Talk:Kevin Nugent (ice hockey)

"Canadian"?
Nine months after the accompanying article's creation, an editor added the only ref until now, the first tags (which included Category:Canadian ice hockey players), and further text including "is a Canadian businessman and...". I suppose that I'm --Jerzy•t 05:44, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
 * 1) a reckless editor might speculate that the (unreferenced) statement
 * He was one of Wayne's "protectors," who would drop the gloves if someone took a run at The Great One.
 * could only describe a fellow Canadian, and that
 * 1) some editors might say "everyone on an American-based farm team of a Canadian team should be treated as playing for Canadians" without taking note of the clearly at-least-as-applicable description of Category:American ice hockey players,
 * 2) but it's hard for me -- in the case of an editor with 1000 prior edits -- to attribute failure to include at least "American-born" to any cause other than losing track, in mid-edit, of which article corresponded to which source.
 * 1) removing all direct reference to Canada (but mentioning the team's Edmonton Oilers affiliation, to demonstrate our ceasing to call him Canadian did not stem from ignorance of them)
 * 2) adding missing info, and
 * 3) incidentally removing the unsourced content about his "protector" (or enforcer?) role, that is also, throughout, PoV, unencyclopedically worded, or both.


 * I am retired, but just checking back in I found your comments above and on my talk page. I can't remember what I was thinking at the time I made the edit, while trying to start moving a 2 line unlinked stub into something more reasonable. I hope that your last suggestion (losing track mid edit) is the correct explanation. Thanks for fixing my error. Cje (talk) 18:03, 17 December 2011 (UTC)
