While dead, Johnson and his family have a reasonable expectation that information supplied to his bio be properly sourced and citeable. Poorly sourced information, rumors etc. cannot be used in this or any other bio. Ronbo76 15:25, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
"A weight issue may have been a contributing factor to Johnson's early death" Without an official statement (or even official speculation) from the coroner or Johnson's personal physican, I don't think the above statement should be in the article -- it's just speculation. Readers know there is some correlation between obesity and premature death. Mentioning it here as speculation is disrespetful. 65.24.249.74 19:54, 25 February 2007 (UTC) STOP SPREADING LIES ABOUT MY FATHER I am the son of Dennis Johnson. My friends have told me about this lie on Wikipedia. The authorities did not get it right about my father's case. It is one thing to keep this up, but this is completely not acceptable after his death. Please keep it off. Please leave this information alone. No need for this. He was a beloved person and his weight gain was nobodys business. If it needed to come out, smoking was more of a health issue with Dennis than anything else. If you want to do something in his honor, put out your cigarettes and never pick them up again!—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 75.63.113.38 ( talk • contribs).
An anonymous IP has editted out the section about Johnson's arrest. In its most recent version, it was cited appropriately. Recommend it be re-instated. Ronbo76 13:14, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
Please un-protect this image. Please see [1] for Jimbo's statement on the outcome (to summarize): The image with watermark shall be deleted. I am proposing that this image be unprotected (on commons), reverted to the unwatermarked version. If Cavic reverts it to the watermarked version, or states otherwise that he wants it deleted, then it should be immediately deleted. In addition, the caption removed completely from the article page. If Cavic restores the caption in any capacity or states otherwise, the image shall immediately be deleted. -- MECU≈ talk 00:23, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
Hi there, I just boldly rewrote DJ's article, and it is now a good article candidate. Feel free to feedback and improve! — Onomatopoeia 19:47, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
Right here we go, please note, this is my first ever GA review if I have made a big massive mistake, please don't bother shouting, because I simply will not do any more GA reviews.
and
There's one or two other issues:
{{persondata|PLEASE SEE [[WP:PDATA]]!}}
along with the required parameters to the article - see
Wikipedia:Persondata for more information.
I'm putting this article on hold. When you have made the necessary adjustments, contact me on my talkpage. Thanks!

The internet inline citations used in this article are improperly formatted. Internet citations require at the very least information on the title, publisher and last access date of any webpages used. If the source is a news article then the date of publication and the author are also important. This information is useful because it allows a reader to a) rapidly identify a source's origin b) ascertain the reliability of that source and c) find other copies of the source should the website that hosts it become unavaliable for any reason. It may also in some circumstances aid in determining the existance or status of potential copyright infringments. Finally, it looks much tidier, making the article appear more professional. There are various ways in which this information can be represented in the citation, listed at length at Wikipedia:Citing sources. The simplest way of doing this is in the following format:
<ref>{{cite web|(insert URL)|title=|publisher=|work=|date=|author=|accessdate=}}</ref>
As an example:
which looks like:
If any information is unknown then simply omit it, but title, publisher and last access dates are always required. If you have any further questions please contact me and as mentioned above, more information on this issue can be found at Wikipedia:Citing sources.

Wilkens perceived him as MERELY a liability? He called him a 'cancer'. I was never as surprised and as upset at the Sonics coach when I first read that in the Seattle Times all those years ago. I didn't find that article, but I did find this:
