OK, anon contributor comes through and removes two names from the "born as" name, leaving it exactly the same as the name given to begin with. Is that really the case, and we should eliminate the "born as" part, or was it just some thoughtless vandalism? -- JohnOwens 01:29 Mar 27, 2003 (UTC)
New to wikipedia, but someones tampered with Plante's statistics can someone fix this?
Done and done....lil late i guess though i pulled them off the old versions of the page from 2 years ago. kinda scary no one saw that, that long Ottawa4ever ( talk) 23:26, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
I was looking over this article and noticed a few problems that will prevent it from reaching GA-status. Although I haven't looked it over thoroughly, a few things stood out:

Really only the issues I have are with consistency—the content, references, etc., look great.

I am glad to report that this article nomination for good article status has been promoted. This is how the article, as of March 2, 2008, compares against the six good article criteria:
If you feel that this review is in error, feel free to take it to Good article reassessment. Thank you to all of the editors who worked hard to bring it to this status, and congratulations.— Kakofonous ( talk) 23:04, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
Per WP:HOCKEY's decision to remove the nickname field from the infobox, it is being moved here for use later. "| nickname = Jake the Snake [1]" - Djsasso ( talk) 21:46, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

As I've noted on the Commons page for this image, all Library and Archives Canada images that are post-1949 (and therefore not public domain) are copyright violations, LAC does not allow free use of its images (see Commons:Category:Images from Library and Archives Canada).

Given that File:Jacques Plante masque.jpg and File:Jacques Plante of the Montreal Canadiens hockey team.jpg are now both nominated for deletion over at the Commons, thought should be given to uploading one or both of the images locally here on Wikipedia on the basis of a fair use rationale (assuming the images meet the fair use criteria). IIRC, that's what was done with this image of Jean Beliveau. -- Skeezix1000 ( talk) 16:09, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
I just reverted [3] an edit by User:Maxim. (S)he had reverted [4] an earlier copyedit by another user, thereby restoring some bad syntax and punctuation. I don't like reverting a revert without explaining myself, so here you are. Happy editing. Aylad ['ɑɪlæd] 16:50, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

In this article (and in others), Plante is sometimes credited with 434 wins and 437 wins. From looking around it appears that NHL.com and hockey-reference.com say 437 wins while hockeydb.com is the only source I've found that says 434 wins. The differences between the two sources are 2 wins in 1954-55 and 1 win in 1960-61. Looking deeper, hockeydb.com has two of the extra wins credited to Charlie Hodge (one in 1954-55 and one in 1960-61) and one of the extra wins credited to Claude Evans (one win in 1954-55). Which source is considered to be more reliable? Does User:Ho-ju-96 have any insight? Sxg169 ( talk) 15:45, 7 February 2019 (UTC)
Modest Genius, I added a citation as requested. He was drafted in the Intraleague draft which was sort of a precursor to the Waiver Draft that was cancelled following the 04–05 lockout. We don't have articles on all these old types of draft. It is an arcane part of now-defunct NHL procedure which I don't think is that well-documented in reliable sources. As far as writing article(s) on it, it would be difficult to avoid WP:SYNTH and WP:OR. For example I found a blog post on some of these drafts but there are no sources to follow and there appears to be disagreement between hockeydb.com and that blog post. Long story short, Plante was definitely drafted but it wasn't anything, dare I say interesting, like an entry draft or an expansion draft. Maxim(talk) 16:54, 2 November 2019 (UTC)
Z1720, I noticed you deleted a bit of uncited text. I've restored most of that, with citations. Let me know if you have/had any objections to the text other than the lack of reference(s). I added references in the two places you tagged. Maxim ( talk) 00:17, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
