[edit] Fair use images
Someone has removed both of the images saying that they are not fair use for this article. I disagree with respect to the image from the 2006 Winter Olympics. The picture in question is a digital photo (thus a derivative work) of a full-length TV broadcast of the game in question. In terms of the portion of the work reproduced, it is a tiny fraction of the original TV broadcast. It is used to represent the subject of the broadcast. Because of these two facts, this image does constitute fair use, and I am restoring the image. Johntex\talk 00:42, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
- Sorry, removing the top image was an accident. However, the one below is a clear copyright violation. Screen shots are only fair use when they appear in an article related to the program the shot is taken from. We could use that image to illustrate an article on the television programme in question, but we cannot just add it to an article that merely happens to cover the subject matter. As the template makes clear, such images can only be used "for identification and critical commentary on the station ID or program and its contents." - SimonP 02:36, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
- If you need any more free pictures, I uploaded a few faceoff pics: Image:HitmenHurricanesFaceoff.jpg, Image:IginlaDraperFaceoff.jpg, Image:YelleDraperFaceoff.jpg. The last one isn't currently used in a Wikipedia article. Since they are my own work and there are already pictures here, I'll let someone else decide if they should be added to this page. -- JamesTeterenko 04:27, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Faceoff
Does anyone have further input about the rules of a faceoff? The article brushes by some simple rules, but it doesn't cover all the rules. MikeDawg 19:40, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
In the 2009 NHL Rulebook Section 32 rule 32.3 Face-offs – One of the Referees shall face-off the puck to start each period and following the scoring of a goal. Linesmen are responsible for all other face-offs. [1] darrennie (talk) 00:50, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
Also in IIHF (International Ice Hockey Federation) rules the players are not allowed to use their skates to win a faceoff[citation needed]. darrennie (talk) 00:55, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
Formerly known as a "puck-off?" Really? I smell vandalism. 99.27.200.30 (talk) 05:23, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
[edit] Requested move
Faceoff → Face-off — Most dictionaries refer to a "face-off" as a noun, with the phrasal usage "face off". Hockey Canada (at least) uses this style.[1]
- Jane and Jill will take the face-off.
- Jane will face off against Jill.

*Oppose move as proposed, due to non-standard capitalization. --DAJF (talk) 14:10, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
- Whoops Sorry, my first go at being pedantic on Wikipedia. It should be 'Face-off'. Correcting now. Thanks guys! Can anyone help fix the template box to reflect my change on the movereq? Caulfield14 (talk) 16:25, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
- Support move to Face-off with lower case on the second element. This is the spelling used in the Oxford English Dictionary (2nd edition, 1989). The hyphen is also used in news sources dating back to 1896. Cnilep (talk) 18:43, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
- Support — IAW WP:TITLE
— V = I * R (talk) 06:43, 19 August 2009 (UTC) - Support move to "Face-off". --DAJF (talk) 11:00, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
- Support. The proposed title is used by Britannica, Encarta and Columbia. Jafeluv (talk) 07:19, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
[edit] About face-off
Why some team sports (include Ice hockey, Lacrosse, etc) is use this way instead a team have a possession when their opponents have a goal after, brench a rule (include offsice) and a foul?--Pierce (talk) 12:27, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
