NHL 96 edit

  • ... that NHL 96 is the first NHL-licensed video game to include physical fights after the League previously barred the feature to promote a more wholesome image of ice hockey?

Improved to Good Article status by Cat's Tuxedo (talk). Self-nominated at 10:27, 20 February 2019 (UTC).

  • @Cat's Tuxedo: I would suggest copyediting the hook as it's a bit confusing or difficult to read (I understand the gist of it, but it's not very "snappy" at the moment). Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 10:38, 25 February 2019 (UTC)
Hopefully it's clearer now. Cat's Tuxedo (talk) 19:09, 25 February 2019 (UTC)
  • ALT1: ... that for NHL 96, the NHL changed its stance on fighting in licensed hockey video games and allowed the feature as long as it occurred only once or twice per game?


General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation

Even though I think it's a bit redundant, I went ahead and added a citation to that particular quote for the sake of following protocol. And I do think the alt would be perfectly suitable. Just tweaked the wording a bit to help it read better. Cat's Tuxedo (talk) 02:20, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
Thanks. Only used the DYK checklist template once before. Seems it's not a good place to leave comments, because they need to be removed in favor of "y". Anyway, tangent. :) It's resolved. Leaving this as the promoting admin's discretion between the original hook and ALT1, which are both sourced and "hooky". Good to go otherwise. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 03:59, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
