Edit to King Mswati III

I reverted your edit to Mswati III in which you changed every instance of Swaziland to eSwatini. This is due to the same reasons the Swaziland article hasn't been changed yet (you can look on the discussion on the talk page there). Grngu (talk) 19:35, 20 April 2018 (UTC)

iihf boxscores

thanks for getting the details so quick. please check that the source you are posting is for the whole game, they update period by period so it should have a '3' in it near the end of the url.18abruce (talk) 18:17, 15 February 2026 (UTC)

thats something I didn't notice, thanks Some dunce (talk) 18:40, 15 February 2026 (UTC)

If they are slow publishing you can even manually adjust it ahead of time. I do that with some of the minor IIHF tournaments, someone might complain on the Olympics but probably not.18abruce (talk) 20:24, 15 February 2026 (UTC)

yeah, I do that sometimes too when I know the format of the url that's going up... wasn't too sure about iihf scores but I'll take your advice. thanks Some dunce (talk) 20:55, 15 February 2026 (UTC)

Please also check the correct spelling of names and dabs. See here for what i mean. Kante4 (talk) 18:20, 18 February 2026 (UTC)
