we'd see "Yao M" if Yao Ming played. – H T  D  14:50, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

Sam vs. Osama Daghles
This approaching WP:LAME territory. Since the WP:RM to move it to Sam Daghles failed, there's no reason for the primary link to go to a redirect. I dunno what's the issue with other ~2k bytes of text on the reversions. – H T  D  12:09, 10 March 2012 (UTC)
