List of Columbus Blue Jackets players
Another another ice hockey list. It follows the precident of List of Tampa Bay Lightning players, List of Atlanta Thrashers players, List of San Jose Sharks players, and the like. Any comments are always welcome. Kaiser matias (talk) 22:01, 11 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Comments I don't know anything about ice hockey, so this is just general spelling/grammar type stuff.
 * Are the Bue Jackets a "franchise"? Not according to the wikipedia article
 * They are a sports franchise, which is more thoroughly defined at Professional sports league organization. This could be linked if desired.
 * Probably a good idea. -- Matthew | talk | Contribs 03:50, 13 March 2008 (UTC)


 * What is an expansion team? An expansion of an existing team? If so, which?
 * Expansion team is a new sports franchise in a league. Also possible to link.
 * Yup -- Matthew | talk | Contribs 03:50, 13 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Are the Columbus Blue Jackets related to the Minnesota Wild? It sounds like they are right now.
 * Both the Blue Jackets and Wild joined the league in the same year, 2000. It is in the opening to give some historical context towards the team, but can be removed.
 * It just needs rewording I think. -- Matthew | talk | Contribs 03:50, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

That's it. -- Matthew | talk | Contribs 19:37, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
 * That covers everything. Kaiser matias (talk) 21:38, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Did what was asked. Should be better now. Kaiser matias (talk) 22:17, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Support Follows the MOS and other WP guides, meets the criteria, though I can't comment on the content of the actual list as it's not a subject I know anything about! -- Matthew | talk | Contribs 21:52, 16 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment Why are these lists called "list of team players"? All references that are used in these lists say "all-time roster". I couldn't find the media guide of Columbus Blue Jackets, but I found the Thrashers' media guide and I see that it uses the "all-time roster" term again. What I'm saying is that this type of lists should be called "team all-time roster" because that term is more common than "list of team players". -- Crzycheetah 06:11, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I have no idea why the lists are written that way, but it seems to be the standard across Wikipedia. Various NFL, NHL, EPL, and other leagues have articles using that guidline. The only exception I found was for MLB and NBA team lists. Kaiser matias (talk) 06:28, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I think this should be discussed in some other place because I believe all these lists should be renamed. What should be done now is to add some categories, such as Category:National Hockey League lists and Category:National Hockey League players.-- Crzycheetah 19:38, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Categories are added. Kaiser matias (talk) 23:58, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I just counted that there are 118 skaters (proof is on the talk page). Could you prove that there are actually 119 skaters? :) Other than that, I support.-- Crzycheetah 00:27, 31 March 2008 (UTC)


 * You're right, I just miscounted. Kaiser matias (talk) 05:26, 31 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Support Could you also add those categories to other similar lists as well? -- Crzycheetah 06:54, 31 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Support You picked an interesting time to nominate this (considering the large discussion about player lists going on at WP:FLRC) but I don't see anything major wrong with it. I'd like to see some more images, but I guess we can only add what we have. Good work. -- Scorpion0422 14:42, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
