Talk:Rules of basketball/to do

• someone with right perms plz fix typo in rule 13: "by continued" -> "be continued". The original historical document also has "be" there, btw.*
• Rewrite timeline as paragraphs (yay!)
• Summarise and categorise current rules
  • Check for amount of overlap with main article Basketball (There will inevitably be some overlap)
• Write procedure for rule changes(?)
• Uniforms and their standardisation (eg numbering must be 4-15 in some comps etc.)?
• Possibly will need to make decision as to whether to have a "US" page and an "International" page which will clarify the different rule sets?
• Need to check (& resolve) the overlap between the categories of: Basketball rules and Basketball terminology
• Information on the distance of the free-throw line from the center of the basket should be added in the section "Scoring and court markings". Or a link to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basketball_court should be added. This info is often searched for, e.g., when setting up a court for kids.
• Edit rules to assume that reader is a layperson that knows nothing of the rules.
• Re-order article to begin with contemporary rules and then give historical rules.
• Explain the minimum distance required for a 3 pt shot.
• Explain the difference in the basketball size for men and women
• Add explanation of closely guarded (5 second) count as well as old rule about 5 sec. and hash marks
• Include diagram of referee signals ?

Anything else, please add to the list.
