WikiProject Ice Hockey newsletter
WikiProject Ice Hockey Newsletter Dear Pparazorback/Archive 1! 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:
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]
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.
Did You Know? By Maxim
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:
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. |

An anon user had earlier added an 'A' to Ray Whitney. I suspected Whitney wasn't an alternate captain, but wasn't sure. Before Kevyn Adams was traded, the 'Canes' did have (serving under Captain Rod Brind'Amour) 3 alternate captains (Adams, Stillman & Wesley). Teams do have more then 2 alternates with their captain though (see the Thrashers, Blackhawks, Blue Jackets, Panthers, Kings, Devils, Coyotes and Blues. GoodDay 22:01, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
- not a problem. I knew that Whitney wore the "A" just after Kevyn Adams was traded, and continued while Wesley was injured, but I noticed he did not have the "A" on his jersey the last couple of games. I will make note of that trend in future games I watch (I DVR all of them, have NHL Center Ice). Pparazorback 03:44, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
- I guessing it's temporary (Whitney's 'A'), Stillman is injured & out of the lineup. GoodDay 19:28, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
- Due to Stillman's absence from the lineup (day-to-day injury), I've unwiki-linked Whitney's 'A' (interim alternate). GoodDay 19:37, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
- I guessing it's temporary (Whitney's 'A'), Stillman is injured & out of the lineup. GoodDay 19:28, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
- Not a problem, 'til Stillman returns, then. GoodDay 19:51, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
- Checked the 'Canes' official website, I haven't been able to find where it says Stillman was put on IR. GoodDay 04:43, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
- Nevermind, I've found it. Stillman is on the IR. GoodDay 04:47, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
- Yep, looks like Whitney's a permanent 'A'. GoodDay 00:43, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
- Nevermind, I've found it. Stillman is on the IR. GoodDay 04:47, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
- Checked the 'Canes' official website, I haven't been able to find where it says Stillman was put on IR. GoodDay 04:43, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
Franchise Record Edits
Greetings - You may have noticed that I modified the Franchise Sweep records on 5 NHL Teams. The original individual who added the records to the 5 teams included Carolina as one of 5 franchises that have never been swept in the playoffs (of those who have ever qualified for the playoffs). I edited this back down to 4 teams, because the current page for the Carolina Hurricanes show franchise records for individuals in Hartford, and if those records are going to be included, then the playoff history for Hartford also needs to be considered. Hartford was swept twice, once in 1979/80 and again in 1988/89, both by Montreal. If my thought process is wrong on this, please let me know. Pparazorback 02:22, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
- You're correct on your interpretation. GoodDay 17:19, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

2006-07 NHL Season-by-Team articles
Thank you very much for your recent efforts to update the 2006-07 NHL Season-by-Team articles. I had been keeping up with them myself for quite some time, but recently many of them had fallen woefully behind. Thanks for updating them! Skudrafan1 00:55, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
- Wow, your method sure beats typing the wikicode one game at a time, as I have been doing! I'll stick with maintaining the 2006-07 Buffalo Sabres season and you can handle the others, if you want. :) Skudrafan1 01:16, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
The Golfer Infobox
Thank you for adding it to Zach Johnson's page, just keep in mind that the Major Championships results section is not only meant for wins, but for the player's best result in each major. Thanks once again. Supertigerman 01:00, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for moving those four articles to the proper category. I don't know why I didn't realize that is really all I needed to do. Skudrafan1 03:14, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for settleing this dispute, about the Devils alternate captains. I knew, Langenbrunner had replaced Rafalski, but couldn't find a source. Njdhockey had a (outdated) source & as he/she was a novice at Wikipedia, it was difficult to persuade him/her my way. Though, I knew I was correct, I chose not to enter an 'Edit war' with him/her (instead, going along with him/her), I think (in the short term) I made the right choice. Again, thanks for settleing the matter. GoodDay 17:12, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
Ice Hockey Project discussion of hockey player notability and project scope
Please come join the WikiProject Ice Hockey Notability standards for hockey players discussion. I'd like to see input from all our project members who have an opinion. Thanks! ColtsScore 23:56, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
Hello Pparazorback, I've checked the Canes official website's roster. They still have an 'A' (alternate captain) listed next to Ray Whitney. GoodDay 21:05, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
- The people at the 'Canes website' probably accidently removed the 'A' while adding Leighton's jersey number. PS- I'll add my name to the WikiProject membership. GoodDay 22:35, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

WikiProject Ice Hockey August 2007 Newsletter
WikiProject Ice Hockey Newsletter Dear Pparazorback/Archive 1! You are receiving this newsletter because you have signed up as a member of WikiProject Ice Hockey. The purpose of this newsletter is to update on the goings on of the project, as there have been major changes, and a lot of new recognized content in the past few weeks. If you are an inactive user, you probably won't recognize the new and improved state of the WikiProject! From the project, Maxim. New recognized content By Maxim
Article Improvement By Maxim Upon some discussion on the WikiProject talk page, the Article Improvement Drive page was revamped by Krm500 and Maxim. It was renamed Wikipedia:WikiProject Ice Hockey/Article Improvement, and it includes two section. The first section is called articles in dire need of improvement. It list articles, usually important, that are in very poor shape. The second section is called requested help. Users list an article they request help improving a certain article, which will facilitate collaboration, which is the aim of any WikiProject. There is one article currently listed there, Henrik Lundqvist, here. The goal is to at least get it to Good article status. Diacritics By Maxim In the past few weeks, there has been quite heated discussion about the use of diacritics in article name. The current guideline is using diacritics in the pages of articles of all player names which require them, but redirects are exempt. Task forces By Maxim This task force was initiated by Krm500. Its current goal is to improve Henrik Lundqvist to Good or Featured article status. It covers all Swedish clubs, leagues and competitions and associated articles, players and coaches that are Swedish, or have played/coached for a Swedish club, and arenas in Sweden. They plan to eventually operate as a sort of a sub-project, which will have its own articles for creation, ranking importance and quality of articles, and co-ordinate article improvement. Its current members are Krm500, Bamsefar75, and CLAES. This task force was initiated by Bsroiaadn. Its goal is to improve New Jersey Devils to Featured Topic status. Although it currently meets the required article count, the task force wishes to improve it further. Its area of coverage is very similar to the Sweden Ice Hockey task force. Its members are Bsroiaadn, JHMM13, FutureNJGov, Sportskido8, Michael Greiner, JRWalko, and Soxrock. Requested Images By Maxim

Hello WikiProject Ice Hockey/Participant
I am an advisor to the National Hockey League. With your help over the next few months I plan to review and correct any information on wikipedia relating to the National Hockey League, its franchises, players, executives and partership organisations. I am here to provide you with information. Your work is appreciated. --NHLsource 18:14, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
Hurricanes
As you can probably tell from my name, I am a huge Hurricanes fan; however, I do realize about the edit and am not at all offended. It would get pretty long especially with Detroit and Chicago. I have a question on the 2007-08 season. If it is not going to be a problem, I do have the whole season (like no one hasn't!) and I was wondering if I could fill the rest in or will that also have problem with space. It is on 2007-08 Carolina Hurricanes season and hopefully you can return this message ASAP. Go 'Canes. Hurricane06 12:36, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
List of National Hockey Leauge stasts leaders
Concerning the active lists? I think you & I have made a blunder. Bob Hartley is 'currently' inactive (he was fired weeks ago). GoodDay (talk) 22:47, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
- You're absolutely right and imagine me (of all people) forgeting that. PS- Thanks goodness we've got 'semi-protection'. GoodDay (talk) 22:57, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
2007-08 Season for Carolina Hurricanes
As you have possibly realized, I started trying to take over using the Season Standings for the Hurricanes on this link; however, I don't know how to find the attendance to put into the board. Just asking for advice and sources to find this so I can help a lot more. Also, one more thing, can you tell me how to create the colors and the code names for them. I just copied and pasted onto the one I updated; however, I would like to know what the codes are and how to put them on. Thanks, Hurricane06 (talk) 12:58, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
Hello Pparazorback, why did you remove the semi-protection? It was put there to prevent the anon editors from updating the article. GoodDay 18:44, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
- Sorry for my mistake. It's these drive-by anons, they're driving me up the wall. GoodDay 20:06, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
Thanks!
Thank you for the codes and site. Now it feels like I can do it all by myself. I am wondering about being on the NHL Wiki group. I put my name on it but wasn't sure if it came off or they just assume I would do it. Answer back ASAP! Thanks, Hurricane06 (talk) 14:58, 5 December 2007 (UTC).
Archiving
Thanks Pparazorback, I'll be checking it over. GoodDay (talk) 23:32, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
Thought of working together:
I was wondering if I can take over with the Hurricanes season work. I can do the schedule and the record stuff easily now, as you can see on the page. Since you also work with Carolina Hurricanes things, I thought if you can do the main page while I do the current seasons for the Hurricanes, we won't run into each other while working on what we need to do. If you have any other thoughts or comments or your say on this thought, write back. This, I thought, would be easier since both of us are working on the Hurricanes site. Oh, and by the way, have you looked at my quote on my main page. It is kind of cool. I used it in one of my speeches at school. Tell me how you feel about it and if you think it is a quote to go into the books. Thanks Hurricane06 (talk) 02:54, 9 December 2007 (UTC).
LSU Football
Hey, I think that change was correct. Alabama has a big rivalry against Tennessee, some argue bigger than Auburn. Auburn has a historic rivalry with Georgia. A pretty funny play on that rivalry is that when Minnesota was beating Alabama in Nashville's Music City Bowl a couple years ago, the Minnesota band, paying homage to the host state, unknowingly serenaded Alabama with Rocky Top as the game was winding down. Mdlawmba (talk) 21:02, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
Carolina vs. Philadelphia
The game between Carolina and Philly was a astounding one. If that puck in the shootout didn't keep going forward, I believe that Philadelphia would've found a way to win. Anyway, just thought that was kind of weird. Hurricane06 (talk) 03:30, 16 December 2007 (UTC).
RfA thanks

Thought on the Season
For the "Decision" column, can it be changed to "Goaltender" or something else cause that confuses me and usually I will put the winner on the "Decision" column. If there is any questions (and if you can answer my last question on the season work) give me a message. Thanks,Hurricane06

Conference standings
Why did you revert my edits to both standings templates which made a much clearer separation line below the 8th seed? In firefox, your method looks choppy beyond the 'W' numbers column. IrisKawling (talk) 22:34, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
- Ah, ok, very nice. IrisKawling (talk) 23:16, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
A Quick Question
I looked and I couldn't find a place for changing the name of a article that I have created. Can you help me. Reply back to me ASAP! Thanks, Hurricane06 (talk) 13:04, 6 February 2008 (UTC).

New recognized content By The Pancake of Heaven!
Task forces We are working to create a new task force within the WikiProject to deal with topics related to the Pittsburgh Penguins. It hasn't been created yet; but it aims to expand articles based on former and current Pittsburgh Penguins players and articles. Good luck! New Administrators Currently 0 promoted admins! Be the first one at WP:RFA. Featured Topic Drive By Maxim The original featured topic drive, initiated by Scorpion0422, has concluded succesfully. National Hockey League awards is now a featured topic, with 24 articles in total. Of them, 20 are featured lists, one is a featured article, and the other three are trophy articles that were too short to become featured lists. Eight users signed up to help out, shown here. The next Featured Topic hasn't been decided upon, and the ideas and organization for it fell apart. If you have any ideas, don't hesitate to share them at WT:HOCKEY. Notes

NHL article rule discussion
Please have a look at WT:HOCKEY#Editing "records" articles when a record is broken if you have time. I would like to discuss the inflexibility of the "don't update until the season is over" rule. − Twas Now ( talk • contribs • e-mail ) 20:36, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
NHL standings
By "Conference title", does it mean #1 seed?...as the conference title isn't given until the playoffs, when the standings aren't updated? Grsz11 01:40, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
- Yes, I guess better wording should have been used there. -Pparazorback (talk) 03:01, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Quick Deletion
I have accidentaly created a different new season for the Carolina Hurricanes and don't know how to delete it. If you can do it for me, the link is this one Thanks, Hurricane06 (talk) 12:54, 23 April 2008 (UTC).
I have accidentaly created a different new season for the Carolina Hurricanes and don't know how to delete it. If you can do it for me, the link is this one. I moved the actual article to the right one, but I can't delete the other one. Contact me on my page when you have done this and checked the right article for the right season. Oh, and by the way. I am glad that the Washington Capitals are out of the playoffs, however, I am not sure why someone would delete what I said about Ovechkin. I do realize that this isn't a blog page for him; however, I want the community to know how much of a ego he has. Can you explain this to me and possibly help find a way for me to actually get this out to the rest of the Wikipedians. If you can't that is fine. Thanks, Hurricane06 (talk) 12:54, 23 April 2008 (UTC).
New Schedule Setup
Do you know who created the setup for the new schedule, because it is becoming a huge problem to go through. Next year, I want to make sure that this isn't the way to do it, unless others like it, in which I will have to work with it. Reply to me ASAP. Hurricane06 (talk) 14:35, 3 November 2008 (UTC).
P.S. Sorry to sound rude, but it is great to talk to you again.
Hey, I contested the speedy of this article. Even though it is recreation of a deleted article, playing in the DEL is sufficient to meet WP:ATHLETE. Grsz11 23:19, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

Re: Mike Brown (goaltender)
Yeah I fully intend to list the article at deletion review. I mean, the article clearly passes all stages of notability on Wikipedia. I was honestly shocked when I saw that it was deleted. Do Admins even read the commentary—I tried to make it as clear as possible? I was a little steamed. I'll probably list it later tonight or tomorrow morning, but I'll let you know when I do. – Nurmsook! talk... 04:52, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

AfD !voting
Hi there! As much as I appreciate the per me you listed in this AfD, I think you may have !voted twice in the same discussion. Thought I would point it out so you could correct it yourself. Jim Miller See me | Touch me 21:10, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
- That was purely unintentional. I did not mean to !vote twice and have never done so to the best of my recollection. The question I have is should I edit the record now at this point? The afd was closed as delete in the last 15 minutes. I just got home in the last few minutes and did not see your comment until now -Pparazorback (talk) 01:23, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
- I figured it was. Really no need to change anything at this point. Unless it goes to DRV, it won't matter now. Jim Miller See me | Touch me 14:56, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
Making all 4 bags into the hole in Cornhole is indeed a Platypus!!!
Paparatziback, you're killing me! The common term down here in Houston for making all 4 bags into the hole is called a Platypus. Everyone knows that. Also, Michael King did start a game (aka "a challenge") with 17 consecutive tosses into the hole, which is called 4 Platypi. This is similar to someone in bowling making 3 consecutive strikes and calling that a Turkey.
