Talk:Guy Lafleur

message: Just in case people wonder, I moved the page from "Guy LaFleur" to "Guy Lafleur" because, in the French language, in Quebec or France, names like "Lafleur" do not take a second capital letter. Despite the fact that it seems widespread (probably based on the celtic Mc and Mac), the American custom of putting a second majuscule on the name of Franco-Americans, people with Quebecois descent, is not correct, at least not in the original French speaking context. --Liberlogos 00:48, 3 Sep 2004 (UTC)

message: :Image:GuyLafleur-bookcover.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 07:24, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

text: well on the most naturally gifted, you could change it to 'one of the top players' or some such thing, and then cite the hockey news top 100 players of all time.  He had a smooth skating style, so a reference there would be easy enough to find.  The popularity thing could go, but I imagine a reference could be found.  Astute does not begin to describe Pollock, but it would be hard to find  a ref.  If you feel you have changes that would make the article better feel free to post versions here an users can discuss them.  Dbrodbeck (talk) 20:09, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

message: In doing an image search I found this one, which is from the um, Russian wiki.  http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%A4%D0%B0%D0%B9%D0%BB:GuyLafleur_montreal.jpg I don't see any free images of Lafleur out there.  Any takers on whether or not this image can be used here? Echoedmyron (talk) 02:21, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: It is clearly a copywritten image and is labelled as fair use on the Russian Wiki. Being that the subject is still alive it wouldn't be a valid fair use on the English Wiki. And yes I know this is a reply to a very old comment. :) -DJSasso (talk) 13:56, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

message: It took me a long time to work out who 'the Habs' are. An explanation that it is the nickname of the Canadiens would have saved a lot of vexation. Bringmetheheadofalfredocockroach (talk) 09:27, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: @Bringmetheheadofalfredocockroach: Since the term only shows up a handful of times and is rarely used in other biographies (e.g. Maurice Richard), I've replaced it altogether, which avoids having to work in an explanation. Thank you for the input! Yeeno  (talk) 03:33, 25 January 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks! Not strictly on topic, but, as a youngster in the UK in the 70s, I became quite familiar with the name 'Guy Lafleur'. Now he seems to have been entirely overlooked in favour of Wayne Gretzky. Which was better? Bringmetheheadofalfredocockroach (talk) 05:57, 25 January 2023 (UTC)
