[edit]I see no reason to merge the entries. It is already the practice that shifted franchises keep their old entries -- cf. the separate entries for the Whalers, the Nordiques, the North Stars, the Jets, etc. -- and technically the Tigers and the Americans were not the same franchise: the New York franchise was granted *before* Hamilton's was revoked. See Charles Coleman's Trail of the Stanley Cup, Vol I. A mention in both articles as to the disposition of Hamilton's players makes sense, but no more than that.

- That is fair enough. Basically, I noticed that both articles were stubs and both articles are "almost" the same team. I put the requested merger up to see what other people thought. I actually agree that they are better as separate articles. Thanks for your insight. I will take down my merger request. Masterhatch 6 August 2005
Fair use rationale for Image:Newyorkamericanslogo30s.gif
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f7/Nuvola_apps_important.svg/70px-Nuvola_apps_important.svg.png)
Image:Newyorkamericanslogo30s.gif 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 Wikipedia articles 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 16:39, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

The Iroquois Shelter

Please explain Finish column?
[edit]Can someone with more knowledge of hockey than me explain the "Finish" column in the season-by-season record? What is meant when it says "Canadian"? For 1925-26 and 1938-39 to 1941-42 it says "NHL", but otherwise it says "Canadian". Weren't the Americans in the NHL their entire existence? Elsquared (talk) 04:55, 19 October 2011 (UTC)
- The NHL Americans were located in New York but played in the NHL's "Canadian Division" while the Rangers (who shared MSG with the Amerks) were in the NHL's "American Division". Centpacrr (talk) 05:01, 19 October 2011 (UTC)
- And, of course, the "NHL" entry recognizes the fact that, reduced from eight teams to seven, the league no longer had divisions. (How ironic that the team named "Americans" was the one U.S.-based team left out of the "American Division"!) WHPratt (talk) 19:50, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
