Stanley Cup playoffs
Hello and thank you for adding detail to the Stanley Cup playoff articles. Several of us have been following up by fixing the wikilinks. Please can you check that we've got the right player in each case? It can be difficult for a non-expert to resolve names such as Alain Côté, Stéphane Richer, Ron Wilson or Greg Adams where there were multiple players active in that era. Thanks, Certes (talk) 13:11, 23 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Hi Insofar as I am able to recognize a name that associates with more than one hockey player, I will attempt to disambiguate it myself. I will keep the names you've given in a list to refer to. Thanks for the difficult disambiguation work you've been doing. I know it is not as easy as you sometimes make it look. Cheers. Fdssdf (talk) 14:52, 23 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Dabfix can make the job easier. That tool shows links to disambiguation pages in red.  Clicking on them gives you a list of possibilities, which usually contains the correct target.  Often it's as easy as scrolling down to Sports and picking "John Doe (ice hockey)" with a quick check that he was born in the right era.  Occasionally it's harder - I eventually worked out that the 1985 Stanley Cup playoffs featured two different Ron Wilsons - and that's where we'd value your expertise.

 * Thanks for the link! I'll look into it today. Cheers. Fdssdf (talk) 20:30, 23 December 2017 (UTC)
