[edit] Diacritics in NHL articles

Is there a guideline someplace recommending that editors not use diacritics in NHL related articles, or is it just a convention due to the fact that the NHL itself tends not to use them? I'm trying to understand the logic here because it seems a little weird and arbitrary to me. Zytsef (talk) 22:38, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Roger. Thanks for clarifying for me. Zytsef (talk) 22:49, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Template:NHLTeamSeason

Hi Resolute. I noticed that you created this template so I wanted to talk to you. I tried to add a field for the player who leads the team in Plus/Minus and I cannot get it to work. I was wondering if you thought this was worthwhile to add. Cheers Maple Leaf (talk) 23:18, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

[1]. What was the reason for not using them, considering it is their name? - Rjd0060 (talk) 18:24, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

OK. That makes sense! Thanks for digging up that thread for me. GO WINGS! - Rjd0060 (talk) 18:40, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
Well, you know. Coming off of a 3 game loss we're bound to let the opposition get a point. Don't worry though; it won't happen again! - Rjd0060 (talk) 20:46, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Can you help me sort out the Voodoo page business? I created a disambiguation page and sorted some links out.

I think you just broken them by delete so quickly. Thanks --Lucyintheskywithdada (talk) 23:06, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Golden Baseball League

I dont understand why that was taken out. All of the independent leagues have that saying. —Preceding unsigned comment added by TelusFielder (talk • contribs) 06:09, 30 January 2008 (UTC) Yes but all independent leagues articles say that. Every single one. Even a league that started up just last year. TelusFielder (talk) 23:05, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] NHL Player infobox

I think you broke this. It's printing a parser function on the pages that don't have images. (→Zachary) 23:23, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 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)

[edit] RE: Oilers Ownership

I have to disagree. Katz has the power to make all decisions now. Katz is the informal owner. Thing is, being from Calgary, I'm inclined to think you would be laughing your ass off if it was declined. But back on topic. For all intents and purposes, Katz is the owner of the Edmonton Oilers. Cheers. Killswitch Engage (talk) 06:25, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

The thing is, it's guaren-damn-teed to happen. I'm totally against it, but I have to live the fact that Katz is the new owner. He's already being referred to as such, and from my readings, has already been maing some decisions. Cheers. Killswitch Engage (talk) 06:37, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Please unclose the Muhammad (no images) AfD - look, I love pointless drama and escalating conflicts as much as the next guy, but this isn't the time for it. This is a GD important issue and time needs to be taken to talk it over, even if the outcome is likely. Process is important in this case.WilyD 16:00, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

  • Err, yes, I suspect it'll delete. At the very least, a much stronger mandate coming out of the AfD would be valuable in future discussions. WilyD 16:20, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
All I see from prolonging this is making a point of counting the !deletes. I've made my own point on the AN thread, either there or VPP is where the discussion should be taking place. As I said at AN, I'm not sure people are looking at the page source and understanding the whole thing. And even (and especially) if they are, how big is a snowball once it's melted?

The correct version is {{Olympiacos squad}}; please don't just delete the deleted template. BencherliteTalk 22:51, 20 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. As I started to update the pages, I realised you were doing so too, but in another way! No worries. BencherliteTalk 22:56, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 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)

WikiProject Ice Hockey Newsletter

Dear Resolute! You are receiving as you are a member of WikiProject Ice Hockey There's been many more new things going on at WP:HOCKEY, and I think this will help you to stay informed. Since the last newsletter sent out in October, there have been many new changes. I'm hoping to make this newsletter a bit more regular; Kaiser matias and Skudrafan1 asked for a new issue a week ago, but sadly, I've been a bit lazy and committed to other things hence this other delay. --Maxim(talk)

edit  

New recognized content

Wayne Gretzky; this picture is featured

By Maxim
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:

edit  

Task forces

By Maxim

There was a new taskforce created within the WikiProject to deal with topics related to the Boston Bruins. It was originally founded as a separate WikiProject, but was quickly turned into a taskforce within WikiProject Ice Hockey. The list of participants is located here. Located at WP:BRUINS, the taskforce's goals are to make Boston Bruins and Bobby Orr featured articles. Good luck!

edit  

New Administrators

By Maxim
Since October, there have been three new admins promoted within the project:

A previously admin-only feature has been made available for all users. The rollback feature allows a user to quickly revert vandalism with one click. If you wish to have rollback, contact an active admin or post a request to WP:RFR.

edit  

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.

edit  

Notes

  • More editors are needed to help out with the newsletter. Maxim 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. Feel free to nominate features at Portal:Ice hockey/Suggestions.
  • Should Chris Pronger have been suspended for more than eight games for stomping on Ryan Kesler? Vote here!

[Moved from Userpage; posted by User:71.229.127.129] You tell me only to put facts regarding Downie so I do and you still remove it, name me 1 fight downie takes his visor off for. He is know around the NHL for keeping his helment and visor on while he swings and it should be recorded.

[edit] New policy proposal that may be of interest

I'm tapping this message out to you because you were involved at the AfDs of Eve Carson or Lauren Burk. Following both of these heated debates, a new proposal has been made for a guideline to aid these contentious debates, which can be found at WP:N/CA. There is a page for comments at Wikipedia talk:Notability (criminal acts)/Opinions should you wish to make a comment. Thanks for your time, and apologies if this was not of interest! Fritzpoll (talk) 15:50, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 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)

[edit] Carolina Hurricanes seasons

Hello. There is a debate going on with the Carolina Hurricanes seasons list about it being a WP:FLC. Since you were a major contributor to Calgary Flames seasons and an administrator, I am asking if you would contribute to the debate. It can be found here. Thanks, PGPirate 19:57, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 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]

[edit] 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)

[edit] List of Stanley Cup champions

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. At first I had removed the section, (and just added a list of winners by year) but someone objected, and I readded it. There are more details at WT:HOCKEY and I was wondering if you could shed some light. Thanks, Scorpion0422 03:07, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 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)

[edit] Thanks

Beat me to reverting it. Looks like I stumbled onto another case of that Radio Station in Detroit going nuts. -Djsasso (talk) 21:19, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] TfD nomination of Template:2008–09 Atlanta Thrashers game log

Hi Resolute. Go ahead and delete the templates. I have taken the actual game logs and put it in the articles so that there is no need to work on two pages. The only reason I did the templates is that in various basketball and baseball articles, the game logs are on a template. Maple Leaf (talk) 19:52, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Calgary Radz.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Calgary Radz.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).

Seconded. Nice topic that I would not have read about otherwise. --Laser brain (talk) 04:21, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 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)
