Re: a recent revert
Hey, I reverted this recent revert at the list of National Hockey League statistical leaders by country. I know it was with good intention, but the other players on that page repeat a team if they ever returned there (check out Martin Rucinsky under the Czech Republic for an extreme example). − Twas Now ( talk • contribs • e-mail ) 07:44, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks
I was very happy when I saw it, but I didn't have the time to reply to say thanks for the barnstar. And then I didn't remember. So, I thank you very much now. Congratulations on your outstanding work, Joe Sakic is my favorite player and it is great to have a Featured Article of him. I'm looking forward to cooperate with you in more articles in the Wikiproject Ice Hockey. Thanks for the barnstar.--Serte [ Talk · Contrib ] 13:30, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

List of National Hockey League statistical leaders by country
The poison I'm speaking of (Northern Ireland disputes) on Wikipedia has apparently seeped into my being again. It's best I depart from that discussion - ONIH & Padraig (for example) have never shown interest in hockey articles before, but now they do (only because of Ireland issues).

I encourage to vote in my Final Solution to the Ireland dispute at List of National Hockey League statistical leaders by country Grsz11 (talk) 22:17, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Padraig is claiming 'Northern Ireland' is not a consituent country of the UK? & One Night in Hackney seems to be arguing that Northern Ireland never has been & is not a part of the UK? How are we gonna get those two to leave this hockey article alone? GoodDay (talk) 03:24, 25 January 2008 (UTC)


 * I'm thinking of calling in RGTraynor (again), along with Krm500, Djsasso & Resolute tommorow. I may be getting paranoid, but I believe the Northern Ireland dispute might spread to the other hockey articles - keeping my fingrs crossed. GoodDay (talk) 03:34, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

List of Lightning players
What, no praise for creating articles for all those who were still red-linked? :)

No, seriously, 'twas nothing. I will take another look at the list when I have a little more time, and I'll let you know what (if anything) I find. Good luck with the FLC! Skudrafan1 (talk) 01:32, 19 February 2008 (UTC)


 * OK, I went through and edited what few things I could find to change. The only major change I made was changing all occurrences of "Present" to "2008," based on a consensus reached at WT:HOCKEY. I see no reason why this should not pass FLC. Best wishes. Skudrafan1 (talk) 06:29, 19 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Ha, this is why I like to stay out of FACs and FLCs -- I can't take people saying the way we've done things is wrong! Then I just get to arguing and making wild claims and basically saying whatever I feel like and it is not constructive at all. I'll keep my nose out of it from here on out. Let me know if you need help with the list in any way. :) Skudrafan1 (talk) 03:21, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Team Colouring
My rationale for removing the colours on the list is I see the green shades intended more for current players, and current players is so much more controversial, ie)players sent down to the minors, so it has been listed as "Player who have currently played in the 07-08 season" or whatever the wording is. When I look at the lists and I see green players, it symbolizes that the player is currently on the roster or still in the organization.

In my humble opinion, Denis still deserves to have a green link because as far as I know, he's still in the lightning organization, playing in Norfolk, am I correct? And call-ups shouldn't be creating problems so long as they are still in the team's organization as they have a very good chance of being called up again. It's just the organization-to-organization transactions that I have a problem with.

I tend to make more sense in my head rather than what I type, but my main point is I just made these edits because I think the green shades should be current players. Maybe in actuality they are designed for players who've played this season, but it just makes so much more sense to have them as current players currently in the organization. Thricecube (talk) 23:53, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
 * While I agree with what you are saying, I still think it makes more sense to uncolour players no longer active on the roster. I think it saves confusion later on, and is generally more accurate.  Personally, it's no problem for me doing this type of stuff at deadlines.  I consider myself a roster demon.  Pretty much all my edits have been roster related.  But I guess I'll refrain from removing the colours them until the next season.

And by the way, I was just in Crofton the other day. It's a nice, quaint little town. Let's hope the Canucks make the Avalanche regret signing Forsberg! Thricecube (talk) 00:09, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Image source problem with Image:Vezina.gif
Thanks for uploading Image:Vezina.gif. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 13:52, 9 April 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Skeezix1000 (talk) 13:52, 9 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your email. We need a source, because the date and origin of the image will dictate whether or not it is in the public domain.  If it is a Canadian image, it is most likely public domain in both Canada and the U.S. (because the Wikipedia servers are located in the U.S., an image must be public domain both in its country of origin and in the U.S.).  If it is an American image, we cannot determine if the image is public domain as it could easily have been taken in 1923 or afterwards (any time up until some time towards the end of 1925).  That's why the source is essential, because the image can't be deemed to be public domain without it.  I hope that helps.  We don't necessarily need to know the photographer (the creators of older photos are often unknown), but we do need the source.  I guess the most important question is: where did you get the image? Skeezix1000 (talk) 19:44, 9 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Normally, we'd want something a bit more certain, but I think you're right in this case that the image is almost certainly a Canadian one. In that case, I'll fix the image description and it should be fine.  Thanks for the help.  Skeezix1000 (talk) 16:43, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Stanley Cup template
Thanks for bringing up this issue. I'm not a member of the Hockey project, and kind of made an assumption that since baseball, american football, and basketball had adopted these navboxes, hockey would be no different. For someone like Richard, I would suggest looking at Babe Ruth as a player with many World Series titles. On the Ruth page the champion navboxes are placed within one collapsible navbox (so all of Richard's 11 navboxes would take up the space of one). That way, if a reader wants to look, if they choose, without cluttering the page. Beyond that, I don't see much that differentiates hockey from other sports on WP. Let me know what you think. Thanks. - Masonpatriot (talk) 00:44, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the response. I agree that things like this are a balance.  While there is a need to limit the clutter that may come to a page like Henri Richard or Mark Messier, I also think that navboxes like this help build the many articles that are in stub status and bolster the articles of the not-so-notable players.  To use an example from baseball, a player like Kevin Cash, who has been an on-and-off backup catcher in MLB for a few years low on the notability scale.  His inclusion, however, on the 2007 Boston Red Sox enhances his notability, since he was a member of that group.  Anyway, those are some of my thoughts.  Please check out Georges Boucher for an example of what I was talking about regarding minimizing multiple navboxes.  Thanks. - Masonpatriot (talk) 01:43, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:Oliwa.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Oliwa.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].

Vancouver Canucks task force
Hey! I noticed you spend a bit of your time on Wikipedia editing Vancouver Canucks related articels. I have been thinking about starting a Vancouver Canucks task force under WikiProject Ice Hockey for some time now, and am now going into the stage of gathering interest, seeing if anyone would actually be interested in joining. I've made a temporary page for the task force at User:Nurmsook/Vancouver Canucks task force. Basically, I just need to get enough members before I actually launch the task force. I still have to create some templates and alter a few that already exist once I get enough members, so hopefully you will be interested! If you would like to help out, please add your name to the list at User:Nurmsook/Vancouver Canucks task force. Thanks! – Nurmsook! (talk) 00:06, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I have gone ahead and launched the task force. It can be found at WikiProject Ice Hockey/Vancouver Canucks task force. If you'd like to add a userbox to your userpage, feel free to add . Basically, for the first little while here, I'll be tagging all applicable pages with the task force option on the talk page. From then on, it'll just be general improvement of the Canucks related articles. Feel free to take any route you please with this task force. Hopefully we can make some great improvements to these articles! – Nurmsook! (talk) 22:42, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Image:Lindenmclean1994.jpg
I recently noticed that you deleted Image:Lindenmclean1994.jpg, citing invalid justification. As the uploader of the image, that leads me to just ask for some clarification. I'm not totally familiar with the whole image policy, finding it way to complex and difficult to follow when there's much more I'd rather be doing, so I hope you can bear with me here. I added the image when preparing Trevor Linden for it's FA nom, which it passed. I'd like to point out that not once during the nomination were any concerns raised about this or any other images, but that's probably not enough of a basis to back this on.

The image was added after I was trying to find more images of Linden, feeling two current ones were not enough. After looking at Dominik Hasek, which uses some non-free images. Specifically, my rational for uploading was Image:VezinaHasek.jpg. As such, I tried to provide the same justification used for that image.

I don't want this to be seen as a user complaining that someone deleted their image, because it's not that. I'm more trying to understand what rational can be given to keep Image:Lindenmclean1994.jpg, as it is the most defining picture in the career of Trevor Linden. Kaiser matias (talk) 17:59, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Shane O'Brien and the 2008–09 Vancouver Canucks season article
I have to disagree with the removal of the † symbol from Shane O'Brien's name in the 2008–09 Vancouver Canucks season article. The symbol denotes that the player spent time with another team before joining Vancouver and that his stats on this page reflect time with the Canucks only. O'Brien played in one regular season game with Tampa Bay prior to joining Vancouver, as can be seen here. Regardless if you get traded at the beginning of the year or at the trade deadline, it was a regular season game and if he goes on to play in all 82 Canucks games, he will have played 83 regular season games this year. Not having the symbol beside O'Brien just doesn't make any sense to me. If it's not a consistent symbol, then why have it at all? He may not have recorded any points in the game, but at the end of the day, his 1 game worth of stats should be included on the Tampa season article with the * symbol or whatever is being used for played who didn't finish the year with the team, and the † symbol should be beside his name in the Vancouver article. – Nurmsook!  talk...  01:53, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

WP:TFAR for Trevor Linden
I totally forgot to nominate Trevor Linden for Today's featured article. Just to clear things up, the date we wanted for this nomination is December 17, 2008. I just made a template (if that's what it's called) for the nomination...

 Trevor Linden, OBC (born April 11, 1970, in Medicine Hat, Alberta) is a retired Canadian professional ice hockey player. He played centre and right wing with four different teams: the Vancouver Canucks (in two stints), New York Islanders, Montreal Canadiens, and Washington Capitals. Before joining the NHL in 1988, Linden captained the Medicine Hat Tigers of the Western Hockey League (WHL) to consecutive Memorial Cup championships. In addition to appearing in two NHL All-Star games, Linden was a member of the 1998 Canadian Olympic team and participated in the 1996 World Cup of Hockey.

Throughout his career, Linden has been recognized as a respected leader on and off the ice. He was named captain of the Canucks at the age of 21, making him one of the youngest captains in league history. While captaining the Canucks, Linden led the team to within a game of winning the Stanley Cup in 1994. It was during this time that he began to be called Captain Canuck. In 1998 he was elected President of the National Hockey League Players' Association (NHLPA), a position he held for eight years. As President, he played an instrumental role in the 2004–05 NHL lockout, including taking a direct role in negotiations with league owners. Off the ice, Linden has taken an active role in charities, and was awarded the King Clancy Memorial Trophy for leadership on the ice and humanitarian contributions off the ice in 1997, as well as the NHL Foundation Player Award in 2008. After 19 seasons in the NHL, Linden retired on June 11, 2008, twenty years to the day after he was drafted into the NHL. (more...) --  SRE.K.A nnoyomous .L. 24 [c] 07:35, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

Re: Some information on the WHL
My one good book that covers this time frame (The Memorial Cup) does not mention who the captain was. It has small team photos for each year, and in 1987 shows five players wearing an A, but none wearing a C. 1988 has a player wearing a C, but I can't figure out who it was. Logically, I would expect Chynoweth was the captain rather than Linden, though he probably wore an A. During this time, Linden would have been 17/18 years old, while Chynoweth was 19/20. Typically it is the 19 year olds that serve as captains on junior teams, and I expect that it would have been similar 20 years ago, especially with a team as stacked as those Tigers' teams were. Either way, I would expect I could find out for sure from an old newspaper, and if you like, can add that to my list of things to do next time I visit the library. Cheers, Resolute 07:41, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
 * And I have the answer for 1988 courtesy of the current issue of Prospects Hockey. Dean Chynoweth was the captain in 1988.  His father presented him with the Memorial Cup that season.  Hope this helps! Resolute 04:03, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Patrick O'Sullivan
According to, it has an original trade of O'Sullivan to the Hurricanes, and then a trade between the Hurricanes and the Oilers. I don't know if this is a three-way trade, but is it safe to exclude the Hurricanes from his list of teams in the infobox (irregardless of whether he played a game for them or not)? I suspect so, but I'm asking you since I see you were the one who added the information. 71.177.247.178 (talk) 21:04, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

The templates were designed to help casual hockey fans a better, more concentrated understanding of the lineage behind the respective conferences.

Fixed using hidden values. Ling.Nut (talk&mdash;WP:3IAR) 08:21, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
 * If you've seen other tables that worked correctly but didn't use hidden values, then you could copy what they did... where is an example of such? Ling.Nut (talk&mdash;WP:3IAR) 23:13, 5 May 2009 (UTC)


 * I am presuming the broken sortability is the goaltender's save percentage column? The problem there may be that it is treating ".900" as a word value rather than a number, thus the 0 always shows up first. I've fixed that with a sort template.  Otherwise, You shouldn't need hidden values for any of the player stats sections, as they are all numbers.  The two greatest problems I had with the Flames draft picks table is that if anything other than a numeral is used, it treats the entire column as an alpha sort, thus putting 9 before 80, etc, and that blank spaces were treated as equivalent to 0, and sorted accordingly.  Neither of these issues seems present in your table.  If this isn't what you are trying to solve, can you point me more specifically towards what needs fixing? Resolute 00:15, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

AfD nomination of History of the Detroit Red Wings

If you are interested in the deletion discussion, please participate by adding your comments at Articles for deletion/. Thank you.Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message.

Since I'm unregistered, I've left the rationale on the article's talk page rather than the deletion debate page.
 * I decided to be bold and remove this AfD before it could be posted on the daily AfD log. There's no need for it and due to the team heading to the Finals, seems to be bad faith.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 05:51, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Red Wings season article move
If you look at the other team season articles for 1999-2000, they are named 1999-2000, not 1999-00. Bring it up at WT:HOCKEY instead. Alaney2k (talk) 14:03, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Pavel Bure
Hey there, I noticed you made some edits to Bure's page and I was wondering if you'd like to further help me out with the article. I saw that you commented on the article's talk page a while back (in '06, I think) about the article's inadequacy. I've done quite a bit of work on it the past few days and would really love to get it up to at least good article status. I remember you being instrumental in getting Linden's up to featured status and would appreciate any input. Thanks! Orlandkurtenbach (talk) 08:26, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks so much for your PR. I've corrected the article according to the vast majority of your suggestions, with the exception of a few minor ones, and I think it's helped the article a great deal.  I see that you're busy with the Howie Morenz article, so thanks for taking the time to review Bure's.  Best of luck with Morenz for FA.  Orlandkurtenbach (talk) 22:57, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

Howie Morenz
Before the FAC got archived, there was one little typo that hadn't been fixed; look for the unstruck comment in my first round. It doesn't matter much now, but you wanted to know if anything was missed, so I wanted to make you aware of it.  Giants2008  ( 17-14 ) 00:40, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Howie Morenz alt text
Thanks for taking a crack at adding alt text to Howie Morenz. It's a good start. Some comments: Thanks again, and hope this helps. Eubulides (talk) 23:09, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
 * The lead (infobox) image and the 1934 All Star game image still need alt text.
 * Phrases like "posing for photograph" should probably be omitted. See WP:ALT , example 2.
 * The first image that says "ice hockey player" should give a few more visual details, for visually impaired readers who don't know what 1930s ice hockey players looked like. It should at least mention the curved stick, skates, and gloves, which are all prominent. Come to think of it, it should also mention the bare head!

Morenz
To be honest, I think it needs to be rewritten - the research and structure are there, but the prose is pretty lacking. Maybe I'll rewrite the lead tonight if I get time, to show you what I mean, and then we can talk about the rest of the article.

 * Hi
 * French contributor, I'm working on the french'article. I think there is a mistake in the introduction: Howie Morenz didn't win the M.Cup but lose vs. the Falcons. Best regards. --TaraO (talk) 20:04, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

Old canadians !
Hello Kaiser matias!

I see you have uploaded a lot of old photographies of old canadians. I've got lots of difficulties with the licence of commons. Do you think you can upload some pics of George Hainsworth and/or Aurel Joliat? It will help me on my work on this two players.

Best regards.

--TaraO (talk) 21:37, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
 * that is huge thanks !!! --TaraO (talk) 22:13, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Hello Kaiser matias.
 * my work on Hainsworth is done, but I'm know working on Tiny Thompson. Do you think the photo on wp.en can be uploaded or this one is good? --TaraO (talk) 20:53, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Hello !
 * Thanks for your answer very clear. Cant' upload photos under fair use on wp.fr. So no photo. Tanks again. --TaraO (talk) 11:25, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

File source problem with File:DaveLewis2006.JPG
Thanks for uploading File:DaveLewis2006.JPG. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

working in Georges Vézina, I found St. Nicholas de Larchoelle. I think you have a mistake in the name : St. Nicholas de Larchoelle doesn't exist but St. Nicolas de Larochelle does. see you ! --TaraO (talk) 10:04, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

ntl_team
This shouldn't be added to players who have only played for the junior team like Nikita Filatov and Mike Ribeiro. According to Template:Infobox ice hockey player, it's just senior. I was also adding them to junior only players but I was informed by DJSasso. RandySavageFTW (talk) 02:50, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I would tend to agree. As a junior hockey junkie, I'd be fine with the U20 team being there, but once you start getting into U18, U17, etc, it becomes convoluted and, really, non-notable.  Lacking a new discussion, we've typically set the bar at senior team representation only. Resolute 05:03, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
 * For the record I have no problem with U20 but as Resolute says when you start going below U20 it gets murky. -DJSasso (talk) 15:43, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

Linden, McLean photo
I'm currently working on Kirk McLean's article, which right now is without a photo. I was wondering what it would take to get File:Lindenmclean1994.jpg to include McLean's article in the fair-use rationale. On a side note, I noticed you finally got the Morenz article past FAC a couple months back. Congrats! Orlandkurtenbach (talk) 01:32, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Hmm.. how about if it wasn't the lead photo? I just got a flickr user to release a photo under creative commons, so I could use the 94 photo in the body.  Would you say it's okay to go ahead with it or should we play it safe? Orlandkurtenbach (talk) 01:51, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Sounds good; thanks for the input. Orlandkurtenbach (talk) 01:56, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Absolutely, that'd be great. I'll probably still take a few days to tweak things around before I put it up for GA so take your time.  Cheers, Orlandkurtenbach (talk) 06:46, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
