2014–15 Los Angeles Lakers season:

Hey I added information but you deleted because you said it was a "horrendous edit" but all my information was correct. Was it pretty, no. But thats why I wanted help organizing it. I was wondering why you just deleted it. :(. I spent a lot of time on it. Lakersfan06 (talk) 01:18, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Lakersfan06: You should use WP:SANDBOX before making huge edits. What you added was horrendous and it was not worth my or other editor's time in trying to fix it. I see you are new here so please first experiment and get familiar with how editing works here before continuing. In addition, you based your edit mostly on RealGM, which is not a reliable source. You should search for news articles from team or reliable new websites (ESPN, Los Angeles Times, The New York Times and others). – sbaio 10:56, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Mike Richards article

The 2014 Stanley Cup playoffs article makes it quite clear that Richards and Carter are the first two players to be on two teams that came back from a 3–0 deficit. Why did you revert that? Mk8mlyb (talk) 04:56, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Mk8mlyb: Your edit was reverted (same was done by another editor at Mike Bossy), because it was unsourced. It is your duty to provide sources when adding content. In addition, please read WP:DATERANGE before continuing to add stints to players' pages. You must use WP:ENDASH when listing date ranges and not hyphens. – sbaio 10:48, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I re-added the sentence with a source, and it was still reverted. Why is that? Also, I will try to add date-ranges in accordance with policy. Mk8mlyb (talk) 01:46, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

On second look, the edit was not reverted. I should have checked first. Nonetheless, my second point still applies. Mk8mlyb (talk) 01:48, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Montreal Canadiens

Both the NHL and the Canadiens themselves often use "Montréal", in their English name. I don't get why we don't acknowledge that... –uncleben85 (talk) 13:56, 18 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Uncleben85: At the beginning of the Canadiens' lead sentence there is a note that quite clearly says Even in English, the French spelling Canadiens is always used instead of Canadians. The French spelling of Montréal is also sometimes used in English-speaking media. So we actually do acknowledge it. In addition, the "Montréal" spelling is only used in about 0.1% in anything posted by NHL (for example, teams page and standings) and Canadiens (some press releases), while "Montreal" is used 99.9% of the time (either by official or other media outlets). – sbaio 14:28, 18 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, reading that back, I hope that didn't sound too confrontational. Thanks for the explanation. Honestly, the note didn't even register with me.--–uncleben85 (talk) 18:19, 19 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Uncleben85: It did not. I was surprised by your edit and thought that you probably did not see the note. Oh well, everyone makes mistakes. – sbaio 19:09, 19 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Anaheim Ducks article

When you reverted my edit on the Anaheim Ducks article, you stated that one source was not good enough to prove a rivalry. Well, I have found another source that states my case. Is that good enough? Mk8mlyb (talk) 06:42, 19 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Mk8mlyb: You should really start a discussion at WT:NHL and ask there, because there are editors who have access to specific websites that could show more sources. Google searches are often very limited when it comes to rivalries. – sbaio 14:05, 19 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
