Concerns about another contributor for Canadian NHL team pages
Hello Tampabay721. I am a regular contributor to the NHL team pages, and I am wondering if you could provide some help with an ongoing situation that I have been dealing with. Since the start of the NHL season, there has been this other user that edits all of the Canadian NHL team pages. I have noticed that this user constantly adds incorrect information in the player statistics section. For example, they will change a goaltender's GAA to a number that is nowhere near to the information that NHL.com provides. This user also likes to update the player stats and refuses to reorder it from most points to least. I have addressed this user about both of these subjects and have provided them with suggestions. However, they continue to refuse the advice that I have provided for them. I will not disclose this user's username for their privacy, but this user was the one responsible for writing a comment Magnus221's talk page in which they accused Magnus221 of doing something incorrectly. I'm unsure if I should be making this a big deal, but I just find it frustrating. Other users have also been concerned with this user as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 * I don't edit the statistics tables but looks to me like the established consensus is to order them by points based on what I read in the ice hockey wikiproject talk archives. You may have noticed already I also took offense to the message I read on Magnus221's talk page. However I'm not sure what more we can do since this editor has already been notified several times without much of a resolution. If I were you I would head to Editor assistance/Requests, lay everything out there and ask if there is any other action that could be taken or if we are just going to have to get used to it.

 * Hello again. I just want to say thank you for assisting me with this ongoing situation that I have been dealing with. The information that you provided was very helpful. Yowashi (talk) 03:59, 15 January 2019 (UTC)

Your signature
Hi Tampabay721. For some reason your signature seems to have two date stamps when it probably only should have one. Perhaps you customized your signature in such a way so that it also shows "4:12 pm, 31 January 2018, Wednesday (11 months, 15 days ago) (UTC+9)" but this bit of added info seems unnecessarily confusing to me. Editors are allowed to customize their signatures a bit as explained in WP:CUSTOMSIG, but this seems to fall under item two of "When customizing your signature, please keep the following in mind:". -- Marchjuly (talk) 01:49, 15 January 2019 (UTC)
 * I change the colors in my signature based on which of my favorite teams are in season, so when I need to change it I usually find a signature from a comment from the year before to copy and paste in the signature box. Looks like I copied just a bit too much this time and didn't double check before saving, so that's embarrassing. Thanks for the heads up! Tampabay721 (talk) 02:31, 15 January 2019 (UTC)

Adding in Recap for Tampa Bay Lightning season
Hi Tampabay721, I don't know where you get the recap site for the page. I like to know where you get it from so I won't struggle with it. NicholasHui (talk) 07:38pm, 16 February 2019 (PT) —Preceding undated comment added 03:38, 17 February 2019 (UTC)
 * I just copy the reference from the previous game and change the last few digits of the URL, the dates in the citation, and the home and away teams. The last few digits in the URL correspond to which game of the entire NHL season it was. For example, tonight the Feb. 16 Canadiens vs. Lightning game was game #895. So the link to the NHL.com page for that game would be http://www.nhl.com/gamecenter/en/recap?id=201802 0895 . Notice that I highlighted the number "0895" because these are the only numbers that need to be changed from the previous citation. Each regular season NHL game is numbered between the first game of the season in October or the last one in April. The next game the Lightning play will be Feb. 19 and it is game #918, and I know this because when you look ahead on the scores page of the NHL.com website and click on the "gamecenter" link for that game (link to that game), the number "0918" appears in the address bar. Therefore when that game is completed, the URL for the citation will be http://www.nhl.com/gamecenter/en/recap?id=201802 0918 . Clicking the link in the citation will technically bring you to a different URL but the end result is the same and it is much easier to change the URL that way from game to game. I know it's a little complicated but I hope that helps at all. <b style="color:#00205B">Tampa</b><b style="color:#0077C0">bay</b><b style="color:#00205B">721</b> (<b style="color:#0077C0">talk</b>) 04:18, 17 February 2019 (UTC)

Vandalism on 2018–19 Tampa Bay Lightning season page
I know they put a lock on the team page, but seems an admin may need to put a temporary protection on the season page since Blue Jackets fans (or angry Lightning fans) seem to want to keep adding necessary nonsense pertaining to the Lightning losing to the Blue Jackets in the first round.
 * Well since no one has edited it in the last hour, let's see how it goes tomorrow and if it gets any worse we can see about protection. <b style="color:#092C5C">Tampa</b><b style="color:#8FBCE6">bay721</b> (<b style="color:#0077C0">talk</b>) 05:46, 17 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Forget everything I just said, I just put in a request for protection so hopefully it is fulfilled by the morning. Gonna be a long offseason. <b style="color:#092C5C">Tampa</b><b style="color:#8FBCE6">bay721</b> (<b style="color:#0077C0">talk</b>) 06:05, 17 April 2019 (UTC)
 * It appears that the IP user that kept making edits from an opinionated perspective has returned, making the exact same edits. I have since undone the IP's contributions. I have a feeling that the IP user may make the same edits in the future. Yowashi (talk) 02:31, 21 April 2019 (UTC)
 * If you catch it again before myself or anyone else does, leave another warning on their talk page. (Template:Uw-npov2) <b style="color:#092C5C">Tampa</b><b style="color:#8FBCE6">bay721</b> (<b style="color:#0077C0">talk</b>) 03:47, 21 April 2019 (UTC)

Orlando Magic
Orlando Magic are 2019 southeast division champs, why do you keep reverting it? Qzonkos (talk) 01:45, 1 June 2019 (UTC)
 * My apologies. I didn't realize that it had been removed in the first place and all I noticed in your edit was that you had added to the number of championships, so I assumed it was an error. I have removed the notice I left on your talk page. <b style="color:#092C5C">Tampabay721</b> (<b style="color:#8FBCE6">talk</b>) 04:40, 1 June 2019 (UTC)

Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks!
Hello,

Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.

I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!

From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.

If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.

Thank you!
