@Sabbatino:I think you are referring to the edit where I added "As of late March 2020..." to an existing sentence. The source for that information is at the end of that sentence (same as the existing source). That article was published in March and mentions the league's hiatus, which are the two pieces of information that I added to the sentence. I think that edit is helpful, because readers that don't look at the citations will not realize how out of date that information is. March 2020 was a very different world than now. Is there a different way you suggest I make that edit? Thanks for your advice and helping me understand the right way to make edits.CNoyes~enwiki (talk) 16:05, 10 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Well no. The reference that you added was published on December 9, 2020, which was yesterday and not March like you claim (if that is what you had in mind). MOS:REALTIME (and MOS in general) does not allow to write in present tense (currently, as of December 2020, etc). The WSJ article is just a rehash of multiple rumors and that is pretty much WP:CRYSTAL. So the best solution is to wait for official news from the NHL and not some reporters who have no connection to the league (writing about the league is not connection). – Sabbatino (talk) 19:56, 10 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Sabbatino:Sorry for the confusion... I made two edits this morning, and you left this warning on my talk page after the first one. I wanted to make sure I addressed that warning. I don't think that noting the date the league made the statement about the season length requires a source in addition to the one is already there.
