Hello, I'm Zackmann08. Thank you for your recent contributions to MS Chi-Cheemaun. I noticed that when you added the image to the infobox, you added it as a thumbnail. In the future, please do not use thumbnails when adding images to an infobox (see WP:INFOBOXIMAGE). What does this mean? Well in the infobox, when you specify the image you wish to use, instead of doing it like this:

SomeImage.jpg

Instead just supply the name of the image. So in this case you can simply do:

SomeImage.jpg.

There will then be a separate parameter for the image caption such as Some image caption. Please note that this is a generic form message I am leaving on your page because you recently added a thumbnail to an infobox. The specific parameters for the image and caption may be different for the infobox you are using! Please consult the Template page for the infobox being used to see better documentation. Thanks!

Hello, my edit to the Scott Stevens page received the above warning and the change was removed. My edit to the page is indeed a neutral point of view, and actually a common knowledge point regarding Mr. Stevens hockey career. To not include this edit is to essentially accept a bio page that is written by that person's team specifically to direct a narrative, thus not neutral at all. Mr. Stevens is known for being a great hockey player, good defenseman and for severely injuring many star players of his time to the point of affecting their careers in a negative way. He did this by hitting them when they were defenseless and this is an understood fact in the hockey community, thus should be an important part of his opening bio paragraph. - Thank you.


 * Absolutely not You've added a variation on Although offensively capable, Stevens was largely known for his tendency to wait to hit offensive players when they were defenseless, and severely injure them to the point of affecting many of their careers. three times. That doesn't belong in the intro of a WP:BLP unless copiously sourced, as it makes explicit your opinion that the individual was acting with malicious intent. The article's Legacy section gives a more nuanced view, with sources. If the content in question is re-added, I will ask for a user block, or article protection. Thank you, 2601:188:180:B8E0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 16:32, 6 October 2019 (UTC)

What are you talking about? If you read Scott Steven's bio, the reference in legacy is CLEARLY written by someone on his team as it references the accusation of dirty play, but then follows it up with a quote that is not cited and makes it seem favourable to Mr. Stevens side. Then that quote is followed up immediately by another clearly favourable quote to skew the narrative of the mentioned "dirty play", and that citation link doesn't even work (see below). So who is more honest in what is being edited here? So if the mention isn't appropriate for the first paragraph, then is it appropriate for the first few paragraphs above the fold? I submit, the R Kelly profile as an example.

You want citations, what better citation than from an actual player who's career Stevens ended. Here's one. https://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/paul-kariya-opens-playing-career-stevens-hit-retirement/

Ridiculous, I donate to this damn site and it is becoming more and more fake crap all the time. Everyone wants to wash over the negative. The NHL literally changed the game's rules because of Scott Stevens late hits that were ending the careers of their best players. My comments are factual, its not about neutrality - what is that? Neutrality can be a takeaway from the entire wiki for Mr. Stevens, that's fair, but to not have honest contributions about the negative aspects of his career? This really isn't that important to me, so I'm not going to continue having this ridiculous dialog with a stranger. I just took it this far because I was really disappointed with the moderation of what I thought was a fair counter to a clearly skewed profile written. Does everything have to be fake news?

'Some players have accused Stevens of playing cheap and intentionally trying to physically injure players permanently. After his check on Shane Willis, Carolina Hurricanes goaltender Artūrs Irbe said Stevens was "trying to kill [Willis] or put him out of the playoffs". Stevens responded:[79]

“	What kind of respect do I get? ... Just because I'm a physical player, it's O.K. to come at me and do what you want? Hey, it's a hockey game. It's not figure skating. You know what? I can take a hit and I can give a hit. I don't care who it is. No one gets a free ride out there. I don't get a free ride, and no one gets a free ride from me. ” On the other hand, Kozlov did not blame Stevens for his hit and said he was a clean player.
