Carmelo Anthony
The article looks fine. The problem is references. There needs to be a lot more references in the "Awards and honors" section, especially Consensus National Freshman of the Year & Unanimous choice as Big East Freshman of the Year. You don't need a reference for each achievement to avoid citation-overkill. For example, being on the Olympic team is very easy to be verified by anyone who spends a few minutes to look it up on Google.

You also need to have consistent reference formats. Reference #29 to 32, 38, 40 to 42 are not consistent with the rest. Also, format on reference #39 looks broken. OhanaUnitedTalk page 16:54, 4 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Sorry it's taken me so long. There's quite a bit of work that needs to be done for the article, though it's mostly simple things. It's in the polishing phase, so to speak. Check my talk page for a few notes. I'll expand later. I have a lot going on, so I haven't been able to spend a lot of time on it yet. LaraLove|  Talk  18:42, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

Syracuse Bball
Thanks, the Syracuse page is lookin good as well. Well, other than that whole 2003 championship over Kansas part ;-) Ryan2845 (talk) 05:10, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

CUSE
Sorry for the delay, but the program's page looks good as do the season pages completed so far. I'd like to get a start on the 1975 and 1987 team pages since they were the other 2 final four years. I'll try and do what I can, but let me know if I can help you out with anything you're working on. I'm gonna start the 1987 season in my sandbox, which IIRC you can get to from my user page.

 * And the 1987 team's page has been created here. I seemed to focus more on the tournament than the regular seaosn, as it was easier to find info on the tourney.  As usual, feel free to upgrade, edit, fix, etc. --Darry2385 (talk) 02:44, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
 * oops, for some reason I always thought they went before. oh well, thanks for fixing them.  I saw all the NY Times refs on the 1996 team's page, and I would have done the regular season for 1987, but it was getting late.  I'll keep working on some more.  And thanks for the barnstar! --Darry2385 (talk) 18:24, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

I am sorry I reverted it, but now that you have referenced the Press Release source, the appearance is more acceptable. Before it was in all caps and did not look encyclopedic. Thank you--Startstop123 (talk) 19:55, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for clarifying. To the contrary, I actually saw all the contributions you made and am very impressed and you seem to be a great editor. Thanks again.--Startstop123 (talk) 20:04, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

Syracuse basketball seasons.
Just an observation. The template needs some work. It has a reference to bowl games. We should have something that says "Tourneyresult" or something. Also, it auto-links to Syracuse Orange, but, when I was there, it was known as the Orangemen. So the autolink needs to work more robustly. I'm not good at templates, if you can help out, I'll finish 78-79. Orange Marlin Talk• Contributions 01:46, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

Carmelo Anthony
I'm sorry for making the Carmelo Anthony page less objective. You were right about that. The phrase "sucker punch" is certainly not neutral. I do not see, however, what is wrong with reporting the fact that Anthony ran away after laying the punch on Mardy Collins' face. I don't see why that information makes wikipedia seem any less like an encyclopedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.185.222.35 (talk) 03:29, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

Re:Eli Manning pass to David Tyree‎
After reading the article, I found it is somewhat POV anyways, calling it one of the greatest plays of all time but only backing that up with one source. That is very weaselly. I've made it more neutral, so hopefully that will convince the IP to stop adding his two cents. If he doesn't stop, we can report him. -- Scorpion0422 12:58, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

Syracuse Orange men's lacrosse
In the National Championships section, Syracuse is shown as having a national title in 1920 (USILA Champions), 1922 (USILA Champions), 1924 (USILA Champions), 1925 (USILA Champions). United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association has Syracuse listed as USILA champ in 1922 & 1924, but not 1920 & 1925. Navy is shown as the USILA champ in these years. It looks like this list was derived from Hickoksports - http://www.hickoksports.com/history/ncamlacr.shtml - and that the USILAs own site doesn't have a list of champions. Could you produce a reference check that Syracuse was USILA champion or co-champion (or perhaps ILA champ) in 1920 & 1925? I couldn't find any such reference. Thanks. --10stone5 (talk) 18:23, 29 July 2008 (UTC)


 * OK - I'll update the United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association page with this reference. Thanks for the source. --10stone5 (talk) 01:24, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
