[edit] db-bio

I think that a better tag to put on articles like that is db-bio. It's generic and it doesn't require nearly as much typing. Just a suggestion.Diez2 00:46, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Non-Notable

Hi there; although there is ongoing discussion about it, non-notability is not presently a category permitting speedy deletion. I personally feel that it should be, but such is life. Look at WP:SPEEDY--Anthony.bradbury 00:49, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

It was not my intention to criticise, or to imply that you are doing anything wrong; it is just that there are defined criteria for speedy deletion. They are: {{db-bio}}, {{db-band}}, {{db-empty}}, {{db-attack}}, {{db-nonsense}}, {{db-spam}}, {{db-notenglish}}, {{db-copyvio}}, {{db}}, {{db-test}} and {{db-vandalism}}. Ther may be others that I don't know, but that lot serve my simple purposes. Non-notability can, at present, only be flagged up as {{subst:prod}} with a free-text reason added. Don't feel bad, this is how we all learn, and the more new page patrollers we have the better we all like it.--Anthony.bradbury 01:09, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
For some reason not clear to me, the tage between copyvio and test, which is "db-repost" does not pick up. But that is what it should say.--Anthony.bradbury 01:12, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
That's fine. I'll take that into account if the need arises to use such a tag. Streetsabre 01:15, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Come back to me if you need to. The link WP:SPEEDY takes you to an instruction page on these tags.--Anthony.bradbury 01:17, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

That's fine. Quite a lot of us try to make ourselves available to help new or newish editors. And as I say, we cannot have too many NP patrollers. Happy wikying.--Anthony.bradbury 01:25, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
I accidentally answered on my talk page.--Anthony.bradbury 02:40, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

If you would like the full works, look on WP:SD, which is two pages, and WP:TT which is twenty-nine!--Anthony.bradbury 22:56, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Quite a lot of them never seem to get used. The important thing is to use them in ascending sequence up to blocking-point. Of course, in a case of obvious, gross and deliberate malicious vandalism it is permissable to go straight to "warning" or even "final warning".--Anthony.bradbury 11:44, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] removed anime styled "example" photos

This isn't that important, but those anime styled example photos are Wikipe-tan. --Wirbelwindヴィルヴェルヴィント (talk) 05:41, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re:Stub list

Hi - thanks with your help updating the counts of stub categories at WP:WSS/ST, but they are quite frequently done automatically now, so it's not too vital. They also use set "bin" sizes, as explained at the top of the page. I appreciate you're trying to help, though, so thanks! :) Grutness...wha? 04:01, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Well, that "quite frequently" is a bit vague - it doesn't look like it's been done for a couple of months, so it does help - it's just not that vital, though, so if there are other things you could use your energy on here, they're probably more deserving of it. Grutness...wha? 04:28, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ice Hockey Project discussion of hockey player notability and project scope

Please come join the WikiProject Ice Hockey Notability standards for hockey players discussion. I'd like to see input from all our project members who have an opinion. Thanks! ColtsScore 02:48, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Alan Hughes

Just out of interest, which parts of the article need wikifying? The article is too short to be divided up into sections, all terms in the article are already linked to their respective articles and it's well referenced, so what else would you recommend I do? Andrew nixon 21:44, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Most do, but not all. This particular individual has only played one match that counts towards the statistics that are collated in that box, hence the box is not going to indicate anything that can't be said in the main body of the article. Andrew nixon 21:58, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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".

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.
