Olympic hometowns
Pretty much all of the the USA Basketball site are period-correct. For 1968, Mike Barrett was in the service stationed in Norfolk. The AAU players for the Akron Goodyear Wingfoots were gainfully employed by Goodyear and lived where they worked. You are changing hometowns without a consistent source to back them up. There is a reason to the USA Basketball site was used as the source of roster info. Rikster2 (talk) 02:22, 3 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Larry Bird’s hometown (where he lived) absolutely WAS Brookline, where he had lived for 13 years in 1992. It’s not birthplace and he was a grown ass man Rikster2 (talk) 02:25, 3 November 2021 (UTC)
 * I never said birthplace, the changes I've made is where the athlete / player attended high school based on their individual articles. A player's residence during their high school career is widely accepted by the media and public at-large as their hometown.2601:5C4:4301:5420:E18D:F65D:2D6E:F0B8 (talk) 02:31, 3 November 2021 (UTC)
 * But where they attended high school only correlates to hometown if they were in college at the time (assuming the family didn’t move). For AAU and NBA players that’s not their home town any more because they were working adults, often owning their own home in said hometown. The USA Basketball site uses the hometown from the correct year which is why that is the consistent source Rikster2 (talk) 02:39, 3 November 2021 (UTC)
 * I am an adult. My hometown is where I live and work Rikster2 (talk) 02:40, 3 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Well that's your opinion and normative statements like that shouldn't be applied to Wikipedia articles (which violates WP:NOR) 2601:5C4:4301:5420:E18D:F65D:2D6E:F0B8 (talk) 02:46, 3 November 2021 (UTC)
 * No, actually the original research is happening on your part. These articles were using a single source for hometowns from the USA Basketball site which shows period-specific rosters. It is you who have been changing these to high school towns per your opinion when that is not what the specific sources say - the USA rosters, like college article rosters, use period-specific information. It's why Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is called Lew Alcindor on his UCLA team articles. Rikster2 (talk) 03:27, 3 November 2021 (UTC)
