Yeah, I totally agree with your edits that are being reverted. Bring it up at WP:HOCKEY. I won't be around for the weekend, but you have my support. ccwaters 18:53, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Nice job!!

Yup. With all the really short stubs that come in, it's refreshing to see an article so well-thought out. Way too many of the "x is a y in z" sorts of nanostubs. - Lucky 6.9 06:36, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

Your punctuation edits
An edit you made to Pardon the Interruption happened to show up on my watchlist. Per the Manual of Style, ending punctuation (periods/commas) only go inside quotes when the quotation is a complete sentence. Note that this is not standard American English usage, so it may look wrong to some users. I was just letting you know, since you seem to be making a lot of these types of edits. It might be a good idea to change them back before they got lost in subsequent edits. --Fru1tbat 22:27, 30 November 2006 (UTC)


 * I tend to disagree, based on grammar I have learned forever that periods go inside quoatation marks, without an exception that I can think of, in American English, Apparantly, according to this discussion, my use of the period is fine, and I believe technically correct. Bmitchelf 22:41, 30 November 2006 (UTC)


 * You're right about American English usage, but the MoS makes it clear that Wikipedia doesn't adhere strictly to American English usage, and the recommended style is in fact somewhere between American and British usage. The case that you referenced on the talk page is pretty specific in its discussion of a long sentence fragment that includes the end of a sentence. In that case, I would agree with you that the period belongs inside the quotation marks. However, the uses I'm talking about (e.g. the ones you changed in the Pardon the Interruption article ) are unrelated to that discussion. For instance: "Reali referred to it as a 'squadoozle.'" A very short quote like that clearly falls under the standard guideline on the main page. --Fru1tbat 23:04, 30 November 2006 (UTC)


 * And I would still rather stick to what I have learned, being that I am editing things in the United States. It just seems one way is correct based on "Wikipedia", and one way is correct based on "English." Bmitchelf 01:01, 1 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Personal preference is ok, except when it goes against established guidelines. The idea is to have a somewhat consistent style for the entire encyclopedia. Also, remember that this is the English language encyclopedia, not the American encyclopedia. As I'm sure you know, some leeway is allowed, for instance, articles about British subjects usually favor British spellings, and articles about American subjects usually favor American spellings. But punctuation is something that is supposed to be standardized throughout. The guidelines are there for a reason, and you'll probably run into less resistance if you choose to accept them. We all make sacrifices to be part of the community here. --Fru1tbat 04:32, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Schedule edits
My first thought is that if we were a bit more generic with the dates (i.e., "early January" as opposed to citing specific dates) that it would pass muster. The reason I'm so married to making these changes is that there was the AfD vote for the station listings for each of the networks last month. I'm concerned that if these entries remain very specific, the hard-lined folks who are looking for an opportunity to yank stuff will use WP:NOT to justify doing just that. But if we remain more general (and certainly linking to Futon Critic, Broadcasting|Cable, MultiChannel News or wherever else we find the info on the web), it'll keep the hardliners at bay. --Mhking 01:41, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Jim Rome Is Burning
ESPN may call it "Jim Rome is Burning", however there are guidelines that Wikipedia follows, which includes all verbs being capitalized in titles. I'm moving it back to Jim Rome Is Burning. Evan Reyes 22:02, 10 February 2007 (UTC)


 * I can't find the specific WP rule right now, but it is supposed to go by its common or official name when possible, which has the lowercase "i", so I had to move it back. It seems many of your moves are controversial, so it is not wise to make rash moves. bmitchelf•T•F 22:40, 10 February 2007 (UTC)


 * From WP:NC:


 * "In general, titles of books, films, and other works are also capitalized, except for articles (a, and, the) and prepositions and conjunctions shorter than five letters (e.g., to, from, and). Examples: A New Kind of Science, Ghost in the Shell, To Be or Not to Be.


 * Because credibility is a primary objective in the creation of any reference work, and because Wikipedia strives to become a leading (if not the) leading reference work in its genre, formality and an adherence to conventions widely used in the genre are critically important to credibility."


 * "Is" is neither and article, preposition, nor conjunction. Just because ESPN renders the title of the show with a lowercase "i" does not mean that Wikipedia should as well. Being a sports network, it's highly doubtful ESPN is concerned with issues such as naming conventions and manuals of style. However, Wikipedia is, and therefore the correct title of the article is "Jim Rome Is Burning". Many articles possessing the seemingly "official" rendering have been overturned on Wikipedia. This is not the first, nor will it be the last. Evan Reyes 01:21, 11 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Therefore, I'm going to move the page back to "Is". Evan Reyes 20:27, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Additionally, WP:MOS (trademarks) clearly states, "Follow standard English text formatting and capitalization rules even if the trademark owner encourages special treatment". "Jim Rome Is Burning" it is. Evan Reyes 22:19, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

New York Rangers
The 'restrictive guideline' at WikiProject Ice Hockey/Team pages format, has been removed (backed by consensus). All 30 NHL team pages' HHOF section may allow ALL HHOFers. Therefore 'Terry Sawchuck' is included in the Rangers HHOF section. See, WPTT for consensus. There's been past arguments about the HHOF section (who belongs, who doesn't). GoodDay 00:22, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
 * It easier 'not' to wiki-link 'interim' alternate captains (like Nylander). 1)it cuts down on adding & removing wiki-links (according to players injury status) & 2)it helps distinguish 'filling-in' alternates from the regular alternates. GoodDay 19:24, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I see what you mean, but it's not that big of a deal, man. There should be an easier way to sort it out. bmitchelf•T•F 19:26, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
 * If we wiki-link Nylander (NYR), Axelsson & Savard (Bos) and Liehtenen (Dal) 'A's? less familiar readers may mistaken the teams as having more 'alternates' then they really have. The only other solution would be to 'not' add the 'A's to interim alternates (that could be difficult as editors have gotten used to adding them, particularly anon IP adresses). GoodDay 19:50, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Do as you like, I won't fuss about it (anymore). GoodDay 20:42, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Nah, I understand where you're coming from. It just looks strange unlinked, and someone probably will link it again. bmitchelf•T•F 21:06, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Hartnell's number
Do you have a source saying Hartnell's number will be 19? --Sparkhurst 04:53, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Hartnell's Yahoo sports profile has him listed as #19. The reason I didn't put Lupul at 15 is because Ruzicka wore it last season. bmitchelf•T•F</b> 06:26, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Hartnell is being listed as #19 on the Flyers website now. Good call on that. --Sparkhurst 16:51, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah, usually when Yahoo takes the time to change something, they have it right. Like they still have Scott Gomez at #23. <b style="color:#FF4500;">bmitchelf</b>•T•<b style="color:#FF0000;">F</b> 23:00, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Around the Horn
You made a statement: "(rv - how is that original research, it's not a score)". I'm sorry I said score. I was really thinking about something else when I was typing or something. I meant to say numbers or something. I think to add the numbers every day is original research. There is no source for the numbers outside of 1,000, so adding numbers every day would be un-verifiable and inaccurate. Also, it is tedious to keep updating the numbers every day because a simple "1000+" note can remain there. I appologize of the wording once again, don't know what I was thinking, but I still feel strongly that updating the numbers every day has a chance to be inaccurate. What if they get off a day? Please respond here, thank you for your time.++ aviper2k7 ++ 22:58, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
 * After they say it's 1,000, you just add the shows every day that it is on; I'm sure somebody will be watching. Plus, there is the Yahoo group, so if you miss a show, it verifies there that it was on that day. Other weekdaily shows like talk shows and soap operas are updated every day, as well, and in those cases it is harder because they show reruns, while Around the Horn does not. It's like saying The Simpsons shouldn't have an episode count updated because the only way to know what episode they are on is to look online, especially since FOX doesn't tell the truth about their episode count. Anyway, if you really go by the letter of the rule, practically everything on Wikipedia could be orginal research, if it doesn't have a reference. <b style="color:#FF4500;">bmitchelf</b>•T•<b style="color:#FF0000;">F</b> 17:41, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia: WikiProject Ice Hockey
I wonder (sometimes). If the 30 NHL official websites used diacritics, and I argued against it? What do you think would happen to me 'by now'? Would Djsasso demand compliance with the websites? Guess, we'll never know. I'm not angry with Dj, just bewildered (he's indirect suggestion, that I'm a control freak - really hurt.)GoodDay 21:21, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
 * All I can say is that your suggestion makes sense; for some reason he took action to revert everything back, which is confusing. <b style="color:#FF4500;">bmitchelf</b>•T•<b style="color:#FF0000;">F</b> 21:26, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I've reverted his 'reversion' on the WikiProject pages (in a desperate hope, of reaching him). However, that'll be my 'last' reversion, I don't want a Djsasso VS GoodDay situation. GoodDay 21:42, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
 * As you probably know; for the sake of the 30 NHL team pages (and my blood pressure), I've ended my part in the discussion at WikiProject Ice Hockey. There was no 'consensus' to hide those diacritics and also (though not mentioned) no 'consensus' to show them. It's so frustrating, I had a goal (no hockey pun, intended) to keep all dios off of the NHL team pages and keep all dios on IIHF team pages (along with respective related pages). I was about 99% there (so close). GoodDay 23:54, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, you tried. I'm glad it ended without too much acrimony. The reason I was confused about what you were saying is because of your liberal use of quotation marks, which looks like sarcasm or allusion. <b style="color:#FF4500;">bmitchelf</b>•T•<b style="color:#FF0000;">F</b> 19:29, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Re: Ellen
Hiya,

WP:DIRECTORY states that Wikipedia is not an electronic program guide. This means that articles cannot list current schedules/listings. The Ellen article is about the show. The article may include broadcast history, but it cannot say "Ellen can currently be seen here, here, and here. There is extensive precedent for this on Wikipedia.  See Articles for deletion/List of The Closer broadcasters, Articles for deletion/International broadcasters for 24 (TV series), and Articles for deletion/List of Smallville broadcasters and home video releases for individual broadcaster article debates.  See Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Television/Archive 6 for discussion about removing broadcasters from existing articles.  Thanks.  --  Wikipedical 03:14, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

New York Islanders seasons
Hello. Wondering about your recent edit to New York Islanders seasons. How do you figure the team is 17-17 in playoff series when they won 19 in a row (NHL record) during the 1980s? By my count the team is 30-17. Maybe I misunderstand what we're totalling... EnjoysButter (talk) 05:59, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Sorry about that; I obviously miscounted for some strange reason. I've changed it back, though you could have if you wanted to. I'm not quite sure what I was doing there. <b style="color:#FF4500;">bmitchelf</b>•T•<b style="color:#FF0000;">F</b> 22:33, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
 * No worries. That page needs re-working since some of the other numbers are wrong as well.  I am reviewing the totals  for the Islanders' media guide so I figure while I'm at it I'll straighten the Wikipedia page too... EnjoysButter (talk) 00:53, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

AMP Energy NHL Winter Classic
Thanks a zillion for all your work recently on this article. I was planning on expanding it greatly after the event took place, and I was quite pleased to find that it had already been done by the time I logged on to do it! I brought Resolute in to take a look at the article because I think it is coming together very nicely and it has potential to be a Good Article. He has had plenty of experience working articles up to that level and getting them to GA status, so he knows what is expected of an article up for promotion. I will be posting a general message to WP:HOCKEY asking anyone else interested in helping the article get to GA for their input.

Anyway, thanks once again. Excellent work! :) Skudrafan1 (talk) 04:16, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for taking up the task of pumping this article up and getting it closer and closer to potential GA status.

Replaceable fair use Image:Winter Classic rendering.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Winter Classic rendering.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the media description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link].

Thanks for telling me. I think it's pretty straight forward. Basically, I'm not just making the picture public domain. It's my right as the photographer to specify under what conditions the photo can be used. That license gives me the right to say the photo can only be used if it is attributed to me in the manner I specify.► Chris Nelson Holla! 03:56, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Hmm, that's just weird to me, but I understand now. Sorry for the disruption. -- <b style="color:#FF4500;">bmitchelf</b>•T•<b style="color:#FF0000;">F</b> 03:58, 6 May 2008 (UTC)


 * It's really no different than a watermark, I'd say.► Chris Nelson Holla! 04:00, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

NYC Meetup: June 1, 2008
In the afternoon, we will hold a session dedicated to meta:Wikimedia New York City activities, elect a board of directors, and hold salon-style group discussions on Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia projects (see the last meeting's minutes).

We'll also review our recent Wikipedia Takes Manhattan event, and make preparations for our exciting successor Wiki Week bonanza, being planned with Columbia University students for September or October.

In the evening, we'll share dinner and chat at a local restaurant, and (weather permitting) hold a late-night astronomy event at Columbia's telescopes.

You can add or remove your name from the New York City Meetups invite list at Meetup/NYC/Invite list.

Also, check out our regional US Wikimedia chapters blog Wiki Northeast (and we're open to guest posts). This has been an automated delivery by BrownBot (talk) 23:26, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
