[edit] Defenceman

Well, I would definitely bring it up on the talk page because, as someone who doesn't know anything about hockey, I have no idea which is the colloquially used term: "defenceman" or "defence player". Of course, even if people are more likely to say "defenceman", on Wikipedia it is considered a good thing to use gender-neutral language when possible, so it might still be okay to rename it to "defence player". If no one who watches that article cares either way about whether the language is gender-neutral, then that's okay; you can still feel free to rename the article since no one expressed opposition to it. If someone else does oppose renaming the article, then you'll have to hash it out. As for how to actually do the move once you establish consensus (or at least establish lack of opposition), see Help:Moving a page. Hope that helps! Catamorphism 05:57, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ontario Junior Hockey Teams

Hello, I am from the Owen Sound area, and currently am living in Windsor. Sadly... I know a lot about teams from where I am from... but not about teams from the rest of the province.

My niche on Wikipedia is doing pages for all levels of hockey below Major Junior.

I am kinda inviting you to help if you know anything about the history of teams or leagues in these four regions: Ontario Hockey Association, Northern Ontario Hockey Association, Hockey Northwestern Ontario, and Ottawa District Hockey Association. I have just finished doing the stats for the OPJHL and the Golden Horseshoe "B" League... I am currently tabulating stats for the Western "B" league... please go ahead and help if you can. In particular, I am looking for histories or people who can add histories. DMighton 04:38, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Comma Splicing

Glad you had a chuckle.... comma splicing is the rampant and unneccessary use of the little punctuation mark. I'm a bit of a grammar freak and take my obsession, if that's what you call it, a little too far sometimes..... but everyone has a pet peeve right?-Rainman71 18:01, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikiproject

Hi Coltscore, I will add the template to any other hockey related articles I start. As for the wikiproject, I'm not sure if I am detail oriented enough to really work on a wide range of hockey articles. Regards, -- Jeff3000 13:53, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Junior B Teams

Hello, a user has decided that he does not want us placing hockey stubs on Wikipedia to expand later into teams. In particular he doesn't like Junior teams... I was wondering if you could please voice your opinion. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Thunder Bay Northern Hawks DMighton 01:15, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for your message

Just to say thanks for teh message and to add that I am a very big sports fan - all sorts of different sports. I have nothinhg against Ice Hockey. I am just very concerned at the amount of non-notable stuff on WP - stuff that Joe Public wouldn't turn to WP to look up (I actually do think that some people would turn to WP to look up about Anne Frank's cats - as a teacher I can assure you their are chidlren who have asked!). So it's not, as some have claimed, an anti-ice hockey campaign - I just want to ensure that everything on here is worthy of its place and genuinely notable. I think there are many sports teams and people on WP that DON'T deserve their place along with all the computer and video games and characters from those games. I don't think that every chracater from, say, Star Wars, deserves its own article or needs it. Do you get where I'm coming from? Anyway, thanks for your message - perhaps you could get some of the more rabid members of WP:HOCKEY to calm down a bit - just because I suggest that one article is non-notable I've been personal attacked and abused, trolled (by at least two of them), had a perfectly reaosnable article I started AfDed because one of them wants to make a WP:POINT and had an WP:RFI started against me - and all for basically disagreeing with the notability of a youth ice hockey team!

[edit] WikiProject Narnia

Hello, I noticed that you edited an article related to, or expressed interest in The Chronicles of Narnia. I thought you may be interested in knowing that there is a WikiProject working to improve articles about Narnia, your help would be greatly appreciated. Please consider joining the WikiProject Narnia. Thank you! Bornagain4 00:52, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: WikiProject Ice Hockey

Hi, you contacted me a while ago about joining the ice hockey WikiProject. Sorry I didn't get back to you then, missed your message by accident until now that I was browsing through my talk archives. In any case, I would be interested in joining, although to be honest there's not much I can add except player statistics and basic facts, and that's a pretty boring job that anyone can do by using Google (this is why I haven't done it yet). Are participants required to be active all the time, or at least much of the time? -- Ynhockey (Talk) 22:04, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
