Talk:List of Chicago Blackhawks players

100 gp

Just realized that restriction, added Ouellette who only played 43 games. I kind of liked the old list that featured all players, was a good reference. But, I like the inclusion of stats, etc. now. -RiverHockey (talk) 19:44, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Yeah I have been working on readding all the players to this list but since I don't have a copy of the blackhawks media guide handy its taking me forever. -Djsasso (talk) 19:57, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

I like how the new chart looks, but why so many old Canadian flags? -RiverHockey (talk) 19:14, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

I believe the idea is to use it as it was at the time of their life. I didn't put them there so I don't know. In fact I am not sure I realized they were there before.-Djsasso (talk) 20:04, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Yep, that was the idea. I'm having second thoughts though, so I might go ahead and change them all to the modern Canadian flag. Teemu08 (talk) 23:56, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

"NAT"

Right now this list displays the current flag of the country they were born in, and not nationality as defined by WP-ice hockey. Should the list be defined to reflect "place of birth" or is nationality the intent? If the latter, then all those scotland/brunai/ wales flags need to be removed.--Lvivske (talk) 21:30, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

After thinking about this, rules from wp:bio state that flags shouldn't be used for place of birth. That said...this really just means all those scotland/wales/england flags should be changed to either Canada or UK...so whoever knows the correct nationality to apply, please help fix this.--Lvivske (talk) 03:26, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

This is something that the hockey project applies WP:IAR to. We still use flags, and we use them as place of birth for player lists/team rosters. We should probably just rename the collum. -Djsasso (talk) 13:17, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

I decided to be bold and rename the column in this article. Teemu08 (talk) 16:35, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

My remaining problem, then, is that Russia is used instead of USSR or Russian SFSR (I'd prefer the latter, since you have the UK nation states split as well). As well, Slovakia instead of Czechoslovakia, Ukraine instead of UkrSSR (Bondra, Babchuk) or Russian Empire (Gottselig)...--Lvivske (talk) 18:47, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

WP:SOFIXIT. We list the flags on rosters as the nation at the time of birth so you would be correct that they should be here. -Djsasso (talk) 18:50, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

Alrighty. I've already started. You keep saying POB nations are used on rosters...but....they aren't. Maybe I'm just not reading your right? Give me an example of a Scottish flag used on a team roster, or...?--Lvivske (talk) 18:58, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

The nation is Great Britain not Scotland so the Great Britain flag is used. -Djsasso (talk) 19:51, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

So, shouldn't GB flag be used here instead of England, Scotland, Wales, etc? That's confusion I'm having here--Lvivske (talk) 19:53, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

Hmm when I took a quick look it was. Maybe I missed the others. -Djsasso (talk) 19:55, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

I edited them to GB yesterday, Teemu08 reverted them...--Lvivske (talk) 19:57, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

Yeah the should scottish etc flags be used instead of GB flags arguement is something that always swings back and forth. Its partly the reason the wp:flag suggest not using them. -Djsasso (talk) 19:59, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

(Outdent) Use the Union Jack. GoodDay (talk) 22:52, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

Well I fixed it up. Afterwards I checked out the other lists of players for teams and this is the only page that uses POB over NAT...--Lvivske (talk) 05:25, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

If we use flag from when the players were born shouldn't the pre-1965 flags be used for Canadian players born... pre-1965? —Krm500 ^{(Communicate!)} 18:39, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

I agree. It came to mind last night. I don't know if I have the patience to sit through that one...--Lvivske (talk) 19:08, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

This issue is currently being discussed at WP:HOCKEY. Teemu08 (talk) 15:00, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
