Current events
CLAES, thank you for your efforts on supporting some Wikipedia articles.

Many articles, which correspond to current events, are being updated by users, making information in the articles valid almost all the time. And most users, visiting the articles, expect to see the information valid at this moment. I don't mean any speculative information, of course.

Could you please provide valid reasons for why articles must not be updated until the event of interest is complete? Svmich (talk) 16:15, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
 * According to the WikiProject Ice Hockey player statistics should not be updated until the season has ended. I think it should be the same with cups. Wikipedia is en encyclopaedia, not an up to date stats central, there are other better web sites for that. But I won't take this further as I don't have the energy to argue on Wikipedia, so do what you think is best. Btw, here's a tip, don't save everytime you have made a change to a an article, use the "show preview" button instead, and when you are happy with all edits hit the save button. Otherwise you'll be creating a lot of versions of the same article with small edits. --claes (talk) 18:14, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

The GMT GAMES item
Why the alteration to the GMT Games entry to remove the data about its owner, Gene Billingsley? It is completely accurate data, as can be determined by accessing the appropriate court records in California, as well as media reports there. He is, in fact, a convicted child molester who was jailed for his crime and is now back working full time at the firm. Truth is truth. So, why the removal? smn —Preceding unsigned comment added by Stephen newberg (talk • contribs)


 * No sources were cited. --claes 19:49, 12 August 2007 (UTC)


 * By that criteria, most of Wiki would be removed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Stephen newberg (talk • contribs)


 * Yes, most of Wikipedia is fairly unsourced. Many articles are scrutinized and if no sources are backing up statements they're removed, especially controversial and sensitive statements. Take a look at the article 300 (film), for example. --claes 14:23, 14 August 2007 (UTC)


 * OK, here is your cite: On September 13, 2002 the Hanford (California) Sentinel reported: "Eldon Gene Billingsley, 42, of Hanford, was sentenced to three years in state prison Monday after being charged with touching a young girl inappropriately in January at his home. This is the maximum term, District Attorney's officials said, for molestation of a child of 14 to 15 years old." (Sentencing 09-09-02; Department 2; Case #02-4216)" For further, you will have to check into the actual releasable case documents in California. smn —Preceding unsigned comment added by Stephen newberg (talk • contribs)

Sources for Fredrik Olausson
Hello. Good work on Fredrik Olausson, and thanks for the contribution. However, you did not provide any references or sources in the article. Keeping Wikipedia accurate and verifiable is very important, and as you might be aware there is currently a push to encourage editors to cite the sources they used when adding content. Can you list in the article any websites, books, or other sources that will allow people to verify the content in Fredrik Olausson? You can simply add links, preferably as inline citations, or see citation templates for different citation methods. Thanks! Shawnc 13:06, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

SE vs. SWE
I know that but isn't CS for czechoslovakia and CZE for Czech Rep? Look at all the canadian players infoboxes, they all have CAN. And I would guess that the SWE abbreviation is more recognizable then SE, outside of the scandinavian countries. --Krm500 21:18, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Nicklas Lidström
I apologize. While adding a source for Lidstrom being named captain, I must have started editing before your edit went through, and then hit "save page" after your edit, which reverted it. I did not even see your edit until you told me about it on my talk page, and I definitely did not intentionally revert it. I don't know now whether it's better to revert back to your version, and then add my citation, or add your citations to my version, but either way, I encourage you to re-add what looks to be excellent citations. Thanks for not freaking out after I reverted your good edit. --Muéro 17:27, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Nya infoboxen i Linköpings HC-artikeln
Hej, jag tänkte bara säga att jag gillar den nya infoboxen du fixade till LHC-artikeln! Det är väl kanske standard för hockeylag nu, så jag vet inte hur mycket av äran som ska gå till just dig, men nån måste ju göra jobbet med att byta ut den och jag tycker att det blev riktigt snyggt. :) Hade ex. själv funderat ett tag på att byta ut överskriftens bakgrundsfärg eftersom den gamla såg ganska hemsk ut, men det blev aldrig av. Någon gång i framtiden har jag tänkt att jobba en hel del på den där artikeln, men det dröjer nog ett tag. - x-Flare-x 02:13, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Jag tyckte det var dags att få en enhetlig standard för artiklarna om Elitserielagen. Men det var ganska enkelt - jag kopierade i stort sett mallen för NHL-lag och ändrade lite. --claes 09:34, 18 February 2007 (UTC)


 * ...men varför finns det en ruta för "History"? Det kan ju aldrig få plats i den där lilla rutan. :S - x-Flare-x 02:21, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Tanken är att där kan namnbyten listas. Se Frölunda HC. --claes 09:34, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Age in Infobox
Age is NOT to be included in infoboxes. Please revert your changes The strokes 01:17, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I disagree. Take a look at where the template Birth date and age is used: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Whatlinkshere/Template:Birth_date_and_age, only in infoboxes. So there are a lot more people than me that believe age should be included in infoboxes. --claes 06:43, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Card Football
Another editor has added the "prod" template to the article Card Football, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also What Wikipedia is not and Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the prod template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Speedy deletion of Card Football
A tag has been placed on Card Football requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on |the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

AfD nomination of Card Football

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at and 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. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 17:14, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Copyright violation in Leigh Ronald Grossman
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Leigh Ronald Grossman, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Leigh Ronald Grossman is unquestionably copyright infringement, and no assertion of permission has been made. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Leigh Ronald Grossman, please affix the template to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that '''this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Game log
Hi. I'm just wondering, what does "record" stand for in the game log seen here at 2008–09 HV71 season? Yours Tooga - BØRK! 18:15, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Record is the team's current, up until and including the game where the entry is, win-loss-tie record, i.e. 1-2-1 would mean that currently the team has won 1 game, lost 2 games and tied in 1 game. --claes (talk) 18:19, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Ok, thanks! Tooga - BØRK! 18:20, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep in mind that in NHL the format is in Win-Loss-Tie format, but in Sweden it is usually shown as Win-Tie-Loss, although as this is the English Wikipedia, the records for the Elitserien teams use Win-Loss-Tie format. --claes (talk) 18:23, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I'll try to remember that. Cheers! Tooga - BØRK! 18:29, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:Wildside Gaming System cover.jpg)
Thanks for uploading File:Wildside Gaming System cover.jpg. 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) 05:06, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
