Talk:Pierre McGuire

message: I removed the 3 most biased lines of the text...specially the one mentioning people will "overdose tylenol and advil after listening for more than 10 seconds"... I guess there's some other arguments that could be rewrote.... it's up to those who know him better than I do.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.57.55.229 (talk) 01:21, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

message: This article needs a complete overhaul. It's not divided into sections, seems to ramble on. Hopefully someone, with the finesse & ability, will give this page a cleanup. GoodDay 21:55, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Complete Overhaul

message: The content on this talk/discussion page is pretty worthless, with non-relevant and unsigned comments.  Shall we erase everything and start this page again? Is this a good idea?Que-Can (talk) 19:52, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

message: I watch nearly every Pittsburgh Penguins game, and I've never seen Pierre McGuire on any of their regional broadcasts.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.2.241.126 (talk) 21:14, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

message: The coach of a Canadian team at the World Jewish Ice Hockey Tournament is named Pierre McGuire. Is it the same guy and should we put it in?  pew pew pew 15:59, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Not without a reliable source to back it up, no.  We'd have to be able to show that it is the same individual. Resolute 23:50, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Canadian Jewish Team 

message: His real name is Regis but Pierre is in quotes.  What does that mean?  Did he make up that name to sound more Canadian or something?  I think that should be discussed.
: When names are enclosed in quotations, it is referring to what that individual's everyday name is, what people refer to them as, the name they go by, etc. Nicknames are often seen in quotes, and also treated similarly. I don't know why he goes by "Pierre", but it shouldn't be mentioned in the article without relevant sources.  01:38, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text:  Upon further review, it appears that this is his middle name.  06:20, 31 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text:  Upon reading the article cited, it seems very obvious that McGuire was being facetious when he said his real name is "Regis". There are no other sources which back up this claim other than sources quoting this article. Is this source (the montrealer online) even reliable? I think the "Regis" should be removed until someone can verify it, because it seems very dubious. Freshfighter9talk 21:06, 24 July 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Name? 

message: While some people enjoy McGuire's analysis he has many detractors.  In the past McGuire himself has stated his desire to broadcast "obnoxiously" (1) and in the eyes of some he has succeeded.  Even members of the media, which are normally very reserved in their criticism of peers, have taken shots at McGuire.  Some have suggested that he turned to broadcasting because he was a failure as hockey executive (2) while others have criticized his performance as an analyst (3).

replies: text: Not done: there are a lot of issues with this proposed addition, most of all that the sources don't seem to confirm the text.  Source #2, http://ckdp.ca/whats-wrong-with-the-toronto-maple-leafs/, seems to criticize him for his analysis, not his executive performance.  Source #3 is a long interview which does not seem to me to clearly address McGuire's work at all.  It's not even clear to me whether the interview is to be taken seriously and how much of it is a joke.  Please try to find stronger sources for these claims.

text: Mitch, Wikipedia is a collaborative effort.  You don't get to cherry-pick who does and doesn't contribute.  I will gladly defer to 's expertise in matters of hockey, but I agree with  that these sources are not very good.  If "you really have to understand hockey and hockey broadcasting in order to fully understand and appreciate" the references, then they're not very good sources to use in an encyclopedia intended for a general audience.  #2 is not a terrible source but #3 is really not clear, and I think should be removed.

text: Apparently you need to familiarize yourself with Wikipedia's BLP policy. I didn't create it, but we all as editors are required to adhere to it as closely as possible. You may not be a fan of McGuire, but Wikipedia isn't the place for that. The material you are attempting to add is considered contentious. Per guidelines, "Contentious material about living persons (or recently deceased) that is unsourced or poorly sourced—whether the material is negative, positive, neutral, or just questionable—should be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion. Users who persistently or egregiously violate this policy may be blocked from editing." You can read more here. Freshfighter9talk 15:23, 10 June 2012 (UTC)

message: I see that his tenure as head coach of the Baton Rouge Kingfish of the ECHL is not mentioned (1996-1997). Worse, the timeline given for his career makes it impossible for him to have coached.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 159.39.51.12 (talk) 18:47, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
