[edit] Flyers History

I'm not saying I disagree with any of your edits, but two of my previous edits were accidently over-ridden by an anonymous user. Could you hold off editing until I fix it? --Sparkhurst 06:16, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Thank you. I think I got everything. --Sparkhurst 06:47, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Kings 1990-91 "Division Championship"

Everyone...Please note that the Kings did not win a division championship in the 1990-91 season. They did finish first in their divsion that season, but divisional champions were determined in the playoffs that year. in fact, the NHL began using that format in 1981-82, and did not change it until 1993-94.

As such, people should stop claiming that they won a division championship when, in fact, they did not.

Thanks :)

I re-looked it up...the Kings 2005 Media Guide states that they did indeed win a division championship in 1990-91...that's definivite enough. :-) The sad thing is that in some of their earlier media guides, it's not stated specifically. Gmatsuda 03:27, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My apologies

You were right about the captaincy format, and KRM has recently made the change. Here's the code if you want:

- '''[[Captain (ice hockey)|C]]'''
- '''[[Captain (ice hockey)|A]]'''

Sorry if I came off as a dick towards you. :\ J-Roc 20:34, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Conference championships

Hey -- I reverted your edit to Carolina Hurricanes because the Eastern Conference championship is recognized by the Prince of Wales Trophy, which was already listed by the trophy name. Same goes for the Clarence S. Campbell Bowl in the West. VT hawkeyetalk to me 12:45, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Changing the chapionship in NHL infobox

Hey. Noticed your work on the infoboxes for NHL teams. However, when the championship entries were added to the infobox, it was recommended in the discussion that we only show the second year of a championship in the infobox. It takes up less space, allowing for more years to be fit on one line and thus waste less vertical space. Just letting you know. –NeoChaosX [talk | contribs] 23:15, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Derian Hatcher captaincy

The Philadelphia Flyers official website's 'Captains' history, show Derian Hatcher's captaincy tenure as 2006 to present NOT 2005-06 to present. Why do you continually put 2005-06 to present?, what other viable sources are you using? GoodDay 21:50, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Nedved's flag

Nedved's flag is Canadian because he plays for Team Canada internationally. Just thought I'd give you a heads-up about that. -→Buchanan-Hermit™/?! 20:45, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New York Islanders

Hello, Darthflyer. I've reversed your edit, in the 'team captains' section. The New York Islanders captaincy was vacanat in the 1996-97 season, the Isles went with three altenate captains. GoodDay 16:40, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Philadelphia Flyers

Checked the Flyers website & you're correct, Forsberg isn't injured. Why won't you become a registered user? Wikipedia could use you. Give it a shot. GoodDay 20:33, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Flyers revisions

Look, I completely understand and sympathize with you about your hard work into the Flyers article. The article is beautiful and definitely worthy of Featured Status one day. However, another NHL Featured Status article, the Red Wings the Devils, did something you might want to emulate: the dates that this whole argument came to. Please try to understand that we're not trying to "butcher your work", we're just trying to improve upon, so some day, it'll make it to the front page like those damned Red Things Joisey losas. Sometimes, you gotta join 'em to beat 'em ;-) Jimbo 21:55, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

'Darthflyer', the work you've done is dedicative. However, it doesn't give your edits more authority then other Users edits. In other words, the Philadelphia Flyers page, doesn't belong to you (Darthflyer). GoodDay 22:49, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
'Darthflyer', you shouldn't have removed my posting from the Talk: Philadelphia Flyers. That's against Wikipedia rules. GoodDay 22:24, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] One step ahead of you on the Flyers record

Got the Flyers game against the Senators (6-1 loss) all in the page already for the season records. Figured I let you know so it saves you at least 1 thing to do :) Whammies Were Here (PYLrulz) 23:32, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Also, thanks for getting the games played. I had edited the standings around the time someone was vandalizing (and I was trying to correct) the Eagles page, so I didnt know if I had caught everything, and was doing pretty much two things at the same time.

[edit] NHL captains, 2004-05

Please leave captaincies which were vacant during the 2004-05 NHL lockout, in the team captain sections. Example: Hurricanes - no captain ,2004-05 & Blackhawks - no captain ,2004-05. The Hurricanes & Blackhawks franchises still existed during the lockout. The captains are listed by 'PERSON' not by 'SEASON', therefore 2004-05 stays. GoodDay 01:23, 10 March 2007 (UTC) Restored you 'captains' edits to the Hurricanes & Blackhawks pages. PS- I'm tired of 'edit disagreeing' with you. GoodDay 02:45, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your edit to Anaheim Ducks

I undid this edit you made because of the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Ice Hockey/Team pages format#Honoured Members. We're aiming towards using prose for that section, not lists; this is due to the FA status of New Jersey Devils, the style of which we're trying to imitate. -→Buchanan-Hermit™/?! 05:52, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Honored Members section (Hall of Famers & Retired Numbers) in pros style, has been restored. Darthflyer please don't go against consensus at WPT, it could be viewed as vandalism. GoodDay 20:21, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sabres Conference Champions Mistake

You're right, that was my mistake. I got so overzealous that I jumped the gun in listing them as conference champions. Now we just gotta play the waiting game. Iateyourpetfish 20:00, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ottawa Senators edits

I noticed you made the last change to the first line of the Ottawa Senators. Is there any reason why the Ottawa Senators are a "group of professional hockey players" as opposed to "a professional hockey team" as is the description used to describe several other teams? Ccrashh 15:37, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

What are you talking about? I made no such edit. Darthflyer 15:57, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
Sorry - I see that I misread when the change was made, and who made it. My apologies.Ccrashh 16:39, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
No problem. Darthflyer 16:44, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Anaheim Ducks

I've replaced the 'incumbent succession box' (for Stanley Cup Champions), with a regular succession box. The incumbent succession box read 2006-07 - present, which doesn't look good. Puting TBD wik-linked to 2007-08 season, reads better. GoodDay 20:57, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

I've opened a discussion at this WikiProject talk page. Hoping to get our 'different' succession boxes, reviewed. GoodDay 21:28, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
I think Nyttend's idea is best. It combines our styles & it's used by many other 'succession boxes'. GoodDay 16:59, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Stanley Cup champions succession box

Hello, Darthflyer. There's a discussion at WPTP concerning your creation. Thought you should know (so you can participate). GoodDay 20:49, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Philadelphia Flyers seasons

There is no standard for these pages. --Ulf17 (talk) 01:01, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Well, except this FA article. --Ulf17 (talk) 01:02, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
Regarding division championships, I'll redirect you to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Ice Hockey#Division Champions --Ulf17 (talk) 01:04, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
Since Calgary Flames seasons is a featured list, it implies that is the direction these pages should go. --Ulf17 (talk) 01:16, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
By the way, I'm working on getting rid of the abbreviations in the results section. --Ulf17 (talk) 01:29, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
