Revision as of 05:37, 13 June 2023
This user believes too many Wikipedia editors are both wildly egotistical and frequent violators of WP:GF and WP:BITE, defaulting to snark, condescension, and a badly misplaced sense of intellectual superiority when faced with an erroneous edit or a new perspective or opinion different from their own. |

Disambiguation link notification for November 28
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of Arena Football League teams, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Albany Empire (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 10:36, 28 November 2019 (UTC)

Edits to NHL season
This was to streamline and simplify the rows for each city's restrictions. Often times the date that a state announces a change in restrictions do not align with when they actually take effect. We do not need to attribute the governors everywhere, plus the requirements for testing in NY contradict what is said in sources (it must be a PCR test within 72 hours of the event, and the WSJ article mentions that you may be required to take an antigen test too if the PCR test is more than 48 hours old) ViperSnake151 Talk 02:34, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
I’ll go back and streamline it more a little later, I certainly see what you mean by the spamming of governors in certain spots. Just concerned that a little too much was removed on the first go-around. The Kip (talk) 19:03, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
NHL stats
I thought that I'd let you know now that the stats on the 2020–21 NHL team articles are not meant to be updated every game. The reason we don't update after each game is because constant updates cause too many errors, which is what we want to prevent. One update per every 5 games is good enough. Yowashi (talk) 05:02, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
ITN recognition for Bob Plager
On 30 March 2021, In the news was updated with an item that involved the article Bob Plager, which you updated. If you know of another recently created or updated article suitable for inclusion in ITN, please suggest it on the candidates page. Stephen 04:16, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
NHL milestones
Please double-check the facts before adding, because this addition (already reverted) is factually incorrect as Bobrovsky played his 500th game on February 10, 2020, as the source says – Florida honored Bobrovsky for his 500th NHL game – played Feb. 10, 2020, in Philadelphia – in a pregame ceremony, and the Russian goalie improved to 5-1-1 against his former club.
– Sabbatino (talk)
Attribution of authorization for spectators on 2020-21 NHL season
The similar tables established on other articles (NFL, where I had first established this format, MLB, etc.) do not include such statements. In fact, I like the variation of the format that the MLB article has instituted, as it's cleaner and shows more of a timeline of increases. ViperSnake151 Talk 05:11, 19 May 2021 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Yosemiter. Your recent edit to the page Travis Green appears to have added premature information about a reported sports transaction, so it has been removed for now. The transaction is based on anonymous sources and/or awaiting an official announcement. If you believe the transaction has been completed, please cite a reliable source or discuss your change on the article's talk page. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Yosemiter (talk) 03:04, 6 December 2021 (UTC)

On 10 December 2021, In the news was updated with an item that involved the article Demaryius Thomas, which you nominated. If you know of another recently created or updated article suitable for inclusion in ITN, please suggest it on the candidates page. PFHLai (talk) 11:38, 10 December 2021 (UTC)
My apologies
I'm sorry about the mess on Urban Meyer's page. I know it's cleaned up now, but I felt I still owed at least a little communication regarding it. Ifigured it was easier to transfer back what I overwrote than have to go back and regrab every link I grabbed in updating the references.--CreecregofLife (talk) 07:36, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
Golden Knights
The next time you edit the VGK page, could you at least put in some time and effort and fill out the game log entirely instead of making partial updates as you did in this edit? I don't know if you're just trying to beat me to it and get the meat and potatoes finished or something, but just take the time to do it properly the first time around, because it looks like an eyesore when there are empty columns in the game log. Yowashi (talk) 03:40, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
- K. You've always been needlessly aggressive toward me and I don't quite get why. This is Wikipedia, not Encyclopedia Britannica; maybe tone it down a bit.The Kip (talk) 03:41, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
2021 All-pro team
It's original research because the AP source provided does not provide a team-by-team count. You cannot just count the amount yourself and add the table. That is the very definition of original research. From WP:OR "...any analysis or synthesis of published material that serves to reach or imply a conclusion not stated by the sources." So, leave it out of the article unless you can find a source that gives a team-by-team count.--Rockchalk717 17:58, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
- First off, it’s not reaching a conclusion considering it’s literally restating earlier information, but whatever. Just don’t blame me for clutter when there’s 32 individual sources on the page. The Kip (talk) 18:01, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
- It's exactly that. If the article "restated" it that's a different story. I don't care how many sources it takes to verify it and it is possible to add the number from each team without clutter. If I or someone else feels it's clutter, it can edited to keep the sources but make it less cluttered.--Rockchalk717 18:04, 15 January 2022 (UTC)

2022 Stanley Cup playoffs
I know that you mean well and that you're trying to help but you're starting to become a disruptive editor. Deadman137 (talk) 04:23, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
- I don't take too kindly to being told "you're not helping" when your own reversion and update left an entire goal off the board + wrong goalie totals. The page is open to the entire wiki to edit, not just you. Interpret that as you wish. The Kip (talk) 04:25, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
- Given how many errors you've made and caused tonight it would be best if you found something else to do. Deadman137 (talk) 04:26, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
- If this is in relation to the Leafs-Lightning page, NHL.com had the McDonagh and Matthews goals as SHG and PPG until the end of the game, respectively. I'll edit pages as I see fit, and again, I'm not the only one making errors here. The Kip (talk) 04:28, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
- It's in relation to pretty much most of your edits on this article. Deadman137 (talk) 04:31, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
- I was spot-on with the update to Carolina-Boston, as well as the several games that weren't updated several nights ago. I've also been accurate with the goalie chart and even bumped it up minutes-wise when nobody else did.
- If you want my "bona-fides," I helped and help maintain the season pages frequently (standings, stats, notable events, etc) and kept the VGK page's stats updated nearly game-by-game this year, as well as creating multiple articles for prospects called up to play.
- Please don't try to make me out to be some vandal when my lone mistake was believing an NHL.com editor's error. The Kip (talk) 04:36, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
- You are correct that you're no vandal, I never claimed that you were, my apologies if you felt that way. I could care less about your bona-fides. What I do care about is that you were nothing but hot mess all night long and you were creating unnecessary issues. You were not spot on with any game related edits tonight or the other night as everything you touched had problems or created problems, a well intentioned mess, is still a mess. I understand that it can be upsetting when you're doing your best to help and you find out that it's not good enough. There are certainly many things that you can help us with and we'd be more than happy to have you, but this area is not the best spot for your talents. I certainly don't want to have to start issuing you with formal warnings for your editing, but another night like this one and I would have no choice but to start doing that as you would be doing more harm than good to the article. Deadman137 (talk) 06:56, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
- Considering I went back and checked through every one of my edits to this page, and found the only significant post-edit changes to be on the Maple Leafs-Lightning game, I'd love to see exactly how "everything [I] touched had problems or created problems."
- Normally, if this were a complaint over one error I'd take it in stride, but what angers me overtly is the accusation of "everything" I've done being mistake-laden when that's simply untrue. The Kip (talk) 13:09, 11 May 2022 (UTC)

- As I said to you in my previous response, the issue is with the continual errors in the game summaries that you've worked on and yes those edits do contain many errors. I can understand that you're upset by this, but you have to understand that we're busy enough at this time of year and the last thing that we need to be doing is having to go around and have to fix all of your errors in addition to what we're normally working on.
- In all honesty it's perfectly fine to not be good at something on this site, the key is to avoid areas where you have a weakness and instead focus on your strengths. I took some time to review some of the work that you've done on BLP articles and you do have a knack for those articles and you can provide more value to the project by focusing in that area. At this point it would be in your best interest to drop this and move onto something more productive. Deadman137 (talk) 00:07, 12 May 2022 (UTC)

NHL Coaching Changes
Be prepared. I will be making this something consistent for previous seasons, but only for interim coaches who did not become the permanent head coach. Especially as it is something that was done in the past (2015–16, 2016–17, 2017–18 NHL season). Only since 2018–19 onwards has it not been done, but that will be changed. By removing this content, it will become inconsistent and I will consider your actions to be bordering an edit war. Thank you. Conyo14 (talk) 22:03, 26 June 2022 (UTC)
Klingberg source
Why did you revert my edit on the 2022-23 NHL transaction page for John Klingberg's source? I matched it to the formatting of almost every other free agent signing in the article. Making this message to avoid an edit war. Hotpotato1234567890 (talk) 03:33, 31 July 2022 (UTC)

The article Matt Murray (ice hockey, born 1998) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Meets neither WP:GNG or WP:NHOCKEY.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Onel5969 TT me 12:53, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
22-23 VGK transactions
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Stop editing the template. I am the consensus, it follows every other team that I've set it for. Fleming is an acquisition, not a signing. Stop changing it. End of discussion. Nanerz (talk) 23:46, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
- "I am the consensus" is an inherently contradictory sentence, as well as an incorrect one.
- By my count, combining edits that occurred a few minutes apart as one each, you've made exactly four edits to this page this season. You made a grand total of 17 to last year's with the vast majority coming before the season. This is not "your page," you have not set it this year; in fact, I've actually done the majority of the legwork this year, adding nearly every section, but even then I don't claim it as my rule goes if an edit seems logical. On top of all of that, nobody else that's edited the page this or last year has had any issue with the format; this has wholly been your effort to change in line with how you solely see fit.
- In short, to quote someone, stop changing it, end of discussion. The Kip (talk) 00:45, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
- I never said this is my page, but from what I'm reading you seem to think it is yours. Stop changing the template that is consistent across 90% of the team pages. I am not setting it for the reason of putting my foot down. The template was created to maintain consistency across the team pages. I have been updating the transactions sections of these pages after taking a break for a couple years. This may be why my edits are few in far between as I can only do them as I have the time and nobody else seems to be bothering with them (apart from a few other teams). You may go look for yourself and notice that without my work this task was abandoned. Please, stop changing the template for no reason, that is all I ask. Now on the Fleming point, Fleming was not drafted. He was not apart of the Vegas organization before he signed. The signings subsection is for players within the organization. The acquisitions subsection is for all free agents, which Fleming was. I hope that clears it up for you. Nanerz (talk) 21:52, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
- WP:NOTGETTINGIT. Just because a template is consistent acrosss "90% of team pages" does not mean it's a mandate, and for the umpteenth time, nobody has had a problem with it besides you; not to mention, team pages are somewhat inconsistent to begin with, as Winnipeg didn't even have their schedule until about two weeks ago and the last several years of Vegas pages have alternatively added or dropped sections. Also, if you'd paid any remote attention to the page besides your edit-warring, you'd see I actually agreed with your point on Fleming and left him in the free agent section, but clearly you have not. Please stop with your "consensus" and just let myself and Yowashi maintain the page as we continuously and successfully did so and have done so. The Kip (talk) 02:56, 5 November 2022 (UTC)

Condition on Jeannot trade
Have you been able to find confirmation on the conditional first in the trade becoming 2026? Tampa already has 2026 conditionally tied up in last year's Hagel deal. So if the 2026 1st is in play, there would actually need be a second condition along the lines of: if 2025 is top 10 AND 2024 is top 10 (such that CHI gets 2026 instead), then NSH gets 2027, or something. I'm gonna wait to see how it all shakes out..! Wild day, eh!? Love it –uncleben85 (talk) 03:51, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
- It's been absolute insanity indeed, the Meier trade's conditional picks almost broke my brain.
- As for the 2026 pick, I assumed it would shift due to the 2025 pick being top-10 protected per the NHL.com article; I was unaware that's already tied up in the Hagel trade, so I may have jumped the gun on that. Feel free to edit however necessary and thanks for your hard work! The Kip (talk) 03:53, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
- I feel like a 2027 1st might need to be included either way, so may switch it to that, but I'm sure if none of the teams will say it outright (the Preds and the NHL releases didn't say either), CapFriendly will get us straightened out soon enough anyway –uncleben85 (talk) 04:02, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
T-Ban from ITN question
Hi there. To answer your question that you posited in WT:ITN, none of the incidents up to this point have risen to the level where a T-ban would be appropriate, because they aren't inherently uncivil or tendentious in nature. There has to be a central "straw that breaks the camel's back" incident, which would then be used as the focal point for any ANI request to highlight an urgent incident and chronic, intractable behavioral problem
. At that point, all of the previous "semi-disruptive" edits could then be used as supporting evidence to then call for a block or T-ban. Good example of that here. ⛵ WaltClipper -(talk) 16:27, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
- Actually, you had participated in that discussion, so you knew firsthand what it was that sparked the eventual CBAN.--⛵ WaltClipper -(talk) 16:30, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
Transaction references
Hey, first and foremost, thank you for your help on the page! Clubs are NOT waiting this year!! But also, just a heads up, don't want you to feel like I'm going in and changing all your edits everytime, so thought I would explain. Feel free to keep adding refs whenever you make an edit - it's not a bad idea to have a source immediately, you just might find its not always there or you're doing double work, so it's not worth it - but ultimately we try to keep two things in mind: 1) A neutral source; if two or more teams are directly involved (read: TRADES), try to get a source NOT from one of the teams. An official NHL release or a secondary news outlet, the more reliable the better like SN or TSN and then 2) Primary resource if possible; so again, NHL over an outlet if a neutral reference is needed BUT a team reference if they are the only party directly involved in the transaction (SIGNINGS, TERMINATIONS, WAIVER CLAIMS) would be a preferable primary source over the NHL version, if available.
I hope that makes sense.... hahaha –uncleben85 (talk) 22:36, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
- Heard and understood! As for team sources, I'm moreso using them as placeholders unless they're the extremely minor trades that won't receive much coverage otherwise (ex. the just-now Predators-Rangers trade for an AHLer); I figure it's better to have at least something there until a neutral source is available, as opposed to a blank box. I'll keep the above in mind, though.
- And likewise, thank you for your hard work as well! The stove's been white-hot these past three days, haha. The Kip (talk) 22:39, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
- Yeah, that makes sense for that Predators-Rangers trade. Sportsnet can be hit and miss for those really minor trades (better than TSN though), but if not something might pop up in the next couple of days with a smaller, more local outlet, but the team ref is definitely fine for now
- Just waiting for those Kane and Ekholm trades to be made official. Oof! But hey, Friday will be a breeze at this rate!–uncleben85 (talk) 23:22, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
- Yeah, we're on track to have virtually nothing at the actual deadline at this point, lol
- Also, a side note - seriously, thank you for being patient/diplomatic w/ any mistakes I've made; I've come across way too many editors (including myself sometimes, unfortunately) that default to snark/rudeness in the same scenario. I'll try my best to keep ironing them out and I'm happy to keep working on this w/ you! The Kip (talk) 00:55, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
- Haha, yeah, some people can certainly be stubborn in their ways here, lol! So, was trying to give you a little bit of the rundown without trying to come across rude. And reality is, not like there's any mistake or edit made that can't be fixed, on here! –uncleben85 (talk) 01:23, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
Thanks for the chuckle
I just stumbled across the ship of theseus reference you added to the Quiet Riot page back in 2021 and I laughed for a solid few minutes. I had to dig out the original edit from WikiBlame just so I could come say thanks. Have a great day! Gsuberland (talk) 14:02, 15 March 2023 (UTC)

Sutter's coaching record
Regarding this edit – I was also confused, but after doing some research I came across game recaps (March 6, 2021 and March 7, 2021), which said that assistant coach Ryan Huska was the head coach for those games due to Sutter being on COVID-19 protocol. – sbaio 10:52, 7 May 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks for the update. It was certainly quite bizarre; no two sources, even reputable ones, seemed to agree on what his actual record was, so I just went with what the NHL said for the time being. Happy you were able to clarify, though. The Kip (talk) 15:57, 7 May 2023 (UTC)

Lata Mangeshkar's notability
Hello, Lata Mangeshkar had a national state funeral in India, was mentioned by the Pakistani and Bangladeshi governments, led to official mourning on state television and radio in Nepal, Sri Lanka, Mauritius, Trinidad and Tobago, Suriname, Guyana and Fiji, led to multiple articles by the BBC and even french, german, malaysian, indonesian, moroccan and brazilian media spoke of her death. I still don't know who that guy is. Regards Varoon2542 (talk) 02:39, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
NHL Hiring Week
Much like yesterday with Andrew Brunette and the Nashville Predators, a lot of teams are likely to hire to fill their vacant positions this week. Unfortunately, several unconfirmed users and IPs are jumping the gun on the respective teams. The Rangers, Penguins, Flames, and Maple Leafs have several reports, but nothing officially confirmed. I will check in on NHL.com to grab a confirmed source when it's ready (or you will), but it could get hectic this week. Conyo14 (talk) 17:02, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
- Loud and clear. From rumors I've read, stay especially vigilant on Mike Babcock (CBJ), Peter Laviolette/John Hynes (NYR), and Gerard Gallant (CGY). Haven't heard any names rumored for ANA yet, or for PIT's permanent GM now that Dubas has been formally hired. The Kip (talk) 22:03, 1 June 2023 (UTC)
