Template:NHLTeamSeason

I like your season template and have been working on some older seasons as I ran into a few problems with the current template. How should we handle leading the league in points before the Presidents Trophy? Maybe a NHL League Champions tag, and maybe other divisions, such as the American Division? Also, ran into a problem with the Detroit Cougars name plate for the 1926-27 Detroit Red Wings season. In the box I don't want to put Detroit Cougars (NHL) and if I just put Detorit Cougars it heads to a disambig page. Just some thoughts as we start working on older seasons. Let me know! -->Schmackity< 15:38, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

FL Main Page Proposal

You either nominated a WP:FLC or closed such a nomination recently. As such, you are the type of editor whose opinion I am soliciting. We now have over 400 featured lists and seem to be promoting in excess of 30 per month of late (41 in August and 42 in September). When Today's featured article (TFA) started (2004-02-22), they only had about 200 featured articles and were barely promoting 20 new ones per month. I think the quality of featured lists is at least as good as the quality of featured articles was when they started appearing on the main page. Thus, I am ready to open debate on a proposal to institute a List of the Day on the main page with nominations starting November 1 2007, voting starting December 1 2007 and main page appearances starting January 1 2008. For brevity, the proposal page does not discuss the details of eventual main page content, but since the work has already been done, you should consider this proposal assuming the eventual content will resemble the current content at the featured content page. Such output would probably start at the bottom of the main page. The proposal page does not debate whether starting with weekly list main page entries would be better than daily entries. However, I suspect persons in favor of weekly lists are really voicing opinions against lists on the main page since neither TFA nor Picture of the day started as weekly endeavors, to the best of my knowledge. See the List of the Day proposal and comment at WP:LOTDP and its talk page.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 19:36, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Viable complaint

So why do you get to decide what is noteworthy? I never got a response as to my last comment. Therefore, my page was deleted without reasoning. Are you note worthy? I believe so. So why do you define what is or is note noteworthy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rjarows (talk • contribs)

As defined by Wiki: Internet guides. Wikipedia articles should not exist only to describe the nature, appearance or services a website offers, but should describe the site in an encyclopedic manner, offering detail on a website's achievements, impact or historical significance, which can be significantly more up-to-date than most reference sources since we can incorporate new developments and facts as they are made known. See current events for examples.

The impact: it broke a news story of a franchise moving. Therefore it follows this guideline. It had the story before the newspapers in both cities. I consider this noteworthy. Tell me why it is not. Rjarows 03:31, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

I thoroughly enjoy this! I understand everything you are saying. However you say the claim is unverifiable. Check the Las Vegas Gladiators page on wiki. It lists an article in the Las Vegas newspaper, Cleveland newspaper, and then my blog. All dates of the written articles can be seen. My blog broke the story first. Therefore it is undeniable that I broke the story. Also, as far as searching google, you can find the blog that way. I've done it before. I also received a good number of hits in 2 days, so it was seen by a large group. It was cited by other who were talking about the story on messages board as well.

I look forward to your response Rjarows 03:46, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

I understand your feelings as far as conflict of interest, however in no way did I report in my entry an opinion such as "I am the greatest writer of all time." I merely stated a fact, I broke a story. You seem not to have read the two newspaper articles which both show they were written after the date of my post about the move of the team. This is VERIFIABLE. Newspapers are viable sources. I don't believe a story needs to be written about me breaking a story to consider it to be viable. For example, I see that you are a hockey fan. If Barry Melrose broke a story that Sidney Crosby will be suspended for the rest of the year, for me to list that in Barry Melrose's wiki entry does fox sports have to write an independent story about how Barry Melrose broke it for it to be verifiable? Because merely showing it on ESPN's website would not be good enough since it is not independent of Melrose, it is his employer. Similiarly, I "work" for my blog. Therefore listing a story on my should be the equivalent of the situation I described.

I would like one final reply, if anything just to see how my latest response could be disputed. However, I am very disapointed in the innerworkings of Wiki. This was my first venture into creating an entry. Frankly, I think its incredibly unfair. I understand the rules, I disagree with them. This whole "notable" thing is subjective in my eyes. Who is to say what is a credible source? As previously stated, we are in an era of free flowing information online. Provided what I enter is not bias (it was not, it was fact based and not opinionated), vulgar, or demeaning, I see no reason why it should not be considered viable. Its more information! Isn't that what Wiki is about? As of right now I am unsure and questioning why I will continue reading it

LOTD proposal

You have nominated a recently successful WP:FL. There have been two recent proposals to begin a List of the Day feature on the main page, which have both received majorities but have not been approved as overwhelming support sufficient to change the main page. WP:LOTDP is a new proposal to try to get the ball rolling based on the original proposal. You can voice your thoughts on its talk page. Basically, what the proposal entails is attempting to run an official trial, and then vote after the trial run on whether to change the main page. Support to run a trial requires much less consensus than support to change the main page. Should we succeed at eventually getting such a feature on the main page it would tentatively look like this. Whether or not you support an experimental trial or not you should come discuss the matter at WP:LOTDP's talk page. I apologize if you have either already voiced your opinion on this matter or already tired of hearing about it.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 21:28, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Cannons.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Cannons.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 02:37, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Featured List of the Day Experiment

I am contacting individuals in the order of the number of featured lists that they had created by Novemeber 10, 2007. You have created several. So you are among the first. There have been a series of proposals to initiate a Featured List of the Day on the main page. Numerous proposals have been put forth. After the third one failed, I audited all WP:FL's in order to begin an experiment in my own user space that will hopefully get it going. Today, it commences at WP:LOTD. Afterwards I created my experimental page, a new proposal was set forth to do a featured list that is strikingly similar to my own which is to do a user page experimental featured list, but no format has been confirmed and mechanism set in place. I continue to be willing to do the experiment myself and with this posting it commences. Please submit any list that you would like to have considered for list of the day in the month of January 2008 by the end of this month to WP:LOTD and its subpages. You may submit multiple lists for consideration.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:LOTD) 17:11, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi, would you mind taking a look at Hockey Hall of Fame which is a GA and I hope to have it ready for an FAC by the end of the month. As well as a quick look at List of members of the Hockey Hall of Fame, which could be ready for an FLC now, I'm just waiting for another FLC of mine to pass and I'm also a tad concerned because the tables are too... Skinny. Can you think of anything to add? I'll do a copyedit of Calgary Flames for you, which looks pretty good. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 04:17, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Yes, it is a book (I got it at Chapters for $15 a year ago and I never thought I'd find a use for it. They also have a similar book except for NHL trophies, so that one might be worth picking up) and as far as I know, that is the proper way to cite things because the book has no credited author. For example FAs like The Simpsons all use the same book as a citation multiple times and thats how the references are formatted. However, I will look into it, just in case I'm wrong. And ref 13 will be removed. Thanks for taking a look at it. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 19:26, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

On assuming good faith

This is probably off topic for AN, but in response to the discussion there.. No, thinking someone who made a particular mistake may have also made similar mistakes elsewhere is not remotely a case of failing to assume good faith. Look at what the actual words say- assume good faith. This means we assume people were trying to do the right thing- it has nothing at all to do with assuming they were successful. That is an utterly crucial difference. Someone can act out of the best of faith, but if they're incompetent, they're going to make mistakes. Heck, even the most competent people you can find are going to make mistakes (they'll just presumably tend to make smaller mistakes, and/or fewer of them.) This may sound like a fine point, but I consider it pretty important. I can't count how many times I've seen someone say "I think so-and-so was wrong in doing this.." and then someone chimes in with a completely irrelevant "assume good faith!" It's nonsensical, and it distracts from meaningful discussion of the issue at hand. A bull in a china shop may have good intentions (i.e. he is acting in good faith), but he's still bad for business. Making useful contributions requires good faith and competence. That last ingredient is utterly essential. An editor who runs around exercising piss-poor judgment is still disruptive, no matter how good his intentions were. Friday (talk) 15:55, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Minor league hockey categories

I know I could probably put these categories up for mergers myself, but I would feel much more comfortable that it was done right if someone more experienced such as you did it.

I've noticed that some of the overcategorization of hockey players by team (by league) has also resulted in some categories which overlap. For example, there is Category:Tulsa Oilers (CHL) players, but there are also Category:Tulsa Oilers (1964-1984) players and Category: Tulsa Oilers (1992-present) players. Similarly, but more bizarrely, we have Category:Kalamazoo Wings (1974-1995) players and Category:Kalamazoo Wings (1974-2000) players, which makes no sense whatsoever to me. I understand why Category:Kalamazoo Wings (2000-) players exists as it does (it was the UHL, but now it's the IHL, but the other league was the IHL too... man, why couldn't they have just left it as the UHL?), but the first two seem to just be complete overlaps. By the way, there is no plain-old Category:Kalamazoo Wings players. *sigh*

I'm sure there are more examples than these two, but these are the only ones I've spotted so far. Any help, or at least a suggestion? Thanks. :) Skudrafan1 (talk) 17:44, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Would you mind setting up the CfD for the Wings categories? You probably have that process down pat by now, right? :) As for the Tulsa Oilers categories, I see what I did not see before (about it being two different league). I will focus my energy de-populating Category:Tulsa Oilers (CHL) players and moving the articles into the appropriate time frames. Thanks! Skudrafan1 (talk) 18:01, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

I just finished emptying Category:Tulsa Oilers (CHL) players, so if you wanna zap it, be my guest. :) Skudrafan1 (talk) 05:56, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

There was no plain old Category:Kalamazoo Wings players category from a cfd a month or so back. I don't think when I did that cfr that I noticed there were two seperate Kalamazoo categories for the wings prior to 2000. I only had the 3rd one changed from Kalamazoo Wings (UHL) to (2000-). I think there is no single category because they hopped leagues and it wasn't just a name change the first time they hopped leagues like it was when the UHL changed to IHL. -Djsasso (talk) 18:26, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Actually upon looking at it. Mayumashu as usual created the Category:Kalamazoo Wings (1974-1995) players after the cfd last month that moved the Category:Kalamazoo Wings players to Category:Kalamazoo Wings (1974-2000) players. I don't think during the cfr that it was noticed that they change their name for a period of 5 years. -Djsasso (talk) 18:27, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

No problem - it took me a while to work out why there was a slew of footballers popping up on CSD, then I noticed that a template had been deleted for being a duplicate even though it was still in use.

AJHL Final standings

It is getting to that time of the year again! How would you feel about updating the AJHL teams when the season ends on February 27th? I've already did the OPJHL, SOJHL, 5 out of 6 OHA-C leagues, MLH, EOSHL, GMJHL, SJHL, and EOJBHL... it is the busy season! DMighton (talk) 06:26, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, the AJHL looks tough this year... real tough... some really stacked teams. I just hope that St. Mikes, Vaughan, or Huntsville can survive the OPJHL deathgrind that is known as their playoffs to meet one of these AJHL teams this year. DMighton (talk) 17:40, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

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.

GA of Ottawa Sens

Thanks for the congrats. I noticed your comment about microfilm reels. Yeah, I know what you mean. I have spent a lot of time lately on the original Sens and early hockey. The only thing out there for a lot of that time is microfilm. One thing the Toronto Library has online is Globe and Mail dating back to 1840s. It's searchable, but the OCR scans of the early text is bad and you can't do searches that far back. But I think it is the future, and easier to look at than the microfilm of old newspapers. Although the old newspapers are pretty interesting to compare with today's coverage of sport. I don't think it is getting better, in some ways, like local coverage Alaney2k (talk) 14:22, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

NHL Team Season template

Regarding the various lines indicating a team won the Division/Conference/etc., I think that it is possible this could be added to. For example, the template as currently designed does not have room for indicating when a team wins the Conference Regular Season Championship. Also, there is no way of expressing the two sorts of Division Championships that were available for a time (regular season and playoff). Is there a way to add this functionality? MrArticleOne (talk) 16:59, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Such banners do exist. See http://picasaweb.google.com/joelhakim/AnaheimDucksDetroitRedWings/photo#5125425165666379506 and http://picasaweb.google.com/joelhakim/AnaheimDucksDetroitRedWings/photo#5125425200026117890. MrArticleOne (talk) 00:37, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

What are NHL-awarded banners? What reference(s) are you basing this distinction on? How are you differentiating between banners the Red Wings put up, and ones issued by the NHL? The only avenue I know of to get at how "things are done" is to see what NHL teams do, because I am not familiar with any more definite policy. MrArticleOne (talk) 01:02, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Note that it looks like the Canadiens only put up banners for Stanley Cup victories. This suggests to me that the banners in many arenas for the Presidents' Trophy, Conference and/or Division Championships are no more NHL-awarded than (say) the Conference Regular Season Champion banner in Detroit, unless they're all NHL-awarded and the Canadiens are just more selective in what they choose to put up. See http://cache.viewimages.com/xc/77721470.jpg?v=1&c=ViewImages&k=2&d=17A4AD9FDB9CF193A242DD909DF1BD4B4EE64286CEDA771A284831B75F48EF45. MrArticleOne (talk) 01:10, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

The Dallas Stars put up a Division Champions banner, a Presidents' Trophy banner, and a Stanley Cup banner, but no Western Conference Champions banner in 1999. See http://www.thesportsroadtrip.com/dallas08.jpg. MrArticleOne (talk) 01:14, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

I should note, I've never been in any NHL team's arena, so all I know to go by is what I see on television. No arena's arrangement is familiar or otherwise "feels normal" to me. MrArticleOne (talk) 01:27, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Absolutely not regarding the superfluous banners ("Thank you fans" "Inaugural season" et al.). I just don't know how you're differentiating between what the NHL "recognizes" and what it doesn't. I get your point regarding the fact that certain achievements are accompanied by a trophy. But, what I don't understand is how you tell the difference between the NHL "recognizing" the Division Championship banners, and "not recognizing" the other ones that we've talked about here. The only way I could possibly tell what the NHL "recognizes" is what it allows its teams to put in their arenas; I can't think of any other way of accessing the NHL's protocols. I just can't discern any way to differentiate the Division Championship banners from the ones you're saying are disfavored. MrArticleOne (talk) 01:37, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

I mean, if the NHL "awarded" the banner, then it's curious that Detroit's Division Champions banner looks identical (other than the wording) to the ones that aren't "awarded" by the NHL. I see no superficial logic to the NHL specifically regulating the recognition of Division Championships, but then letting the team do whatever it feels like with other accomplishments that (under your approach) the league apparently considers of dubious authenticity. Of course, it's possible you're privy to inside information that I am not that makes this clear (perhaps you work for the NHL, or a team), but if you aren't, I am just not understanding what basis you're using to differentiate between the ones you think are "in" and what is "out." MrArticleOne (talk) 01:51, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

I have never been in any arena, so I have no real basis of comparison. Your point regarding western Canadian teams, though, is seemingly as ad hoc as anything else; I don't see where it necessarily indicates what the league does or does not "recognize." One telling fact would be whether the league gives/gave a cash bonus to the team/players for doing this things (e.g., will the players for Montreal or Pittsburgh get a bonus for being the non-Presidents' Trophy-winning-but-still-1st-in-the-East team). I am not sure where to find out such information. I know the Presidents' Trophy is accompanied by a cash bonus, and it seems like I have read in the past that the Division Championships are. If the league does award a cash bonus to those teams, that would seem to be just the sort of "recognition" that you speak of. MrArticleOne (talk) 02:36, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Do you have any references that division champions in the 80's and early 90's was the 2nd round playoff winner? The Flyers consider themselves 82-83 Patrick Division champions based on this picture even though they lost in the division semifinals. Another one. --Ulf17 (talk) 22:47, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

E-mailing the league if a good reference doesn't turn up is a good idea. I would like to have some proof if I'm going to be making changes that contradict the team's banners and some websites. --Ulf17 (talk) 21:36, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

It's possible both Regular Season and Playoff division champions are recognized. Some teams recognize RS championships, others PO championships, and some, like the Penguins, recognize both apparently. [2][3]

2007–08 Calgary Flames season

Hi there. I was wondering something seeing your edit. I'm wondering what goes into the "Decision" field. I thought it was the nr. 1 star picked from that match. According to the summary on NHL.com, that should have been Nabakov. Do you use a different source perhaps or does something else go into this field? I'm just wondering since I filled out the field for the third match presuming that the nr. 1 star goes there, since the previous games had Kiprusoff and Nabakov listed, which were the nr. 1 stars for those matches.--Fogeltje (talk) 16:02, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I made the page an FLC, but I think the page may have to be withdrawn because as far as I can tell, the Challenge cup section is loaded with OR and games that aren't mentioned anywhere else.

Re:Ed Chynoweth

At one pint I also nearly created a page for him because I was going to create pages for every member of the committee that didn't have one, I made one for Yvon Pedneault, but never got around to the rest. I've also considered creating a list of selection committee members, but I doubt I'll ever be able to find sources for the pre-Internet era members. As for Chynoweth, he probably will be inducted this year, and I'm surprised that isn't already in, considering that the selection committee members have a history of inducting themselves. Chairman Jim Gregory was inducted in 2007 and I'm surprised that I can't find a reliable source that criticizes it, considering the stink that was made over Gil Stein's induction. By the way, if you need another source for the Chynoweth article, here is the Hall of Fame's official statement. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 01:14, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

History of the NHL articles

Right now, according to {{NHLHistory}}, the most recent "era" of the NHL is from 1991 to the present. Because the game changed so dramatically after the lockout, I think it'd be most logical to end that era in 2004 and eventually create a "post-lockout" (or "New NHL", since that's the buzzword) article that covers the last three seasons and onward. Of course this is assuming that each link in that template covers a new article.-Wafulz (talk) 19:24, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Great, thanks for that. If I may ask another question: I have no experience with the FA process, but I think, unlike with most of the articles I work on, there are probably enough sources about Stelmach to get him there. Would you be able to give me a brief assessment of what would need to happen to the article to do that? Sarcasticidealist (talk) 19:30, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks - I agree that the "background/personal life" stuff will have to be expanded, which is likely going to be the hardest part - that seems to be every bit as low-profile as most of his political career. Pictures shouldn't be a problem - I've started contacting some people on Flickr who have pictures of him up. And I'll definitely do a peer review, but I thought I'd get a quick informal one before I plunged in, so I could address the issues first. Again, thanks for your work with this article.

Today, both of our pages were vandalized by the same person, someone I don't know. Before that, I didn't know you, either. Chergles (talk) 22:04, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

History of the NHL

I'm still working on it; I'm a bit busy now, and I'll probably resume working on in the evening (EST). Hopefully, this time, I'll avoid labeling vandalism as copyediting. Maxim_(talk) 13:45, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

I'm not the edit warer

Enter the discussion page and you will se what you revert to is far from being the concensus version. Thats the reason i allow myself to revert back to it! The one who sterted restoring it is a Montreal fan so what do you expect. Enter the talk page, see what other users said, i brought a quote from anothers user talk page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.176.167.107 (talk) 19:22, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

I havent broke any 3RR!!! I havent edited this article and i dont know what it is! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.176.167.107 (talk) 19:24, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

But thats the whole point, i dont push my POV. If i would see a POV you would see CSKA as the greatest club ever. What i want is an NPOV formulation. For example, Montreal veing most succesful in the NHL by number of titles is not a POV, it's a fact if to look by number of trophies. Montreal being most succesful in the world it's a POV.

If you to have an opinion about how the formulation should be, please enter the talk page of the article. The reason i reverted is that previously i was ignored when tried to get an NPOV and found users who tried to make a Point, you would see that in the discussion with the user on his talk page i had. I copied at it to the Montreal talk page. Enter the discussion there. I dont mind not reverting but having a discussion, where there is a discussion and not many users who try to make a Poine. If you'll see thru the revert history of the article you would see i changed my formulation many times trying to get a compromise with those users, which are two. One a Montreal fan, the other trying to make a Point againt "My way" (i asked him many time to enter my discussion with the other user, what he havent done). State your idea of a formulation there, more users will state, and a concensus will be built without reverts. The dude with the Red Wings (talk) 19:45, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

A brand new account? entering the discussion? What's going on here (could it be Checkuser time?). GoodDay (talk) 19:46, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

There is no point. The IP we are debating with stated on the Canadiens talk page that he has registered this nickname. It is the same person. Resolute 19:48, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

I dont have a problem with their opinion, it's their right. But i dont really think articles are suppose to include opinions. I dont try to include mine, but try to say that we should include checked facts and not opinions or points. If i would include ny opinion i would say it's the best in the world only after CSKA Moscow in the article. I havent, and i wont, write in the Detroit Red Wings article because im their fan and this might hurt my objectivity. I try to NPOV things.

Declined speedy of Jong AFC Ajax

This article relates to the reserve team of the famous club AFC Ajax. Clearly the club itself is notable, but I disagree that its reserve team is notable/important/significant. I have asked the folks over at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football/Notability#Club reserve teams for their view. – ukexpat (talk) 14:25, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

NHL history timeline 1942-67

Hey, keep up the great work on the history articles, I've had them on my watchlist and they are progressing quite nicely. I was wondering if you were going to add a team timeline as you did in Part one. I think it would keep the articles style similar and make it look like one series, which is what it is right? I was thinking about working on Timeline of the National Hockey League, I like the style that you used on the first one, maybe I'll change it to match that. I'll be sure to proof-read 42-67 for the peer review at the latest, assuming you're gonna do that again. Blackngold29 05:21, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

I didn't realize that you made that timeline in Excel. Whenever you have time would you mind making one from 1917 the whole way through 2009? It would be cool to keep all the timelines in the same style, and I think yours looks better than anything a template can produce. I'd be glad to help with the lead, and maybe we could make it more in depth and add a few paragraphs going through every team and their reasons for forming and leaving. I'm sure you're probably busy trying to get the article up to an FA level, but I'm in no hurry. Thanks! Blackngold29 16:39, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

Sounds good. I'll work on the prose in my sandbox, feel free to jump in if you want I'm sure you know about it than I do. Blackngold29 01:35, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

I've worked the prose up to the Original Six. I used the 1917-42 article as a guide and used some of the same sources, but if you can fill in any citation gaps that would be cool, since I don't have those books. I did however pick up Brian McFarlane's History of Hockey at the library and it seems like a solid book, so I'll use it where I can. Blackngold29 22:20, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, that sounds cool. We could do a section (Prose, chart) for each era (1917-42, 42-67, etc.) I think that would work fine. And we could use the same timelines that you've already created. I wrote out the 1917-42 stuff in my sandbox, although it could probably use some work on readability because it's basically "Team A was formed in this year. Team B in this year. Then Team A folded due to financial trouble." So it's a pretty dry read, but it's a start anyway. Blackngold29 01:08, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

List of Toronto Maple Leafs head coaches

I know the Leafs aren't your team, but I recently started an FLC for the article, but I'm going away on Monday or Tuesday for a few days and I need someone to keep an eye on it for me. It will probably still be going when I get back on Friday, but you just need to make sure it doesn't fail until then. Thanks, Scorpion⁰⁴²² 01:55, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

I'm going to be pretty swamped this weekend, but I will keep an eye on the FLC and article and do what I can to assist in this article's passing. Resolute 01:58, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

Pengrowth Saddledome

Hi Resolute! I was wondering if you could help me with an article I'm writing. I've been looking for information about the Pengrowth Saddledome, too see if it was in any way inspired by the Scandinavium arena. I'm currently working on the Scandinavium article, hoping to get it to GA, and so far I just found references to them being almost identical in structural design. --Krm500 (talk) 10:51, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

I will check it out, thanks for the tip. Since you have experience with the GA process can I ask you to make a quick review of the article when I'm done with it? --Krm500 (talk) 17:19, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I just added two sections to the Scandinavium article. If you have some time please look over them and give me feedback on my talk page. I estimate that these two sections will cover less then one third of the finished article. I will add the Structure and facilities & Uses sections which are partially finished as soon as I have found good references. Regards. --Krm500 (talk) 03:23, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

GA review for Dark Angel (wrestler)

Hi, thanks for your review of this article. I have replied to your comments and made some changes to the article. Please let me know what you think. Best wishes, GaryColemanFan (talk) 01:55, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply. I moved the article to Sarah Stock, and I moved the GA review to Talk:Sarah Stock/GA1 to update the paper trail in the interests of transparency. GaryColemanFan (talk) 02:42, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

GA Review for Forti

Many thanks for your review! I have made some adjustments to the article and comments on the talk page, which I hope will have brought it closer to GA status.--Diniz(talk) 13:04, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

Hello again. You seem to have been involved in a messy situation involving the Max Mosley article, and I noticed that you have removed yourself from Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles. Are you able to complete your review of Forti? Thanks,--Diniz(talk) 14:48, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

OK, thanks for the update!--Diniz(talk) 15:29, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

Thank you very much for your review and listing it as a Good Article!--Diniz(talk) 16:36, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Max Mosley

Yikes. I feel I should apologise for the hassle you were put through over the GA review on that one - not that I was directly involved, but obviously we have created a cursed article! (For example, it was nearing the end of FAC when the whole 'Nazi orgy' thing blew up, resulting in instant failure). Thanks for taking the time to look at the article, and I hope subsequent events haven't caused you too much stress. Cheers. 4u1e (talk) 07:12, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Flames

Hi Resolute - the "Tony's stats" thing was simply to ensure you used a more encyclopedic "Statistics are correct.." rather than "Stats are...". Also, for the guys whose positions are unknown, either an en/em dash or a N/A, whatever looks best, but include a key which explains whatever you choose. Hope that helps?

Calgary Flames: Is & Are

Hi Resolute! I've just noticed your edit at Calgary Flames, changing the lead statement from "is" to "are". "Is" is actually grammatically correct, as the subject of the verb is one single thing: the team itself. It can be confusing as Flames is in the plural, but the verb should remain singular. I didn't want to revert without letting you know; you can revert yourself if you wish. Cheers! Maedin\^talk 19:50, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

It's actually a difference between British and Canadian English as well. Teams are a group of individuals as opposed to a single entity. -Djsasso (talk) 19:57, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

I agree that it is common usage, but team is a collective noun and therefore treated singularly (at least where I come from). Often when teams are referred to in the plural it is because the emphasis is on the players and because it's colloquial usage. However, I accept fully that it is a "Canadian" article and that your version "reads" a little better, so I'm certainly not going to push it. I'm sorry if I came across a little strongly at first :) Thanks, Maedin\^talk 20:17, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

No no...no problem at all. You actually aren't the first one. It came up on the talk page of the article itself earlier in the day. -Djsasso (talk) 20:20, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

I've only just seen that, lol. Should have looked there first, 'doh!  :) Maedin\^talk 20:24, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

No worries, and I see my secretary, Djsasso, has already replied. ;o) Resolute 20:29, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

Couldn't help it...been watching the page all day and its main contributer to make sure you weren't the victim of vandalism. ;) -Djsasso (talk) 20:33, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
