List of individual National Basketball Association scoring leaders

 * Nominator(s): — Chris!  c t 

Another NBA list written by me. Comments welcomed.— Chris!  c t 23:10, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

Comments from 
 * Lead
 * The following list individual players who lead the National Basketball Association (NBA) with the highest point per game average in a given season. -- list --> "lists"
 * Both George Gervin and Allen Iverson have clinched four scoring titles in their career[5] while George Mikan, Neil Johnston and Bob McAdoo have clinched it three times. -- Comma before while
 * List and key
 * Make a section header for the list itself and optionally for the key, if not just place it at the top of the new section.
 * This was not done.-- TRU  CO   00:37, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Opps, I missed this one. Now done.— Chris!  c t 02:33, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
 * The 3-point field-goal made column needs to have its content center aligned like the rest of the list the columns.


 * I can remove the center alignment if that is what you mean.— Chris!  c t 18:34, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Sorry, forget about that, I just found it awkward that the column is stretched like that.-- TRU  CO   00:37, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Done.— Chris!  c t 02:33, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
 * No no, revert that, the center aligning of the emdashes has nothing to do with the width of the column, in fact its proper to list it in the center. However, maybe the name of the column can be coded with break parameters to decrease the width of it? If not, its still fine.-- TRU  CO   03:10, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I see. I think I did it right this time.— Chris!  c t 03:49, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Remove at least 2 images because they stretch past the notes section, and they should stop beforehand.
 * Notes
 * Remove the commas from notes B, C, and E they are not complete statements.
 * References
 * If you're going to link one of the publishers, you may as well link the rest for consistency.

-- TRU  CO   16:49, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I removed the links. Everything else done.— Chris!  c t 18:34, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Comments from --  SRE.K.A.L. 24 [c]
 * "Wilt Chamberlain holds the all-time records for total points scored (4029) and points per game (50.4)..." that's in a season, right? Also with the Bryant one.
 * Right— Chris!  c t 22:45, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
 * The readers may be confused whether it is all-time, or just the season. Just clarify it by adding "in a season" or something similar. --  SRE.K.A.L. | L.A.K.ERS ]] 23:04, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Although I think "both were achieved in the 1961–62 season." in the sentence "Wilt Chamberlain holds the all-time records for total points scored (4029) and points per game (50.4); both were achieved in the 1961–62 season." already clarify the meaning. But done anyway.
 * "...and Bryant have won the scoring titles twice." have --> have each; titles --> title.
 * Done— Chris!  c t 22:45, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
 * You could include that O'Neal is the only season scoring leader to have never had a three point field goal in his respective seasons.
 * I think the lead has enough material already.— Chris!  c t 22:45, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Ehh...you could still add it, since it is kind of a fascinating fact. --  SRE.K.A.L. | L.A.K.ERS ]] 23:04, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
 * The reason I don't want to add is because I probably need a ref for it and I am not sure if I can find one for it.— Chris!  c t 00:59, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Couldn't the general reference work? --  SRE.K.A.L. | L.A.K.ERS ]] 01:20, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Don't think so, but I added it anyway.— Chris!  c t 01:53, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Abdul-Jabbar did not change his name until after the 1970–71 season. So I think that he should be named Lew Alcindor for his scoring title in 1970–71.
 * Oh, I forgot that. Now done— Chris!  c t 22:45, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
