Talk:Wilt Chamberlain

Semi-protected edit request on 2 February 2023
the only player in NBA history to average at least 30 points and 20 rebounds per game in a season, a feat he accomplished seven times.

He actually did this eight times. Not seven. 2601:143:C602:DE60:C59A:6948:179C:776 (talk) 19:23, 2 February 2023 (UTC)

 * I recall Wilt being listed at 290 in his last years with LA, though he may have weighed more. Not too long after retiring, he was on some TV show and when asked "what are you up to?"  he replied, "about 345".  But in his early years, he didn't weigh nearly that much.  Maybe 250 as a rookie, 275 mid-career, listed weights.2600:6C50:800:2787:9C01:F4F1:E4BB:5DCE (talk) 18:27, 7 November 2023 (UTC)

49 minutes, not 48
The article says Wilt once averaged 48 minutes a game for a season. Incorrect. I don't have a reference handy, but he actually averaged 49.1 minutes/game if I remember correctly (there were some overtimes). Also he played all but two minutes of the season-- he was thrown out of one game.2600:6C50:800:2787:9C01:F4F1:E4BB:5DCE (talk) 18:12, 7 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Actually, in the article, in the year-by year summary near the bottom, it says 48.5.2600:6C50:800:2787:9C01:F4F1:E4BB:5DCE (talk) 18:24, 7 November 2023 (UTC)

Period should go inside the quotation mark in below:

 * Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done: Per MOS:LOGICAL, Wikipedia usues logical quotations, placing punctuation outside the quote.—Bagumba (talk) 04:54, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
 * You don't understand logical quotation rules. Pursuant to them, periods only go outside quotations if such would be "logical". (Get it?). 76er great Billy Cunningham's statement about Chamberlain "logically" ends in a period, and, therefore, the period should "logically" be inside the quotation mark. 2601:189:4102:2920:6C00:D411:896F:8354 (talk) 01:58, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
 * ✅ per MOS:LQ. I checked the source, and the passage there is As former teammate Billy Cunningham once said, “The NBA Guide reads like Wilt’s personal diary.” —C.Fred (talk) 02:06, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
