List of oldest NHL players

I was browsing Wikipedia and notice that you created the List of oldest NHL players. Aside from being horribly inaccurate (I can guarantee that there are not 128 year-old hockey players still living) it is complete original research and borderline unencyclopedic. For comparison, my list is far closer to accurate and still has problems. I was going to flat out nominate this for deletion - however, upon thinking about List of oldest living Major League Baseball players, the page may salvageable. So I guess my question would be, would you be willing to work with me on making more compliant with Wikipedia's guidelines? Cheers, CP 05:36, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Articles for deletion nomination of List of oldest NHL players

I have nominated List of oldest NHL players, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of oldest NHL players. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. iMatthew ^{talk • take my poll} at 01:23, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

Sorry about the article

Sorry that your article was put up for deletion, I am very impressed with the way it appears, and am surprised that you are practically the only person who made it. Ikip (talk) 02:36, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

Hi Marc.

It's brilliant that you're able to populate the Olympics hockey rosters, but it would be nice to have sources for them. There is a spot in the stub templates that is reserved for a reference to the source. Could you tell me where you found this info?

Invitation to wikiFeed

Hello Marc87,

I'm part of a team that is researching ways to help Wikipedia editors find interesting content to contribute to Wikipedia. More specifically, we are investigating whether content from news sources can be used to enhance Wikipedia editing. We have created a tool, called wikiFeed, that allows you to specify Twitter and/or RSS feeds from news sources that are interesting to you. wikiFeed then helps you make connections between those feeds and Wikipedia articles. We believe that using this tool may be a lot of fun, and may help you come up with some ideas on how to contribute to Wikipedia in ways that interest you. Please participate! To do so, complete this survey and follow this link to our website. Once you're there, click the "create an account" link to get started.

For more information about wikiFeed, visit our project page. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask via my talk page, or by email at wikifeedcc@gmail.com. We appreciate your time and hope you enjoy playing with wikiFeed!

Thanks! Jeremey Bentham (talk) 21:16, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

Nomination of List of ice hockey players of Middle Eastern descent for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article List of ice hockey players of Middle Eastern descent is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of ice hockey players of Middle Eastern descent until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. MSJapan (talk) 04:19, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

link title== User:Marc87/Hockey == Hello...I'm habfan789. I hope I'm doing this correctly. There are 2 things. First of all, George Sullivan is 84 years and 3 days. So he can be added to the 84 to 89 years old group. Also, Pete Babando is a few days older that Ralph Nattrass in the 84 to 89 group. Babando should be no. 9, and Nattrass no.10.

HELLO...This is Tony Medici of habfan789 again, and again, I'm not familiar with how to send you a proper Wikipedia Message. Anyhow on your age 83 to 89 years old NHL player list, player number 10 BOB SOLINGER died on December 10, 1925. He was born on December 23, 1925

Edmonton Eskimos all-time records and statistics

Greetings! I see you've made a number of reverts to Edmonton Eskimos all-time records and statistics but have not explained your reasoning for the edits. Discussion on the talk page is clearly in order at this time.

I suggest you revert your most recent edit to avoid any issues with the three revert rule and instead discuss the matter at Talk:Edmonton Eskimos all-time records and statistics, to get some measure of whether there is support for the changes. Thank you. —C.Fred (talk) 03:03, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

Good advice C.Fred, I have posted my thought on this matter today. I await your reply.

User Habfan789

User is willy nilly making changes to hockey player articles, claiming that a website called SIHR has more accurate information. User is also saying so in the body of the articles, rather than using citations, and is frankly making a mess of things. Not sure that SIHR has any credibility; requires signing in to view the info, and I suspect the content is, like wikipedia, user-generated and therefore not reliable. I have come across you in hockey editing before which is why I thought I would tell you. Not sure where to take this. User edit history here: [5] Echoedmyron (talk) 04:19, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

SIHR is not (just) a website. It designates the Society for International Hockey Research, an organization with more than 500 members, which holds two meetings per year and publishes a quarterly Bulletin as well as a yearly Research Journal. It has a database of more than 200,000 players and more than 1.1 million lines of stats. Those stats are not user-generated, only a handful of members have authorization to make edits. Each edit should be judged on its own merits, but the SIHR database, while not-publicly accessible, is extremely reliable. --Mpj81 (talk) 13:43, 3 September 2013 (UTC)

Hello Marc87. In the 84 to 89 age group, 2 hockey players have died and death dates provided in their Wikipedia section. Hal Murphy on Oct.12, 1976, and Leo Gravelle on Oct.30, 2013. Both have been updated, so you can remove them from the 84 to 89 age group.

Also in the very last section that has 10 olayers that have no death dates, 2 have been found and updated on their individual Wikipedia sites. They are Maurice Courteau, and Charles Crotch. You can remove them from that section.

Other than that, I love your site. I go on it every dat.

Town categories for ice hockey people

Hi, you have probably noticed the decisions at CFD to upmerge several categories that you created, to multiple parents. This has to be done manually, so they are listed at Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Working/Manual#Ice_hockey_people.

I hope this is not too discouraging for you. I looked at a couple of edits to the biographies, and noticed that you made other improvements along the way, so it's not all lost time.

If you would be willing to do some of the upmerging, that would be very welcome. – Fayenatic London 20:26, 14 November 2014 (UTC)

Hi Marc87, I've noticed plenty of times you adding name information on player names based on SIHR database info.

March 2015

Hello, I'm Hirolovesswords. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Pierre McGuire without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; I restored the removed content. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks! Hirolovesswords (talk) 12:51, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you. Hirolovesswords (talk) 21:09, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Pierre McGuire shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

March 2015

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Nancy Walton Laurie. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. While edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount and can lead to a block, breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. Hirolovesswords (talk) 23:28, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.

Places in lifespan brackets

I know you've been around here long enough to know that we don't include birth or death places nor the letters "b." and "d." in the lifespan brackets of biographical articles.

NHL Relations edit

Why are you removing information from the NHL relations page?

Both Hamilton brothers are playing in the Calgary Flames organization - this type of information is included throughout the article (see: Benn brothers, O'Reilly brothers, Samuelsson brothers, Schenn brothers, Sedin brothers, Staal brothers, etc.)

Maybe the Sauve uncle-nephew relationships do not need to be there as if you read all the siblings, parent-child, and cousins sections it is deductible, but I personally don't think that clarification is clutter. Same goes with the Kearns and Lukowich relationships. Yes, the information is there if you read every section and deduce, but why not provide that information explicitly.

And why would you remove the Brickley cousins? Both are/were NHL players, and 1st cousins, once-removed, are closer in relation than the plethora of second cousins, and especially the third cousins such as the Carkners and Pietrangelos, or the "distant cousins" of Clark&Melrose and Kocur.

3RR and Edit Warring Warning

Four times now you have reverted the NHL Relations page without explanation or reason, three in the past day. You do not describe your changes or reasoning in the Edit Summary, nor have you engaged in the article talk page or on your own personal talk page, or reached out to me - just simply, continuously negated my edits. I can see by the edit history of the page that you seem invested and interested in the page and believe you act in good faith, yet I do not understand why you continue to remove the information on the page. To try to resolve this edit war, I am sending it off to Admins, and am obligated to give you the heads up I am doing so, in case you were unaware that edit warring is prohibited.

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution.

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/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 South East Asia, Japan/China or India 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. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 05:21, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

place of death for lesser-known NHLers

Hi, marc87, I'm wondering if you can help me. I have noticed that you have added many death dates for hockey players' bios on wiki. I'm trying to find place/city of death for several obscure players and figured if you found their dates, you'd also have a lead on their city of death. Of course, I also realize if you had this info you'd have included it, which leads me to ask how you found the dates. As a starting point, for instance, Eddie Burke and Dutch Cain. Any assistance appreciated. Thanks, Andrew. ps I'm 99% sure Kevin Kemp is not dead. 67.71.66.2 (talk) 13:33, 28 October 2016 (UTC)

This talk page is on my watchlist for some forgotten reason, and I saw the above note about Kevin Kemp, and yes, I see no evidence of him being dead since 1999. In fact, I found these articles suggesting he's very much alive (at least as of January of this year). Not sure why he's a Senators Alumni if he retired from hockey on the early 80s, perhaps simply because he's from Ottawa? But definitely the same guy. [6], [7], [8]. I have updated his article to be a living person once again and added a couple of these links as refs. Echoedmyron (talk) 13:58, 28 October 2016 (UTC)

The person who left the note above contacted Wikimedia via OTRS. I noted a general advice to discourage people from leaving email addresses in such public places.

Speedy deletion nomination of Bill Baker (ice hockey, born 1884)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Bill Baker (ice hockey, born 1884) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a real person or group of people, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. --Cameron₁₁₅₉₈ ^(Talk) 16:21, 8 September 2017 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Pat Larochelle

The article Pat Larochelle has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This player was borrowed for a game from an amateur team. He doesn't qualify for presumptive notability WP:NHOCKEY (he did not play in the NHL or a top amateur team) and no significant coverage to pass WP:GNG.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Removing NHL Current Oldest Players section

Hi Marc87, Why did you remove this section?

Proposed deletion of Fred Wilson (ice hockey)

The article Fred Wilson (ice hockey) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Does not meet WP:NHOCKEY requirements, and no indication that he meets WP:GNG either.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Can you explain why you are changing the birth date for Gardiner? Sources, both from his era and modern ones, clearly state him as being born in 1904, so why are you changing that? Kaiser matias (talk) 19:03, 28 July 2021 (UTC)

Your recent reverts

Do you have a rationale behind them, or do they just go straight to AfD? You are aware, I hope and trust, that NSPORTS has deprecated mere participation standards, and that actual reliable sourcing are required to sustain articles? Ravenswing 06:07, 12 March 2023 (UTC)

If you want to claim that they never played in NHL, then show me the sources.

Hello, I'm Flibirigit. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Sherbrooke Castors, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Flibirigit (talk) 10:40, 28 March 2023 (UTC)

Only source doesn't mention the subject

Why are you creating articles where the only source (the IIHF ranking) doesn't include the teams you are writing about? You must get your information from womewhere, so please use that source (and the correct date) instead of an official but in these cases useless source. Fram (talk) 16:27, 25 April 2023 (UTC)

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that one or more recent edit(s) you made did not have an edit summary. You can use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit, or to provide a description of what the edit changes. Summaries save time for other editors and reduce the chances that your edit will be misunderstood. For some edits, an adequate summary may be quite brief.

The edit summary field looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary, and then click the "Save" button.

Your draft article, Draft:Colombia women's national ice hockey team

Hello, Marc87. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Colombia women's national ice hockey team".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 08:03, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

April 2024

Hello. In a recent edit to the page Russian invasion of Ukraine, you changed one or more words or styles from one national variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.

For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, India, or Pakistan, use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the first author of the article used.

In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. Respect other people's versions of English. They, in turn, should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any questions about this, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. Thank you. TylerBurden (talk) 20:17, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
