NHL team seasons
Hey Resolute, I just finshed 2005-06 Detroit Red Wings season and was hoping you could look at it and see if it fits with your format or the consensus reached at Wikiproject Ice Hockey. Never knew how much went into these pages! I mostly copied your Calgary Flames pages and the Buffalo Sabres pages. Let me know what you think. Thanks! -->Schmackity< 15:14, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
Royal Bank Cups
If you don't like the naming convention of the Royal Bank Cup, Centennial Cup, and World Junior A Challenge articles, feel free to move them... you have my blessing as the creator of the articles... but make sure that the current names become redirects, that is all I ask.

Deleted entry
Hello,
Recently you deleted an entry that was made.
03:21, 6 September 2007 Resolute (Talk | contribs) deleted "Notice (band)" (CSD A7 - no assertion of notability)
No assertion of importance/significance. An article about a real person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content that does not state why its subject is important or significant.
I would think that your page while interesting to you and those who check out your information is no more important and significant than someone else’s entry about a project that they were working on. I look forward to hearing your reply to this and would hope that if you didn’t think something or someone isn’t relevant you would merely move on rather than remove what they considered to be important or significant.
Thanks for your time, Bill

WOW! Take a look at this mess! I think she is borderline notable, but this needs to be cleaned up. What do you think? Flibirigit 21:25, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
Flames players
Congrats, by the way, on finishing up all of the Calgary Flames players. As hockey is gearing up, I was thinking of picking away at the list (e.g. Kevin Wortman), but you did it much faster. Good job. -- JamesTeterenko 05:00, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia:WikiProject Ice Hockey/Featured Topic Drive
Hi, I was wondering what your status was with the project. We are very close - there are only 3 unclaimed articles left - and if we all work at it, we could be ready for an FTC by November. Thanks for the time, Scorpion0422 22:47, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
- Just a quick question, I'm not very well-versed in team lineages, but I have been working on the O'Brien Trophy, and the Toronto Maple Leafs, Blue Shirts, St. Pats AND Arenas all won the Trophy, so for the Win# column, should they all be combined, or listed seperately. Thanks, Scorpion0422 19:04, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

WikiProject Ice Hockey Newsletter Dear Resolute/Archive 3! You are receiving as you are a member of WikiProject Ice Hockey There's been more new thing going on at WP:HOCKEY, and I think this will help you to stay informed. Since the last newsletter sent out in August, there's been great changes. Read on to find out! Maxim(talk) This just in:

New recognized content By Maxim Especially due to the featured topic drive, there have been many new featured lists promoted concerning NHL awards. Here's the full list of all the 13 FL's promoted since the last newsletter.[1][2]
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
...that Wally Tatomir, head equipment manager of the Carolina Hurricanes, holds four patents on ice hockey-related equipment?
...that ice hockey player Mark Major attained 355 penalty minutes during the 1997-98 AHL season for the Portland Pirates, where he averaged 4.5 penalty minutes a game and still holds the club record?
...that Garth Butcher was a member of Canada's first-ever gold medal team at the World Junior Ice Hockey Championships before becoming a pest and setting team records for penalty minutes in the National Hockey League?
..that the AMP NHL Winter Classic is scheduled to be the first regular-season outdoor National Hockey League game in the United States? edit
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:
Check the project page if you are interested in helping out. Although it's closer to being done than not, there's still work to be done. The next topic that might be tackled is Stanley Cup, but this remains purely speculative and in discussion. |

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

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:CalgaryFlames20th.PNG
Thanks for uploading Image:CalgaryFlames20th.PNG. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 03:32, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

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)

How would you suggest obtaining consensus in this case? The article's talk page is "permanently" protected, and there isn't much activity on related articles. --Coredesat 00:49, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

AMP Energy NHL Winter Classic
My baby is all grown up, and I'm thinking it has the potential to be promoted to a GA. I realize it is missing photographs (unfortunately, I was unable to attend the event to take photos myself), but other than that I think it is in good shape. Since you've had experience with getting articles to GA before, and I have not, I thought you might be willing to take a look at it and let me know what issues you think need to be addressed. Thanks!

Would you mind taking a look at a couple of articles?
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)
