Hello, Brightersunsets, welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. Your editing pattern indicates that you may be using multiple accounts or coordinating editing with people outside Wikipedia. Our policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow this, and users who misuse multiple accounts may be blocked from editing. If you operate multiple accounts directly or with the help of another person, please disclose these connections. Thank you. Deadman137 (talk) 22:20, 14 May 2022 (UTC)


 * No it doesn't. I edited the NHL Post-season drought record under two IP addresses (accidentally, as I have a dynamic IP address and my router disconnects frequently.) I've edited the post-season page to undo your frequent vandalism/undoing of other editors making good-faith edits to reflect the current stats. You're alone against multiple editors who want to reflect up-to-date stats/Wikipedia readers who may come to the page, especially after the Panthers' win to end their postseason series win drought and the extension of Toronto's. Stop letting arbitrary rules affect the quality of Wikipedia - it's an internet platform and is perfectly capable of reflecting up-to-minute stats should editors want to contribute towards that end.

 * Using an IP address and account together is considered a very serious violation of policy around here, hence my warning was correct to issue. As long as you don't repeat that mistake again in the future there is no reason that you can't move beyond this.


 * Did it ever occur to you that there might be a reason why we have areas where there are specific rules in regard to editing? The article in question has been in existence for 18 years and there have been many different editors with your viewpoint that made an absolute mess of the article and greatly reduced its quality and accuracy. So as a result of that a rule was put in place to stop that practice and it was agreed that infrequent edits would be the best and most accurate way to handle this article. As one of the hidden notes clearly states "NOTE: Please do not update this table until the end of the current NHL season *not* when a team becomes 'mathematically' eliminated. This will ensure that all the teams are updated at the same time. Wikipedia's purpose is not to provide up-to-the-minute statistics." So all of your edits were in violation of community consensus. As an editor it is your responsibility to lookup what rules (if any) may exist in the area that you're looking to edit before editing. Failure to comply with those requirements can lead to editing sanctions. If you choose to move forward with editing Wikipedia please use much more caution in the future.
