List of Calgary Flames award winners
I still have an FLC ongoing for the head coaches of the Calgary Flames, but after a complete reworking of this article over the past while, I believe this one is FL quality as well. It lists all players honoured by the league and team, for both individual and career achievements, during the 28 years the Calgary Flames have been around. Many images, easy to understand tables. (at least I think so. ;o] )  I look forward to all feedback. Resolute 02:38, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Comments
 * Prose looks okay.
 * Why is it that in the lists you list mention content and list the recipients as none? If there is none, why are they listed?-- S R X  14:47, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
 * That was added on the suggestion of two other editors. As consensus now runs against their inclusion, I've removed such listings. Resolute 15:58, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

Comments from  I would think that you would need to add the players and awards (such as they are) from the Atlanta Flames as well, in light of Calgary's acknowledgment of the Atlanta Flames' history. --User:2008Olympianchitchatseemywork 23:39, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
 * While the Atlanta and Calgary Flames are the same franchise, and Calgary does acknowledge the Atlanta history, it is really treated as a form of "pre-history" by the Calgary Flames. i.e., the Flames don't care when the franchise reaches a milestone - i.e.: last season was the 35th season of play for the franchise as a whole but went unmarked, where the Calgary Flames' 30th season next year will be.  There is also an editorial decision within WP:HOCKEY to give each incarnation of a team its own article, or set of articles.  As such, the two articles: Atlanta Flames and Calgary Flames would encompass the history of the Flames franchise.


 * With that in mind, and given that the scope of this article specifically states that it is limited to awards won in Calgary, I'd just as soon keep the lists separate. I would be willing to consider an exception in this case, given the Atlanta Flames won only three individual awards in their history, so a separate list would be pointless, but I would very specifically denote that it was outside of the Calgary history.

 * It was a suggestion based just on that notion: that since there is so little there it might be missed and that we would rather be encyclopedic rather than just formulaic.--User:2008Olympianchitchatseemywork 01:40, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I can see that point. I worry about the slippery slope, but I'll add them in tomorrow. Resolute 04:02, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Further Comment In the Awards column of the tables, the name of the award should be left justified. For the longer names, the lack of justification makes them spread out awkwardly. (e.g., Art      Ross,  Lady       Bing).--User:2008Olympianchitchatseemywork 01:40, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
 * It isn't showing up that way on my browsers. Is this perhaps a custom setting you are using?  I'll look into it as well, however. Resolute 04:02, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Weak Oppose
 * NHL All-Rookie Team selections, NHL First All-Star Team, NHL Second All-Star Team, All-Star Game selections, Hockey Hall of Fame elections, Retired numbers are all honors, and are not specifically awards just to clarify.
 * True enough. I've revised the lead to clarify.


 * NHL Plus/Minus Award is a disambiguation. The article is NHL Plus-Minus Award.
 * Ahh, I hadn't realized that article had been moved. Corrected.


 * You should denote player who have won the same award multiple times. For example, "2007–08 Jarome Iginla (5)" instead of "2007–08 Jarome Iginla".
 * I'm not sure I see that as strictly necessary. In things like the all-star game appearances, I think that would just clutter the page.


 * remove the template, Template:NHL.
 * Done


 * Is Category:Calgary Flames the only category to put on this article?
 * So far, it seems so. I don't think very many articles of this type exist yet in the NHL.  Like was done for the New Jersey Devils article, I split a lot of stuff out of the main Flames article and called it Calgary Flames notable players and award winners.  Since a lot of that information was duplicative of other lists, I reformatted it into this style.  I know of one other article (List of Philadelphia Flyers award winners that has duplicated the style.  I'll create Category:Award winners by National Hockey League team and populate it as I am able.

Support By the way, thanks for making this article "Canadian" since I noticed that you put "honours", instead of "honors". Also by the way, I'm also Canadian. --  K. Annoyomous 24 [c] 02:44, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Hah! It's so annoying when I work on articles for American players or teams to have to adjust to that goofy spelling.  ;o) Resolute 04:02, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Not really for me. I'm kind of Americanized on Wikipedia. When I write on homework assignment, I usually use American English. I should really stop editing Wikipedia since it's making my wording non-Canadian, but I love wikiing! --  K. Annoyomous 24 [c] 04:15, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
