Fair use rationale for Image:98b&hcup.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:98b&hcup.jpg. The image description 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.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images 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.

I have now added a fair use rational. TheNottinghamPanther 22:45, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

Peer review

Hi. Just thought I would let you know (in case you missed it on the article's peer review page) I completed a pretty thorough peer review on the article you submitted to peer review, Nottingham Panthers. I have an article up for peer review as well if you felt like returning the favor. ;).A mcmurray 08:29, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your suggestions. I'll take them into consideration. I'm pretty new to this peer review aspect of Wikipedia but I'll take a look at your article. Kim Williams 21:59, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for taking the time to review this article. But instead of a downright failure, can you at least put the nomination on hold so that we have a chance to fix it? I can fix anything within a few days. Sportskido8 16:53, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Ah don't worry about it. As you said it can be easily be put up for re-nomination so it's not a big deal anyway. Thanks again for the advice. Sportskido8 18:34, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

WikiProject Ice Hockey August 2007 Newsletter

WikiProject Ice Hockey Newsletter Dear Kim Williams! You are receiving this newsletter because you have signed up as a member of WikiProject Ice Hockey. The purpose of this newsletter is to update on the goings on of the project, as there have been major changes, and a lot of new recognized content in the past few weeks. If you are an inactive user, you probably won't recognize the new and improved state of the WikiProject! From the project, Maxim. New recognized content By Maxim There have been a lot more Good and Featured articles written in the past few weeks. Here is a list: Featured articles Wayne Gretzky — Promoted on 2006-02-14; on Main Page on 2006-06-13 New Jersey Devils — Promoted on 2006-11-20; on Main Page on 2007-06-30 Martin Brodeur — Promoted on 2007-04-28 Fighting in ice hockey — Promoted on 2007-05-07; on Main Page on 2007-07-19 Dominik Hasek — Promoted on 2007-05-25 Good articles Calgary Hitmen Colorado Avalanche National Hockey League Joe Sakic Nottingham Panthers Stanley Cup Traditions and anecdotes associated with the Stanley Cup Ray Emery The French Connection (hockey) Featured lists List of ice hockey teams in Alberta List of ice hockey teams in Saskatchewan Frölunda HC seasons List of Colorado Avalanche players List of family relations in the National Hockey League List of New Jersey Devils players List of New Jersey Devils head coaches List of drafted Frölunda HC players Notes Article Improvement By Maxim Upon some discussion on the WikiProject talk page, the Article Improvement Drive page was revamped by Krm500 and Maxim. It was renamed Wikipedia:WikiProject Ice Hockey/Article Improvement, and it includes two section. The first section is called articles in dire need of improvement. It list articles, usually important, that are in very poor shape. The second section is called requested help. Users list an article they request help improving a certain article, which will facilitate collaboration, which is the aim of any WikiProject. There is one article currently listed there, Henrik Lundqvist, here. The goal is to at least get it to Good article status. Diacritics By Maxim In the past few weeks, there has been quite heated discussion about the use of diacritics in article name. The current guideline is using diacritics in the pages of articles of all player names which require them, but redirects are exempt. Task forces By Maxim There have been two new task forces started within the WikiProject to coordinate major topics. Sweden Ice Hockey task force This task force was initiated by Krm500. Its current goal is to improve Henrik Lundqvist to Good or Featured article status. It covers all Swedish clubs, leagues and competitions and associated articles, players and coaches that are Swedish, or have played/coached for a Swedish club, and arenas in Sweden. They plan to eventually operate as a sort of a sub-project, which will have its own articles for creation, ranking importance and quality of articles, and co-ordinate article improvement. Its current members are Krm500, Bamsefar75, and CLAES. New Jersey Devils task force This task force was initiated by Bsroiaadn. Its goal is to improve New Jersey Devils to Featured Topic status. Although it currently meets the required article count, the task force wishes to improve it further. Its area of coverage is very similar to the Sweden Ice Hockey task force. Its members are Bsroiaadn, JHMM13, FutureNJGov, Sportskido8, Michael Greiner, JRWalko, and Soxrock. Requested Images By Maxim After discussion on the WikiProject talk page, Serte created a page for Requested Images. The page encourages users to license images for use on articles. The page also has section to request images for players, arenas, game situations, miscellaneous, and team and league logos. The page has been quite popular; since it was created on July 21, there have been six completed requests. There are four currently outstanding requests: Patrik Eliáš — Photo of player, requested by Bsroiaadn Scott Stevens — Photo of player, requested by Bsroiaadn Daniel Alfredsson — Photo of player, requested by Maxim Hart Trophy — Photo of the original Hart Trophy (retired in 1960), requested by Scorpion0422 Article assessement completed By Maxim On July 12, Kaiser matias announced that he had completed assessing all the articles with a {{ice hockey}} tag, sorting them into Category:Unassessed Ice Hockey articles. Kaiser matias has ranked about 9000 articles in that category, and most were stubs, and "have no information at all", according to him. Everybody is encouraged to expand the stubs into real articles. This effort took around 5 months. A big thanks goes to Kaiser matias from me and all the project. Note: You have received this newsletter because you have added your name here.

WikiProject Ice Hockey newsletter

WikiProject Ice Hockey Newsletter Dear Kim Williams!

Here's the full list of all the 13 FL's promoted since the last newsletter. Hart Memorial Trophy James Norris Memorial Trophy Vezina Trophy Conn Smythe Trophy Frank J. Selke Trophy Lady Byng Memorial Trophy Lester B. Pearson Award Calder Memorial Trophy Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy King Clancy Memorial Trophy Jack Adams Award Presidents' Trophy List of Calgary Flames players There have been no new good articles or featured articles. Maurice 'Rocket' Richard Trophy has been given A-Class status due to multiple issues raised at FLC. Did You Know? By Maxim There have been 4 new articles featured in the Did You Know section? on the Main Page since August. Wally Tatomir - August 4, 2007, authored by User:Maxim. ...that Wally Tatomir, head equipment manager of the Carolina Hurricanes, holds four patents on ice hockey-related equipment?

Featured Topic Drive By Maxim Started by User:Scorpion0422, the aim of this drive is to make NHL awards a featured topic. A featured topic is basically a set of very high quality articles (good articles and featured articles/lists). In this case, the topic is NHL awards. Many users have helped, including Scorpion0422, Resolute, Serte, Hasek is the best, Maxim, Croat Canuck, Spike Wilbury, FutureNJGov, and T Rex/Dinosaur puppy. The progress has been very good; there are 12 featured lists promoted, and 2 good articles: Hart Memorial Trophy (Scorpion) James Norris Memorial Trophy (Scorpion) Vezina Trophy (Scorpion) Conn Smythe Trophy (Serte) Frank J. Selke Trophy (FutureNJGov) Lady Byng Memorial Trophy (Scorpion) Lester B.

Jack Dryburgh

Hi Kim, I've noticed you peeking at my sandbox ;-) As you've probably noticed I'm working on an article about Jack Dryburgh. Do you know if he ever actually played for the Panthers? According to his hall of fame entry he moved south the play for them before moving back to Edinburgh as he couldn't get a job, but it isn't clear whether he actually iced for them. Do you have access to anything that would confirm? Cheers -- JD554 11:45, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks Kim, you're an absolute star! -- JD554 12:15, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Peer review

Hi Kim, I've added your request for peer review of Nottingham Panthers to Wikipedia:WikiProject Ice Hockey/Peer Review as well. Might get some input from other Ice Hockey editors. -- JD554 (talk) 15:47, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

DYK

On 12 December, 2007, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article History of the Nottingham Panthers (1939-1960), which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Panthers-Steelers Rivalry

Of course I'd be more tempted to call it a Steelers-Panthers rivalry ;-)

It's a good idea from Oldelpaso, but I'd be wary about calling it the "biggest rivalry in British hockey" as that is certainly POV, especially to Fife/Dundee fans or Guildford/Bracknell fans etc.

I wasn't around when the rivalry started, but from what I've been told it seemed to start in the 94/95 Heineken season when Sheffield were quite far behind but put a long run together to just beat Nottingham to the league title. All of this was, of course, whipped up into a frenzy by he-who-must-not-be-named. Then there were the finals which we seemed to always meet you in over the next few years and then "that" bench clearance in February 2001.

The finals and the bench clearance are well documented enough, but I can't find anything online about the 94/95 title chase. I've got Sluyter's A Game of Three Halves which might have something in, but it's probably better covered in his Seasons to be Chearful which I don't have. I'll let you know --JD554 (talk) 12:57, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

I think you're probably right. Although the seeds were sown 92/93 the rivalry itself won't have been able to start until 93/94 when they were in the same division. I'll check Sluyter's book tonight and let you know if I find anything useful. --JD554 (talk) 15:22, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi Kim, I've had a flick through A Game of Three Halves, but unfortunately it doesn't mention the rivalry. I don't think I have any other sources which would cover it, sorry. Although if I think of anything, I'll be sure to let you know. --JD554 (talk) 20:30, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi

could you email me please? PMA (talk) 11:11, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

WikiProject Ice Hockey Newsletter

WikiProject Ice Hockey Newsletter Dear Kim Williams! You are receiving as you are a member of WikiProject Ice Hockey There's been many more new things going on at WP:HOCKEY; this newsletter will be sent every two weeks/months. If you wish to not receive the newsletter, please remove your name from the newsletter mailing list. Thanks! New recognized content By The Pancake of Heaven! There has been numerous new recognized content, so much that it's too time-consuming to sift through the "trophy cases" on WP:HOCKEY. Some interesting achievements: 2016 NHL Draft has been newly created and has immediately become a GA status article. The Vancouver Canucks task force has become active again, thanks to Canuckian89! J.D. Watt has been declined at WP:AFD. Drafts related to the OHL have been published! Task forces By The Pancake of Heaven! We are working to create a new task force within the WikiProject to deal with topics related to the Pittsburgh Penguins. It hasn't been created yet; but it aims to expand articles based on former and current Pittsburgh Penguins players and articles. Good luck! New Administrators Currently 0 promoted admins! Be the first one at WP:RFA. Featured Topic Drive By Maxim The original featured topic drive, initiated by Scorpion0422, has concluded succesfully. National Hockey League awards is now a featured topic, with 24 articles in total. Of them, 20 are featured lists, one is a featured article, and the other three are trophy articles that were too short to become featured lists. Eight users signed up to help out, shown here. The next Featured Topic hasn't been decided upon, and the ideas and organization for it fell apart. If you have any ideas, don't hesitate to share them at WT:HOCKEY. Notes More editors are needed to help out with the newsletter. The newsletter creator doesn't have an infinite nor perfect supply of ideas, and thus he might omit some interesting news. Portal:Ice hockey is being considered for featured status. Should Chris Pronger have been suspended for more than eight games for stomping on Ryan Kesler? Vote here! Help Patrik Stefan -- one of the greatest NHL draft busts -- become a GA status article.

Yaaaaaaay!

All I can say is I'm glad things are changing for the better! :Þ I'm not sure which page(s) you mean. Do you mean the season pages like Sheffield Steelers seasons? If so, the only other way I could see of incorporating it would be to split each competition into it's own section. A table could still be used at the top to give just the very basic information such as:

Season	League	Level	Autumn Cup	Knockout Cup	League	Playoffs	Challenge Cup
2007-08	EIHL	1	N/A	Lost	2nd	Won	Runners-up

Or maybe the table could be split into a different table for each league and only showing the relevant competitions. The Autumn Cup column could then be removed from the Elite League part for example. JD554 (talk) 11:13, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Edit summary

I notice you do not always add brief description when editing pages ie Nottingham Panthers - wikipedia says... It is good practice to fill in the Edit Summary field, or add to it in the case of section editing, as it helps everyone to understand what is changed, such as when perusing the history of the page. It's a good idea to set your user preferences (under Editing) to "Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary". I know its easily forgotten but it does help, well done with the Panthers page. Regards --palmiped |  Talk  15:35, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Photos help

Hi Kim, I'm afraid I'm no expert on the images front. I think that image needs to come under the GFDL but how that gets proved when someone e-mails you I don't know. There seems to be more information at WP:IUP and I would think that you would get better (and more accurate) advice on the talk page there. Cheers --JD554 (talk) 07:05, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

Oxford Wikimania 2010 and Wikimedia UK v2.0 Notice

Hi,

As a regularly contributing UK Wikipedian, we were wondering if you wanted to contribute to the Oxford bid to host the 2010 Wikimania conference. Please see here for details of how to get involved, we need all the help we can get if we are to put in a compelling bid.

We are also in the process of forming a new UK Wikimedia chapter to replace the soon to be folded old one. If you are interested in helping shape our plans, showing your support or becoming a future member or board member, please head over to the Wikimedia UK v2.0 page and let us know. We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising, promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded.

You may also wish to attend the next London meet-up at which both of these issues will be discussed. If you can't attend this meetup, you may want to watch Wikipedia:Meetup, for updates on future meets.

We look forward to hearing from you soon, and we send our apologies for this automated intrusion onto your talk page!

Redirect of Category:British National League (1954-1960) players

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Category:British National League (1954-1960) players, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Category:British National League (1954-1960) players is a redirect to a non-existent page (CSD R1).

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Category:British National League (1954-1960) players, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Request for help

Hi! Congratulations (and thanks) on the Panthers FA; I'm a big Panthers fan and it's a great resource. Was wondering if you could help me out... I've just moved from Notts to Blackburn, so I thought I'd look up the Blackburn Hawks on here before I went to watch them. And guess what... the page was awful. So I'm in the process of rewriting it, and was wondering if you could take a look and give me some advice? Cheers! AltitudeJunkie (talk) 02:15, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for getting back to me! I had a look and the original page was lifted off a website and posted by the original author, so strictly speaking that's OK I think! I'd appreciate any help you can offer. AltitudeJunkie (talk) 01:08, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

Alliance

I have just thought of an idea that could help to improve your WikiProject (Nottinghamshire). I have looked at the counties in the East Midlands and Compared them to the amount of those counties with WikiProjects, they are Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire. We all share a common purpose, that is to work on the articles of our county's which includes local history, geography and biographies.

Therefore to help us share methods of research and many other needs (basically 'constructive collaboration' as I call it) I am proposing that we form an alliance, NOT a Merger. I believe an alliance allows us to be independent just as before but in collaboration as well. This could really benefit our WikiProjects and I feel we might be the first in Wikipedia's history. I am a member of WikiProject Lincolnshire, I have founded WP:Latin and have already proposed the idea with relatively positive feedback still coming in and have placed a notice in WikiProject England. 95jb14 (talk) 17:52, 24 September 2009 (UTC).

Sneinton article recently overhauled

Hi Kim, I see you are a member of Wikipedia:WikiProject Nottinghamshire, and that you're also from Sneinton. I've recently made some major changes to the Sneinton article, and I was wondering if you had any feedback? Any thoughts at all - good/bad/room for improvement, etc. - that you could give would be very helpful. I'd really like to get Sneinton up to Good Article status at some point in the future. If you could leave any feed back on Talk:Sneinton, that'd be fantastic. Cheers, Anxietycello (talk) 14:44, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 09:21, 6 November 2016 (UTC)
