[edit] Samuel Pahlsson

This page should be moved, to have an English title. See Naming conventions. GoodDay 23:07, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

I believe almost all articles about ice hockey players from Europe use the correct title, with characters not found in the English language. I've seen a lot of discussions about using non-English characters in articles but I haven't found any consensus on that issue. --claes 14:24, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
The inconsistancies of the NHL Euro bio article titles, should be solved. Jaromir Jagr (for example) uses the English form. GoodDay 18:14, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pronunciation

If Pahl-suhn is not correct, than try to correct that phonetic one rather than waiting until an IPA. We should be able to have a phonetic in the meantime. Would it be Pahl-sohn? Alaney2k (talk) 05:01, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

No, not close to either one. Best way I can describe it is Poolson, the oo should be pronounced exactly like they are in Moore. But I would like to settle this IPA-issue once and for all, so we can add IPA to all pages that need it. If we can just figure out how Å, Ä, and Ö is written in IPA we're good to go. --Krm500 (talk) 05:13, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
Well, good luck. I would suggest putting in Pool-sohn then. There are guides to phonetics too. However, when I hear his name on the radio or tv, it is pahl-sohn. Has Sammy accepted that pronunciation, I wonder? Alaney2k (talk)
This is discussed on the IPA page. See Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_(pronunciation)#Foreign_names We should probably put in two pronunciations per that page. Alaney2k (talk) 15:21, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] NHL wrongisms

So it seems the NHL has two things wrong, his pronunciation and his birthplace. These errors should be noted in some way on the page. Otherwise, errant eds (like me sometimes :-)) will keep changing it, at the least. Alaney2k (talk) 15:04, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

I think if we put two pronunciations in, we don't need a note on that. But we should have a note on the birthplace issue. Why did you take it out? Alaney2k (talk) 15:35, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

I just don't see the point of noting that someone is wrong. This is an encyclopedia where you will go to find correct information. --Krm500 (talk) 16:15, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

(That's probably not a NPOV.) Then put a 'reliable source' cite for the birthplace. Do we have one? Otherwise, and I say, to be useful to the readers too, we should 'note' something. This is an encyclopedia, not a scientific journal. What's wrong with a note? Don't let it irk you? :-) Alaney2k (talk) 16:23, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
