Chad LaRose/Larose[edit]

Oops - sorry, misread your reason for deleting this redirect. Before I perform the move, can you supply evidence that it is LaRose and not Larose? The only external reference seems to give the lower case version. Thanks. — Tivedshambo _(t/c) 08:19, 19 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, no problem! His player profile and this picture indicate that he's written with a capital R. --Thomas ^✉ 08:26, 19 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done — Tivedshambo _(t/c) 08:32, 19 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks a lot! --Thomas ^✉ 08:37, 19 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

3rd goal for Russia in game 30[edit]

Thank you for your efforts on editing 2008 IIHF World Championship article. As for game 30 (Russia-Belarus), I saw the replay multiple times, and it is absolutely clear that the 3rd goal for Russia was scored by Maxim Afinogenov (No. 61), not Alexander Ovechkin (No. 8). I hope IIHF will notice and fix the error in their official Game Summary. Otherwise your updates are great there. Svmich (talk) 16:32, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I saw that goal too and was also wondering why they gave the goal to Ovechkin. They changed it to Ovechkin just after the game. We will see... --Thomas ^✉ 21:57, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't revert my change regarding this goal. We both know the truth. And we are not obliged to reflect official IIHF information in the article when we can clearly see such an error and judge by ourselves. Svmich (talk) 08:05, 11 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

AfD nomination of Timo Pielmeier (2nd nomination)[edit]

I have nominated Timo Pielmeier, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Timo Pielmeier (2nd nomination). Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. Pparazorback (talk) 02:16, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please check the discussion pages...[edit]

Before moving pages. You would have Seen that consensus was reached to have Mueller's page at Marcel Mueller and Not Müller. Make sure when you move a page it isn't controversial. If it is start a discussion like this one.--Everyone Dies In the End (talk) 02:08, 13 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Your edits to the 2011 European Trophy article[edit]

Hello! I've reverted your good-faith edits to the 2011 European Trophy article. First of all, regarding Red Bull Salzburg, if you look at the other teams in their division, you'll see that they are only 1–2 points behind Salzburg and still have one game to play. In other words, there is a great risk that they'll pass Salzburg, which means that they'll take the playoff spot of the worst second ranked team, and it's not at all certain that will be the second team of the West Division. Secondly, regarding Luleå HF, Adler Mannheim and TPS (in the other divisions) will, if they take three points in their last game, pass Luleå statistically (Mannheim will have 15 points, TPS will have 14 points but better goal difference than Luleå). So nothing more than Frölunda's spot is known at this time. Most of this are likely to be sorted through after today's games. Best regards, Hey Mid (contribs) 08:19, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

First, who will surpass Lulea in the North Division? They already played their 8 qualifying games and both teams from Prague can't get more points... Mannheim plays in the South Division. The best two teams from every division qualify for the Red Bulls Salute, not the 8 teams with the best points record. Secondly, Salzburg is seated for Final tournament, because they host this event. --Thomas ^✉ 10:25, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"Salzburg is seated for Final tournament, because they host this event." – that's exactly what I'm talking about. And there can't be nine teams in the playoffs. If TPS, Färjestad or Eisbären—any of them—surpass Salzburg in the West Division, the worst second ranked team out of all four divisions will be replaced by Salzburg. You may have forgotten or missed the fact that TPS, Färjestad and Eisbären all have one game left each to play, and they are only 1–2 points behind Salzburg in the same division, so they still may surpass Salzburg in the West Division. This also means that Luleå may lose their second playoff spot. In fact, read this article, which covers yesterday's games: "But Luleå have to wait until after Sundays games to know if they too are through to the Red Bull Salute on December 16–18. They are in second place in the North division on 14 points (+2)." Luleå have to hope that TPS or Mannheim doesn't take 3 points today. I know this is complicated math, but what I'm saying is the truth. See also Talk:2011 European Trophy#Regarding Luleå HF and Red Bull Salzburg. Hey Mid (contribs) 10:48, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have reverted your edits again. First of all, you are right that Luleå can't be surpassed in the North Division. However, if teams from the West Division surpass Salzburg from the West Division, Luleå may miss the playoffs if both TPS and Mannheim win in 60 minutes (i.e. take 3 points) today. Also, Färjestad, TPS and Eisbären still can surpass Salzburg, provided that they win today. If you still disagree, I suggest you report this dispute to the dispute resolution noticeboard instead of reverting again. Best regards, Hey Mid (contribs) 13:20, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, you're right!! I'm sorry! Thought Salzburg takes the seat of the second placed team in the West... I'm very sorry! --Thomas ^✉ 17:07, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. Sorry if I was a bit angry and perhaps not clear with my explanation – I was somewhat frustrated that you apparently didn't understand what I said to you first. But, Luleå has been sorted out at least; TPS lost to Linköping this evening. Cheers, Hey Mid (contribs) 17:21, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Controversial moves[edit]

Be warned that your recent article moves here and here are controversial. Recent discussion have confirmed that all moves involving diacritics are controversial and therefore must first gain consensus at WP:RM. You are required to follow the RM route for all future moves involving diacritics. Dolovis (talk) 18:26, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It is incorrect that all moves must go to WP:RM however if someone objects to them then they do. Please stop spreading incorrect information just because you personally have been banned from moving articles away from diacritics. -DJSasso (talk) 18:55, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Going the RM route, instead of unilaterally moving hockey bio pages, would help in cutting down the drama, though. GoodDay (talk) 17:39, 1 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Actually it would likely make more drama as the moves would then be fought out in RfMs. Whereas most of the time the moves that don't go the RM route are ignored and people don't care about them which is in turn less drama. -DJSasso (talk) 18:00, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
