[edit] Welcome to the Wikipedia!

Hello, and Welcome to the Wikipedia, GM11! Hope you enjoy editing here and becoming a Wikipedian! Here are a few perfunctory tips to hasten your acculturation into the Wikipedia experience:

• Take a look at the Wikipedia Tutorial and Manual of Style.
• When you have time, you can peruse The five pillars of Wikipedia, and assume good faith, but keep in mind the unique style you brought to the Wiki!
• Always be mindful of striving for NPOV, be respectful of others' POV, and remember your perspective on the meaning of neutrality is invaluable!
• If you need any help, post your question at the Help Desk.
• Explore, be bold in editing, and, above all else, have fun!

I had to revert your edits to the New Jersey Devils page. If you read up on the help pages above, it should help you provide good edits in the future that will not be reverted. If you would like more information on why I reverted your edits, you can contact me on my talk page.

Best of luck, GM11, and most importantly, have fun! --Muéro 04:34, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your edits to Atlanta Thrashers

You are strongly encouraged to consider following the Wikipedia Manual of Style, since many of your edits are departing from the customary guidelines in ways that other editors report as being very disagreeable. Wikipedia does not require writers to follow all or any of these rules, but their efforts will be more appreciated when they do so. -Muéro 01:55, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your edits to Florida Panthers

Your recent contribution(s) to Wikipedia did not provide specific references or sources. Keeping Wikipedia accurate and verifiable is very important, and as you might be aware there is currently a drive to improve the quality of Wikipedia by encouraging editors to cite the sources they used when adding content. Editors may choose to remove material you have contributed if it is not verifiable. Please provide specific references in your contributions to any books, articles, websites or other reliable sources that will allow people to verify the content. You can use a citation method listed at inline citations that best suits each article. Thanks! --Muéro 19:25, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your edits to Montreal Canadiens

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. As a member of the Wikipedia community, I would like to remind you of Wikipedia's neutral-point-of-view policy for editors, which you appear to have violated at Montreal Canadiens. In the meantime, please be bold and continue contributing to Wikipedia. Thank you! --Muéro^(talk/c) 23:44, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Editing concerns

I've perused your edits to various hockey-related articles, and I'm concerned that they frequently introduce non-neutral material, rarely cite sources, and often have an unencylopedic tone. Wikipedia should read like an encyclopedia, not like a local sports report. I have three specific concerns with your recent edits to New York Islanders:

First, many of your changes to the writing are difficult to read or even ungrammatical. You added this passage to a sentence: " although Resch was expended during the season — Smith's strong play despite only once finishing a season with lower goals against average than Resch did such."

Second, your edits sometimes fail to follow the Manual of Style and conventions, such as your changing the accepted "Stanley Cup champion" to "Stanley Cup Champion" and the accepted "first round series" to "first-round series".

Third, you changed the article to say that the number of points that Bryan Trottier scored in his rookie season was 98, not 95, as the citation says. Introducing incorrect information compromises Wikipedia, and you did not provide another citation or submit the question to review by other editors on the article's Talk page.

Consequently, I have some concerns that you are engaging in vandalism. Please take what I'm saying into account before you edit articles. Croctotheface 03:12, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your edits to New York Islanders

You may not have been aware of it, but Wikipedia has its own style guide described in the Wikipedia:Manual of Style. Please try to follow its advice. Edits that do not follow these guidelines may be changed to match what the WP:MOS recommends. Wikipedia does not require writers to follow all or any of these rules, but their efforts will be more appreciated when they do so. Croctotheface 14:42, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your edits to New Jersey Devils

This is an encyclopedia, and the language used should reflect that. While phrases like "stylistic ex-Boston Bruins bench boss Don Cherry" may seem more colorful and are acceptable in sports journalism, here they are considered point-of-view statements. Read WP:NPOV for more info.

You should only make links that are relevant to the context. For example, you shouldn't link to Montreal the city when it is used as shorthand to refer to the hockey team. Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (links), also avoid overlinking and repeatedly linking to the same article.

En dashes are accepted as parenthetical dashes, and the style used in the article should be retained. See WP:DASH.

[edit] Edits to Mike Milbury

Yet again, your edits are not encyclopedic. It would be to everyone's benefit for you to read up on WP:NPOV and WP:MoS, which would greatly improve your edits to Wikipedia and save other editors the need to go in and clean them up after you. Croctotheface 21:59, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your edits to Phoenix Coyotes

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. NeoChaosX (he shoots, he scores!) 20:30, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

• Please stop. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy by adding commentary and your personal analysis into articles, as you did to 1959-60 NHL season, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. NeoChaosX (he shoots, he scores!) 02:55, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

  This is your last warning.

[edit] Dan Blackburn & Mike Keenan

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Dan Blackburn. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. --JForget 22:24, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Recent Hockey related article edits

I see on your talk page that you have been asked many times to change your editing style to be more encyclopedic. Please heed this advice, much of the stuff you have added in the last few days is irrelevant. Thanks. Dbrodbeck (talk) 20:11, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to use disruptive or hard to read formatting, as you did in Duck, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Pekinduck (talk) 19:22, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
