I think this article could really be improved with adding some newspaper source material. It's not like The Idaho Statesman and The Plain Dealer are in Newspapers.com or anything... And given even a cursory look at these omitted sources, that's the primary task out of this review. It will bolster the article and round it out from being a little bit on the skeletal side with information on her career. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 21:49, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Did you know? If you fancy doing so, I always have plenty of GA nominees to review. Just look for the all-uppercase titles in the Television section. Reviews always appreciated.

Copy changes

  • I made a bunch of copy edits.
  • I find that the prose tends to be very numerical and stat-heavy in the playing career section. I wonder if newspaper sourcing would help add non-statistical content that would beef up the article.

Sourcing and spot checks

I'm very surprised to see no newspaper sources here. In fact, I was so surprised that I found someone had made about 30 clippings related to Bader. Take a look at the papers where she played.

Reviewed: 2, 6, 15, 16, 18.

  • The trading card source can be deleted with newspaper material from Cleveland available. It appears she was not traded but waived by Utah and claimed off waivers by a Cleveland team needing depth at point guard after an injury to Suzie McConnell-Serio.[1][2]
