Real links, please

At 1995–96 Eliteserien season and elsewhere, most of the hockey team names don't actually point to the team. They often point to the city the team's from, or nowhere at all. Geschichte (talk) 12:57, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

Eredivisie seasons

Thanks for all the great work you're doing on Eredivisie seasons (and Oberliga, etc.). Do you think that some new categories are needed to hold these? I'm not sure how best to proceed with that, in a way that would fit in well with the existing NHL seasons categories. Got plans for that already? Gurt Posh (talk) 14:57, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

Thanks! Hmm... I've not been creating new categories for the seasons, but using existing cats (ex: 19xx in ice hockey), so I'm not sure whether new categories or needed, or not. --Hockeyben ^✉ 15:00, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

Well, I was thinking of perhaps creating:

Category:Eredivisie (ice hockey) seasons as a child category of Category:Seasons in ice hockey by league
Category:Oberliga seasons as a child category of Category:German ice hockey league seasons, which is itself a child of Category:Seasons in ice hockey by league.

That way readers can browse all the seasons by league, as well as by year. Does that sound useful? Gurt Posh (talk) 15:07, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, it does. The only problem is that there are a ton of articles to add the cats to. Suggestions? --Hockeyben ^✉ 15:08, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

Autopedia

Ok. Btw, did you guys get all the spam removed? And how do I switch to Monobook? Here's a link to all the missed news if you want to help.

-Red marquis (talk) 16:24, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure the spam is gone, but not 100% certain. To switch to monobook, go to your preferences (Special:Preferences), and the scroll down to "site layouts", check the "MonoBook" tab, and press save. Your skin should then be changed to Monobook. As for the car updates, I'm more than happy to help, but I just need to get my jeep pages/images back, so give me a couple days. What is your account on Wikia going to be? --Hockeyben ^✉ 16:27, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

	Great work on the Ice Hockey articles. Rayous (talk) 16:12, 7 September 2011 (UTC)

Korean Championship (ice hockey)

Where did you get the information for this page? Whatever these are, they aren't the top level Championships in Korea. The top level Championships are the Korea Domestic Championships which will be in their 65th year this year [1].--Crossmr (talk) 23:43, 8 September 2011 (UTC)

Hi. Your thinking of the All-Korea Championship. The Korean Championship started in 1993, the All-Korea Championship in 1945. --Hockeyben ^✉ 01:30, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

It still isn't the top level Championship in Korea. In addition, other wikis cannot be sources on this wiki, they fail WP:RS. It is also not referred to is the "All Korea Championship, it is in fact referred to in English as the Korea Domestic Championship as indicated in the source, which is also a translation of the Korean name. You haven't even provided any sources for this "Korea Championship" nor evidence that it is the top level tournament in Korea.--Crossmr (talk) 04:28, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

And as you'd note the term "All-Korea Championship" is less common[2] according to google, and doesn't seem to appear in any reliable sources at all. It's a term made-up for wikis, probably as an extension of the All-Japan championship. [3]. As such I'm moving the article.--Crossmr (talk) 04:47, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

Further to that, I'm not even sure I can verify this other tournament even exists, however, according to this [4], there was another ice hockey tournament taking place which Seoktop was involved in, in 1994 which matches the article, however the news article indicates it was the 39th championship. It didn't start in 1995. This championship is either fake, or grossly inaccurate. I'd ask you to ensure that any articles you are creating are in compliance with WP:V, and WP:RS.--Crossmr (talk) 06:01, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

If you take a look at the champions in the All-Korea Championship versus the Korean Championship, there is quite a difference. The 2001-02 Korean Championship winner according to HockeyArchives in Halla Winia. The 2001-02 All-Korea Championship winner was Korea University.--Hockeyben ^✉ 14:45, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

HockeyArchives is not a valid source...you should probably stop using it for information. -DJSasso (talk) 16:48, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

And why is it not a valid source, may I ask? --Hockeyben ^✉ 16:50, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

Because it fails WP:RS. I would also recommend you stop creating articles that are just statistics because that is against WP:NOTSTATS. You need to also write stuff in actual words and talk about the season or else its just an indiscriminate collection of statistics. -DJSasso (talk) 16:53, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

It is as reliable as the RSSF, which is used for every single football article on en.wp. Also, there are lots of standings pages for many sports without long descriptions of the season. For example, 1987 Dhivehi League. --Hockeyben ^✉ 16:56, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

I don't know much about that site so I can't speak to it. As for stating that there are others like that, just because one is bad doesn't mean they all should be. Technically they can all be deleted if they don't have any prose in them. I just thought I would warn you now so you could add prose to the new ones you create so that you don't eventually see one day a few hundred deletions of your pages because there is no information except statistics on them. Soccer is a very bad example to live up to, its known across the wiki as having very poor standards for a number of things. The hockey project attempts to be better. -DJSasso (talk) 16:58, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

The example I listed is one among thousands. At least 1/2 of the standings articles on en.wp don't have much prose. It seems this wikipedia has take all sorts of stances to keep content from being added, this being one of them.--Hockeyben ^✉ 17:00, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

Well yes because as I linked to earlier we are not an indiscriminate collection of information. Only the most notable is supposed to get added. Statistics with no context attached to them is just a jumble of numbers basically. There are other wikis that are more lenient for example the ice hockey wiki where they allow anything as long as its hockey. But this wiki is very serious about notability and not just being a dump of everything an anything. That is what sports almanac sites are for, this is an encyclopedia. :) -DJSasso (talk) 17:04, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

Well, I understand that. The thing is, the not stats guideline has generally not been enforced, if the league is notable, then the league season is notable. Generally, the afd's on football articles without much context have been kept. Finally, these articles are all found on other language wikipedia's as well, I want the English Wikipedia to be as strong as the German/French/Czech wikipedias. etc. --Hockeyben ^✉ 17:09, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

Strong is a matter of opinion, many look at some of those wikis and think about them being pretty poor wikis because they don't keep up the same article standards that they should be. You are right that it isn't often enforced. I was just making a note of warning to you so that you wouldn't be upset if they did get enforced. You are welcome to continue on doing what you are doing. But at the rate you are creating them I could see someone getting upset soon enough and go on a deleting spree and I would hate to see that. -DJSasso (talk) 17:15, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

Sorry for not getting back to you earlier. Thanks for the heads-up regarding the amount of context. For any future articles I create, I will add a short description of the season, and info on the champion/promoted/relegated teams. As for the NOTSTATS being enforced, the articles would have to be deleted via afd, not unilaterally deleted. --Hockeyben ^✉ 17:44, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

Oh I did mean via afd. However I could see a case could being made for some of them to fall under some speedy criteria A1, A3 & A7 for example. I wouldn't do it cause it would be too much hassle but there are those that would. -DJSasso (talk) 17:55, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

Well, you won't have to worry about that with any new articles I create. I'll make a concerted effort to include some more context. And I hope nobody tries to get the others deleted. --Hockeyben ^✉ 17:59, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

The problem is I can find no actual evidence of a Korean championship that started in 1992. I can find another hockey tournament referred to with a word meaning "Division" or "Divisional", but its only around 10-12 years behind the Korean Domestic Championship and in it's 50th year or so, and it's not the top level tournament in the country, and the winners seem to match what you've called the Korean Championship--Crossmr (talk) 23:59, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

Further, you had incorrect information on the Korea Domestic Championship. The 2000 winner were not the Dongwan dreams but Halla Winia.--Crossmr (talk) 00:18, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

You seem to know quite a bit about Korean hockey, feel free to make any necessary changes to the Korean Championship articles. :)--Hockeyben ^✉ 00:41, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

As I suggested, please ensure any information you use to create articles or add to them is compliant with WP:RS and WP:V. I haven't even looked at the rest of it, but what you've used to base the editing you've done on Korea on just doesn't seem remotely correct at all.--Crossmr (talk) 00:55, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

Don't you list that you know some french? [5] This is listing 4 different tournaments and then listing the cumulative records for each team across those 4 tournaments. The article you've created is basically a hoax as it's not based on a real championship. At this point I'm taking this to the wikiproject hockey talk, because I've pissed away an inane amount of hours trying to figure out what this is. I'm also redirecting the article.--Crossmr (talk) 01:24, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

Just fine that you redirected the article. I obviously made some mistakes with Korea, which I apologize for. --Hockeyben ^✉ 01:44, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

Lokomotiv Yaroslavl

You probably know all about the Lokomotiv Yaroslavl plane crash already. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 10:46, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

Yes, I have. A horrible day for ice hockey caps a horrible summer on the whole. --Hockeyben ^✉ 14:46, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
