More hockey stats

Hello Mark! You helped me out last time in my quest for stats from many years ago in the NHL and I was wondering if you can help me out again for the 1950-51 NHL season. Google has failed me again and so have a few other sites I use regularly. First, I need help finding the rest of the stats for a goaltender named Al Rollins (minutes played, goals against (not average), and shut outs). Secondly, (i Know I am asking a lot) the playoff matchups between the Bruins vs. Leafs and Canadiens vs. Red Wings. All the tables are built, it is just a matter of pluggin in information, which I can't find. I would keep looking on the net (I assume that if I keep on looking, I will find the right info eventually), but I have to go to work now and don't have time. Thanks! Masterhatch 26 August 2005

I found Al Rollins' regular season stats, but I don't have any information on the playoffs. --93JC 18:47, August 27, 2005 (UTC)

Intresting Ayyavazhi Family

Hai Mark, there are intresting articles about Ayyavazhi, a new religion on both mythology and religiosity. Wikipedia is rich with this topic in English, but poor in other languages. Since french is a leading language in Wikipedia it is better to translate the contents on this AYYAVAZHI family to french. - Paul Raj

Dodge Spirit replacement

Alright, I did my research, and it turns out the Spirit was the designated replacement for the Aries, while the Shadow was made to replace the Omni. If you don't believe me, check out these links...

Excuse me...

Why are you reverting my changes to the list of Chrysler platforms? The term "sport compact" is widely accepted by many auto enthusiasts, and a search for the term on Google turns up 5,510,000 hits! I'd like to know why you object to me using that term. --ApolloBoy 01:38, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

It's widely accepted by the pubescent ricers who use the term. No one, and I mean no one else uses the term. Except as a pejorative.

Beyond that it is, above all, ambiguous. There is no clear, concise definition. Even the "sport compact" article itself begins with a section entitled "Classification & debate". Coupé on the other hand begins with this:

"A coupé (from the French for "cut") or coupe is a car with a close-coupled interior offering either two seats or 2+2 seating."

Fits Talon/Laser and Daytona/Laser to a tee. That's why I keep changing it back. --93JC 04:35, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

And if you take a table like that, what as wrong with the AMC specifcations( otherthan it

I've been watching 216.20.113.244 and 24.63.10.62 like a hawk, reverting any vandalism they'd performed (mostly changing table heading colours in automotive articles, as you've undoubtedly noticed). I guess Mr. 216.20.113.244 noticed you had been changing them back too, and decided it would be funny to make stupid, vandalistic edits to your user page.--93JC 22:07, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

Eagle Premier automotive flops

Please don't just delete this. It's not POV, it is quite verifiable from the other WP Pages. Please edit as you see fit, but the Premier was the most important Eagle car, and also the most important for Chrysler. I'll be looking for your version of this edit.

"At enormous expense, a new design and state of the art plant for created for the Eagle Premier which was far more advanced than K-car or Taurus derivatives, which unfortunatlely Americans preferred to continue to buy droves. The plans and factory would however be Chrysler's starting point for the highly successful LH sedans."

--matador300 19:31, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Please... "far more advanced than K-car or Taurus derivatives, which unfortunately Americans preferred to continue to buy in droves" is blatant POV. I have no idea why you're on this great crusade to make the Premier out to be the automotive messiah, but frankly I think everyone at the Automobiles Wikiproject is getting tired of it. Your wildly speculative assertions have no place here. You want to rant and rave about how great the Premier and AMC were, and how the Matador is a direct predecessor to the current Chrysler 300 and Dodge Charger/Magnum, fine: start a blog. Or join an automotive forum. Until you start substantiating your heretofore dubious (dare I say bogus) claims take it somewhere else. --93JC 20:20, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

The premier article pretty much verifies the claim that the Premier is the basis for the LH. If you can't state how removing this statement improves the article, then you are vandalizing by removing valid content. Your claim of POV is wrong, it's exactly why the premier failed, nobody cared, they kept buying more primitive cars. Now please leave the poor Premier alone. --matador300 20:58, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

You edited the Premier article, jackass. God you're full of shit... --93JC 03:55, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

The article is also correct, and I'm full of facts, and your full of something else.--matador300 06:05, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

If you're so full of facts how about you show a shred of proof? Back up your facts by citing them. --93JC 16:06, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

Speaking of facts, I didn't write this article:

Brampton Assembly From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search Brampton Assembly is a DaimlerChrysler automobile factory in Brampton, Ontario, Canada. The factory was opened by American Motors in 1986 as Bramalea Assembly, a state-of-the-art facility specifically designed to produce the Eagle Premier. It was acquired (along with the rest of AMC) by Chrysler in August 1987. Production of the Chrysler LH platform cars began in June 1992 and continued with the updated LH cars in 1997. Production switched to the rear-wheel drive Chrysler LX platform cars in January 2004.

The nearby Brampton Satellite Stamping plant opened in 1991.

[edit] Products 1988-1992 Eagle Premier 1990-1992 Dodge Monaco 1993-2004 Chrysler Concorde 1993-2004 Dodge Intrepid 1993-1997 Eagle Vision 1994-2001 Chrysler LHS 1994-1996 Chrysler New Yorker 1999-2004 Chrysler 300M 2005-present Chrysler 300 2005-present Dodge Magnum 2006-present Dodge Charger [edit] AMC

AMC collectibles

So what's the REAL problem with that page? Somehow I don't think your edits were truly made in good faith. You realize that edits not made in good faith are in ... bad faith, right?? But in my short experience with WPers, it seems there's an awful lot of that going around and it's pretty much tolerated. --matador300 06:05, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

The "REAL" problem with that page is spelled out in the deletion notice at the top of the page: the subject does not merit having an article in Wikipedia. What is particularly notable about AMC collectibles? Over any other car collectibles? Jack squat, therefore it should be deleted. --93JC 15:49, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

Sir, I suspect you harbor ill will towards my self and my contributions. Toy collecting is something that I do, and I take offence if you imply that the Hot Wheels Openfire is somehow less deserving of an article than the original AMC Gremlin. Do you also advocate deleting all articles about toys, and that Congress ban the publication of books and magazine on toy collecting? Do you have any expertise, knowledge, or credentials with regard to toy collecting? I suspect you do not own even one toy car, if you do please correct my impression. Please take your knocking down of other people's sandcastles elsewhere where you are better appreciated, and not causing hard feelings. --matador300 20:07, 9 July 2006 (UTC).

Who cares if 93JC doesn't have any "credentials" in the way of toy collecting (do they even exist?), what matters is that you don't seem to understand the concept of notability. Read this policy, and you'll soon see what we're getting at. Also, nobody has "sandcastles" at Wikipedia, because nobody owns an article, even ones that you created. Now stop trying to portray us as antagonists and understand Wikipedia policies throughly. --ApolloBoy 20:27, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

I used to have hundreds of toy cars. What that has to do with the matter at hand is completely beyond me. Read Wikipedia:Notability. Then read Wikipedia:Notability again. And again, if you still haven't gotten the point: AMC TOYS ARE NOT NOTABLE. You want to write an article about toy cars? Fine, make one about ALL CARS, not just AMC cars. No one gives a shit about AMC toys, specifically. --93JC 22:33, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

"No one gives a shit about AMC toys, specifically". Actually, that is a verifiably false statement. You just made that up without thinking, didn't you? I am living proof of the existence of somebody who cares about AMC cars because that is a specialty field of mine, and for example, I can tell you that nobody ever made a toy of an ambassador. By the way, by using the word "shit" in a disrespectful manner, you are violating civility rules I believe, which leads me to believe your actions may not be in good faith, and deleting content not in good faith is vandalism.

Nothing in the passage you pointed me to bans the creation of a page that maps real cars to their replicas. The fact that classic auto magazines specifically mention certain models of replicas means that they are verifiable not only from their existence on web page listings, but also in printed magazines.

There is an article on Hot Wheels, and one on Matchbox. Why is the existence of a Hot Wheels Packin Pacer any less notable than a full size Pack Pacer? Where is the rule that a full size car merits a note, but a toy that fetches $5,000 on ebay is not worth noting?

I am sorry to say that unless I see a change in attitude, I must categorize both 93JC and Apolloboy as "bad guys" and I must treat you accordingly. --matador300 07:29, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

I'm quaking in my boots. Let's set things straight:

1) I don't censor my comments for the protection of your virgin ears. Shit piss fuck cunt cocksucker motherfucker tits.

2) You're treading a few wikipedia rules yourself.

A peace offering: you write your car toy articles. If you can make them expansive, depthful articles I'll leave them alone. If they all turn out to be short lists they'll probably end up deleted anyway. By the same token, I expect you to learn to articulate your thoughts without being blatantly biased ("[The Eagle Premier was] far more advanced than K-car or Taurus derivatives, which unfortunately Americans preferred to continue to buy in droves" for example is POV. Remove 'unfortunately', as it is blatantly biased to the Premier, and 'far more advanced', as it is speculative and subjective, and you might have a NPOV phrase).

Fair? --93JC 17:39, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

"I must categorize both 93JC and Apolloboy as "bad guys" and I must treat you accordingly."

That IS NOT the way to behave on Wikipedia. If you get to the point where you categorize people as "bad guys", maybe you should relax and take a break. It does a body good... --ApolloBoy 18:10, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Oh yeah? Well heck geez darn it all tarnation to you all too. The bit about far more advanced was written by persons other than me (even though the Premier is one of the few cars even more obscure than the matador, it too eviddently as a fan base). I will try to reference articles to actual mentions in collecting books and magazines if it helps. A non-notable topic does not draw editors, so it says, so could you pleeez just give it a chance. There are certainly many mor popular cars that don't have collectible articles yet, so whether or not nobody gives a flying fart about AMC should not be a determining measure of "of note". Plus I hope the car article people don't start exercising their clout over the poor little worthless toy car pages. --matador300 20:56, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Cavalier

What is your problem man? It says that Monza and Chevette covered Chevy sales until Cavalier. How does that say Cavalier does not replace Chevette? Can you even find one citation to directly support your unverifiable original research that the Chevette was not replaced by the Cavalier? What 4 door sedan or wagon did the Cavalier replace? They replaced the 5-door and 4 door chevette,that's what. I give you a citation and you invert the thesis. What car was the entry level US -built chevy?? Chevette. After Cavalir, what was US built entry level car? Cavalier. Why are you standing on this, it makes no sense, is somebody paying you to hold your unverifiable view? If people are this daft, it's no wonder I upset people. --matador300 19:35, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

That was an old comment I made a long time ago when I didn't know so much about Wikipedia and why Allpar is considered an unreliable source. --ApolloBoy 20:42, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Oh Artie...

The entry-level Chevrolet before Cavalier: Chevette.

The entry-level Chevrolet after Cavalier debuted: Chevette

The entry-level Chevrolets after 1984: Sprint & Chevette

The entry-level Chevrolet after 1987: Sprint, until the Geo nameplate came into existence

The Edmunds article states the Cavalier replaced Monza. Just Monza. Monza replaced Vega. Just Vega. The entire article is built around the Vega -> Monza -> Cavalier ->Cobalt lineage. They mention the Chevette a grand total of once, stating the Cavalier was "above the decrepit Chevette". Besides, since you're so keen on EPA size classes, look them up: Chevette was subcompact, while Cavalier was compact. --93JC 19:53, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Go look at the talk again. Six articles. Everybody but you agrees the lineage of small chevys is Corvair, Vega / Monza, Chevette, and then Cavalier, including the Edmunds article you claim proves that the hatchback/notchback/4 dr/ wagon Cavalier only replaced the coupe Monza. You do know the Monza was a Mustang II mini-pony car right? It was absolutely not a 4 door family sedan. That was the Chevette's job. Is here some other lineage I should know about? You were aware of this lineage, I hope. Or perhaps you dispute it. You can knock it off now and save yourself further humiliation, or I shall be forced to go to a real library and check out or buy a real book, and see who comes out on top. How could a car become a #1 seller in the US if it only replaced a sporty 2 door Mustang II competitor, instead of the entire Vega niche, which was mostly occupied by Chevette?? If I end up completely or mostly right, what would you do?? This is precisely how really silly information gets into WP and becomes impossible to fix because of stubborn folks like you, like the F-14 guy. --matador300 22:01, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Six "articles". Six anecdotes, one of which proves me right, one which calls them "import fighters", one which infers they were both cheap, one written by an amateur, one that infers they were outdated, and one that isn't an article at all. --93JC 23:01, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

WikiProject Ice Hockey August 2007 Newsletter

WikiProject Ice Hockey Newsletter Dear Mvolljdqw! You are receiving this newsletter because you have signed up as a member of WikiProject Ice Hockey. The purpose of this newsletter is to update on the goings on of the project, as there have been major changes, and a lot of new recognized content in the past few weeks. If you are an inactive user, you probably won't recognize the new and improved state of the WikiProject! From the project, Maxim. New recognized content By Maxim There have been a lot more Good and Featured articles written in the past few weeks. Here is a list: Featured articles Wayne Gretzky — Promoted on 2006-02-14; on Main Page on 2006-06-13 New Jersey Devils — Promoted on 2006-11-20; on Main Page on 2007-06-30 Martin Brodeur — Promoted on 2007-04-28 Fighting in ice hockey — Promoted on 2007-05-07; on Main Page on 2007-07-19 Dominik Hasek — Promoted on 2007-05-25 Good articles Calgary Hitmen Colorado Avalanche National Hockey League Joe Sakic Nottingham Panthers Stanley Cup Traditions and anecdotes associated with the Stanley Cup Ray Emery The French Connection (hockey) Featured lists List of ice hockey teams in Alberta List of ice hockey teams in Saskatchewan Frölunda HC seasons List of Colorado Avalanche players List of family relations in the National Hockey League List of New Jersey Devils players List of New Jersey Devils head coaches List of drafted Frölunda HC players Notes 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: Patrik Eliáš — Photo of player, requested by Bsroiaadn Scott Stevens — Photo of player, requested by Bsroiaadn Daniel Alfredsson — Photo of player, requested by Maxim Hart Trophy — Photo of the original Hart Trophy (retired in 1960), requested by Scorpion0422 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.

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: Hart Memorial Trophy (Scorpion) James Norris Memorial Trophy (Scorpion) Vezina Trophy (Scorpion) Conn Smythe Trophy (Serte) Frank J. Selke Trophy (FutureNJGov) Lady Byng Memorial Trophy (Scorpion) Lester B. Pearson Award (Scorpion) Calder Memorial Trophy (Croat Canuck) Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy (Maxim) King Clancy Memorial Trophy (Maxim) Jack Adams Award (Maxim) Presidents' Trophy (Scorpion) Stanley Cup (Earlier collaboration, very many involved) 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.

WikiProject Ice Hockey March 2008 Newsletter

WikiProject Ice Hockey Newsletter Dear Mvolljdqw! You are receiving as you are a member of WikiProject Ice Hockey There's been many more new things going on at WP:HOCKEY; this newsletter will be sent every two weeks/months. If you wish to not receive the newsletter, please remove your name from the newsletter mailing list. Thanks! New recognized content By The Pancake of Heaven! 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: 2016 NHL Draft has been newly created and has immediately become a GA status article. The Vancouver Canucks task force has become active again, thanks to Canuckian89! J.D. Watt has been declined at WP:AFD. Drafts related to the OHL have been published! Task forces By The Pancake of Heaven! We are working to create a new task force within the WikiProject to deal with topics related to the Pittsburgh Penguins. It hasn't been created yet; but it aims to expand articles based on former and current Pittsburgh Penguins players and articles. Good luck! New Administrators Currently 0 promoted admins! Be the first one at WP:RFA. 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. The newsletter creator 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. Should Chris Pronger have been suspended for more than eight games for stomping on Ryan Kesler? Vote here! Help Patrik Stefan -- one of the greatest NHL draft busts -- become a GA status article.

Automotive article photos

Hi, 93JC. I'm trying to move the ball forward on this topic and hold namecalling and invective to a minimum here on WPA. If you have a moment and can add your thoughts, the odds of a productive outcome would likely improve. Thanks. —Scheinwerfermann (talk) 22:35, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Seals seasons

Hello Mark. I just wanted to say that you have done some really great work on the NHL Seals seasons. I am impressed with the way you had all the trades outlined too. Nicely done Maple Leaf (talk) 00:32, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the pat on the back, it's very much appreciated. The Seals are a particularly tough team to research as they had very poor media coverage throughout their existence. The trades took a long time to compile, going through my copy of Total Hockey for the better part of a day. Hopefully I and others will get a chance to expand the content on the pages beyond the stats and trades. 93JC (talk) 01:57, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

1963 NHL Amateur Draft

As you seem to be the editor originally converting the NHL drafts to a tabled format I thought I would drop you a note. I've been cleaning up some of the NHL Draft pages and after fully converting the 1963 Amateur draft to wikitable I wanted to ask if this is the color you were going for? If so I'll continue to update the others in the series. If not please suggest a color more appropriate. Slysplace ^{talk ♫} 19:30, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

Disregard, I've changed the color to something a bit darker, Matched it to the 2008 Draft and think I'll continue on this path for consistency sake Slysplace ^{talk ♫} 23:29, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

NHL standings templates

Didn't know I was reverting, as I created most of the Template namespace standings files, mostly from NHL seasons articles. This has been discussed at WT:HOCKEY. Bolding is the convention we use. We need to follow convention more, not less. Look over the vast majority of standings and that is what is in place. As for sorting, this was discussed also. It is most useful for the goals for/against and PIM categories. No sorting on the games played. Admittedly for some of the times when divisions were small, it doesn't mean much.

The Diacritics

I'm enjoying the discussion at Wikipedia: WikiProject Ice hockey. However, I can't get too involved as my reputation is destroyed. Hopefully (someday) all dios will be eliminated. GoodDay (talk) 19:44, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

The pro-diacritics arguments are just so bafflingly obtuse it's difficult to put into words! "But, but, if you don't include the diacritics then you'll screw up the pronunciation! The diacritics make it a totally different letter! Wah wah wah!" I'm all for including the native spelling in the lead (e.g. "Sandis Ozolinsh (Latvian: Sandis Ozoliņš; pronounced /sɑːndɪs oʊzoʊlɪntʃ/; born August 3, 1972) is a Latvian ice hockey player", etc.), but to have the foreign spelling overrule the COMMONLY ACCEPTED ENGLISH SPELLING is absolutely ridiculous. As if you or I have a fucking clue to how pronounce ņ anyway! 93JC (talk) 19:59, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

Indeed. It's good to see you & others continuing the argument, as I tended to get too passionate about the topic. GoodDay (talk) 20:05, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

Djssaso stance of English version is the wrong way & insulting is as immovable as my stance of Use the English version, no exceptions. GoodDay (talk) 15:58, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
