Help me!
Please help me with...I would like to add a reference to update the NZIHL stats for Ian Wannamaker using the following link. http://www.eliteprospects.com/player.php?player=69472 I would also like to thank the user 'Schwede66' for editing and tidying up my entry. That was truly professional work and I clearly have a lot to learn about wikipedia! Please thank him.

Can I add a photo to the page? What photo would you feel is most appropriate? How do I send this in?

Lastly, an addition. Ian is the only player from the NZIHL to represent the South Island while playing for a North Island based franchise (the Botany Swarm) in the Skate of Origin competition. As he first began playing ice hockey in Dunedin with the Dunedin Aces. (link: http://www.nzihl.com Home/NZIHL/Admirals/Teams Announced For Skate Of Origin VII

Thank you so much. Regards, Ian

 * See WP:Referencing for beginners on how to easily add references to an article.
 * Wikipedia offers several ways to express your appreciation for another editor's work. For example, the page history, which shows Schwede66's edits, has a "thank" link next to them; see also Notifications/Thanks.
 * Adding an image is somewhat tricky due to copyright. Wikipedia only accepts freely licensed images of living persons that everybody may re-use and modify for any purpose, including commercial purposes. Unless you personally took a photo of Wannamaker and are willing to release it under such a license, free images will probably prove difficult to find. Google's image search can be restricted to freely licensed images, but my search didn't turn up any useful results.
 * Finally, while that seems an interesting bit of trivia, the NZIHL website does not actually say Wannamaker is the only player representing the South while playing for a Northern franchise; in fact, it doesn't seem to mention him at all. It does say Wannamaker was recently reprimanded, though I'm not sure that's significant enough for the encyclopedia article. Huon (talk) 12:19, 30 August 2015 (UTC)
