February 4
The basketball players page says he got arrested after he died....odd — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.87.67.240 (talk) 17:36, 4 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- The appropriate place to discuss the matter would be at that article's talk page. μηδείς (talk) 18:05, 4 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- No, it doesn't. It says he was arrested in 1997. It says he died in 2007. That's ten years earlier than he died. --Jayron32 19:47, 4 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Based on your confused edit [1] which broke an external link in a reference, I will make a wild guess that you are thinking of the text "Retrieved February 24, 2007" (two days after his death) in the reference you broke. That's the date a Wikipedia editor examined the reference for use in the article. It doesn't say anything about when the event in the reference took place.

- That would be appropriate if there was actually reason to discuss a change to the article, but there isn't. I was just trying to clear up the poster's confusion. Do you really think I should start an article talk page section to say "Somebody said something wrong about this article at Wikipedia:Reference desk/Entertainment, and here is what I guess they were thinking of"? I'm addressing the poster, not the editors of the article. PrimeHunter (talk) 00:01, 5 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
