message: Is the name Niittymäki or Niittymaki? mäki sounds like it would be the real one but I'm not sure. If it is, then we'd need to rename the article, right? --HJV 21:03, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: That's been the source of much debate actually. My stance: its Niittymaki in ENGLISH. Check WP:HOCKEY discussions for further info. ccwaters 21:59, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The name of this article should be Antero Niittymäki, but after that it could be typed as Niittymaki. Lapinmies 13:07, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  This article was MOVED from Antero Niittymäki for no reason other than the ä. If so many people think it should be at the ä version that there is a discussion on the page about it, maybe it should be moved back...? PS his jersey in the Olympics has the ä, and I am watching him play right now. ;) Hazelorb 20:35, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  It says "Suomi" on the front and he's playing against a team with "Росси́я" printed on their jerseys. What's your point? ccwaters 21:07, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

text:  Agreed, I'm pretty sure those jerseys were issued by Finnish-speaking Finland, not English-speaking NHL (although if you are a Habs fan it would be technical to say part-French). Anywho, it doesn't matter because Mr. Sundin will give this Niitymaki a schooling anyways on Sunday. Oy, Olympic hockey this year has been dull... I want my NHL back.

replies: text:  I'm glad the page was finally moved back to the correct Finnish spelling, Niittymäki.  The custom in English Wikipedia is to render ethnic names in the original -- witness all the Polish football player pages and such.  The English version should be then added as a redirect page, which was done here.  -- Mareklug talk 11:28, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

message: While it's useful to add measurements in both European and American units, I consider it highly inappropriate to substitute centimeters for feet/inches in a derogatory manner. Antero is, after all, a player on an NHL team in the United States, so both measurements are equally appropriate. You'll also find that practically all NHL player pages give the players' height and weight in feet and pounds because, well, they're playing in North America. In a nutshell, your units of measurement aren't better than anyone else's. -Elrith, 16.8.05
:I know that the US is one of the few, if not the only, country not to use the metric system, but since Antero plays in the US it is appropriate to have these measurements in US units. I do not mind having the other measurements since he did play in Finland for a while, and the rest of the world can understand better, and I appreciate the edit for that, but the way it was worded was very offensive. "Added metric measurements" would have been a much more appropriate and polite way of phrasing your edit. Maybe you should think before you type next time. --Hazelorb — Preceding undated comment added 22:23, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: "Merkin bastardisations" mainly referred to the wildly inaccurate "phonetic spelling" of his name, which would have sounded unintelligible to a native Finnish speaker. JIP | Talk 12:51, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

text: Did not have to be phrased that way, still. Besides, not everyone knows IPA and it was more accurate than the one that was on the Flyers website back in 2004. It's good that it's in IPA now, so that's why Wikipedia exists - to better the articles! Not to insult those trying to add information, you know? Hazelorb 20:53, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

message: Niitty's NHL.com stats should be incorporated with the wiki current stats. Hazelorb 04:04, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Done as of today. My next question for anyone actually reading this is this old archived version of the page:  a lot of the information was removed back when the page was moved to the non-diacritic version because it resembled a "teen beat article" I think was the phrasing - now that this article is only B-class and lacking in personal information, as raters told me, would any of this be good to put back in? I am the one who tracked it all down so I would know which references to get back and as you can see they're all there. I am very meticulous with that sort of thing. He also had a daughter recently (I believe he has another child as well) so maybe that kind of thing could be put in as well. Thoughts? Hazelorb 08:55, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

message: Nitty had an old mask that was gray featuring a gangster holding a Tommy gun, the gangster featured is Frank Nitti at the top. A Flyers symbol is in the middle, and The title "NITTY" is at the lower chin part on the mask surrounded by bullet holes.
Nitty's new mask is white featuring Frank Nitti with a Tommy gun at the top, the Flyers symbol in the middle, and "NITTY" on the lower chin in orange and black letters. "NITTY" is still surrounded by bullet holes but not as many. Nitty, in my opinion has the coolest mask in the histort of the NHL. Niittymaki is Better than Marty Biron. No offence to Marty. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.251.132.184 (talk) 23:13, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: I can't find a video on my hard drive (I have a lot of his phantoms saves), but what happened was he made a save and it bounced off of the glass up the ice and into the goal. It was spectacular. Hazelorb (talk) 03:04, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
