This award is given in recognition to Conyo14 for conducting 306 article reviews in 2024. Thank you so much for all your excellent work. Keep it up!Hey man im josh (talk)18:16, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I'm going to go ahead and nominate the History article for DYK - I'll list you as a co-nom, and feel free to add any altblurbs. Given the article's scope, there's certainly no shortage!TheKip(contribs)18:56, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I've undone a lot of edits to NHL season pages, by IPs 162.197.249.249 & 184.55.60.49. They've also made changes to several other ice hockey pages, in the last two or so months. I don't know if they're making positive changes or not.GoodDay (talk)21:11, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
DYK for History of the National Hockey League (2017–present)
If you could find a way to squeeze it down to a paragraph that could make it suitable. If it's too much work just keep things as they are and we can just add the broadcasters to the Finals article as we currently do.Deadman137 (talk)03:42, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
After having two games end at the same time I'd rather do the six elimination games in one day again, at least those were spread out.Deadman137 (talk)05:33, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Well don't look at tonight's schedule then. Thankfully it's only the first round where the risk for that is highest. Though it's rare where you get an overtime game taking place at the same time as two teams decide to hang their goalies out to dry.Deadman137 (talk)23:54, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I added the missing citations for you for the two series that ended tonight, so I made up for my screw up last night, (sadly I didn't remember that the Carolina series ended yesterday).Deadman137 (talk)03:08, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Apparently Rantanen became the first player to record a third period playoff hat trick in league history, likely game seven specific. I'll skim the league article when it comes out. It's rare enough to consider for the lead.Deadman137 (talk)02:58, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
AP has him as the second player to record four points in the third period of a game seven. Still looking for the hat trick one.Deadman137 (talk)03:17, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I'm waiting for the articles to start coming out though that was the latest tying goal in a seventh game. The previous latest tying goal off the top of my head was Matt Cooke in 2004 Calgary/Vancouver series, I'm waiting for confirmation.Deadman137 (talk)03:21, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
There actually was a small spacing error on the Carolina/Washington citation from last night and I already fixed it. Now I don't know why we've had two editors have been trying to change the dating format of the citation when all they needed to do was add one space.Deadman137 (talk)21:27, 16 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Here's some weird trivia from tonight, Brad Marchand became the first player to defeat the same team five times in a seventh game. Yes I'm looking for citations.Deadman137 (talk)02:50, 19 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I don't disagree, it's probably better suited for the individual player's article. The only other thing that we could add is Edmonton is the first Canadian team to make it to the conference final in consecutive seasons since the Toronto Maple Leafs in 1994. I'm sitting on that one because I know if we put it in the lead or series section we'll keep seeing every time it happens and I kind of don't want that to happen because we have enough Canadian team trivia in the article.
Honestly the only possible Canadian team trivia that would be reasonable to add at this point would be if Edmonton gets back to Finals again (first for any Canadian team in consecutive seasons since the late 80s Oilers) and if they win the Cup. Other than those two things happening there's no reason to add more.Deadman137 (talk)03:18, 21 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
If it were the third consecutive conference finals for a Canadian team, I'd be fine with it, but two consecutive? Nah, not good enough. Technically Ottawa in 2003 and Calgary in 2004 got you beat with the statement. For the same team? Too trivial. If they make the Cup Final? Again, 2004, 2006, and 2007 had Canadian teams. For the same team making it to the Final, it just feels too trivial. It's better for the Finals article anyways.Conyo14 (talk)20:06, 21 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Three seems reasonable to me. Technically the last time any Canadian team made it to two consecutive conference finals was the 2006 Oilers and 2007 Senators, it could also be moot soon too. We could wind up with the southern most Finals series if we get Dallas and Florida which would be third sun belt series this decade and (as you know well) the sixth consecutive with a team from Florida.
@Deadman137: Perhaps I should be lucky the first game of the Finals is the day after I return from my long vacation. It would be if not for the fact that Wednesdays are busy nights for me, typically. However, mobile edits, if you couldn't tell from my editing, have been a struggle to say the very least. Also, should the distance trivia be mentioned again? Probably not right?
Oh trust me, there have been nights where I've been editing from a few different places. On one occasion I was editing in the middle of a field while holding an umbrella in a rain storm, so I get it. I don't think we need the distance trivia as the first occurrence covered it enough detail.
We may want to consider mentioning that Draisaitl became the fifth player to score three overtime goals in one playoff year. If he gets a fourth overtime winner this year we have to mention it because that would set a new record. The four other players to get three in one year are Mel Hill (1939), Maurice Richard (1951), Corey Perry (2017) and Matthew Tkachuk (2023).Deadman137 (talk)04:42, 5 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The middle of a raining field is pretty wild. I think during the middle of my anniversary dinner with my significant other might take the cake for me.
Draisaitl now has the single year playoff record with four overtime goals. First player since John LeClair in 1993 to score two overtime winners in the Finals.Deadman137 (talk)03:52, 13 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
At this point I'm running out of superlatives for you. This two-headed monster keeps on rolling and I wouldn't want to try and tackle this yearly behemoth solo. I'm hoping to not disappear for months on end like the last two years, but you never know what life brings. I'll be around tomorrow to help if we get the usual ITN crush.Deadman137 (talk)05:28, 18 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Deadman137 Believe me, if it were solo, a lot of game tables would have inconsistencies. The random IPs and unconfirmed editors assisted somewhat at the start. That being said, IRL comes first. This year was actually the most difficult, and that includes the 2020 playoffs, since I had a lot of life events happen in the playoffs, including being out of country. However, I am glad you return. If you're around for the draft, enjoy that.Conyo14 (talk)05:50, 18 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, I'm sure that you'd get the game tables done some time in the offseason of insert random year here. Sorry to hear about some of those events, hopefully all will be well soon.
That's one thing that I am grateful for, any family stuff that comes up is local and if I do have to leave the country for work I'm logging in here to find the channel to watch games on. 2020 was a beast like no other, four months of prep time, all the crap that surrounded the event and 130 games in the same amount of time as a normal year. I'm glad in hindsight to have been apart of that, but I hope something like that doesn't happen again. Plus a year later in 2021 I had that lovely Rupertslander section of the talk page on the playoff template dedicated to me (not sad to see that get deleted or that user be blocked).
I'm always around for the draft, night one isn't too bad. Day two is pretty much like having series ending overtime game every two to five minutes for about four hours.Deadman137 (talk)06:51, 18 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Reversion of hyphen on "2025 Stanley Cup playoffs" article
Hi Conyo14. At 10:39 on April 20, I usedAutoWikiBroswer to check the "2025 Stanley Cup playoffs" article. It suggested some formatting changes and also suggested adding a hyphen for "second-round games" in the sentece: "First and second-round games are split between ESPN-produced telecasts (either on ESPN, ABC, or ESPN2) and TNT Sports-produced telecasts (either on TNT or TBS, with selected simulcasts on TruTV). Each U.S. team's regional broadcaster will also televise local coverage of first-round games, except for any games on ABC." I then examined the proposed changes and then made the edit.[6] At 15:51, you then reverted my edit with the edit summary noting "not a typo".[7] In this case "second-round" acts as a compound adjective modifying the noun "games." When two or more words come before a noun and together describe it, they are generally hyphenated to show that they function as a single descriptive unit. If anything, the "first" in the sentence appears it might qualify for asuspended hyphen perMOS:SUSPENDED. Can you explain why you reverted the edit? Thanks!Wikipedialuva (talk)02:05, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
This article right here. The consensus on Kotaku is that articles from 2023 to now are generally not reliable, but that this is not a firm line and that articles should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.Mk8mlyb (talk)02:45, 28 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Holy cow, did you watch the playoffs? The Panthers just scored two goals with under 4 minutes left to win! I thought they were dead!Mk8mlyb (talk)01:45, 29 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
What's biased about saying "the Panthers scored two goals in 11 seconds with four minutes left to take the lead"? I've seen other Stanley Cup playoffs articles say similar things. The way I see it, saying that is more informative and stands out than saying a player scored a goal and an assist.Mk8mlyb (talk)03:19, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
By all means, add it in. Just know that there is no "crucial" information. This is Wikipedia, not a news source.Conyo14 (talk)03:40, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Understood. For the record, I realize I need to understand policy better before choosing what to edit. I just like to put some energy and life into the articles.Mk8mlyb (talk)04:22, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I understand that. I've been doing this consistently for nine years and believe me when I say I wish they had more life, but maintainingWP:NPOV is important when writing content. Fortunately, the flare can be seen in the Finals articles.Conyo14 (talk)04:54, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I have taken a look at the2021-22 Florida Panthers page, and I think there needs to be a paragraph or statement about how the team had one of the greatest offenses in league history. Where would be a good place to put it and how would we state that?Mk8mlyb (talk)01:51, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I wouldn't say it's one of the greatest offenses in league history, but the best since the Penguins 1995–96 season.Conyo14 (talk)04:30, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I have a question. On the42 article, it states Leo Durocher was suspended after he was caught having an affair. Is this accurate to real life, or is it just something the movie made up?Mk8mlyb (talk)04:24, 8 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Sources state the evidence all but confirms Durocher had an affair and it was an open secret and that it impacted his relationships in the MLB, but there's no proof he was suspended over it, instead being suspended for gambling issues.Mk8mlyb (talk)22:59, 8 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I saw your comment on the discussion section at my RFA, and just wanted to say thank you very much for your kind words. Fingers crossed I'll get some answers next week!Patient Zerotalk00:25, 10 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Patient Zero Here's hoping! I'll restore my comment (or maybe it'll automatically be restored) once the discussion period starts once more. Good luck with your candidacy.Conyo14 (talk)05:07, 10 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Mk8mlyb: The NHL corroborates this too, but here is the source[9]. Basically, theIce Follies were performing at the North Stars arena and instead of delaying the series, they moved game one to be in St. Louis.Conyo14 (talk)07:04, 16 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I can't access the source, as it requires me to login, but I'll take your word. Does this mean that the North Stars were intended to have home-ice advantage in the series? It would seem to be the logical result of what you said.Mk8mlyb (talk)07:24, 16 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
What should we do about the other playoff series that have weird home-ice setups? Is there a page that says when the current 2-2-1-1-1 setup was established?Mk8mlyb (talk)04:49, 17 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see anything there that says when the 2-2-1-1-1 format was established. It just says that the playoffs became best-of-seven in the 1930s between first place and second place and that the Stanley Cup Final was made a best-of-seven in 1939.Mk8mlyb (talk)18:00, 17 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
OK, then. Should we post explanations for all series in which teams had to give up the arena? I think most Stanley Cup Final pages featuring the New York Rangers have such explanations.Mk8mlyb (talk)18:26, 17 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
On another note, how long did Marty Turco shut out the Canucks in the 2007 Stars-Canucks first round series? I remember it was mentioned somewhere but I forgot what the number was.Mk8mlyb (talk)03:59, 18 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
OK, I thought so. Thank you. I was asking because I was doing a presentation on hockey to a class, but I went to sleep when you replied, so I couldn't see your answer. But thanks anyway.Mk8mlyb (talk)18:30, 18 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I noticed that you removed information from the article2025 Stanley Cup Final, believing that it was trivial. However, this is important because it was historic. TheToronto Maple Leafs were eliminated by the eventualStanley Cup champions for the first time since 2000, when theNew Jersey Devils did that. The 2025Florida Panthers ended up becoming the team to snap the Leafs' historic 23-season streak without losing a playoff series to the eventual champions. This information was obtained through NHL history and Wikipedia articles of previous seasons. Please tell me why you removed this information. Thank you.2001:56B:3FED:E39E:845E:47DC:FFF9:8E9E (talk)23:40, 25 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Cool, but we can't base sourcing of Reddit nor any AI. It is simply a miscellaneous fact that cannot be placed onto I would say any Wiki article. It would be the same as saying, Edmonton, who has eliminated Los Angeles four consecutive times has lost to the eventual Stanley Cup winner four consecutive times.Conyo14 (talk)18:20, 28 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
