Thank you for your edits to the football articles. I noticed you targetted the Chief's page. I didn't see my first football game until 1976, so that is where the Chiefs history that I know starts. Perhaps you know more about their glory years with Len Dawson. You'll notice that the history that I've written sort of jumps straight from the beginning to 1989. Kainaw 1 July 2005 02:00 (UTC)

[edit] Demolition Night

Hello, I transferred your Demolition Night link from the MLB template to the White Sox team page. The template put it on all 30 teams. Have a good day!--CrazyTalk 15:41, August 23, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] The Office (US) edits

Hey, just about your adding of the British equivalents to the cast list. I'm not too sure if those really belong there. This article is for the NBC version of The Office- as it's own seperate television series. There's already a comparison of the characters with their equivalents in The Office (this article is about the actual series- not either specific version.) I didn't want to revert your edits... maybe they belong. What do you think? Mrtea 02:57, 5 December 2005 (UTC)


[edit] LivingWithStyle / YTMND / EBaum's World

Hey, you added adult swim and LivingWithStyle to the list of forums that were participating in the 'raid' on Ebaum's World a few days ago. Could you please tell me where you got this info? --The "Definitive YTMND War/EBaum's Raid" YTMND had users say they recruited people from AS and LWS.


Hmm, There was never a post on LWS about this, unless it's in one of the super-secret hidden group forums (doubtful). Do you have a link to this? --DaiTengu 07:15, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

It was in Flames. Check there.

[edit] New Sports-Wiki

Hey ChicosBailBonds (great name). I noticed that you seemed to be passionate about the sports, so I thought you would be interested in this project a couple of my buddies and I started. A couple of friends and I (a bunch of guys from New York City) modified the Mediawiki engine (which runs Wikipedia) to create a new sports wiki. Every non-protected page is editable, and the site allows anyone to post up news stories (wiki-news) and write sports opinions (blog) with associated commenting (on the same page as the news and opinion with the ability of admins to delete trolling comments). We also wrote some cool extensions so that users can vote on pages they like and those pages with the most votes get filtered to the front page of the site--that way the best news and opinion stories rise to the top. Since more people will see the articles, more people will edit them and polish them up, hopefully increasing an articles reliability and quality.

If your interested in checking out the project, send me a message and I will send you the link. Thanks! --Awrigh01 15:59, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

Hey Chico, thanks for getting back to me the website link is here: Armchairgm. Tell me what you think. Hope to see you on the other side. --Awrigh01 22:09, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Jeremy Clarkson quote

Are you positive he stated the "commit acts of passion/incest" statement in the Dodge Charger segment? The video abruptly ends before any commentary by Clarkson (as I assume the man in the car was not him). Ryūlóng 00:02, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia

Two notes about your edits to this article:

  • You made many edits without explaination for what you did. Please in the discription tab, put something brief about the changes that you made.
  • You also made multiple edits in a row where it may have been unnecessary. I have done this before in the past, but I believe it might be easier if you preview your post, or make your edits in a sandbox before you save it to the actual article.

Other than that, thanks a lot for your contributions.--Torourkeus 06:44, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:BluesNeverWorn.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:BluesNeverWorn.gif. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. BigDT 15:36, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi, seeing you are interested in football this is an invitation to contribute to this discussion to clarify certain issues about football player notability.

WikiProject Ice Hockey Newsletter

Dear ChicosBailBonds! 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
There have been a lot more Good and Featured articles written in the past few weeks. Here is a list:[1][2][3][4]

Featured articles
Good articles
Featured lists[5]
Notes
  1. ^ All articles are in order of promotion, as written on the main WikiProject page; FA's have official dates of promotions.
  2. ^ A star represents a featured article or list
  3. ^ A green circle represents a good article
  4. ^ Stanley Cup is an A-Class article
  5. ^ The lists system differs from articles, and doesn't give an official date of promotion

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.

edit  

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.

edit  

Task forces

By Maxim
There have been two new task forces started within the WikiProject to coordinate major topics.

Sweden Ice Hockey task force

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.

New Jersey Devils task force

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.

edit  

Requested Images

By Maxim
After discussion on the WikiProject talk page, Serte created a page for Requested Images. The page encourages users to license images for use on articles. The page also has section to request images for players, arenas, game situations, miscellaneous, and team and league logos. The page has been quite popular; since it was created on July 21, there have been six completed requests. There are four currently outstanding requests:

Article assessement completed

By Maxim
On July 12, Kaiser matias announced that he had completed assessing all the articles with a {{ice hockey}} tag, sorting them into Category:Unassessed Ice Hockey articles. Kaiser matias has ranked about 9000 articles in that category, and most were stubs, and "have no information at all", according to him. Everybody is encouraged to expand the stubs into real articles. This effort took around 5 months. A big thanks goes to Kaiser matias from me and all the project.

WikiProject Ice Hockey Newsletter

Dear ChicosBailBonds! 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:
Maurice 'Rocket' Richard Trophy has just been promoted to featured list status, while the bot was delivering the newsletter. Maxim(talk) 02:02, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

And I've just promoted Art Ross Trophy. And Clarence S. Campbell Bowl is at FLC. This should be the last update. Maxim(talk) 00:40, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

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]

  1. Featured article Hart Memorial Trophy
  2. Featured article James Norris Memorial Trophy
  3. Featured article Vezina Trophy
  4. Featured article Conn Smythe Trophy
  5. Featured article Frank J. Selke Trophy
  6. Featured article Lady Byng Memorial Trophy
  7. Featured article Lester B. Pearson Award
  8. Featured article Calder Memorial Trophy
  9. Featured article Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy
  10. Featured article King Clancy Memorial Trophy
  11. Featured article Jack Adams Award
  12. Featured article Presidents' Trophy
  13. Featured article List of Calgary Flames players

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.

  1. ^ The last one, List of Calgary Flames players, is the only one not associated with the featured topic drive.
  2. ^ At the time of publishing, there were 5 lists at WP:FLC and 2 lists in the "Holding cell", as there's been an accepted guideline to not put more that 5 trophy lists at the same time to, "compensate for the sanity of the reviewers".

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:

  1. Featured article Hart Memorial Trophy (Scorpion)
  2. Featured article James Norris Memorial Trophy (Scorpion)
  3. Featured article Vezina Trophy (Scorpion)
  4. Featured article Conn Smythe Trophy (Serte)
  5. Featured article Frank J. Selke Trophy (FutureNJGov)
  6. Featured article Lady Byng Memorial Trophy (Scorpion)
  7. Featured article Lester B. Pearson Award (Scorpion)
  8. Featured article Calder Memorial Trophy (Croat Canuck)
  9. Featured article Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy (Maxim)
  10. Featured article King Clancy Memorial Trophy (Maxim)
  11. Featured article Jack Adams Award (Maxim)
  12. Featured article Presidents' Trophy (Scorpion)
  13. Good article Stanley Cup (Earlier collaboration, very many involved)
  14. Good article Traditions and anecdotes associated with the Stanley Cup (Maxim)

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.

[edit] Edit to Happy Chandler

Thanks for your recent edit to Happy Chandler. For the moment, I have reverted the edit. Let me explain my rationale. First, the article is currently at good article status. I have tried to keep it meticulously referenced in order to maintain (and one day improve) that status. The edit you added was not supported by the source used to cite the original paragraph. That said, what I know about Chandler suggests that your edit is quite likely accurate. If you would be so kind as to provide a reliable source for the information, I would gladly allow the edit to remain.

On that note, I've been looking for someone with knowledge of Chandler's tenure as commissioner of baseball to help expand that section of his article. I think the article is very close to featured status, but I doubt it would meet the comprehensiveness requirement without expanding the baseball commissioner section. Of course, any additions would need to be cited appropriately. Would you be willing to help expand this section and try to help me take the article to featured status?

(BTW, I'm leaving on vacation tomorrow, so don't think I've forgotten you if you don't hear from me immediately. I'll be back on Saturday.) Acdixon (talk • contribs • count) 14:11, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

WikiProject Ice Hockey Newsletter

Dear ChicosBailBonds! You are receiving as you are a member of WikiProject Ice Hockey There's been many more new things going on at WP:HOCKEY, and I think this will help you to stay informed. Since the last newsletter sent out in October, there have been many new changes. I'm hoping to make this newsletter a bit more regular; Kaiser matias and Skudrafan1 asked for a new issue a week ago, but sadly, I've been a bit lazy and committed to other things hence this other delay. --Maxim(talk)

New recognized content

Wayne Gretzky; this picture is featured

By Maxim
There has been numerous new recognized content, so much that it's too time-consuming to sift through the "trophy cases" on WP:HOCKEY. Some interesting achievements:

edit  

Task forces

By Maxim

There was a new taskforce created within the WikiProject to deal with topics related to the Boston Bruins. It was originally founded as a separate WikiProject, but was quickly turned into a taskforce within WikiProject Ice Hockey. The list of participants is located here. Located at WP:BRUINS, the taskforce's goals are to make Boston Bruins and Bobby Orr featured articles. Good luck!

edit  

New Administrators

By Maxim
Since October, there have been three new admins promoted within the project:

A previously admin-only feature has been made available for all users. The rollback feature allows a user to quickly revert vandalism with one click. If you wish to have rollback, contact an active admin or post a request to WP:RFR.

edit  

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.

edit  

Notes

  • More editors are needed to help out with the newsletter. Maxim doesn't have an infinite nor perfect supply of ideas, and thus he might omit some interesting news.
  • Portal:Ice hockey is being considered for featured status. Feel free to nominate features at Portal:Ice hockey/Suggestions.
  • Should Chris Pronger have been suspended for more than eight games for stomping on Ryan Kesler? Vote here!
