We edit conflicted. I restored your improper citation removal and left your grammar changes. I present three refs for a point that they were ranked much of the season. I don't see how you can make this point with a single reference.--

There are far, far, far too many references in the Jabari Parker article. Compare Park to
Paul Pierce: 43 in-line citations for a high school basketball player (several of which do not directly relate to Parker, but to his teammate or team) compared to 31 for a NBA finals MVP with a dozen or so years playing at the highest possible level. The incredible number of references for Parker is harmful to the article and distracting. Having three references to show his team was highly ranked or that his teammates are also strong players does not make the article better.--

Namiba (
talk·contribs) has claimed that the
current version of the article has too many references and has
removed many references. The argument that
Paul Pierce with only 31 citations is proper wikification is ludicrous. I was the first wikipedian to achieve 250
WP:GAs and until this month had the most in wikipedia history. I am somewhat of an authority on construction of this quality level article. A proper construction of Paul Pierce's life should have about 200 references. Nowadays, I mostly only do GAs that can get by with 50 refs or less, which limits me to mostly high school and college athletes. The problem is not that this article has too many refs, but that Pierce has too few.--

I am glad you have such a high opinion of your editing, but regardless of your so-called "authority", many of the references in this article are simply not necesscary. Three references to show his team was highly ranked during one year of high school is complete overkill.--

Regardless of whether I really know what I am talking about, how can you look at the Paul Pierce article and present it as exemplary in any way. It has been about 4 years since that quality of an article was considered good on WP. Since you are not listening, I will repeat what I said above: "I present three refs for a point that they were ranked much of the season. I don't see how you can make this point with a single reference."--

(2) In "Sophomore year": is it "the USA Today" or just "USA Today"? I know most newspapers use the definite article, but it seems like I've heard USA Today without it.
This article is way too long. There is very little about his high school career that is that important and certainly does not merit a spinoff article. A 175kb article for an 18 year old is ridiculous. What is the article going to look like when he's 33 and in the NBA?

I don't see what's so special about his high school career as opposed to, say, LeBron James or any other super talented player. It doesn't need to be split, it needs to be deleted.

Sry, but I'm 100% with the anonymous editor's comment above. There's way too much fancruft (including stats, personal life etc.) in this article. Whole sections just devoted to his preseason actions and who he is compared to, even a lot of players that don't even play his position? Seriously? Imo, this what-did-he-do-and-who-said-what-about-it kind of listing arbitrary details has really gotton out of control. Btw, I don't know of any other player's career section that's been made into a separate article, let alone his high school career. --

I just wanted to congratulate the editors who worked to improve this article by cutting much of the fat away. It could probably use a bit more tightening up, but compared to what this article was, the results have been impressive. Good job.

Thankfully, the
article on his high school career has been deleted, but the section about his high school career is still way too long. Do we really need to know the results of nearly every significant high school basketball game Parker participated in? What makes Parker so special as to have such a detailed documentation of his achievements in high school?
