Thanks for your hard work keeping Wikipedia clean. Magnolia677 (talk) 23:32, 1 February 2017 (UTC)

Question?

How can I move Glory 14: Zagreb - Glory 15: Istanbul - Glory 16: Denver - Glory 17: Los Angeles - Glory 18: Oklahoma to 2014 in Glory? Thanks KINGFEDORQc (talk)

I'm slightly busy right now, but if you ask at the WP:Teahouse, I'm sure there would be someone there to help you. Sorry! XboxGamer22408talk to me 06:14, 4 February 2017 (UTC)
Also, I was looking at your userpage and noticed that you speak French. If communication in French would be easier, please e-mail me, as I would be glad to help you in your native language. XboxGamer22408talk to me 06:23, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

Home Lander (talk) 03:21, 4 February 2017 (UTC) Not sure where to post this, but I was trying to add a bit of history to the PureVolume page, only to have it taken down after I posted it. Would love to have you reconsider.

OK, I'll take a look at it. XboxGamer22408talk to me 06:08, 4 February 2017 (UTC)
OK, so I looked at your previous edit, and I couldn't find a source for your information, hence why I reverted it. I would reccommend finding a reliable source that supports your statement before adding it back in. Thanks for asking! A little bit of clarification is always a good thing. XboxGamer22408talk to me 06:18, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

Yes! Clarification is great. I am rollinBENtleys39 and krunkOJcartonzNdice. That is my source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.56.30.151 (talk) 06:30, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

Sparhawk85 (talk) Hi. You removed my editorials from the "Dyatlov Pass Incident" article as well as my references. This article is just horrible. It is based on second hand documents that have no base whatsoever. I on the other hand posted a source that has first-hand documentation. For example I state that Yeti claims was actually taken from a fake newspaper made by the group known as the Evening Otorten. I read an entire Criminal Investigation in Russian and I can tell you that not a single document claimed that "the Yeti exists". It is a lie based on fictitious Russian journalism that tried to make the story more scandalous. No one actually worked with the documents of the investigation.

This is actually a translation from the first- hand document, criminal investigation of the Dyatlov Pass Incident, not some second- hand lies. "THE SCIENCE In recent years, the scientific community is a lively debate about the existence of a Bigfoot. According to recent reports, yeti lives in the Northern Urals, near Otorten mountain."

I want to leave an actual translation from the criminal investigation. And you delete it.

Article "Dyatlov Pass Incident" is 80% heysay and lies based on dishones people make up stuff. My research on the other hands deals only with the first hand documents. I believe this article should be changed to fit the facts and actual documents, not fictitious crap. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Paul I (talk • contribs) 23:12, 11 February 2017 (UTC)

Sparhawk85 (talk) 22:57, 11 February 2017 (UTC) Is this how I use this Talk section? New to this... The Toronto Maple Leafs have only won 11 Stanley Cups. The other 2 Stanley Cups that everyone always says were also won by the Toronto Maple Leafs were not won by the Toronto Maple Leafs. One of those Cups was won by the team called The Toronto Arenas. The other was won by the team called the Toronto St Patricks. While those teams might be considered part of the overall Toronto franchise, it would be incorrect to consider them the same team as the Toronto Maple Leafs. I'm sure I don't have to explain the entire history of the NHL to you but as you should know The Arenas were founded in the 1917-18 Season, the inaugural season of the NHL. Then a couple years later, they were bought by a new owner and renamed The Toronto St Patricks, and were then bought again by Conn Smythe in 1927 and renamed to be the Toronto Maple Leafs. As I explained in my initial edit, when it asked me how I made this page better, when you re-brand something to the point where you are literally changing EVERYTHING about the previous "brand", it becomes an entirely new product. The current Toronto Maple Leafs are not the same team as the previous Toronto Teams. It's like trying to include the history of the NHA Toronto team as part of the Toronto Maple Leafs as well, just because they were a hockey team based in the same city. The Arenas underwent a name change, logo change and team colour change when they became the St Patricks. When the St Patricks became the Maple Leafs, they also underwent a logo change, name change and team colour change. They are 3 different teams, part of the same Franchise, based in the same city. Imagine if you will for a moment, the Quebec Nordiques. Imagine things had been different and they had won a Stanley Cup. Then when they moved to Colorado and became the Colorado Avalanche, you wouldn't even dream of saying that the 1 Stanley Cup the Nordiques won also belonged to the Colorado Avalanche would you? Same franchise but different team. Same thing with Toronto. Same Franchise, different teams. It's why Wikipedia has 3 separate pages for the 3 separate teams. And since the chart on the NHL page explicitly states that it doesn't include defunct teams, there should be no reason to include the 2 Stanley Cups that were won by the different Toronto Teams as part of the Stanley Cups won by the Toronto Maple Leafs themselves.

OK, you can change it back if you want. XboxGamer22408talk to me 23:00, 11 February 2017 (UTC)

Sparhawk85 (talk) 07:51, 12 February 2017 (UTC) Since we were talking about this earlier, I made one more minor edit. Instead of the wordy edit I made before, about the different Toronto teams and their Stanley Cup Championships, I changed it so that the page will now read "The next most successful NHL franchise is the Toronto Franchise" with the word "Toronto" linking to the main Toronto Maple Leafs Wiki page. Just a matter of semantics really. Sparhawk85 (talk) 07:52, 12 February 2017 (UTC)Sparhawk85

And now I need your assistance. Other users who are either A) Hardcore Toronto Maple Leafs fans who refuse to listen or B) Just some random people who don't seem to understand the difference between a Hockey Team and a Hockey Franchise are trying to say I don't know what I'm talking about, and undoing all my changes that you told me I could do. I don't understand why these people refuse to listen, as clearly Wikipedia recognizes The Toronto Arenas, The Toronto St. Patricks and The Toronto Maple Leafs as 3 different hockey teams, as they are clearly stated to be different teams and have their own Wikipedia pages and everything. You understood the concept rather well but these guys won't listen. So now I need some help convincing these other guys on the Talk Page for National Hockey League, otherwise we'll never get Wikipedia to be accurate. And also, if you look at the Talk Page for Toronto Maple Leafs this same topic has been brought up multiple times on there as well and it's usually just 1 guy saying "No, your wrong" without providing real explanations, whereas at least 4 or 5 other people have all come together and reached a consensus and have said The Toronto Maple Leafs only have 11 Stanley Cups. So ya, could use some assistance. Sparhawk85 (talk) 17:19, 12 February 2017 (UTC)Sparhawk85
