Thanks for your help! The page looks a lot better now. I'd like to see all NHL team articles at GA status or above eventually!! :) One step at a time, though... Macduffman (talk) 18:55, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I've been trying to add references to the Rangers article, but it's tough for their history because it's longer and has references from books. If you get a chance to repay the favor and look at the article, that would be great. -- bmitchelf•T•F 19:04, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I can get some news articles for right now, at least. Macduffman (talk) 15:28, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

City, State/Provence Together, Please!
Would you please stop making sepetare links for a city and styate/provence in the 2009 Winter Classic item, please? When listing a location, I think it's much better if the city and state/provence are linked as one, not as seperate entities. It saves bandwith for future use. So, I ask you, please do not do this again in any story, or you will be warned. NoseNuggets (talk) 10:42 AM US EDT July 7 2008
 * Well, in this case, the Chicago article is just the city name, so it avoids a redirect. I'll change it back when I get another chance to edit the Winter Classic article, so as not to waste an edit. In fact, it seems like it is better to have the city and state linked separately because there is a template just for that, (which I don't use). Personally, I link them together when it is in the prose of the article, except in cases like this, and separately when it is in an infobox or table, since those have no particular flow. -- bmitchelf•T•F 14:49, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
 * You were actually in the right on this, city and state are supposed to be linked separately in the first instance of an article. The infobox need not have them linked separately but the lead of the article does. -Djsasso (talk) 03:15, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Cool, I didn't know that; thanks for the update. -- bmitchelf•T•F 14:24, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

August 2008
Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from. When removing text, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the text has been restored, as you can see from the page history. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. (Planecrash111 (talk) 04:19, 9 August 2008 (UTC))
 * Thanks for that, but I know what I'm doing. The "wins" section was a bone of contention before and was removed because it can't be reasonably cited. Next time, please say what article you are talking about so somebody doesn't have to go searching around for it. -- <b style="color:#FF4500;">bmitchelf</b>•T•<b style="color:#FF0000;">F</b> 06:06, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

Regarding your edits, please see MOS:UNLINKYEARS. Also, Major League should not be hyphenated and capitalized together because it should be formatted the same way as the name of the organization. Thank you. KV5 •  Squawk box  •  Fight on!  02:45, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

WHEN The hunt will take place Saturday, September 27th from 1:00pm to 6:30pm, followed by prizes and celebration.

WHO All Wikipedians and non-Wikipedians are invited to participate in team of up to three (no special knowledge is required at all, just a digital camera and a love of the city). Bring a friend (or two)!

REGISTER The proper place to register your team is here. It's also perfectly possible to register on the day of when you get there, but it will be slightly easier for us if you register beforehand.

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

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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 10:47, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Running gags on Pardon the Interruption
An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Running gags on Pardon the Interruption. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Articles for deletion/Running gags on Pardon the Interruption. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes ( ~ ).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:14, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

 * Blame Lou for the low numbers. He believes that sweater numbers should be between 1 and 31 (actually 32). That players with high numbers are seeking individual status instead of team status. I believe Alexander Mogilny's 89 was the only exception to his rule. I guess it's a good thing he wasn't working in Montreal!! Raul17 (talk) 23:55, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

Reviewer
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

For the guideline on reviewing, see Reviewing. Being granted reviewer rights doesn't change how you can edit articles even with pending changes. The general help page on pending changes can be found here, and the general policy for the trial can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Tiptoety talk 15:10, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

Nomination of Cliff Hangers for deletion
