[edit] Recent additions

If the recent additions to this article sound like the season recap out of a book, they do. Each and every one of them (a few word-for-word) come from the 67 season recap from Trail Of The Stanley Cup, even down to the season-ending injury to Matt Ravlich, a journeyman defenseman who logged only 400 games over ten seasons and whose travails wouldn't normally be remotely notable. Certain events such as Bobby Orr's debut, Hull setting the goal record, Toronto's last Cup and Chicago's first first-place finish are worthy of inclusion if shorn of sportswriterese.

[edit] Edit War

Lookit, you're both in danger of a 3RR violation here, as well as this getting rather childish. RGTraynor, why not leave the information for a while and open discussion here regarding whether it's notable, let other editors offer their two cents and keep it or remove it per consensus? That's what Wikipedia's all about.

Now come on, stop flooding the RC feed =P --Moralis 21:04, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Note: if the information is kept, it's going to need to be edited for tone, and overspecific detail removed (here's looking at you, Rangers-Toronto paragraph). --Moralis 21:07, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
Which is exactly my point. The tireless Mr. Bryant started copying the incident list word-for-word from well-known published works, and while (after MUCH back and forth and the aforementioned open discussion) he's finally taken it out of copyvio, he's kept the article flooded with non-notable, trivial incidents presented in the same jocular, sportswriter recap tone as prevails in the works from which he takes the material. As it happens, this issue was opened up to comment from Wikiproject regulars two weeks ago, and none of us have any objection to milestones and significant events -- nor have, in fact, ripped up Mr. Bryant's numerous other edits to NHL season articles, but here he insists on including non-encyclopedic incidents and game summaries. Every editor who has yet commented has rejected Mr. Bryant's version; none have yet supported it. That is consensus. RGTraynor 21:44, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
Mr. Bryant's version contains far too much POV and improper tone. Flibirigit 22:45, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Apologies. I was not aware of the WikiProject discussion, only the lack of discussion here. If this persists I would advise placing vandalism warnings, and if necessary, reporting Mr. Bryant to WP:AIV. Alternatively consider placing the article on WP:RfP though if the problem is a single user, this seems unnecessary. --Moralis 22:48, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

I wouldn't think vandalism warnings to be appropriate; whatever my opinion of Mr. Bryant, there is no doubt but that he is contributing according to his lights. Inducing him to accept consensus and wrap his head around WP:OWN is as far as we'd prefer, I daresay. RGTraynor 15:09, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

And ... he's still not listening, and restored his edits. I've just filed an RfC on it. RGTraynor 20:35, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Corey Bryant's edits have blatant POV, and if he continues to be a hassle he should get blocked for a short period. Croat Canuck Go Leafs Go 00:59, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Why does User:Corey Bryant not participate in this discussion? It would nice if everyone was involed. Flibirigit 01:18, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
