  • The team joined the NHL in 1993 as an expansion team and won their first Eastern Conference championship in 1996. - comma before and
  • There have been 10 head coaches for the Panthers franchise. The franchise's first head coach was Roger Neilson, who coached for two complete season - repetition of the word "franchise." In addition, these seasons where in between what time?
  • Neilson is the only Panthers coaches have been elected into the Hockey Hall of Fame as a builder. - as a builder?
He was elected into the Hockey Hall of Fame as a builder. Just look at the List of members of the Hockey Hall of Fame. -- SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24[c] 21:03, 6 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Builder seems very broad, is there a specific thing he did as a builder, because readers might think it has to do with hockey.--SRX 00:05, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
I don't understand your question...coaches are part of the builders category. -- SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24[c] 00:51, 7 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
But do you mean literally a builder? (i.e. Building a house?)--SRX 14:19, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
As I said above, Builder is a category in the Hockey Hall of Fame. Look at List of members of the Hockey Hall of Fame. -- SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24[c] 00:14, 8 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I know it sounds wrong but "builder" really is a category in the Hockey Hall of Fame.—Chris! ct 02:08, 8 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oh okay, I just wanted to be certain about it.--SRX 21:36, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
  • Is there any other history that can be added to the lead, it just seems very short, especially the history prose.
Do you have any suggestions? -- SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24[c] 21:03, 6 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Not necessarily, unless they have no other significant history.--SRX 00:05, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
I think think so, since the franchise has only been on for 15+ years. -- SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24[c] 00:51, 7 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • That red link just stands out, it bothers the appearance of the list, maybe just not wikilinking it will work. It doesn't hurt to do either or.
I or some other user will be making the article sooner or later, so no worries. -- SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24[c] 21:03, 6 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Why not just create it right now. It takes less than a minute to do that. The red link is very distracting, in my opinion.—Chris! ct 21:09, 6 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I guess I'll make it right now... -- SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24[c] 21:14, 6 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Laugh out loud! I spelled his name wrong. -- SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24[c] 21:21, 6 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Same comment as with the Washington Capitals article regarding the head coach. Also, perhaps under Roger Neilson's achievements section you could include the year in which he was inducted into the HHOF. It's a pretty big achievement. – Nurmsook! talk... 01:53, 8 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Replied on the other FLC. The Achievements column is only for achievements that are related to the article. -- SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24[c] 02:36, 8 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Further comments
    • Make sure all season articles have endashes in the link, I noticed a couple that simply use a hyphen, thus linking to a dab page. Also, the "stats as of 2007–08" link links to the NBA article, not the NHL one as it should. Be careful with this, I've caught it on a few other of these articles as well.
    • Could you switch the html endashes and emdashes to simply the symbols (– and —). This will reduce bandwidth and load time of the page. – Nurmsook! talk... 17:28, 15 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
DONE all. -- SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24[c] 23:51, 15 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Add the winning percentage column. I would also suggest adding a points percentage column, as provided by the same source.
  • "The Panthers are owned by Alan Cohen and Bernie Kosar, and Jacques Martin, former head coach of the Panthers, is their general manager." Add "the" before "former".
  • "MacLean is the only coach to win the Prince of Wales Trophy with the Panthers"-->MacLean is the only coach to have won the Prince of Wales Trophy with the Panthers...
  • Pipe link "builder" to List of members of the Hockey Hall of Fame#Builders.
DONE all. -- SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24[c] 20:43, 13 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
