IHLs
We have International Hockey League (the most recent). We have International Hockey League (1929-36). We don't have a International Professional Hockey League. ccwaters 12:56, 5 August 2006 (UTC)


 * I brought it up here Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Ice Hockey. Hopefully it will be clarified. Either way: all three are unrelated and should have their own article. I'll put I disambig at the top of each. ccwaters 21:51, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Radio stations
Hi...please note that Wikipedia conventions for broadcast stations are that a radio station does not get separate articles for each different call sign it has used over the course of its history; the article goes at the current (or last) call sign only, and any other prior call sign is redirected to that one. So CJIC-AM does not get a separate article from CFYN, and CJIC-FM does not get a separate article from CHAS. Thanks. (Also, by the way, broadcast regulation doesn't actually recognize an "-AM" suffix; all AM radio stations in Canada and the United States are licensed with the four-letter CXXX call sign and no suffix. So Wikipedia policy has determined that when we need to disambiguate an AM station from other things with the same acronym, we use "(AM)" rather than "-AM".) Bearcat 19:50, 13 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Also, Wikipedia articles cannot contain cross-namespace links to userpages, so I'm sorry, but you can't have the radio station articles link to your userpage. You're more than welcome to list your name and userpage link on the articles' talk pages, however. Bearcat 20:01, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

You can look at WikiProject Radio Stations for radio, and WikiProject Television Stations for TV. Policy development is always an ongoing process on here, though, so there may be some situations where something is unclear, but you can always post to the project talk pages for discussion and/or clarification if needed.

Capitalization
Oh, I wasn't going for angry; I was actually trying to be lighthearted and a little tongue-in-cheek. It's not like you're the first person in the history of Wikipedia to capitalize job titles — which isn't necessarily wrong as such; it's just institutional/corporate style as opposed to "standard" written English style, and Wikipedia uses the latter. My edit summary wasn't actually directed at you in particular; it was actually just a playful jab at everybody who does the same thing. Nobody's trying to wreck your fun, don't worry about that.

Roberta Bondar - Honorary vs Honourary
For an article about a Canadian, the spelling should be as it would be in Canada, in this case "our."

The article American and British English spelling differences may help the discussion.

James Warner-Smith 00:35, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the link to American and British English spelling differences. It only mentions honor/honour, no mention of honorary which appears as such in dictionaries.  Cheers,  um  drums  15:25, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
