[edit] Stan Mikita

Mind giving a link to where on NHL.com Mikita's described as a Slovakian? I just went through the search function on the site and see nothing of the sort. Mikita was born in Slovakia, but emigrated to Canada when he was eight, is a Canadian citizen, and played internationally for Canada. He strikes me as Slovakian the same way that Ken Hodge and Steve Thomas were English players, Willi Plett Paraguayan and Rod Langway was Taiwanese. RGTraynor 21:04, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

Here's a better link: http://www.hhof.com/html/r&r-C.shtml
Hockey Hall of Fame has him as Slovakia's all-time leading scorer. (and Steve Thomas as Englands, Rod Langway as Taiwans). Yankees76 21:45, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
NHL.com link
www.nhl.com/scores/recaps/59_2_recap.html (bottom of page -::Jagr's goal was the 541st of his career, tying him for second place with Stan Mikita on the all-time list for goals scored in the NHL by a European. Jari Kurri is the leader with 601.
Lastly, Stan Mikita holds the state honour of White double-cross, second class in Slovakia and is a member of the Slovak Hall of Fame.

I'll leave the Canadian flag next to Mikita - as he did reach the 1000 point mark as a Canadian citizen - however it might be a good idea to create a policy regarding player nationality and how to determine it for future edits. Cheers! Yankees76 04:55, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

Just an FYI, I didn't change the flag back again as a sockpuppet - 87.197.122.147 is a Netherlands IP (just in case anyone thought I might be trying to sneak the change back in. I haven't reverted it yet (as you know my position on the subject). Cheers Yankees76 23:22, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Flags

I just removed the flags that Elrith had put in a few months ago for several reasons.

  1. There are arguments about player's nationalities, see above argument.
  2. They slowed down the speed in which the page loaded, because of all the images.
  3. They serve very little purpose in the context of the article, unlike the team logos which identify visually what team the player was with at the time, the nationality is irrelevant info involving this topic.

If you have any qualms with this, I'd like to hear them. Croat Canuck Go Leafs Go 03:04, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Qualms? I have qualms. If the content is verifiable it should be here. BoojiBoy 03:15, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
