Your edits to the National Hockey League article
Since you are a relatively new user, I want to mention these key points:


 * Decisions on Wikipedia are based on the consensus of Wikipedia editors, not the unilateral thoughts of one user.
 * The NHL article has historically been written in Canadian English. The current consensus is to retain the existing variety. There is no consensus that the NHL has significantly strong ties to one country or the other, and thus no consensus to change it to American English. Thus, the article retains the variety of English chosen by the original major editors of that page.
 * If you want to add your opinion on the matter, you may post a comment on the article's discussion page at Talk:National Hockey League (although I doubt consensus will change at this time because there are about an equal amount of American and Canadian users editing the NHL articles)
 * Your edits already have been reverted by at least two other users. If you continue to unilaterally change it back, your account may be temporarily blocked from editing under either the three-revert rule or as a disruptive editor. So I strongly suggest you post your comments on Talk:National Hockey League, and then eventually comply to whatever consensus comes out of that discussion.

Thanks. Zzyzx11 (talk) 21:35, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
