Some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Alan MacPherson may not be sufficiently well-known to merit articles of their own. The Wikipedia community welcomes newcomers, and encourages them to become Wikipedians. On Wikipedia, each user is entitled to a user page in which they can describe themselves, and this article's content may be incorporated into that page. However, to merit inclusion in the encyclopedia proper, a subject must be notable. We encourage you to write or improve articles on notable subjects.
Again, welcome, and I hope you have a good time editing Wikipedia. Stifle 09:08, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

Scriptless in Seattle
editHi. That's odd because you're shown in the history as the creator of the page. Nonetheless, the issue is not whether the page is clean or not - it's whether this group of people is notable enough for an entire article on Wikipedia. Check out WP:N. —Wknight94 (talk) 00:57, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
- By "members page", do you mean Scriptless In Seattle? Click here for the history of that page. Your ID is at the bottom which means you created it (unless maybe it was moved from somewhere - I forget how history is transferred in that case). It was just yesterday. Well, for your page's sake, hopefully you're right and others will choose to vote for its inclusion. Good luck. And good that you're not taking it personal - I think most have had something deleted from here at one point or another! :) —Wknight94 (talk) 01:14, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
- By the way, you should use ~~~~ at the end of typing on a talk page or AFD page. That will put your signature on what you said so people don't have to hunt through history to find who said what. Check out WP:SIG. —Wknight94 (talk) 01:16, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
NHL 2K
editThanks for the help with the article. I'd been sailing that boat alone until you added the much-needed content. Cheers. --OscarTheCattalk 23:03, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
1000 Points
editRegarding your edits on the article, List of NHL players with 1000 points, I ended up reverting them, as I have had to revert similar edits on that page from various IP addresses since the page was started (although yours was certainly the most enthusiastic version, I give you top marks for it). Now here are the problems with the edits you made.
- A) With the line that you put that says that "Statistics are current as of the 2005-06 NHL season except from 69-76, which are March 23/06"... That generally makes it much too confusing for the average reader.
- B)You had players who hadn't even reached 1000 points as numbers, so you had Doug Weight 71st and Peter Bondra 72nd etc... The list of players who have achieved 1000 points, not players who are active who are within 200-point striking distance. (You also forgot Rod Brind'Amour, who with Selanne and Leetch now reaching 1000 points is the closest to the mark). When those players are within a realistic shot of reaching 1000 points in the current season (whether that's this season, next season, or the season after), they will be put on the list, its just it doesn't merit it to put the next closest players to 1000 points.
- C) As for putting Selanne and Leetch in the next list with the rest of the 1000-point getters, is that this list also has the intention of marking the actual date of the milestone. Basically what I'm saying that is that if were another player who was within striking distance of 1000 this season, and he was put on the active players who are close section, it would appear that he is the only person to have (or will have) reached the 1000-point mark in the current season. I had a discussion with another user about putting Brind'Amour in that subsection, and I thought he should go in because he was only 89 points away at the start of the season, but we thought it better to keep him off because it is not likely as he has not scored that many points in over 10 years. So as soon as the 2005-06 season ends, Selanne and Leetch will be put along with the others, and Brind'Amour and whoever has a realistic chance of hitting it in 2006-07 will be moved into that section. Its just for continuity's sake (as the List of NHL players with 500 goals article follows the same format), and to help all the other editors who may cross this article.
I'm sorry that was long, I just wanted to make sure my point was made. If you have any questions or comments, you can leave them in my talk page. Take care. Croat Canuck 02:49, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
- Thank you for your understanding, by the way Wikipedia needs all the good hockey editors it can get so its one way of me saying welcome aboard. Just remember to use the four tildes (~~~~) to sign your name on talk pages, you just seem to have forgotten that when you posted your message on mine. Croat Canuck 21:01, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
