Barnstar

Haha, thanks. What else do you think we should bring up to FL/FA status before it being allowed to be a featured topic though? BsroiaadnTalk 17:55, 23 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
New Jersey Devils seasons is probably going to be the longest and hardest one to do. Especially for the earlier years as there weren't that many fans and even less records of the Devils game-by-game...plus Newjerseydevils.com doesn't have nearly as much info as it should. Haha. Does every season need a game-by-game thing or would a general record with some facts and such be good enough? Prudential Center they may let pass by without it being GA/FA, since it's so new like you said. But, what about Continental Airlines Arena? The only place they've played (until next season begins) as the New Jersey Devils, that wouldn't need to be GA/FA? BsroiaadnTalk 02:15, 24 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Yea, I was talking about a game-by-game record for the individual seasons, sorry if I didn't clarify. And so the seasons don't need to be great, just good enough...gotcha. Yea, I guess the buildings wouldn't be required. Too bad we don't have any hockey-related featured topics to go by....but that'll make it just that much better when we make it a featured topic. Haha. How much more do you think should be added to 2003-04 New Jersey Devils season other than the home and road records (if we can find them)? BsroiaadnTalk 23:08, 24 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Names of NHL Czech players

That link I saw in history was red, could you please post me here the correct one? If there is an deal, that in NHL the names will be writen without diacritics, as could be seen in television, I understand. But I want to know where it is written. Thanks. --Aktron (t|c) 16:01, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your Metallica edit

I don't know why you deleted this information "While Trujillo did say this, on June 29, 2007, the band played "The Other New Song" again with only a new guitar solo and some minor changes to the vocals."


If you watch the video of Metallica's performance on 6/29/07, you'll see that it's the same song from last year's Summer tour with the minor changes added above, Rob said only bits and pieces of that song would be used on the new album and and the band ended up playing the song in whole which contradicts what Rob said, granted they still may not use that song on the new album but we don't know that. Why would you delete that information and call it vandalism? That makes no sense to me and is almost offensive because I'm a big Metallica fan.


Minnesota North/Dallas Stars merger

Can you also post your response at Talk:Dallas Stars, so someone at WP:RM can see everyone involved, rather than just the people that posted at WP:HOCKEY and not there. BsroiaadnTalk 19:21, 2 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Did You Know

Ok, so, I got bored today and decided I'd try my hand at making a new article and did at Blood rule. After I did I remembered that since it's less than 5 days old and over 1,500 characters (I checked using some website haha) that I could put it up at WP:DYK. But, the only think I could think of was "[Did you know] ...that although the NHL has a Blood rule, if bleeding occurs during a fight, the will not always immediately break it up." and I'm not sure if 1) It's interesting enough and 2) If it sounds good. Do you think I could get it pass if I tried to? Be honest, it won't bother me if you think it's stupid. Haha. I just figured I'd ask you since you're good at making things sound...well...good. Haha.

Image:Wilsonnflfootball.jpg

Hi. A while back, you uploaded Image:Wilsonnflfootball.jpg. On the image description page, you don't explicitly state that you are the author of the image. Could you replace the {{GFDL}} template with {{GFDL-self}} and explicitly state that you took the photograph, or, if you are not the author, specify who the author is? Thanks. --BigΔT 14:42, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. --BigΔT 14:56, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Devils 1982 1983 team photo.jpg

I believe the image fails WP:NFCC #8. This non-free image does not add significantly to the understanding of the article, is not iconic and has no critical commentary about it. Its use is decorative. Wikipedia policy trumps fair use claims. If you think there is an error here, please consider requesting a deletion review. -Nv8200p talk 16:06, 14 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

NJD task force

What do you think about it? Maybe it's just me thinking it may help the New Jersey Devils-related articles (without taking away from WP:HOCKEY obviously), but I think there's enough Devils fans to make this a worth-while project. Does it sound like a good idea to you or no? BsroiaadnTalk 06:14, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

But, ofcourse, before making it it'd have to be brought up at WikiProject Ice Hockey, I just figured I'd ask another Devils fan if it's worth it or not, first. BsroiaadnTalk 06:15, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Alright, cool. Well, I brought it up at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Ice Hockey#Two things, along with my new version of the {{ice hockey}} template which I personally think is better, it's not a major change but still better. And I doubt anyone will be against the task force, but it's supposed to be brought up anyway. BsroiaadnTalk 15:03, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry it took me so long, I was busy most of the weekend. Anyway, the New Jersey Devils task force has been created. Please add your name to the list of participants and make any other changes to the page that you'd like to do, I threw it up quickly cause I have to go finish something else soon. I'm probably gonna be kinda busy for the next couple days, unfortunately. BsroiaadnTalk 19:18, 23 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia: WikiProject Ice Hockey

I don't blame you for being 'peeved' at myself and Djsasso. It just that 'currently' a majority backs me, as does the official team websites. PS- I wouldn't blame you if you 'reported' both of us (Dj and I). GoodDay 20:09, 30 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In fact, I suggest you should (reports us). GoodDay 20:52, 30 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Buffalo Sabres draft history, List of Buffalo Sabres players

I just wanted to personally extend my thanks to you for your extensive suggestions regarding my nomination of Buffalo Sabres draft history as a Featured List. I hope I am not coming/have not come off as rude in my responses to your suggestions on the page. As I stated there, I missed the discussion on the WikiProject Ice Hockey talk page and did not realize such strict guidelines were in place regarding who should be included on the draft history page. I simply copied Calgary Flames draft history when I noticed it is a FL and wondered "hmm, wouldn't this be better with all the draft picks listed?" :)

(By the way, I've retained my original work on the draft history at User:Skudrafan1/Complete Buffalo Sabres draft history, which should make inclusion of draft choices on individual season articles easier when they are created, eventually.)

Anyway, when the discussion about Buffalo Sabres draft history is over, I want to then nominate List of Buffalo Sabres players as a FL. Considering your involvement with List of New Jersey Devils players, would you mind taking a quick look at it (when you have time) to let me know if anything is in desperate need of fixing before that time? Thanks! Skudrafan1 18:31, 2 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Spoken Article

Just perusing some examples of spoken articles as I prepare for a few of my own, and yours were some of the best I've found. Just thought I'd share that with you. Hope you plan on more! Reason turns rancid 01:14, 13 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:WikiProject Ice Hockey/Featured topic Drive

As you may or may not know, some of us at WP:HOCKEY have banded together and are trying to get the various NHL Trophy pages to FT status. It is a big job and any assistance you would be willing to offer would be most appreciated. You can find out more here. Thanks for the time, Scorpion0422 21:26, 19 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Reverts to May 19th

Heya. I'm thinking that a Star Wars film (as opposed to most other films) has such extraordinary cultural ties and media coverage to satisfy a rigorous notability test. In fact, strictly speaking in terms of WP:N, I doubt we could find anything else on that date with more frequent and reliable press coverage. Therefore, I'm reverting back. If I'm mistaken, I'm willing to be convinced so! Cheers! - superβεεcat  17:44, 27 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Ice Hockey newsletter

WikiProject Ice Hockey Newsletter

Dear FutureNJGov/archive4! You are receiving as you are a member of WikiProject Ice Hockey There's been more new thing going on at WP:HOCKEY, and I think this will help you to stay informed. Since the last newsletter sent out in August, there's been great changes. Read on to find out! Maxim(talk)

This just in:
Maurice 'Rocket' Richard Trophy has just been promoted to featured list status, while the bot was delivering the newsletter. Maxim(talk) 02:02, 28 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

And I've just promoted Art Ross Trophy. And Clarence S. Campbell Bowl is at FLC. This should be the last update. Maxim(talk) 00:40, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

New recognized content

By Maxim

Especially due to the featured topic drive, there have been many new featured lists promoted concerning NHL awards. Here's the full list of all the 13 FL's promoted since the last newsletter.[1][2]

  1. Hart Memorial Trophy
  2. James Norris Memorial Trophy
  3. Vezina Trophy
  4. Conn Smythe Trophy
  5. Frank J. Selke Trophy
  6. Lady Byng Memorial Trophy
  7. Lester B. Pearson Award
  8. Calder Memorial Trophy
  9. Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy
  10. King Clancy Memorial Trophy
  11. Jack Adams Award
  12. Presidents' Trophy
  13. List of Calgary Flames players

There have been no new good articles or featured articles. Maurice 'Rocket' Richard Trophy has been given A-Class status due to multiple issues raised at FLC.

  1. ^ The last one, List of Calgary Flames players, is the only one not associated with the featured topic drive.
  2. ^ At the time of publishing, there were 5 lists at WP:FLC and 2 lists in the "Holding cell", as there's been an accepted guideline to not put more that 5 trophy lists at the same time to, "compensate for the sanity of the reviewers".

Featured Topic Drive

By Maxim

Started by User:Scorpion0422, the aim of this drive is to make NHL awards a featured topic. A featured topic is basically a set of very high quality articles (good articles and featured articles/lists). In this case, the topic is NHL awards. Many users have helped, including Scorpion0422, Resolute, Serte, Hasek is the best, Maxim, Croat Canuck, Spike Wilbury, FutureNJGov, and T Rex/Dinosaur puppy. The progress has been very good; there are 12 featured lists promoted, and 2 good articles:

  1. Hart Memorial Trophy (Scorpion)
  2. James Norris Memorial Trophy (Scorpion)
  3. Vezina Trophy (Scorpion)
  4. Conn Smythe Trophy (Serte)
  5. Frank J. Selke Trophy (FutureNJGov)
  6. Lady Byng Memorial Trophy (Scorpion)
  7. Lester B. Pearson Award (Scorpion)
  8. Calder Memorial Trophy (Croat Canuck)
  9. Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy (Maxim)
  10. King Clancy Memorial Trophy (Maxim)
  11. Jack Adams Award (Maxim)
  12. Presidents' Trophy (Scorpion)
  13. Stanley Cup (Earlier collaboration, very many involved)
  14. Traditions and anecdotes associated with the Stanley Cup (Maxim)

Check the project page if you are interested in helping out. Although it's closer to being done than not, there's still work to be done. The next topic that might be tackled is Stanley Cup, but this remains purely speculative and in discussion.

Enter Sandman

Knowing you are a Metallica fan and experienced with featured articles, I, a fellow member you must know from the Wikiproject Ice Hockey, would like to request you to help me improve the article to FA status. I've expanded it greatly during August and September and I think it's almost there. However, there are probably copyediting issues that need to be addressed. If you could lend me a hand, telling me what could be improved and doing some copyediting work, (English is not my primary language), I'd be thankful. --Serte [ Talk · Contrib ] 09:51, 7 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm back

Hey man, how ya been? Hockey season's back, and so am I. I'm not sure how active you are right now, but have you finished the draft list? I still want to get the Devils to be a featured topic. I may not edit as often as I'd like to, but I hope to make more edits soon. In the mean time, to help get me back into it, is there anything that you can think of that I can help with? Or even do by myself if you'd rather me not touch something you're finishing. BsroiaadnTalk 04:23, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hahaha, it's alright. Law school, huh? That's pretty cool man, I guess you're serious about the Future New Jersey Governor thing. The problem I ran into with the individual seasons last time was there weren't many sources, and there were fewer and fewer the further back I went. Stats, hockeyDB has that covered, but as far as attendance and game-by-game...that's going to be very difficult to find unless I can find some books or something with them. I'll try, though. That's good, that page really needed to be worked on...he definitely deserves it. About the picture, maybe someone could ask the people with pictures of Scotty on flickr to change the licenses or upload one under a free license? We may get lucky. Yea, it's great man, so excited. You got seasons tickets? That's awesome. I wish I could get them...let's just say I'll be at my computer tomorrow at 9AM (when single-game tickets go on sale). Haha. The one I want the most is the home-opener...but that's also the one everyone else wants to most too, so I'd be lucky to get those. BsroiaadnLet's Go Devils! 02:35, 12 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

FL Main page proposal

You either nominated a WP:FLC or closed such a nomination recently. As such, you are the type of editor whose opinion I am soliciting. We now have over 400 featured lists and seem to be promoting in excess of 30 per month of late (41 in August and 42 in September). When Today's featured article (TFA) started (2004-02-22), they only had about 200 featured articles and were barely promoting 20 new ones per month. I think the quality of featured lists is at least as good as the quality of featured articles was when they started appearing on the main page. Thus, I am ready to open debate on a proposal to institute a List of the Day on the main page with nominations starting November 1 2007, voting starting December 1 2007 and main page appearances starting January 1 2008. For brevity, the proposal page does not discuss the details of eventual main page content, but since the work has already been done, you should consider this proposal assuming the eventual content will resemble the current content at the featured content page. Such output would probably start at the bottom of the main page. The proposal page does not debate whether starting with weekly list main page entries would be better than daily entries. However, I suspect persons in favor of weekly lists are really voicing opinions against lists on the main page since neither TFA nor Picture of the day started as weekly endeavors, to the best of my knowledge. Right now debate seems to be among support for the current selective democratic/consensus based proposal, a selective dictatorial approach like that used at WP:TFA or a non-selective first in line/calendar approach like that used at WP:POTD. See the List of the Day proposal and comment at WP:LOTDP and its talk page.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 18:41, 13 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

List of WCW World Heavyweight Champions

Hi, I noticed that you commented a while back when List of World Tag Team Champions (WWE) was a Featured List candidate. I have recently nominated the List of WCW World Heavyweight Champions for Featured List status. Members of WikiProject: Professional Wrestling are a little hesitant to comment, as they want to avoid accusations of a conflict of interest. I'd like to get some unbiased opinions, so I was wondering if you could help. If you have chance this week, would you be able to look over this list and give your comments? Thank you.

Scott Stevens

You mentioned last time we talked that you needed a picture of Scott Stevens for the article. Well, make sure you get to the game on December 7th because, if you didn't know, it's "Scott Stevens Hall of Fame Night" so you'll have a chance to get a picture of him there. You should probably ask anyone else that you know is going to take pictures so you have more to choose from. I'm going, but I'd be too far to get a decent picture, unfortunately. Ofcourse, this is assuming that Scotty would be there....but I see no reason why he wouldn't be, there'd probably be a lot of angry people if he didn't show up. Haha. BsroiaadnTalk 03:16, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I suppose we could do that....but then someone could always come along and claim that we could take a picture of him and upload it as free-use at any point. Unfortunately, there happens to be a lot of people like that on here. Not sure why they spend their time trying to delete perfectly good pictures, but ya know. Anyway, have a good time at the game tomorrow night. I don't see any reason why you wouldn't be going. I'll be there too...I'd look for you, but I have no idea what you look like. Haha. Also, if you ever start working on the season articles again, these may help. I haven't read them all yet, but the one I read is pretty good and is probably useful. It gives us a solid reference as well. I'm posting this as a note for myself as well, so don't think I'm pushing it onto you. BsroiaadnTalk 04:42, 27 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There have been a series of proposals to initiate a Featured List of the Day on the main page. Numerous proposals have been put forth. After the third one failed, I audited all WP:FL's in order to begin an experiment in my own user space that will hopefully get it going. Today, it commences at WP:LOTD. Afterwards I created my experimental page, a new proposal was set forth to do a featured list that is strikingly similar to my own which is to do a user page experimental featured list, but no format has been confirmed and mechanism set in place. I continue to be willing to do the experiment myself and with this posting it commences. Please submit any list that you would like to have considered for list of the day in the month of January 2008 by the end of this month to WP:LOTD and its subpages. You may submit multiple lists for consideration.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:LOTD) 17:23, 15 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Opps

I totally knew that but I couldn't figure out why they were making that edit to the page, must have been blind and not seen the legend for what that meant. Assumed it was vandalism. --Djsasso (talk) 23:57, 13 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Rollback

I have granted rollback rights to your account; the reason for this is that after a review of some of your contributions, you can be trusted to use rollback correctly by using it for its intended usage of reverting vandalism, and that you will not abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback and Wikipedia:Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Good luck.

SM64 spoken article

Hi, I was wondering if you could do another recording of the Image:Super Mario 64.ogg. It was a very good reading of the Super Mario 64 article, and since SM64 has recently obtained Featured article status again, I was hoping the spoken word version could be updated as well. If you don't have the time or don't want to, I more than understand, but do hope you'll consider it. (Guyinblack25 talk 22:17, 11 February 2008 (UTC))[reply]
