Vandalism on 2019–20 Ottawa Senators season
I saw your note on User talk:Lectonar and wanted to let you know that I've (most likely) blocked the individual responsible from editing for 6 months. The technical explanation is that all the different IPs are part of a IPv6 /64 range. The 2607:FEA8:E2DF:F428:: bit is reasonably static, but the other parts are very dynamic (User:TonyBallioni/Just block the /64 is a good explanation). You can see all the edits from this individual at Special:Contributions/2607:FEA8:E2DF:F428::/64. Don't hesitate to drop me a note on my talkpage if you spot similar activity at other pages.

In addition, I assigned you two userrights that I think you will find useful. The first is rollback, which is used to quickly revert obvious vandalism. The second is the pending changes reviewer right, which marks all your edits as "reviewed" on pages with pending changes, and also allows you mark other edits as "reviewed". Let me know if you don't want these userrights, and I can remove them.  Maxim (talk)  19:10, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you so much. I appreciate. As for the new userrights that you have given me, I will find these very useful to me in the future. Thank you. Yowashi (talk) 19:58, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
 * I think 2607:FEA8:E2DF:F428::/64 might be editing 2019–20 Ottawa Senators season under the user Ock50. I have a feeling that it is the same person editing under different accounts because both accounts have very similar editing patterns. 2607:FEA8:E2DF:F428::/64 would make multiple edits to the article in one day. They would edit the infobox, the regular season game log, and the statistics sections. Looking back at Ock50's contributions from 2017, they would edit exactly the same way on the 2016–17 Ottawa Senators season and 2017–18 Ottawa Senators season articles. Another thing that really sticks out, is when the IP user updated the regular season game log, they would always leave the attendance and recap figures blank. Here is an example of that. This is the same case with Ock50, back in 2017 with this edit. Another thing that I noticed, is that both accounts edit the Senators articles immediately after a Senators game is finished. I can tell by looking at the time stamps of when they published their edits, and by looking at the NHL game summaries. Ock50 was inactive for more than two years, and they didn't start editing until Jan. 14. It seems odd that Ock50 has randomly started editing again now that the IP is blocked. I think it's the same person using multiple accounts. But, I don't know if this is considered sock puppetry. Yowashi (talk) 01:30, 19 January 2020 (UTC)
 * , thanks for point this out, I'll definitely look into it.  Maxim (talk)  02:51, 19 January 2020 (UTC)

Possible block evasion
I'm pinging you to this discussion because Maxim, who helped me in the section above, has been inactive since April 10. To help speed you up on this case, 2607:FEA8:E2DF:F428:0:0:0:0/64 was blocked for vandalism for 6 months following their edits at 2019–20 Ottawa Senators season. Today, I noticed an IP edited the Senators article that has a striking resemblance to the IP that I mentioned earlier. The IP addresses are the same. I looked it up, and the IP is coming from Ottawa, which is the same location as the blocked IP. Their block expires in July, but it appears that they have evaded that 2 months earlier. Now, I don't really have an issue with them editing the article for now, now that the NHL season is paused, there isn't much for them to edit. I may have some concerns with them later when the NHL season resumes if they choose to revert to their old editing habits. However, it's not up to me to decide what happens to their 'new' account. Whether they got blocked or not, it's out of my control. – Yowashi (talk) 21:37, 3 May 2020 (UTC)
 * The new IP could be the same user as, or it could just be another person in Ottawa editing the article of the local NHL team (both IP's being of subscribers to Rogers Cable wouldn't be a surprise either, given its local market dominance, and would also account for the IP numbers being so close). So the geo-location and interest overlap, while consistent with block evasion, is not sufficient for me to rule out the other possibility. Now I see from "F428"'s block record that they were blocked for "insertion of false information into articles". Is there a similar concern with the new IP's edits? If so that will strengthen the case for block evasion, or even more straightforwardly, allow us to warn/block the new IP based on the vandalism itself. Let me know your assessment of the quality of the new IP's edits. Cheers. Abecedare (talk) 00:46, 4 May 2020 (UTC)
 * There's a possibility that it could be a different person editing, considering I've seen another "2607:fea8" edit Maple Leafs and Raptors articles. However, from the IP's edits from today, they updated the transactions section of the article. From what I can remember, 2607:FEA8:E2DF:F428::/64 would also update the transactions section after a player was signed by the team. An example of that from October. I can't conduct a full investigation since the IP from today didn't edit the sections of the article that 2607:FEA8:E2DF:F428::/64 got blocked for. So, I don't have enough evidence to play with right now. Anyway, it's likely that it could just be a different person. Properly identifying IPv6 addresses is not my strong suit. All I saw was "2607:FEA8:E2DF" and I immediately jumped to conclusions. My bad. – Yowashi (talk) 02:31, 4 May 2020 (UTC)

Carolina Hurricanes, stop being an a-hole
Hey man, instead of getting angry in edit summaries why don't you update all the stats instead of criticizing the people who actually do the work? They update the GAAs the next day after the game I guess because it said Forsberg had a 3.10 last night. Why don't you chill out or just do the work yourself? You contribs show that you get angry a lot and all you usually do in those cases is make minor edits. Curtis23 talk to me


 * First of all, there's no need for the name calling. Second, I do apologize for being hostile in my edit summaries. I do take responsibility for my behaviour. Back to the more important topic, I checked the stats page from the Hurricanes website at around 2 AM (Pacific) which was a few minutes after you had published your edits. I can confirm that the stats page did have Forsberg's GAA at 3.10. At 9 AM, it was still at 3.10. I checked other sources which all had his GAA at 3.13. So I see where the confusion came from. Now, to answer your question about me updating the stats, I have been updating most of the NHL articles on a daily basis since 2018. I don't have enough time to update the statistics tables for every team after every game. So, I only update the stats after every five games to cut down on my workload. I don't mind you updating the stats, as long as it is done correctly, and prevents me from having to correct it later. Yowashi (talk) 21:37, 29 February 2020 (UTC)


 * Alright, that’s understandable. I just started doing this so I don’t know all the sorting rules and stuff so that’s why I screw it up sometimes. For players, what is it? Points then goals then assists? For goalies I thought it TOI but I guess it’s wins first. What’s the sorting rules for them? I thought Ned would have gone ahead of Ayres after his first game but you flipped them so I’m not sure. Curtis23 talk to me


 * The references that I have listed in the stats table on the Canes page are automatically sorted for you. (CAR skaters, and CAR goalies). If you look at the references that I mentioned, some columns are blue, some are grey and white. The blue columns are the ones that are sorted. The skaters are sorted by points, goals, assists. The goalies are currently sorted by wins, save %. You could change it so that it is sorted by wins, and GAA. But, the URL needs to be modified if you want it to be sorted like that. I would also suggest only using the references that I provided above to obtain your information from. The stats page from the Hurricanes website isn't accurate when it comes to the goalie stats. If a secondary source is needed, use hockeyreference, ESPN, or Sportsnet. Yowashi (talk) 23:55, 29 February 2020 (UTC)


 * Thank you, and sorry for the name-calling, I just felt a little mad I was trying to help and getting yelled at for it. Curtis23 talk to me

Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard
Their is an ANI disussion you may have been involved in Administrators' noticeboard. This was because you were previously been concerned about my conduct on NHL Hockey related articles a year ago. Please remember to be civil if you wish to comment on the appeal. Thank You NicholasHui (talk) 16:01, 25 March 2020 (UTC)

Uniform
Hi, I've noticed you have been reverting all my edits on Montreal Canadiens seasons (2018-19, 2019-20). The point is, I had added the uniforms because including the uniforms worn in each seasons is a common practise in other major leagues (just like NFL). I don´t know if the MOS differs for NHL articles.

Moreover the image in question, c:File:Montreal canadiens unif.png is free so it can be used with no restrictions here. - Fma12 (talk) 03:52, 23 April 2020 (UTC)


 * I wasn't worried about the image being free or non-free since it is your own work. We generally don't have images of the uniforms on teams' season articles for NHL since it is already on their main articles. I've been editing these articles for over four years now, and I haven't seen one NHL season article that has an illustration of a uniform set for a team. At this point, I'm just trying to keep things consistent with previous years. If you'd like to open a discussion on this, you're more than welcome to post something at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Ice Hockey – Yowashi (talk) 04:03, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

Quick message
Enjoy whatever time off you take away from here. Just know that your work does not go unnoticed and that it is appreciated by the rest of the hockey editors. Deadman137 (talk) 05:42, 29 September 2020 (UTC)


 * Thanks man, appreciate the support. Also, thanks for taking over for me during the finals. It was nice to be able to just watch the games instead of having to worry about getting the articles updated. I might stick around for another 1.5 to 2 weeks, as I might have to edit some NBA stuff. If I decide not to edit the 20–21 stuff when December rolls around, I'll let you know if I need help. Also, you and a bunch of other editors did an amazing job with all the other stuff that you guys did during the playoffs. Y'all deserve a lot of credit for your work.

NHL team schedules
Are you planning on adding schedules for all teams? Because I am in the process of creating the schedules for the Devils, Islanders and Rangers. I am asking, because I do not want to waste my time if you are going to do it. – Sabbatino (talk) 22:45, 23 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Nope. I will leave the Devils, Rangers, and Islanders pages for you to edit this season. Yowashi (talk) 22:46, 23 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the quick reply! I know how much work it takes, because I used to update most of the game logs with almost no help until you showed up. Thanks again for the help in previous seasons. – Sabbatino (talk) 22:51, 23 December 2020 (UTC)
