[edit] re: Chris Pronger

That's some pretty tough talk when a source to a major newspaper is cited saying "aka" ... - the universal prefix for a nickname Jaskaramdeep 02:51, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

The "universal prefix"? A POV based opinion does not remove a POV concern. One could cite any number of names that any number of players have been called at one time or another. A city, or in this case, newspaper, suffering from jilted lover syndrome does not qualify this as a nickname. Resolute 02:54, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
Where is this definition of what is a nickname and what isn't? Maybe I should have referred to it when creating the field in the template, instead of linking it to an entire Wikipedia page, whose definition is this: A nickname is a short, clever, cute, derogatory, or otherwise substitute name for a person or thing's real name ... A nickname is sometimes considered desirable, symbolising a form of acceptance, but can often be a form of ridicule. Your argument that "A city, or in this case, newspaper, suffering from jilted lover syndrome does not qualify this as a nickname" is full of holes - this article is from the Calgary Sun. Jaskaramdeep 03:15, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
The article was reprinted in the Calgary Sun, but Zeisberger is not a Calgary Sun writer. It is a SunMedia story originating from another paper. Not that this is terribly relevent. I stand by my comment: just because one paper says something does not make it a nickname. In this case it should be especially obvious to anyone but someone allowing their own feelings regarding Pronger to enter the equasion. Resolute 03:56, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Oh, I think it's pretty relavent. You discounted something because you thought the person was being a homer, and it turns out that the person has no personal affilitation with the Oilers. One person is not saying this; the entire city of Edmonton is saying it. If this is the Resolute from HFboards, I am sure you have heard the "move over Peter Puck, move over Mike Comrie" banter over the last few months. There is always a public enemy #1 in Edmonton, and that title now belongs to Chris Pronger. This is just one article that says so, I could find more that say the same thing. Jaskaramdeep 04:20, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Actually, I discounted it because it is a POV statement, and not a nickname, exactly as I said. I am also quite aware of the opinion of Oiler fans. I've been reverting their vandalism on this article for months now. I reverted your edit because I have never ONCE heard anyone refer to Pronger regularally as "Public Enemy #1 in Edmonton", thus, IMO, is not a nickname. If anything it belongs in the main article as a cited reference to how Oiler fans feel about Pronger's trade request. Resolute 04:33, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
Isn't saying that you've "never ONCE heard ... regularly" a contradiction? Anyways, you've heard it at least once - in the article I cited. In any case, I have Edmonton's Canoe writer saying that he's public enemy #1" [1], and here's the kicker. I have Pronger HIMSELF saying he's "public enemy #1" in Edmonton [2]. If that's not regular enough for you, I'm not sure what more I can do to prove this nickname is valid. Jaskaramdeep 18:31, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
So? Being described as something does not make it a nickname. Don Koharski's nickname did not become "Fat Pig" after Jim Schoenfeld called him one. I have never heard one individual regularally refer to Pronger as that. ie: it is not a nickname that anybody uses, simply an opinion of what Oiler fans think of him. Resolute 19:26, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
This is the last time I will waste my time saying this: Being described as something does not make it a nickname. Resolute 23:31, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] NHL team season articles

I've started a new project to create an article for each individual season for the Flames (and by extension, every NHL team). My concept article is at 2005-06 Calgary Flames season. Any suggestions you have for the layout, and how to improve it are appreciated. Please add them to that article's talk page. Thanks! Resolute 23:37, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Brule.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Brule.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Khatru2 08:11, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

I left a note about replaceable fair use on Image talk:Brule.jpg. Khatru2 04:01, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Anze Kopitar graffiti

Does it really make sense to you why somebody would make graffiti for Anze Kopitar? He isn't really that big of a player in the Los Angeles area... Also, the webpage for Anze Kopitar is to give information about him, not about graffiti that just so happens to have his name on it. Ksy92003 19:25, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

First of all, there's a difference between a team that the most famous player in hockey played for erecting a statue of them and graffiti of another player. Maybe it would be different if it were a real picture of Anze Kopitar instead of a stencil drawing. Plus, it's Los Angeles. They have graffiti of everything. If somebody made graffiti of a wheel of cheese, do you really think that picture would be on the wikipedia site of cheese? Graffiti isn't the kind of picture you should post on an encyclopedic website. Ksy92003 21:36, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
