Talk:Markelle Fultz

Jersey Number

Until it is officially confirmed that he is wearing that number during the regular season, it shouldn't be listed on his article.--MarcusPearl95 (talk) 05:36, 7 July 2017 (UTC)

Biogeography slip-up

Why is Upper Marlboro described as being "23 miles outside of" Annapolis instead of as something like "positioned 8 miles southeast of D.C.", the latter is much more definitive. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1010:B009:3CAF:8479:6313:45B1:1D39 (talk) 03:49, 12 April 2018 (UTC)

   Pass/Fail:

High school career

• "all-boys college-prep private school," - I understand what this means but it should be written as "college-preparatory"
• "As a 5-foot, 9-inch sophomore," - use the convert template on 5-foot, 9-inch
• "then-assistant coach Cory McCrae said" - THE MOS discourages use of the word "then" in this case
• "he measured 6 feet, 3 inches." - same as the second point
• Wikilink MVP to Most valuable player

References

• There is no access date to Reference 15
• References 16, 17, 18, 19 & 21 are missing their author(s)
• Reference 24 is missing Associated Press as the agency

A very good article overall. Just the minor nibbles from me. MWright96 (talk) 11:52, 20 April 2018 (UTC)

"On November 2018" = "In November 2018" 2605:E000:9149:8300:3C3F:FD1E:779D:1F04 (talk) 08:39, 2 December 2018 (UTC)

 Not done The only place November is listed is in the sentence " On November 20, 2018, his agent Raymond Brothers announced Fultz would not participate in practice or games until an apparent shoulder injury was evaluated; Fultz’s also reportedly suffered a right wrist injury." Using the word "In" would not make make sense since it lists a specific date. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 08:50, 2 December 2018 (UTC)

 Already done Technically was already done, as it was actually changed at 8:45, after the 8:39 request and before the 8:50 response.—Bagumba (talk) 10:04, 2 December 2018 (UTC)

I believe the article would be enriched by changing the first sentence under the High school career heading from "Fultz was born in Upper Marlboro, Maryland, the youngest of two children" to "Fultz was born in Upper Marlboro, Maryland, the younger of two children." I realise that modern usage might not require such a change, but standard usage does still distinguish between the Comparative "younger" and Superlative "youngest" when describing the relationship, respectively, between two versus among three or more substantive terms.

I thank you for your time and efforts. 89.12.233.41 (talk) 07:08, 18 December 2019 (UTC)

There is a grammatical mistake. In the description of his rookie season shooting percentage after his injury it is written "o ravaged his shooting that he shot only 33 perecent from the field". This should be changed to 33 percent from the field". It is a simple spelling mistake that needs to be corrected to enhance the readability of the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by HunterJ1929 (talk • contribs) 23:40, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
