[edit] NEW NOMINATIONS

[edit] Template:Carolina Hurricanes 2006 Stanley Cup Team

Template:Carolina Hurricanes 2006 Stanley Cup Team (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Potentially bad precident, and somewhat indiscriminate. Teammates in any given year, even a championship season, are not usually a key aspect of a player's identity. Potential to overload certain articles with such templates if one is created for every Stanley Cup and major international championship. A category that served the same function was recently deleted, though for slightly different reasons. In short, not particularly useful. See discussion at WP:HOCKEY.

• Also nominating Template:Tampa Bay Lightning 2004 Stanley Cup Team. Resolute 05:10, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
• Need to also nominate Template:Colorado Avalanche 2001 Stanley Cup Team. I support Delete All for these templates per discussion on WP:HOCKEY. --Pparazorback 05:28, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Template:Location map Alberta

Template:Location map Alberta (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Speedy Delete. I tried to use this map but it is not in orthographic projection, so the dot will be slightly off. I have since started using a manual type of location map. — MJCdetroit 01:00, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

• Comment - it works perfectly well on Cochrane, Alberta. Gracenotes^T § 01:17, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Or at least appears to, I mean, in comparison with the Google maps image. Maybe the image needs altering, and the parameters in this template as well? Gracenotes^T § 01:32, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
• Reply to comment. The example that you gave does not use Template:Location map Alberta. It uses the map Image:Census divisions AB.png which is the same map used by Template:Location map Alberta. However because Image:Census divisions AB.png is not in orthorgraphic projection, which basically means it is flat and doesn't account for the curve of the Earth, the automatically placed "dot" can be slight off. This seems to have happened the farther north that the settlement was. Cochrane, Alberta uses |dot_x= 88 |dot_y= 241 to place the dot on the mark. Whereas Template:Location map Alberta (if it worked correctly) relied on the coordinates to automatically place the dot. —MJCdetroit 03:17, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Thank you for the clarification. Perhaps that can be rectified by merely uploading a different image, and changing the data? Gracenotes^T § 05:29, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
