- "formerly known as MCI Center"-->formerly known as the MCI Center
- "The Capitals are owned by Ted Leonsis, with George McPhee as their general manager." "with"-->and.
- Are you sure? Wouldn't readers think that George McPhee is also a owner? "The Capitals are owned by Ted Leonsis, and George McPhee as their general manager." Doesn't sound right. -- SRE.K.A
nnoyomous.L.24[c] 02:28, 5 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]- Sorry, I meant "The Capitals are owned by Ted Leonsis, and George McPhee is their general manager."
- That sounds more reasonable. DONE -- SRE.K.A

- It's part of About.com. -- SRE.K.A
nnoyomous.L.24[c] 02:28, 5 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]- About.com is not necessarily reliable, I asked User:Ealdgyth to put in her opinion here. Dabomb87 (talk) 02:36, 5 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I'll just wait for Ealdgyth's reply until I do something about it. -- SRE.K.A
nnoyomous.L.24[c] 02:39, 5 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]- About.com is not reliable, so you should replace it.—Chris! ct 03:18, 5 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Can you tell me why About.com isn't reliable? -- SRE.K.A
nnoyomous.L.24[c] 03:20, 5 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]- See Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard/Archive 16#Huffington Post.2C_Gawker_and_About.com; generally, About.com is not considered reliable because anyone can write for the website; there is no fact checking or editorial oversight; the reliability of the page depends on whether the author meets WP:SPS as an expert. Why don't you use the official rules from NHL.com? Dabomb87 (talk) 03:29, 5 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Changed ref. -- SRE.K.A

Comment
- "Roger Crozier is the franchise's all-time leader for the least regular-season games coached (1), the least regular-season game wins (0), and the least regular-season points (0), as he only coached one game in his entire Capitals coaching career." Read like a run on sentence to me. Need to reword
- Can you suggest a rewording? -- SRE.K.A
nnoyomous.L.24[c] 03:29, 5 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]- Maybe just say Roger Crozier, who has only coached one game for the Capitals, is the franchise's all-time leader for the least regular-season game wins (0) and the least regular-season points (0). Or something similar.—Chris! ct 04:52, 5 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- DONE, but removed the least regular season wins one. -- SRE.K.A

- "Bryan Murray and Bruce Boudreau are the only Capitals coaches to have each won the Jack Adams Award." Remove "each"
- Jack Adams Award in the table need refs
- Look at the column heading, "Achievements". -- SRE.K.A
nnoyomous.L.24[c] 03:29, 5 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]- Well, either place all the refs at the column heading like ref 6, or place them all next to award names like ref 4.—Chris! ct 05:43, 5 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- The About.com ref issue need to be resolved.
- SRE replaced that reference with the official rulebook. Dabomb87 (talk) 04:09, 5 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In the lead, should you link head coaches to Coach (ice hockey) rather than head coach?– Nurmsook! talk... 01:45, 8 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Both would be fine, but I would like to wikilink it to Head coach because Coach (ice hockey) refers to both the head and the assistant coaches. -- SRE.K.A

Further commentsMake sure all season articles have endashes in the link, I noticed a couple that simply use a hyphen, thus linking to a dab page. Also, the "stats as of 2007–08" link links to the NBA article, not the NHL one as it should. Be careful with this, I've caught it on a few other of these articles as well.Could you switch the html endashes and emdashes to simply the symbols (– and —). This will reduce bandwidth and load time of the page.– Nurmsook! talk... 17:29, 15 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- DONE all. -- SRE.K.A
