[WikiEN-l] Questions about Scott Burnside article -- unattributed quotes

Fri Oct 7 17:46:12 UTC 2005

I was reading Scott Burnside's article,

  http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/preview2005/news/story?id=2172427

about top NHL rivalries, and I discovered that some passages appear to
have been directly lifted or slightly edited from The Sporting News and
Wikipedia articles. Who do I contact to address these concerns?

Thanks

 From the Sporting News 

"Claude Lemieux, for instance, became Public Enemy No. 1 in Detroit 
when, while playing for Colorado, he crashed Kris Draper facefirst into 
the boards in the 1996 conference finals."

 From Wikipedia:

"the Battle of Quebec intensified two seasons later with the "Vendredi 
Saint" brawl. The following season, the two teams battled for the Adams 
Division title, and the Habs won by three points. But the Nordiques 
would get revenge in the playoffs with a seven-game victory, clinched by 
Peter Stastny's overtime goal."

Also from Wikipedia:

"While the teams played each other often, the teams became pronounced 
rivals in the 1970s, when both were yearly contenders. The seminal 
moment in the history of the rivalry was probably Game 7 of the 1979 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=1978-79_NHL_season&action=edit> 
Wales Conference finals. After a rough and tumble series, the Bruins 
were ahead in the closing minutes. However, after the Boston bench was 
charged with a minor penalty for "Too Many Men on the Ice 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penalty_%28hockey%29>," Guy LaFleur 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_LaFleur> scored the tying goal on the 
ensuing power play, and Montreal won in overtime 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overtime>. The win allowed Montreal to 
advance to the Stanley Cup <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanley_Cup> finals

The Bruins were defeated in both the 2002 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2001-02_NHL_season> and the 2004 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2003-04_NHL_season> Stanley Cup Playoffs 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanley_Cup> in the first round by the 
hated Canadiens"

[...]

"The traditional rivals of the Maple Leafs had always been the Montreal 
Canadiens <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montreal_Canadiens>, but after 
decades of not meeting in the playoffs and during a period when Toronto 
failed to ice competitive teams for many years, that /rivalry began to 
fade/."

"Many Senators fans were ex-Leaf supporters who had turned strongly 
against their old team, while many Ottawa Valley hockey fans remained 
loyal to the Leafs."
