[edit] On the proposed merge
There's much more useful information here than in the NHL article, and the NHL article is poorly written. Merge that into this, maybe. But dont keep too much of the other one. --CastAStone|(talk) 21:00, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Copyright
The main article appears to be identical with www.barrystickets.com/hockey-tickets/index.php, but I don't know which came first. Woden325 18:39, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
- The Wikipedia article did. According to the Wayback Machine, www.barrystickets.com was created on March 13, 2005, and large sections of that text appeared on edits in the original NHL article before March 5, 2005. That site's cherrypicking without attribution. RGTraynor 05:43, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] London Lions
I just did a bit of digging, and I can not find a refrence that the London Lions were actually affiliated with the NHL, but just one NHL team owner, Bruce Norris. So, I am removing the paragraph saying they were affiliated with the NHL. -- JamesTeterenko 03:04, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
- Since my edit has been reverted, I have noted that a citation is needed. -- JamesTeterenko 00:52, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
- I've reverted the edit to re-insert the statement. I found what is likely the same page you did, [1], which argues that the NHL itself never proposed such an expansion plan, simply one owner. Given that the paragraph in question is factually inaccurate, it does not belong in this article unless the IP who inserted it can verify it using primary sources. Resolute 05:40, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
- I thought that smelled kind of funny, which is why I never added London to the list of defunct NHL teams in the {{NHL}} template. Doogie2K (talk) 17:08, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
- Okay thanks. I have also removed this information from List of defunct NHL teams and London Lions. -- JamesTeterenko 17:15, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
