[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:98b&hcup.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:98b&hcup.jpg. The image description page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation 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.

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 21:05, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

I have now added a fair use rational. TheNottinghamPanther 22:45, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Peer review

Hi. Just thought I would let you know (in case you missed it on the article's peer review page) I completed a pretty thorough peer review on the article you submitted to peer review, Nottingham Panthers. I have an article up for peer review as well if you felt like returning the favor. ;).A mcmurray 08:29, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your suggestions. I'll take them into consideration. I'm pretty new to this peer review aspect of Wikipedia but I'll take a look at your article. Kim Williams 21:59, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] New York Yankees GA

Thank you for taking the time to review this article. But instead of a downright failure, can you at least put the nomination on hold so that we have a chance to fix it? I can fix anything within a few days. Sportskido8 16:53, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Ah don't worry about it. As you said it can be easily be put up for re-nomination so it's not a big deal anyway. Thanks again for the advice. Sportskido8 18:34, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

From the project, Maxim.

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.

[edit] Hello WikiProject Ice Hockey/Participant

I am an advisor to the National Hockey League. With your help over the next few months I plan to review and correct any information on wikipedia relating to the National Hockey League, its franchises, players, executives and partership organisations. I am here to provide you with information. Your work is appreciated. --NHLsource 18:09, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

WikiProject Ice Hockey Newsletter

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

  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
There have been 4 new articles featured in the Did You Know section? on the Main Page since August.

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] Jack Dryburgh

Hi Kim, I've noticed you peeking at my sandbox ;-) As you've probably noticed I'm working on an article about Jack Dryburgh. Do you know if he ever actually played for the Panthers? According to his hall of fame entry he moved south the play for them before moving back to Edinburgh as he couldn't get a job, but it isn't clear whether he actually iced for them. Do you have access to anything that would confirm? Cheers -- JD554 11:45, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks Kim, you're an absolute star! -- JD554 12:15, 13 November 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Peer review

Hi Kim, I've added your request for peer review of Nottingham Panthers to Wikipedia:WikiProject Ice Hockey/Peer Review as well. Might get some input from other Ice Hockey editors. -- JD554 (talk) 15:47, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] DYK

Updated DYK query On 12 December 2007, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article History of the Nottingham Panthers (1939-1960), which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

--Cirt (talk) 14:27, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Panthers-Steelers Rivalry

Of course I'd be more tempted to call it a Steelers-Panthers rivalry ;-)

It's a good idea from Oldelpaso, but I'd be wary about calling it the "biggest rivalry in British hockey" as that is certainly POV, especially to Fife/Dundee fans or Guildford/Bracknell fans etc.

I wasn't around when the rivalry started, but from what I've been told it seemed to start in the 94/95 Heineken season when Sheffield were quite far behind but put a long run together to just beat Nottingham to the league title. All of this was, of course, whipped up into a frenzy by he-who-must-not-be-named. Then there were the finals which we seemed to always meet you in over the next few years and then "that" bench clearance in February 2001.

The finals and the bench clearance are well documented enough, but I can't find anything online about the 94/95 title chase. I've got Sluyter's A Game of Three Halves which might have something in, but it's probably better covered in his Seasons to be Chearful which I don't have. I'll let you know --JD554 (talk) 12:57, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

I think you're probably right. Although the seeds were sown 92/93 the rivalry itself won't have been able to start until 93/94 when they were in the same division. I'll check Sluyter's book tonight and let you know if I find anything useful. --JD554 (talk) 15:22, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi Kim, I've had a flick through A Game of Three Halves, but unfortunately it doesn't mention the rivalry. I don't think I have any other sources which would cover it, sorry. Although if I think of anything, I'll be sure to let you know. --JD554 (talk) 20:30, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi

could you email me please? PMA (talk) 11:11, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Congrats

Well done on getting Nottingham Panthers to FA. I know you've put in an awful lot of work - it's thoroughly deserved! --JD554 (talk) 18:08, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Congratulations on getting Nottingham Panthers promoted to FA; it passed FAC with almost no comments for improvement! Great job! Maxim(talk) 19:40, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

WikiProject Ice Hockey Newsletter

Dear Kim Williams! 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!

[edit] Yaaaaaaay!

All I can say is I'm glad things are changing for the better! :Þ I'm not sure which page(s) you mean. Do you mean the season pages like Sheffield Steelers seasons? If so, the only other way I could see of incorporating it would be to split each competition into it's own section. A table could still be used at the top to give just the very basic information such as:

Season League Level Autumn Cup Knockout Cup League Playoffs Challenge Cup
2007-08 EIHL 1 N/A Lost 2nd Won Runners-up

Or maybe the table could be split into a different table for each league and only showing the relevant competitions. The Autumn Cup column could then be removed from the Elite League part for example. JD554 (talk) 11:13, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Edit summary

I notice you do not always add brief description when editing pages ie Nottingham Panthers - wikipedia says... It is good practice to fill in the Edit Summary field, or add to it in the case of section editing, as it helps everyone to understand what is changed, such as when perusing the history of the page. It's a good idea to set your user preferences (under Editing) to "Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary". I know its easily forgotten but it does help, well done with the Panthers page. Regards --palmiped |  Talk  15:35, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Photos help

Hi Kim, I'm afraid I'm no expert on the images front. I think that image needs to come under the GFDL but how that gets proved when someone e-mails you I don't know. There seems to be more information at WP:IUP and I would think that you would get better (and more accurate) advice on the talk page there. Cheers --JD554 (talk) 07:05, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
