Talk:1999–2000 NHL season

message: I figured I would copy/paste a topic from the History of the Philadelphia Flyers talk page, since it applies here. It is improper to list it as 1999-00. In an edit I said, "PLEASE LEAVE IT as 1999-2000, as it isn't 1999-1900 as is implied with 1999-00." Perhaps this is an exaggeration; I think most people might assume that 00 means 2000. Nevertheless, when have you ever heard someone refer to that particular season as 1999-00 or 99-00? It is usually referred to in its full form, 1999-2000, or 99-2000 for short. Perhaps it is typed as such, but it is never said like that. I think the use of 1999-00 shouldn't be changed where it is illogical to do so (see Flyers team standings), but in the article itself I think 1999-2000, the proper form, should be utilized. --Sparkhurst 03:44, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: the article was originally written "1999-2000 NHL season", but i changed it almost a year ago (with no protest from anyone) to stay consistant with all the other NHL seasons on wikipedia. 1998-99 NHL season, 1999-00 NHL season, 2000-01 NHL season, etc. looks a lot better than 1998-99 NHL season, 1999-2000 NHL season, 2000-01 NHL season, etc. Also, i think people are smart enough to know that 1999-00 means 1999-2000 and not 1999-1900 as that is a mathematically impossible sequence of years.

text: I think it should be 1999-00. I've seen it that way a lot more often than 1999-2000. When talking about something that happened in the 1990s and ended in the 2000s after multiple years, I think the full year should be written, though. i.e. Steve Yzerman was captain from 1986-2006, not 1986-06. Anyone agree? J-Roc 18:40, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

text: I prefer 1999-00 as well.  Frankly, I am at a loss to understand why anyone would confuse 1999-00 with "1999-1900".  That is not a logical disconnect I see very many people making.  Officially, it was the 1999-00 season, and we should be going with what the leagues themselves referred to those seasons as. Resolute 22:36, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

text: Fair enough.  Personally, I prefer the consistancy of format.  1998-99, 1999-00, 2000-01 looks much cleaner, and is more consistant. Resolute 15:24, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

text: Bringing up old business apparantly, I was just noticing this, as well, and was just about to move the article until I saw this discussion. 1999-00 does not make logical sense. I know it seems to keep consistant, but it's not consistant with the same NBA season, in addition to record-keeping on NBA team articles. I feel like we should go ahead and move it if there are no objections. bmitchelf•T•F 02:18, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  The NHL guide and record book uses "1999-2000" FYI, so I agree with you. -- Earl Andrew - talk 02:51, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
