[edit] Nice job on the Xcel Center photo

Hey, just noticed your hockey photo, thanks for adding it! It was odd that the only photo was from lacrosse, a sport that I only became aware of when I went to college (not much of that going on in SoCal). Bobak 22:43, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. True, having no ice hockey pictures for a building (mostly) dedicated to hockey was wrong. And, congrats on being the first to put something on my talk page. I was starting to feel neglected. LOL — wheresmysocks 05:20, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
No prob. Good luck with those socks! Bobak 18:50, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Minnesota

I noticed you've done a fair amount of editing to Minnesota-related articles, especially around the University of Minnesota area. If you're interested, there's a WikiProject for Minnesota, conveniently located at Wikipedia:WikiProject Minnesota. If you're interested, put your name on the list. I'm currently working on stuff like Mississippi River bridges and stuff on the National Register of Historic Places. Check it out! --Elkman - (talk) 05:18, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

Talk:World Junior Ice Hockey Championships If you're interested. Thanks.

[edit] WikiProject Ice Hockey March 2008 Newsletter

WikiProject Ice Hockey Newsletter

Dear Wheresmysocks! 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)

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:

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!

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.

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.

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!
