Discussion

Why do people keep erasing who Patrick is dating? I know him, and Caroline is a wonderful, caring person. Is someone jealous, or is this just not "important" enough? Because it really is. Special:Contributions/ ([[User talk:|talk]]) 00:18, 14 May 2008 Faith

You are so right. Let people know this stuff. To Wikipedia: In this day and age, information like this is what people want to know, and if you don't give it to them, this young generation is going to stop coming to your site for information.

South Buffalo?

I think listing Kane's birthplace as "South Buffalo, NY" (all capitalized like that) are misleading, because it makes it sound that "South Buffalo" is the name of a distinct municipality, like South Bend, Ind. There is no place officially called "South Buffalo," it is just a neighborhood within the city of Buffalo. Leaving it in the biographical section as the neighborhood Kane grew up in is fine though.

For example, if you look up the article on Joe Mullen, it lists his birthplace as New York, NY, not Hell's Kitchen, Manhattan, New York.140.251.125.50 (talk) 21:02, 23 May 2008 (UTC)Matt

bad behaviour off the ice

I think we should at least wait a day until more information comes out about this scuffle and the cabbie. It just hit the media and not enough details are out to give a Neutral point of view of the event yet. Just my thoughts. Ottawa4ever (talk) 17:57, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

To state that he had been arrested on robbery charges on a dispute over cab fare is NPOV. So long as no further assumptions are made. It isn't like there aren't a ton of sources for it. Resolute 19:26, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

Stats Errors

Just a few corrections for the sidebar: Kane is 5'9" and weighs 160 lb. Both the Internet Hockey Database and ESPN concur on this - I don't know where the other information is sourced from.

His NHL.com profile says 5'10'', 175. All 3 sites are reliable, though. http://www.nhl.com/ice/player.htm?id=8474141#&navid=nhl-keymatch RandySavageFTW (talk) 17:30, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Arrest editing question

Why can't you edit this page? It should show Patrick "20 Cent" Kane. To properly create a suitable nickname, such sources as Wikipedia should display it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by JYDK (talk • contribs)

I've temporarily protected the page from editing by unregistered and new editors due to repeated vandalism and violations of our biographies of living persons policy. The protection will be lifted automatically in about a day and a half, but I will immediately extend it if it becomes necessary. To answer your question, Wikipedia is not the place to promote a new nickname. While the "20 cent" nickname certainly has gained traction on online forums, it has no basis in reliable sources for Wikipedia's purposes. At this point, the repeated inclusion of it would be considered vandalism. Resolute 03:56, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

US Bobcats

I don't think this team even exists, he played for US National Team but never a team called the Bobcats.Sportslogo (talk) 02:34, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

First Cup winning goal by an American?

Does anyone know if Kane is the first American to score a Stanley Cup winning goal? I can't recall another. I know we have to wait until the it's said in the media, but I thought I'd mention it. BashBrannigan (talk) 03:16, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

As any Buffalo fan will tell you, Brett Hull scored a Stanley Cup winning "goal" with his skate in the crease, triple-OT of Game 6, 1999. Hull was a dual citizen, but he played internationally for USA.72.225.232.224 (talk) 18:36, 13 June 2010 (UTC)Matt

Here's a complete list of Cup-winning goal scorers. Off the top of my head, Neal Broten (1995) and Mike Rupp (2003) are Americans as well. You can look through the others, there might be more.72.225.232.224 (talk) 18:44, 13 June 2010 (UTC)Matt

Game winner in the WP:LEAD

If the WP:LEAD is suppose to summarize his biography, it should include his most important accomplishment. We remove mention of the game winner.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 07:41, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

I think it should be mentioned in the lead - it could use some expasion to refelct that he was the team's leading scorer this season, and was a member of the championship team. However I do not really think the extranous details (date, game number, time in OT, position of planets etc) should be included. --  StarScream1007  ►Talk  14:46, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

contract

hey I don't think his contract is 31 mil his and toews combined is 31 million can someone fix this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.25.55.21 (talk) 01:27, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

Actually, I believe that was misreported. Kane and Toews signed identical five year, $31.5 million contracts. Someone got confused and thought that meant $31.5 million total. [1] Enigma^msg 01:47, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
