Talk:Alex Auld

Comment by Marcus1060
It is my opinion that Alexander Auld is a more stable goaltender than Dan Cloutier, He is steady in the net and does not panic when pressure is on him. I feel it won't be long before he becomes the Canucks' #1 goaltender.

Auld has a great ability to shake off goals, and to keep playing his game. I too feel it won't be long before he becomes the Canucks' number one aswell. I think it is interesting that we pay our backup (Oullet, $877,800.00) more then Auld who only gets $513,000.00. Marcus1060 04:35, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

I'm not denying the fact that Alexander Auld is a great goaltender, and The Canucks are lucky to have a dependable backup goalie, but despite everything else Cloutier is statistically a better goalie than Auld, and I don't think that Auld will become The Canuck's #1.

Cold Lake, Alberta vs Thunder Bay, Ontario
What's with the differing place of Birth? Primary sources :NHL.com lists Cold Lake, nhlpa.com lists Thunder Bay. ccwaters 00:40, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

I pretty sure he's from thunderbay. I've heard it mentioned several times during games.

He was BORN in Cold Lake, and then moved to Thunder Bay when he was about 6 months old. Some of the confusion may come from his origin being listed as Thunder Bay, but that doesn't necessarily mean that he was born there, just raised there for most of his life and his stage point from where he was recruited.--198.161.102.118 00:09, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

Well if he was born in Cold Lake, it should say born in Cold Lake. Marcus1060 23:50, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

That would have been dandy enough for me, but any links that I could find saying so were counterbalanced from other sites (NHL.com, Canucks.com). Since I live in Cold Lake, though, I know he's from Cold Lake; word of mouth is strong enough around here, but that doesn't go a long way for evidence on wikipedia.--198.161.102.118 05:49, 21 March 2006 (UTC)


 * I have no doubt he was born in Cold Lake, AB. He was raised in Thunder Bay, ON, hence the confusion, but it's not as though several different sources would have simply made up another birthplace. Whereas the fact that he grew up in Thunder Bay could lead to the misapprehension that he was born there. Not vice versa. J21 22:34, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

GA?
My problem with the application for a good article is that it's definitely not ready. Most notably, there's no real lead, no images, and not that many references. You said you just wanted to see what needs improving, and with that statement you're more than welcome to request a peer review to find out what needs improving. It's not a GA yet certainly, but over time it could be. Not trying to bite with the quick fail, just thought you shoudl do a peer review first. -- Wizardman 20:34, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Fair enough. I'm not that familiar with WikiBiography's project standards yet; although I'm not sure that the references are terribly lacking, given that most of this info is available online at the external links section, anything that isn't common knowledge is referenced. Otherp oints are taken under advisement. Thanks. --Scimitar 20:41, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
 * The references you have in place are good, and the total's not too bad. I'm just saying that most users like to see a LOT of them for GA to FA status. I thought they were good personally, but I can only speak for myself and I'm sure many would disagree, hence the addition. -- Wizardman 00:20, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Removed edits
I recently added a photo *I TOOK PERSONALLY* of Alex Auld dealing black jack cards for charity, along with a link to the article *I WROTE PERSONALLY* on the website *I OWN PERSONALLY* and yet it was removed because of suspect copy-right? Do you editors not bother to look into it before removing them? --PixelSyndicate 13:29, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
 * The photo is suspect because you don't use a real name, and often new accounts upload pictures they claim are theirs which are infact not theirs. This is the reasoning behind atleast the picture. For why the writing was removed, it was because it was not a notable aspect of his life, you have to think of it from the perspective of a historian looking back at this article in 50 years. Of his entire hockey playing career, is the fact that he dealt cards at a charity event one year going to matter to someone researching him? And the answer is quite clearly no it would not. -DJSasso (talk) 13:52, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
