Robert Meyers (ice hockey)
Hey Connormah, just wanted to let you know that I found confirmation that Bob Meyers is still alive, as I know that we have both been looking into that. I've also got a few hockey questions coming your way by email, if you have the time. Canadian  Paul  19:19, 14 August 2014 (UTC)

Thanks!
Thanks for finding the dates. I've been checking the possibly living for the past few days and have been taking some out that I know can't be alive. (Such as one person was listed who was in the 1920 Olympics and in WW1, another person who wrote a screenplay in 1923, and the funniest one-a guy who wrote a book in 1910!) Those are just a few. As well as moving some living people into there! I have found dates for some, but not for all. I also managed to move out everyone born before 1902 except 1 or 2 people (one was listed as missing so I just kept it there for now). So thanks again! (I could show more people that I found that could be alive or that I moved out recently!)

 * No problem; happy to help out where I can. Connormah (talk) 17:57, 22 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Welcome!

Here are some that are under possibly living or year of death missing:

Benvenuto Nunes, R. B. Pearson, Jacques Maumont, Margaret Johnson (this is one odd one-apparently 2 people are mentioned in this article with the same name), Albert Ramsden, A. Miles Pratt, Ángel Rodríguez (boxer), Thomas Stanford (film editor), John W. Holmes (film editor).

There are quite a bit more-these are just a few!

Wgolf (talk) 19:02, 22 August 2014 (UTC)

Well I moved out a lot today-moved a few in as well. But yeah got a lot more. And I got rid of a few politicians that I know would not be alive as well. Well good luck! Wgolf (talk) 06:29, 25 August 2014 (UTC)

Flyer images (Holmgren, Snider, & Hextall)
In addition to the new image of mine that I uploaded of Paul Holmgren which I took at the presser on May 7, 2014 when he was named President of the Flyers and added to the infobox in his article, I have also uploaded another image of mine (of which the Holmgren image is a detail) of Holmgren, Ed Snider and Ron Hextall together at the same presser which I have added in appropriate places to the articles on Holmgren, Hextall, and the Philadelphia Flyers.

Speedy deletion nomination of Paul Kinsman


A tag has been placed on Paul Kinsman requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Re; Hockey pics
Sorry this is late. I had to suddenly go AWOL (Away With Out Laptop) because of RL issues. Will look at these for you and try to get back up to speed here as RL allows. Will post here what I find re: the pics you asked about. We hope (talk) 22:43, 4 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Bill Torrey The trouble is that we don't have a visible "tie" to the Oakland organization shown on the photo and that there's no indication that this was published--no date stamp. This one has similar issues.  You can see it's from the Islanders and has mark-up indicating that it was published, but all that's in the back is a hand-written 1973.  Would keep my eyes on these and see if some identical ones turn up that prove they were published.


 * Jim Gregory They're from the Maple Leafs, all right, but there's nothing like a date stamp on the back to show us it was published in the US during the pre-1978 timeframe. Again, would keep eyes open for identicals.


 * John Muckler OK-published with "proof" in the Baltimore Sun. Photo was taken by a photo studio in Cleveland, so it wasn't taken by the paper and would be considered under copyright.  There's no marks on it from the Cleveland studio re: photo being copyrighted, so this is a fine pre-1978, no copyright marks.  I think a post at Graphics Lab/Photography workshop could get the watermark removed. ;)


 * Al Arbour This one says it was part of a hockey guide. Would pass this because we don't know the if the guide was copyrighted. This one doesn't show publication.  How about this one from the Islanders in 1977?  It shows ID as from the team and has a published date stamp at back. We hope (talk) 23:04, 4 October 2014 (UTC)


 * All-righty! File:John Muckler 1971.jpg-waiting at Graphics Lab for watermark removal, and File:Al Arbour 1977.jpg :) We hope (talk) 03:16, 5 October 2014 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

 * Many thanks for this and once again condolences on your family's loss. Best. Connormah (talk) 05:27, 5 October 2014 (UTC)

Citation formatting
Per WP:LINKROT and WP:CITEHOW, please format the citations in the many, many new stubs you have been creating for state legislators. For most of the Oregon ones, you may be able to simply copy the formatting I used in Tom Hanlon (politician), just changing the page number to the specific page in the source that corresponds to the subject of the Wikipedia article. (I did that one as an example, but I don't plan to take time to do the others.) Whether a source is available online or not, citations need to indicate publisher, date, page number (if there is one) and author (unless it's something like a state agency, as in this case) to satisfy WP:V.

Edit
Hi ... not a huge deal, and I defer to you on this, but I was wondering whether your change here didn't actually unintentionally change the tenor of the text in a way that less accurately reflected the ref. If she battled the illness, she may not have been suffering from it at any time. If she suffered from the illness, the implication is that she suffered from it IMHO. (e.g., if I battle with weight gain, I may have it from time to time, but if I have a weight problem, I have it at all moments). Best. --Epeefleche (talk) 06:16, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi - for me, I always find it better to just state whatever they had without the "battling"/"suffering from" verbiage as it can sometimes shift the POV a bit. There was a discussion I started at with some points that sum it up quite well. Connormah (talk) 07:08, 18 October 2014 (UTC)

Nova Scotia MLAs
Hi there, I see you are also trying to fill in the missing gaps in Nova Scotia MLA articles. I'm glad I'm not the only one. I don't want to step on your shoes here, but I have been working on articles for Rollie Thornhill and Billy Joe MacLean for awhile now, and and have much more content and references and was hoping you wouldn't mind if I incorporated what I have been working on into the articles over time. I have been working on some others also, but if not, it's ok. I think you have pretty much filled in the rest of the gaps in missing articles, so if you think it's better that I shift my attention elsewhere to other articles, I can do this. Regardless, there are a few errors I'm going to fix before moving on. But again, thanks, creating all these articles has saved me some time. Cmr08 (talk) 19:32, 15 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Don't hesitate at all to add to these. For now I'm creating stubs so any further info would be great. A great deal of them I've created have almost gaping holes info-wise, so it'd be great if you can add. Thanks! Connormah (talk) 19:35, 15 November 2014 (UTC)


 * That's good then, I'll see what I can do. I think I'm after adding close to 40 myself over the last few months, so it will be great to have an article for everyone who was ever elected provincially. Cmr08 (talk) 19:40, 15 November 2014 (UTC)

Leonard L. Pace
Hi again, one of the articles you added, Leonard L. Pace died in 1991. I know geneology and obituaries can't be used as references, but is there anyway that the article could be written to reflect he's not a living person, like Frank Bezanson's article does. Like I said, all I can find is this and his wifes obituary, but they do show that he is not a living person. Cmr08 (talk) 20:42, 15 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Ah, I forgot to check that one. I'll try and find something. If I can get a cemetery record or a newspaper obituary then that should be okay. For Bezanson and Stewart too I hope. For now we can say he's deceased as per his wife's obituary as it refers to him as "the Late". Connormah (talk) 20:46, 15 November 2014 (UTC)


 * I searched for Bezanson everywhere, and could not find a death death. I think the only mention I even found was the same source that you found, because it said the same thing you wrote in article. I might be able to find Stewarts, so I'm going to check that now. Cmr08 (talk) 21:16, 15 November 2014 (UTC)


 * Ok, I can only find an offline source for his death. He died on August 14, 1994. It seems to be another one hard to find online. Source is:
 * "Former Cabinet Minister, doctor, Colin Stewart dies" The Chronicle Herald, August 15, 1994.
 * Sounds good... can I ask where you found that? I spent a good deal of time looking yesterday to no avail. Also, another note, for Thornhill and MacLean, both seem to be listed at List of Canadian political scandals, so there may be a bit to add regarding that. I just don't really have time to research them thoroughly. Connormah (talk) 21:47, 15 November 2014 (UTC)


 * I found it using ProQuest []. I have the newspaper clipping somewhere, because I may sound obsessed with politics but I have actually been putting together my own political archive for about the last 20 years (probably about 200 books, but thousands upon thousands of political news articles) you would not believe the news articles I have on pdf on my computer, let alone the actual clippings I have put away.


 * On another note, could you take a look at the 55th General Assembly of Nova Scotia article for me. I get all confused working with boxes, but the one at top is wrong. The Cape Breton Labour Party didn't even exist anymore at the time of the 1988 election, MacEwan was just an independent candidate, not the leader of a political party at that time. It's correct as independent in the list. Cmr08 (talk) 22:13, 15 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I'll look at the article. If you do find the clipping, can you see if you can fish out a place of death if it is included? It's always tough to find dates of death of Canadian figures (as is an issue when creating these types of articles), so thanks for this. If we had something like the SSDI in the US it would be much easier... Connormah (talk) 22:18, 15 November 2014 (UTC)

Can't promise I'll be able to find it, but I'll take a look. And I missed the mention you made about Thornhill and MacLean, and I do know the issues you are referring to. There is plenty info available on both of them, as they had such long careers, and I have been working on them for awhile now. Cmr08 (talk) 22:24, 15 November 2014 (UTC)
 * OK, that sounds good. In the meantime, I may try and get a few more pages done for MLAs later tonight. As I said, feel free to add onto them as I'm basically just wanting to provide a shell to build up upon. This should greatly improve our coverage of Nova Scotia provincial MLAs - Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and BC already have basically articles for all MLAs ever elected so it'd be great to add another province to the list. Oh, and I'll also keep searching for Bezanson's death. The archives may be able to help with that. Connormah (talk) 22:30, 15 November 2014 (UTC)

Layton Fergusson
Hi, now I have to ask you the question. Where did you Layton Fergusson's death date? I've been trying to find that, but the best I could find was the year. Cmr08 (talk) 00:11, 16 November 2014 (UTC)
 * I found it from a genealogy online that cites his obit in a Cape Breton newspaper. Connormah (talk) 00:16, 16 November 2014 (UTC)
 * A question for you now - is the info of Murdock Matheson succeeding Peter John Nicholson incorrect at the bottom of 52nd General Assembly of Nova Scotia? Connormah (talk) 00:27, 16 November 2014 (UTC)


 * Yes, that's wrong. It was Fisher Hudson who won the byelection for the Tories. . I didn't notice that when I linked Donnie MacLeod directly above. Cmr08 (talk) 00:36, 16 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks. On another note... funny... seems that the bioguide is missing Len J. Arsenault' s entry... Connormah (talk) 01:02, 16 November 2014 (UTC)


 * I searched through proquest for George Riley, checked the Herald archives from internet archive, and looked through my Globe and Mail articles, and there is no mention of death date that I kind find. Odd thing, is that I can't seem to find any mention of him at all. Cmr08 (talk) 05:53, 16 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Interesting... I guess the circa mention of his obit will have to do for now. Connormah (talk) 19:39, 17 November 2014 (UTC)

A few MLAs
Hi Connormah, I just want to say again that I think this is really good that there's two of us doing these articles, because it would have taken me forever to get to some of the ones you did. Not having to create them is giving me more time to research them, so I know you will probably get to these names eventually, but a few that I have started to research are Jim MacLean (Inverness) aka Billy Joe's brother, Percy "Pinky" Gaum (Cape Breton Nova), and Edward "Ned" Manson (Cape Breton West). If you can create these articles, I should be able to add to them. By the way, I tackled the political career for Billy Joe MacLean last night. I tried to get all the details in with sources so that the scandal side of things was written in a neutral manner like it should be. Is it ok the way it's written? I would also like to tackle Rollie Thornhill, but there is so much info out there that I will have to do it bit-by-bit, or I would never get to some of the others. Cmr08 (talk) 20:38, 17 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Looks good on McLean. I'll see if I can get to those others sometime this week. Side note, if you can find Alex McIntosh's DOB in the 1985 Parliamentary Guide cite I used for Billy Joe McLean and Cora Etter, please add it... it's bugging the hell out of me that I can't seem to get his entry to show... Connormah (talk) 21:01, 17 November 2014 (UTC)

George A. Snow
Hi Connormah. As an administrator, you should know that everything on Wikipedia requires reliable sources that are verifiable. I've seen a lot of articles being created you that skirt dangerously close to WP:BLP issues because they lack appropriate references or make claims that are back up by material that could be construed as original research. If you have evidence that Snow was alive in 2009, please demonstrate it, don't just say "I did look into it and he was living by at least 2009".

You're also creating a lot of stubs that lack even the most basic BLP categorization (ie. the living people category), which is becoming somewhat frustrating, since those categories exist to increase the level of protection we are able to provide against vandalism on biographies of living people. Please keep this consideration in mind when you are starting new articles. Canadian  Paul  22:47, 17 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I thought you had looked into it, as you usually have in the past in my work with you. Nevertheless I did find a source from 2014 that confirms he's living. AS for the cats, I know I've always been overly lazy with categories and have been trying to do a better job at adding them. Apologies if I missed a few on the way. Connormah (talk) 23:09, 17 November 2014 (UTC)


 * I did look into it, but it's such a common name that I didn't find anything with a few quick searches. As for the cats, no worries, I'm just on heightened alert because we've had some less-obvious BLP problems this year with obscure individuals. 23:25, 17 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Understandable. Those faux-centenarian actress cases earlier this year were downright bizarre (if that's what you are referring to). Connormah (talk) 00:29, 18 November 2014 (UTC)

Ralph F. Fiske
Which article are you talking about? I only see the four Globe and Mail articles I added as references. You added one from the National Post, is that the one you mean? I don't have access to that paper, but I do have over 3,000 articles on my computer relating to politics in Nova Scotia from The Globe and Mail, and I'm sure there's something there relating to the Gaming Commission, I can take a look and see what's there. Cmr08 (talk) 06:40, 18 November 2014 (UTC)
 * It's the one where I got his age...so yes, the National Post one (sorry, got that mixed up). I can email it to you if you'd like (I have access through Proquest). Connormah (talk) 07:02, 18 November 2014 (UTC)


 * I also have access to Proquest, but mine doesn't have "National Post" under publications. Do you just have the index or can you get full text? The only paper I have full text for is the Toronto Star (1985-present). Most others are just indexes, but I do have access to a couple of newswires going back to the mid-1980s. Anything I cite from Globe and Mail doesn't come from Proquest, I actually have all those articles. You can still send me that article if you want, my account is linked to my email in tools. Cmr08 (talk) 07:51, 18 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Full text. I'll send.. Connormah (talk) 07:52, 18 November 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks, looks like a very detailed article. Cmr08 (talk) 08:05, 18 November 2014 (UTC)

Hi there, good find. How did you ever track the death date down? Cmr08 (talk) 20:06, 22 November 2014 (UTC)
 * I got help from the Nova Scotia Archives on this one. They sent me a scan of the obit. I could send it to you if you want (you'll need to reply to one of my emails though - can't send attachments through the WP email user page). Connormah (talk) 20:08, 22 November 2014 (UTC)

Leroy Blunt
Looks like whoever did this research screwed up, claiming that Blunt changed his name and died in 2001. There is a Leroy O. Blunt who died in 2001, but he was born on a different day and, obviously, could not have been the political patriarch, since the latter gave an interview in 2006 (unless the guy who gave the interview was lying about who he was, haha).

Proposed template merge: Infobox college football player
Connormah, I have posted a very strong "oppose" with a very specific rationale at Templates for discussion/Log/2014 December 14. After you've had time to review and ponder my rationale, please feel free to ping me here or on my talk page to discuss this further. Regards, Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 23:40, 14 December 2014 (UTC)
 * - I'm afraid that I don't really feel to strongly about this anymore. I apologize if my suggestion seemed shortsighted, but I'm curious to see what comes of the discussion. I think that the CFB infobox definitely needs a rewrite to be in line with the other football infoboxes, though (one of my nitpicks is that it doesn't include death params, which are useful for older college football players). Connormah (talk) 00:42, 20 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Connormah, I agree with your analysis that the CFB infobox needs to be revamped. But not only what you suggest, it needs to be tailored with non-pro-football options that can be used for the hundreds (1,500+?) of CFB players who never played in any professional league.  Many of these were top-tier athletes (consensus All-Americans) who played college ball in the era before big-time pro sports, and had substantial non-sports careers after college.  These articles deserve a tailored solution, one that can be used for current CFB players (and easily converted to Infobox NFL player), but also includes degree information, post-college profession, death date and age, death place, etc.  That having been said, I also believe that the CFB infobox should remain graphically/visually distinctive from Infobox NFL player and Infobox gridiron football person (the CFL infobox).  Assuming the current TfD results in a "keep" outcome, I will be back to you after Xmas to ask for your input on the revamped CFB infobox.  Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 01:42, 20 December 2014 (UTC)

CFL players
When creating CFL players can you try to add some of the basic categories such as the position they played or the college they played for. Thanks.--Yankees10 22:13, 20 December 2014 (UTC)
 * - sorry, I'm notoriously lazy for this. I'll try. Connormah (talk) 22:23, 20 December 2014 (UTC)
 * If no one noticed I pretty much updated all of the CFL players that Connormah made over the past few months. Thanks for making them. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 23:18, 20 December 2014 (UTC)

I assume that you had a reason for putting Johnny Showalter into "Year of death missing". Was it because you suspect that this guy is the football player? Other public records about him suggest (although don't prove) that he was. Just curious. Canadian  Paul  22:25, 22 December 2014 (UTC)

Nail Yakupov
You reverted my reversion of the medal table for Nail Yakupov, the division is necessary as the link for the first "Russia" points to Russia men's national junior ice hockey team, that participates in the IIHF World U20 Championship. However, the second "Russia" points to Russia men's national under-18 ice hockey team, that participates in the World Junior A Challenge and the IIHF World U18 Championship. A reader of the article would be misguided, were they to click on a singular Russia and assume that the same team participated in all three tournaments. In hockey circles, this is a necessary division much like the division between the Dallas Stars and Texas Stars teams are necessary. Yes, the player is likely under contract to Dallas, but he actually played for Texas. In this instance, Nail played for both the U20 and U18 and were he to medal with the Russia men's national ice hockey team, a third "Russia" should appear.

AN/I report you commented on
Thanks for bringing the Little Jimmy Dickens edits done by IP 70.190.229.97 to my attention at this AN/I. I have to say I am confused, however, as to why the report remains untouched. Is it because I did not include the right information or enough information in it? Could it be because it really isn't a big enough issue for anyone to be concerned with, or what, exactly? I asked Drmies for some advice regarding the report but he hasn't responded, and I really don't want to bother him about it again (if you read this Drmies because of the ping, please know I pinged you only because I mentioned you here, not because I'm trying to "poke" or get you to respond regarding the message I left on your talk page). So, if you have time, Connormah, I would appreciate some input as to why you think the report is being ignored. As you already noticed, the IP continues to edit by adding empty sections to articles as well as revert his preferred version of an article back in. His lack of heeding warnings on his talk page and communication is pretty frustrating as well. My guess is (by looking at what he's editing and the content he finds important for article inclusion) that he's a teenager or college student on Christmas break. Maybe the whole thing will no longer be a problem after students head back to school. In any case, what he's been doing has been pretty frustrating and seems disruptive, in my book. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 00:02, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Said Drmies has been out of time and active only in spare moments via mobile; I'll have a look but it might not be until tomorrow... Drmies (talk) 01:03, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
 * I kind of figured that. Holidays, real life, and all that.  Thanks, Drmies. -- WV ● ✉ ✓  01:09, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I had first disregarded the edit as misguided, but after seeing the deleted warnings and ANI thread, I see that there's a bigger problem here. If they persist, I could see a case made for a block for disruptive editing (seems like a case of WP:IDHT), but I agree that further input would be helpful.

Hi Connormah. You've helped me find DOB information in the past, so I thought I'd see if you might be able to help again. No rush at all (I see you are on vacation), but my sleuthing skills have hit a dead end with this one. John Turner was an All-American college basketball player at Louisville. According to this he died on May 5, 2013 in Newport, Kentucky at the age of 73. From this I know his middle initial is "W." But I can't come up with a DOB. Can you help?

 * "Wider use...." Not the articles that I edit! It seems sensible guidance, in the same way that we don't link articles more than once.  The whole "New York, New York" thing is, to the rest of the world, just a silly US affectation, but stating "New York, New York, United States" twice in successive lines seems to stretch affectation beyond absurdity.

Hi Connor, it's been some time since we ran into each other. Thanks for starting those article, I'll see later about adding more details on political career. As for the Fiske article, I thought I had that on my watch list, but I guess I didn't. I made a couple of touchups, but don't know what to think about the added content. The section added sounds like a tribute with that long quote about how honorable he was. What do you think? Also, I'll try and find a death date for Ned Manson, I can't recall how long ago he died, but I think it was sometime before 1990. Anyways, good to hear from you and thanks again for those articles.

Nemtzov
Hi Connormah. I have no personal involvement in this, but as you can see, everybody else seems happy with a clear, easy-to-read, airy layout, with headings and separation of topics.

Stuffy, crowded layouts lead to one thing only: any non-academic reader (and those are 99% of the WP users) give up and go to a different source. I don't think you'd rather have the last word, but no readers for your work :-)

Reverse-editing is too silly, I won't go into that if you insist on reverting all I'm doing; I'm sure we can agree that the USER and his convenience is the only concern we should have. It's not about me or you. Nevertheless, I've been working with book publishers and the press for two decades now and am using what I've learned, I'm not making things up or having an ego trip.

Have a nice weekend.Arminden (talk) 06:21, 28 February 2015 (UTC)Arminden
 * - Please read WP:MOSLEDE. That short of a lede is not appropriate for an article of that length. It is not meant to be a two sentence breeze through of an article, rather it should accurately and proportionally summarize the article. This is a basic and common stylistic guideline observed across Wikipedia. Connormah (talk) 06:23, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

Look, there are rules & regulations supporting anything. WP's are user-created, and are being improved constantly. All those abbreviated WP insider things are a crutch, not a weapon against common sense and rational thinking. What doesn't change is logic and human nature. Logic says: Nemtsov is a big topic in today's news, but not for long, not in the English WP for sure. The USER on the other hand, is a constant. One stays away from stuffy texts without breaks and spaces, systematic separation of topics etc. I don't give a damn about how many committees a politician is part of, but I want to know if he's with this or that large block. If I'm doing some research, then I'll take the time and read the rest as well - and will be grateful if things are structured and systematical. As it was, the material was one big stew, with politics thrown in one pot with academic work, publications, yellow-press comments ("young model") etc. If it's an encyclopedia, then let it be a good, useful, easy-to-read one. I hope I didn't get too much carried away. Take care, Arminden (talk) 06:34, 28 February 2015 (UTC)Arminden

... now you see what you got. The fuck-pal is back in in the lead ("23-year old") etc., as if anyone should care. Putin's people killed a decent opposition leader and people edit commas and headings, adding gossip. I'm out, enjoy. Maybe you want to pick up from where I've left, if I did manage to convince you.

Hi Connormah. Is Robert Austin Larter's birthday supposed to be January 15 or January 25? You listed both on the page, but neither are in the sources (that I can see, anyways). Also, why is he referred to as "Bob Estevan" in his wife's obituary? Canadian  Paul  18:58, 1 March 2015 (UTC)
 * - Estevan is his residence. Have to check on the source for that. Did you get the message regarding the Washington politicians above as well (seems to have been archived)? Connormah (talk) 19:41, 1 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes, I did. I don't have any concrete evidence that either are deceased, so I updated their listings in my nonagenarian list. Canadian   Paul  19:46, 1 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks! Connormah (talk) 22:03, 1 March 2015 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for starting all of those old-time CFL players too. It is appreciated. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 05:16, 7 March 2015 (UTC)
 * - no problem. Always felt that CFL player coverage was/is underdone here in comparison to the NFL/NHL/MLB... the bonus is a lot of these players played in college ranks in the States as well as in the AFL/NFL (albeit briefly). Connormah (talk) 05:23, 7 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Indeed. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 05:25, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

Donald MacKeen Smith
Hi Connor, could you take a look at the article for Donald MacKeen Smith? I was going to make corrections as the article doesn't include his entire political career, just his last term, but didn't want to touch the reference you added. He also represented Halifax Centre from 1960 to 1967, so I thought it should say in the lead the years 1960 to 1970, but that would mean not mentioning the specific election that's already sourced in lead. I know I can't remove sources added by others, even when I'm providing new ones, so is there a way to add the rest of his career without stepping on other editors who have already edited the article with sources? Thanks. Cmr08 (talk) 09:42, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

Del Thachuk
Okay I was just putting the person data up for Del Thachuk and noticed you oddly have him as 1936 yet he is listed as 1930s births-where did you get the 1936? (actually 1935 would make more sense to go halfway between) But yeah was just wondering this. Wgolf (talk) 03:48, 8 March 2015 (UTC)
 * it's from the profootballarchives.com roster listing. Connormah (talk) 05:22, 8 March 2015 (UTC)

Latest obit
Thanks Connor. Did you send it as an attachment or just pasted in mail? I was trying to save it but I can't figure how to do that. Cmr08 (talk) 05:50, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
 * - My email client must paste these by default - can you copy it to your clipboard and paste it somewhere to save it? If not I'll send from my alt email address. Connormah (talk) 05:52, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
 * It's no problem now, I just went to the website and opened my mail that way. Save picture there worked. Thanks. Cmr08 (talk) 06:36, 22 March 2015 (UTC)

Question
I was looking at the Ottawa Senators (original) page and noticed that you uploaded the team logo seen in the infobox. Do you think you could do that for the Montreal Shamrocks? There is no logo for them on the page.Giantdevilfish (talk) 17:52, 23 March 2015 (UTC)

SMU Colors request
Hey Connormah. I was hoping you could change the colors for the File:SMU Mustang Logo.svg file? The colors, according to the SMU Marks page is now #C60C30. You can also get it from here, as well. Thanks in advance.  Corky  |  Chat?  02:06, 27 March 2015 (UTC)

Aiden Maloney
Hey Connormah, do you have any evidence that Aiden Maloney is still alive? Seems sensible to ask before I go around changing categories. Canadian  Paul  20:08, 27 March 2015 (UTC)
 * - Hm, well I did see, but I see that it's from 2001 now (had thought it said 2011). I guess we could move him to PLP, but there doesn't seem to be any obits since then. Also I think the Who's who entry was from 2009, fwiw. Connormah (talk) 21:24, 27 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Also, this seems to be him: Connormah (talk) 21:26, 27 March 2015 (UTC)
 * And this from 2014: Connormah (talk) 21:27, 27 March 2015 (UTC)
 * The 2014 picture looks like an older version of the 2001 individual, so it looks like he's still around. Thanks! Canadian   Paul  21:36, 27 March 2015 (UTC)
 * - just found that Hazel Newhook turned 100 last yr. Connormah (talk) 00:27, 30 March 2015 (UTC)

Connormah, here's a taste of how the revamped infobox is going: Template:Infobox college football player/testcases. What do you think of the colors, graphics, and layout and design? Pretty sharp, eh? Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 16:45, 1 April 2015 (UTC)

Hey Connormah. Sorry to bother you again, but could you update the colors in File:UTDallas Logo.svg? It is a darker shade now at #C75B12.
