Talk:Alexei Yashin

message: I'm not sure this is relevant.  My inclination is that two months from now, it won't matter at all.  I'd probably be inclined to remove it. Croctotheface 23:17, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Is the injury relevant? 

message: I don't really think that the "nickname" section of the infobox is really intended for nicknames like this.  I know from reading fan forums that many players receive similar punny pejorative nicknames like this from fans.  I appreciate the sources, but I still question whether it's really necessary or appropriate for the article. Croctotheface 02:55, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm by no means married to it, I just saw it was removed for being poorly sourced and sourced it.  His image in Ottawa is no secret, but dragging it into the article without making the whole thing tilt under POV won't happen.  But yeah, if such shining Lady Byng candidates as Darius Kasparitis and Sean Avery don't merit mentions like these for their on-ice behaviour, Yashin's off-ice & dressing room antics certainly don't call for it.

thread_title:  Pejorative nickname? 

message: I dont think this article is written from a neutral point of view. it seems to focus alot on Yashin asking for more money and not playing to pontential so i think it should be adjusted so it says "some fans think" instead of writing it like a fact because it is more of an oppinion.64.6.202.210 01:39, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm generally not a fan of adding clauses like "some think" onto statements that are not specifically related to fan opinion.  It would be less accurate to say something like, "Some fans think Yashin held out to secure a better contract" or "some fans think Yashin's point production has declined" because the hold out and decreased point production are facts, not matters of opinion.  If there are unattributed statements of opinion in the article, then they should certainly be attributed or removed.  In general, I don't think it's inaccurate or unfair to focus on the controvery Yashin has created: that's what drives the coverage he gets in news publications.  The New York press rarely mentions him without making reference to his contract and the less-than-stellar years he's had since signing it. Croctotheface 01:59, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

text: Is there a line like that in the article?  I think that there's a line about Alex Daigle not playing to his potential, but that's about as close to factual as you can get. Croctotheface 03:50, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
