Request for edit summary
Hi. I am a bot, and I am writing to you with a request. I would like to ask you, if possible, to use edit summaries a bit more often when you contribute. The reason an edit summary is important is because it allows your fellow contributors to understand what you changed; you can think of it as the "Subject:" line in an email. For your information, your current edit summary usage is 15% for major edits and 16% for minor edits. (Based on the last 149 major and 146 minor edits in the article namespace.)

This is just a suggestion, and I hope that I did not appear impolite. You do not need to reply to this message, but if you would like to give me feedback, you can do so at the feedback page. Thank you, and happy edits, Mathbot 04:30, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Hello! If you're so inclined, please see the talk page on American Idol (Season 5) for a discussion on whether we should note the contestants who have never made it to the final three or not. Thanks! -- MisterHand 14:56, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

Apologies - NHL 2006 Playoffs
I want to apologize for others for messing up your technique for the NHL 2006 Playoffs page. I was following your method of only linking players when they're first listed...but others didn't seem to follow that.

You're not allowed to take a night off when you're doing such a large page =) scsgoal31 05:03, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Wow, you are fast
I commited the win to the Edmonton Oilers page with 5 seconds in the 3rd praying the Wings didn't score and before I could update, I edit conflicted, wow, you are fast, oh well, celebrate, us poor Vancouver Canuck fans needed someone to cheer for and the Oilers delivered for us -- Tawker 02:54, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

county cats for NY highways
My suggestion: Hold off on doing that for each and every route. I've been doing it only for routes that are exclusive to one county. I won't even put Route 246 in Wyoming County because the last northern hundred feet of the highway are in Genesee County.

What I think we can do, ultimately, is split the main state highway category down into regions ("State highways in Western New York', "State highways in the Adirondacks" etc.), leaving only the long trunk routes like 5 and 22.

And within the county cats, they can go under "Transportation in X County, New York" as those get created.

Just my ideas.

(Thanks for fixing the 62 image ... what up with that?) Daniel Case 05:21, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Infobox order
It's very simple. Since roads are invariably considered to start (i.e., Mile 0) at their western or southern termini, we list the junctions that way too (and the counties).

Yeah, I know we've got some roads in NYS that don't fit the rule (the Thruway mainline; I'm also curious about why New York State Route 300's reference markers (in Orange County at least) run the other way). But they're usually exceptions that prove it. Daniel Case 03:44, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Lake monster
Perfect! Wonderful rewrite of the section, thanks for working with me on that. If I find out that type of style is wrong, I'll let you know right away and you can bash me for being stubborn! :) Dreadlocke 05:43, 21 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Hey, it was nice working with you too. I see from your user page that you have a degree in professional writing - it definitely shows!  I hope we can collaborate again one day! Dreadlocke 05:53, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Disambiguation
Please don't remove links from OHL trophy articles. If disambiguation is needed, then do so, but keep the links for future expansion. BoojiBoy 16:37, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

NHL draft articles
Please DO NOT remove red player links from NHL draft articles, particularly in the first round. Just because there are not currently articles linking to all such players does not mean there never will be - and players like Robert Dome and JF Damphousse, while obviously not stars, did play in the NHL, and thus meet WP:BIO guidelines. BoojiBoy 18:52, 27 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Well, guess which article I created just last week? Petr Svoboda. Also Curtis Leschyshyn. Notable hockey players, no? Both first-round draft picks, both NHL careers over 1000 games, and both "ugly red links" before last week. BoojiBoy 20:48, 27 June 2006 (UTC)


 * I understand your reasoning, don't get me wrong. But when the links already exist, is there any point in removing them and thus forcing people creating new articles to re-create them, all for the point of aesthetics? BoojiBoy 20:51, 27 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Sounds fine to me. For the record I don't think that red links should be kept for players drafted beyond the first round who never made the NHL, except in special cases. Even then, some players who never make the NHL are noteworthy for other reasons, such as Duncan MacPherson. Cheers, BoojiBoy 21:01, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Nice work, and way to make my point for me. :P BoojiBoy 21:43, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Proposed Routebox Change
Hi, I was wondering if you've seen the new proposal for the new NYS route infobox and the revamping of the Major Intersections section of all NYS route articles. If you haven't, please check out WT:NYSR and vote on the proposal. Thanks. :) -- T M F T - C 19:43, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

Re: Your last edit to 1991 NHL Dispersal Draft
Thanks for working on that article. I just wanted to let you know, however, that your last edit which contained players drafted by SJ & MIN from other teams describes the 1991 Expansion draft, not the Dispersal draft. It looks like they both occurred on May 30, 1991, so it might be wise to just merge both into the same article, but it should be indicated which players came from which draft. Also if you could provide your source for that last list of players that would be great. Once again, thanks for contributing. — GT 21:05, 19 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Well done! The page looks great. Thanks for your help. — GT 02:40, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

Good work
Wow i think i've finally found someone whose hockey bio creation list rivals mine! I had no idea that you had done so much for the WikiProject hockey, and i'd just like to say good work, especially on those draft pages. Keep it up! Croat Canuck  Go Leafs Go   17:39, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

AHL articles
Thanks for helping fill in the AHL season articles, and disambiguations. Its much appreciated. --Flibirigit 20:13, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep up the good work disambiguatting links! Thanks :-) Flibirigit 00:40, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Game Log goalie links
The reason for this is because of those pages, I have created the page for the Los Angeles Kings, the Buffalo Sabres, and the Anaheim Ducks. On all of those pages, I don't have any links on the goaltenders. The other pages, the Calgary Flames and the Columbus Bluejackets, were created by a different user, one who does put those links on there. We have talked about this, and he doesn't have a problem with me having a few minor differences in giving my information than he does, and the links of the goaltenders is one of those minor differences. In the future, I plan to list the team's statistics and will include all players who played with the team, including Barry Brust. I'm sorry for the confusion I gave you, but for my pages, I don't put links there, but the other user's pages (Resolute)'s pages do include that. Ksy92003 00:23, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Team Articles
Different people have different way of formatting their articles. If you don't like mine, I suggest that you talk with the person who created the idea, Resolute. Make your case to him, and then if there are any changes that he requests that I make, alert me and I will more than gladly make them. Ksy92003 04:22, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

2006-07 season NHL Team Articles
When I started doing these articles, I thought I would be able to do several teams. However, my current school schedule prohibits me from doing so. Therefore, I hereby relinquish the responsibilities for editing the Buffalo and Anaheim season articles to you, pending you keep the color scheme for the game logs as I have set them. Any other edits, however, you must confirm with me to check for validity in those articles. Ksy92003 21:32, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Very well. I do understand your case.  I suppose I just did what was easier for me and not what is easier for everybody else, which is what Wikipedia is for.  If I want to do it my way, I can do that by myself some where else, not Wikipedia.  If you wish, you may edit my articles to make the color schemes identical amongst the other pages. Ksy92003 21:53, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
 * What's hard for me is that I'm only in High School, so most of my time is taken up with home work. I can't wait to be able to make more significant contributions to Wikipedia.  Until that time should come, any assistance you wish to give to me is greatly appreciated. Ksy92003 21:58, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Thank you. I would've never thought about that. Good looking out. I do see your point and I understand what you are saying. I just don't know why I never thought about that. I've really gotta start keeping a better eye out for those kinds of errors. Thanks again. Ksy92003 05:30, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I didn't even notice that he had those listed as "New Team". I guess when I was creating the Los Angeles Kings' article, I was going too fast and overlooked it.  Let me know if you find any other stupid mistakes that I made. Ksy92003 05:35, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

Baseball
Hello again, Skudrafan. I've got a question for you. I have seen your contributions and your tireless work on wikipedia, including creating the NHL team articles for the St. Louis Blues, the New York Islanders, and the Pittsburgh Penguins, despite your favorite team being the Buffalo Sabres. Granted, I had already created that article before you began to edit them. But anyway, I was just wondering if you follow any MLB teams. Thank you. Ksy92003 21:43, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Hi. The reason I asked you about the MLB teams was because similarly to the NHL team articles, I am starting a similar project for the baseball teams.  And since you seem to be very knowledgeable about various topics, and you seem rather dedicated to Wikipedia, I was wondering if you'd like to contribute. Ksy92003 06:06, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Template
Thanks for your edit to my template: Colorado Avalanche seasons. What I had done was copied the data from the Dallas Stars seasons template into a Microsoft Word document to make the necessary changes to make it show the Colorado Avalanche's seasons, but I had forgotten to replace all of the "Dallas Stars" with "Colorado Avalanche". Thanks for looking out for me. Ksy92003 04:03, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Also, thanks for editing the links of one of the seasons in the templates. I was typing too fast and I think I got the two numbers reversed because of that.  I wouldn't have guessed that anybody would've looked at those in enough detail to see if there was a mistake in them, but thanks.  You really helped me out, especially after all the work I've done last weekend, creating the 2006-07 Dallas Stars and Phoenix Coyotes articles, getting all of the information on all by myself, with the exception of you categorizing both articles (I still haven't figured out how to do that yet, but I'll come to figure it out in due time).  I've spent mostly my entire weekend working on perfecting my articles, and I hope that I did a good job on them. Ksy92003 15:31, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

2006-07 Carolina Hurricanes season
Dude, you beat me to this article. I was just gonna go edit this. I went to look at my overall contributions for the statistics that I put on my userpage, then I went down to my Carolina Hurricanes edit, and I find out that I didn't havew the most recent edit. So I look at it and find out that you already finished filling it out for me. Thanks! Ksy92003 17:30, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
