Wings Season

Hey, I was wondering why you created the page for the 2010 season for the Wings now? Isn't that a bit of WP:CRYSTALBALL. Or at least, way to soon? _Nezzadar_☎_ 01:32, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

WikiProject Lacrosse + http://www.fanbase.com

Hello MrBoo. As the defacto head of WikiProject Lacrosse, I thought you might appreciate an invitation to what I'm hoping will be a joint success story with a related (in a lot of ways) new wiki site called Fanbase.com. I'm not promoting or spamming this, but rather trying to direct certain wiki users to another active wiki community where your specific insights in sport would be appreciated. I've spent the past three months doing a lot of work on the site, first when it was in beta mode, and then after the site officially launched on Aug 24. I think it ties in real nicely to what wiki users have been trying to accomplish in Wikipedia, namely documenting sport and, especially, lacrosse history. So feel free to browse the site -- http://www.fanbase.com -- and join in the fun!

You may also be interested to know that FanBase just introduced a professional lacrosse section covering the MLL & NLL. The NLL group consists of a grand total of 6. So someone such as yourself with a tremendous insight into the NLL would fit right in, IMO. And again, at some point I could see certain situations where Wikipedia & FanBase can tie in together.

Anyway, please let me know if you feel this request conflicts with Wikipedia TOS or even your own sensibilities. And thanks !! --10stone5 (talk) 12:07, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

NLL game logs

Hi MrBoo, I see that you are diligently creating all the articles here. I just had a couple minor questions/comments about the game log format that's used. Firstly, I feel like the '#' column is somewhat redundant for playoff games (as seen here). If we have the 'Game' column, shouldn't that be sufficient? If there were multi-game playoff series I might feel differently about this. The other thing I was thinking about was that the '@' and 'City' seem rather cramped. I think it would look better if there was a space in there (ie '@ City' as opposed to '@City'). That is how other sports seem to do it. Anyways, let me know what you think about these two comments. If you don't have any objections, I'll start making these changes. I'll also convert all the old Rock seasonal articles I created a year ago to your new format.

Sounds good. I don't mind doing all the work, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't stepping on any toes before mass converting all your hard work! Danlaycock (talk) 00:57, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Sanderson family

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

A tag has been placed on Sanderson family requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject of the article is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} at the top of the article, immediately below the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate), and providing your reasons for contesting on the article's talk page, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. You may freely add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

You may want to read the guidelines for specific types of articles: biographies, websites, bands, or companies. Corvus cornix_talk 01:45, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

2012 Calgary Roughnecks season

Hi MrBoo, just wanted to let you know that I saw that you created the new article 2012 Calgary Roughnecks season--The headings and sections seem appropriate. It would be great if you could also add references to the related article Lewis Ratcliff.

I'm kind of new here myself but let me know if there is any way I can help. Thanks, Jipinghe (talk) 21:36, 18 October 2011 (UTC)

Discussion on linking to streamed copies of albums

Wikipedia policy allows us to link to legal streamed copies of albums. It would be useful to draw up a guideline on how and when to link to such albums; however, there is concern that it may not be appropriate as the music would not be available in all parts of the world. Is the benefit of having access to the music for most users outweighed by the fact that some users will follow a link to find the music is not playable in their region? Your view would be helpful at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Albums. SilkTork ^{✔Tea time} 02:26, 16 December 2011 (UTC)
