2024 Stanley Cup playoffs
Just look through the last 100-150 edits to this article when you have a minute and you'll see my argument to semi-protect this article for a while. Deadman137 (talk) 23:24, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
 * , Done. Very excited to see who gets the second Eastern Conference wildcard spot tonight. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 23:31, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
 * There is a scenario where it could go to tomorrow night, but then I have to be on top of all the possibilities. Either way sit back and enjoy the games tonight. Deadman137 (talk) 23:40, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
 * The removal of the Mailloux/Newhook milestones as well as the Wideman retirement entries within their respective tables is disruptive to this page and should likewise be subject to the same sort of repercussion. This was done strictly out of spite in highlighting that 3-way trade formatting was/is prelevant across other NHL team pages. 2605:B100:B24:F40C:8C4F:588C:F15B:C723 (talk) 01:21, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

On an unrelated but hockey related note we have ban evading edit warrior using multiple IP addresses at 2023–24 Montreal Canadiens season, the article needs semi-protection. Deadman137 (talk) 00:54, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

The IP that was causing the problems at 2023–24 Montreal Canadiens season has created an account User:HabsFan2293. They also edited while on their block. The block started with this edit and as you can see they started back up later that same day. 

It is a clear duck and the article will likely need further protection. Deadman137 (talk) 04:28, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
 * , Seems I have free time since I am certainly not celebrating a win tonight. EC protected. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 04:38, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks again. That was not an entertaining game, anytime I start working on the game summary that early and it's not an elimination game then I know it's bad. I've covered so many playoff games that I'm neutral in most games now, even with teams that I don't like. Plus I cannot really show any favouritism in the role that I work in. Deadman137 (talk) 05:30, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
 * New sock for HabsFan2293 is 47.54.200.195. Deadman137 (talk) 01:53, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Was blocked by the time I got to them! HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 12:20, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

When you get a minute can you protect this article through June 25? There have been 13 disruptive edits in the last week. Deadman137 (talk) 03:57, 16 June 2024 (UTC)

Hello, you helped me update Carol Leonning's biography once before because I have a conflict and should not edit it. Can you help again....
Carol Leonning bio needs updating, very old info often used and incorrect for example she has won four Pulitzer Prize Awards -- see her Washington Post Bio for more accurate information: https://www.washingtonpost.com/people/carol-d-leonnig/ She is a journalism expert on the secret service and will likely be used a source for stories again and it would be helpful for her bio to be accurate. Thank you for your help. P.S. I am sorry that I am not as familiar and I should be with how to use wiki edit tools. MHKelley (talk) 16:32, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

Updating Carol Leonning's wiki page
Hello -- you helped me once before so I am reaching out again! Hello, I am Carol's sister-in-law. I know should not/can not edit her wiki page, but I wanted to alert someone that her page may need to be updated. Carol has won four Pulitzers (the page is incorrect) and a new significant award and she has a new book coming out. I've noticed that this wiki page is sometimes used for writing introductions for Carol for TV and radio appearances (then the introductions have to be corrected because they relied on the wiki page!). She is an expert on the Secret Service because she wrote a New York Times best selling book on it and she is in the news a lot today due to recent events so it might be useful to update her wiki page. I can help to provide documentation if you wish. But, some documentation may be found in other sources too: see her Washington Post Bio for more accurate/current information: https://www.washingtonpost.com/people/carol-d-leonnig/ and https://www.washingtonpost.com/pr/2024/04/27/carol-leonnig-honored-11th-annual-washington-women-journalism-awards Also the photo is very old and the official reporter photo taken by the Washington Post is much more current, it's on their website. Thank you if you can help again and I am happy to serve as a resource for accurate information. MHKelley (talk) 18:37, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
