Janet Jones

edit

I saw you added some allegations to Janet Jones. Could you please provide a source for these claims? Otherwise it might be seen as defamatory. Thanks! - Ta bu shi da yu 01:50, 8 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

I've added a news link to the article referring to Janet Jones and the accusations under your edit in the Janet Jones discussion page. Hopefully that'll be enough.  :)--Resident Lune 01:54, 8 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

Personal Notes to Myself

Note #1 - Remember to use the "Show preview" button. It'll save you making repeated edits and spamming up a Wiki entry's edit history.

PIM stats

edit

You can find PIM stats for the entire team on Yahoo Sports. Go into one of the team's pages, and click "Stats." At the bottom of the player stats table, there is an accumulative PIM category for the whole team. Hope that helps. --Buchanan-Hermit™..CONTRIBS..SPEAK! 06:42, 8 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

Thanks a bunch for the link. I'll save it for future use, since it'll help out a lot. :D--Resident Lune 06:47, 8 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

Implementing the new NHL team infobox

edit

Would you mind other folks placing your new infobox (which is quite an improvement over the old one, IMHO) in the other NHL team articles? I've got a San Jose Sharks version up in the Wiki sandbox ready to go, I'm just wondering if you want to do it yourself. NeoChaosX 23:06, 12 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

You're welcome. I also went on a little kick and implemented the info box in the remaining Pacific Division team articles (I still need the Kings' media affiliates, but the Stars, Ducks and Coyotes are complete). Also, have to point out that your changes to Tampa Bay Lightning appears to have been reverted. NeoChaosX 03:03, 13 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Montreal Canadians

edit

Hello! I am fixing redirects from mispellings, and came across one at your User page. Montreal Canadians should be changed to Montreal Canadiens. Could you please fix it? It is not really necessary, but Wikipedia suggest to replace misspelling wikilinks with correct ones. If you would prefer keeping the misspelled word, could you at least remove the wikilink (in example, using italics instead of a wikilink)? If you still wish to keep the misspelling, be welcomed :) Thanks for listening! -- ReyBrujo 04:41, 15 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Buckeyes information in Columbus, Ohio

I'd appreciate it if you could explain on that article's talk page why a citation is needed for the statement that the Buckeyes football team gets more attention in Columbus than any other sports team. Thanks! Postdlf 17:22, 22 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Hockey jersey images

Please see my reply here. – flamurai (t) 02:58, 29 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

The Sabres logo you have placed on their header is not the complete logo. This is only a newpaper released portion of what they believed it would appear as. While very close, the lettering is a part of the actual logo. Kal 22:30, 16 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

The Sabres logo with the lettering is located on the ice, in the arena, and is the logo presented on the main page of the website. I'd say leave it with the one I've placed until an official "nameless" version is officially released for us to place on the Wiki. That is why I placed in the Talk portion that it should be only used temporarely until a cleaner version is available for use. Kal 23:21, 16 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

Btw, you are a Sabres fan?

Orphaned fair use image (Image:DerickBrassard.gif)

edit

Thanks for uploading Image:DerickBrassard.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

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 any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Good job

edit

Just wanted to say good job on Template:NHL Team. Also, since I see you're adding season by season stats as you have a list on your userpage, I wanted to inform you that New Jersey Devils has one already, so you can put two checks by that. I'm not sure who put it, but it's there. haha. Bsroiaadn 19:15, 5 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

WikiProject Ice Hockey August 2007 Newsletter

WikiProject Ice Hockey Newsletter

Dear Resident Lune! 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:[1][2][3][4]

Featured articles
Good articles
Featured lists[5]
Notes
  1. ^ All articles are in order of promotion, as written on the main WikiProject page; FA's have official dates of promotions.
  2. ^ A star represents a featured article or list
  3. ^ A green circle represents a good article
  4. ^ Stanley Cup is an A-Class article
  5. ^ The lists system differs from articles, and doesn't give an official date of promotion
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.

WikiProject Ice Hockey Newsletter

Dear Resident Lune! 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:
Maurice 'Rocket' Richard Trophy has just been promoted to featured list status, while the bot was delivering the newsletter. Maxim(talk) 02:02, 28 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

And I've just promoted Art Ross Trophy. And Clarence S. Campbell Bowl is at FLC. This should be the last update. Maxim(talk) 00:40, 30 September 2007 (UTC)Reply
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]

  1.   Hart Memorial Trophy
  2.   James Norris Memorial Trophy
  3.   Vezina Trophy
  4.   Conn Smythe Trophy
  5.   Frank J. Selke Trophy
  6.   Lady Byng Memorial Trophy
  7.   Lester B. Pearson Award
  8.   Calder Memorial Trophy
  9.   Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy
  10.   King Clancy Memorial Trophy
  11.   Jack Adams Award
  12.   Presidents' Trophy
  13.   List of Calgary Flames players

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.

  1. ^ The last one, List of Calgary Flames players, is the only one not associated with the featured topic drive.
  2. ^ At the time of publishing, there were 5 lists at WP:FLC and 2 lists in the "Holding cell", as there's been an accepted guideline to not put more that 5 trophy lists at the same time to, "compensate for the sanity of the reviewers".
Did You Know?

By Maxim
There have been 4 new articles featured in the Did You Know section? on the Main Page since August.

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:

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

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:OhioJuniorBlueJackets.jpg

edit

Thank you for uploading Image:OhioJuniorBlueJackets.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 14:07, 8 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

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:

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!

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.
