[edit] 2006-07 Buffalo Sabres season

Thank you for your updates to 2006-07 Buffalo Sabres season. However, if you look at the season articles for the other teams in the NHL, you will see a specific format is being used. Green is the colour in the game log for a win for every team. In addition, only the top five scorers are shown: this is for ease in editing; do you really want to edit the stats of every player after every game? At the end of the season, when all statistics are finalized, we can make the stats list complete.

If you are interested in proposing reasons for why the major changes you made to the format of the article should be made, please propose them on the either the article's talk page or on the talk page for WikiProject Ice Hockey. For the time being, I am going to revert your edits to the original format of the page.

Thanks for your interest in the article and in the project. Skudrafan1 14:42, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for understanding. You obviously put a lot of work into the edits you made to the article; I hope you continue to update the article as per the current format, as well as working on keeping some of the other NHL team season articles updated. I've been trying to keep up on the Eastern Conference team articles (the Islanders, the Penguins, the Senators and the Hurricanes, as well as the Sabres), as well as the 2006-07 St. Louis Blues season, since I created most of those articles. Many teams still need articles, and the articles which already exist need to be constantly updated. Like I said, I hope you are willing to join the effort. Skudrafan1 00:11, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
Great job on the 2006-07 Atlanta Thrashers season and 2006-07 Montreal Canadiens season articles! It's good to have someone else on board to work on keeping these Season-by-Team articles complete and updated! Keep up the good work! Skudrafan1 15:55, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Daniel Brière

Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia by updating the statistics in the Daniel Brière article. Unfortunately your recent edit(s) has been reverted. This is because the guidelines from the WikiProject on Ice Hockey states that season statistics may only be updated when the season has ended. This is for maintaining a high standard and accuracy on all hockey players articles on Wikipedia. We understand that your edit was in good faith and hope that you understand our objectives. If you have any questions, please visit us at the WikiProject on Ice Hockey's talk page. Krm500 15:23, 3 January 2007 (UTC) --Krm500 15:23, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi! I see that you have done many good and important edits to various hockey related bios. And you have probably seen that I have done some edits to your edits. And I just want to explain my edits to you. The members of the Wikipedia:WikiProject Ice Hockey has agreed that all stats table on all hockey players articles should only be updated after the season has ended. This becasue much of our time has gone wasted to reverting inaccurate stats due to mid season updates. Now, I don't think that yoy have made any inaccurate contributions but it is important that this policy applies to all players. I hope you understand the objectives from the project and that you'll continue to contribute to hockey realated articles in the future. --Krm500 17:06, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Team Articles

Hello. You don't know me, but I am one of the workers on the season team articles for NHL. I have seen your work on the Thrashers and Canadiens articles, as well as the Sabres article, and I would like to commend you for all of your hard work. We're all glad to have you on board and hopefully all of us can get all 30 teams up. Again, good job for all your hard work recently and keep up the hard work. Ksy92003 00:27, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 2006-07 New Jersey Devils season up for deletion!

Well, this is not good. Someone has nominated 2006-07 New Jersey Devils season, which I created last night, for deletion: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2006-07 New Jersey Devils season. If this article goes, obviously all the rest of our work is going to go up in flames as well. You need to voice your well thought-out opinion on the AFD page, because I'd hate to see all this work we've done simply disappear. Skudrafan1 16:42, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 2005-06 Buffalo Sabres season

I just thought I'd let you know that I have finished creating the bare-bones version of the 2005-06 Buffalo Sabres season page. If you have the time, feel free to check it out and contribute anything you can. Thanks! Skudrafan1 18:37, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 2006-07 Boston Bruins season up for deletion

Unfortunately, the page that you created, 2006-07 Boston Bruins season, is now put up for deletion. That page does not deserve it's own individual page because there have been no signifigant events that occurred during the season to deserve it's own individual page. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact me via my talk page. Redsox04 22:07, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Article Improvement

By Maxim

Upon some discussion on the WikiProject talk page, the Article Improvement Drive page was revamped by Krm500 and Maxim. It was renamed Wikipedia:WikiProject Ice Hockey/Article Improvement, and it includes two section. The first section is called articles in dire need of improvement. It list articles, usually important, that are in very poor shape. The second section is called requested help. Users list an article they request help improving a certain article, which will facilitate collaboration, which is the aim of any WikiProject. There is one article currently listed there, Henrik Lundqvist, here. The goal is to at least get it to Good article status.

Diacritics

By Maxim

In the past few weeks, there has been quite heated discussion about the use of diacritics in article name. The current guideline is using diacritics in the pages of articles of all player names which require them, but redirects are exempt.

Task forces

By Maxim
There have been two new task forces started within the WikiProject to coordinate major topics.

Sweden Ice Hockey task force

This task force was initiated by Krm500. Its current goal is to improve Henrik Lundqvist to Good or Featured article status. It covers all Swedish clubs, leagues and competitions and associated articles, players and coaches that are Swedish, or have played/coached for a Swedish club, and arenas in Sweden. They plan to eventually operate as a sort of a sub-project, which will have its own articles for creation, ranking importance and quality of articles, and co-ordinate article improvement. Its current members are Krm500, Bamsefar75, and CLAES.

New Jersey Devils task force

This task force was initiated by Bsroiaadn. Its goal is to improve New Jersey Devils to Featured Topic status. Although it currently meets the required article count, the task force wishes to improve it further. Its area of coverage is very similar to the Sweden Ice Hockey task force. Its members are Bsroiaadn, JHMM13, FutureNJGov, Sportskido8, Michael Greiner, JRWalko, and Soxrock.

Requested Images

By Maxim
After discussion on the WikiProject talk page, Serte created a page for Requested Images. The page encourages users to license images for use on articles. The page also has section to request images for players, arenas, game situations, miscellaneous, and team and league logos. The page has been quite popular; since it was created on July 21, there have been six completed requests. There are four currently outstanding requests:

Article assessement completed

By Maxim
On July 12, Kaiser matias announced that he had completed assessing all the articles with a {{ice hockey}} tag, sorting them into Category:Unassessed Ice Hockey articles. Kaiser matias has ranked about 9000 articles in that category, and most were stubs, and "have no information at all", according to him. Everybody is encouraged to expand the stubs into real articles. This effort took around 5 months. A big thanks goes to Kaiser matias from me and all the project.

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:

  1. Featured article Hart Memorial Trophy (Scorpion)
  2. Featured article James Norris Memorial Trophy (Scorpion)
  3. Featured article Vezina Trophy (Scorpion)
  4. Featured article Conn Smythe Trophy (Serte)
  5. Featured article Frank J. Selke Trophy (FutureNJGov)
  6. Featured article Lady Byng Memorial Trophy (Scorpion)
  7. Featured article Lester B. Pearson Award (Scorpion)
  8. Featured article Calder Memorial Trophy (Croat Canuck)
  9. Featured article Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy (Maxim)
  10. Featured article King Clancy Memorial Trophy (Maxim)
  11. Featured article Jack Adams Award (Maxim)
  12. Featured article Presidents' Trophy (Scorpion)
  13. Good article Stanley Cup (Earlier collaboration, very many involved)
  14. Good article Traditions and anecdotes associated with the Stanley Cup (Maxim)

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.
