Question from Jrckepler on Memphis Grizzlies (18:11, 25 May 2024)

Hi, I noticed this article states that the Milwaukee Bucks do not have a basketball in their logo. However, in the antlers there is an outline of a basketball. I am not sure if that counts as having one or not, so I don't want to edit unless it fits the exact defition. Thanks! --Jrckepler (talk) 18:11, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

@Jrckepler, only if you have a reference that states so. – robertsky (talk) 18:56, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

Grammar at RfA

Hi Robert, in your most recent question at RfA, #17, you wrote you realised that a recently closed RfC that introduced new guidelines to the article title in question. I think this sentence is missing something. Maybe "you realise that a recently closed RfC introduced new guidelines..." is better? Best, Toadspike [Talk] 15:56, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

You still have "that" twice in the sentence – it might be good to remove one. Toadspike [Talk] 15:59, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

@Toadspike, thanks for the catch! – robertsky (talk) 16:00, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

You're welcome, it looks good now! Toadspike [Talk] 16:01, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
