[edit] Userbox

Just a thought... shouldn't our userbox be green, seeing as we are the Celtics... Basketball110 the pages I've messed up completely 23:43, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

I modified the colors a bit - I think it made it look a little better.   jj137 (talk) 02:13, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
Where? Basketball110 vandalise me 16:24, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Why is this an independent WikiProject?

Since Boston Celtics is one of the franchises of the NBA, shouldn't this project be a task force of the WP:NBA? OR a subproject of WP:NBA? Just wondering.--Crzycheetah 22:42, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Newhart

Hey, in an episode of Newhart, dick, goerge and kirk go to a celtics game. Wouldn't that technically put the tv show inside the scope of this wikiproject? RC-0722 communicator/kills 18:54, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

No. The episode, yes, though if you can find it. Basketball110Frankly, I don't give a damn. 00:34, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Mistake in userbox

I noticed it says "this user is member" and it's leaving out a letter. :) Enigma msg! 22:12, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Parquet floors

The TD Banknorth Garden article mentions that the basketball court has a parquet floor, and the latter article returns the favor. But neither talks about the effect of that kind of floor on the game. Or is there no effect now that the dead spots from the old Boston Garden are gone? Matchups 01:23, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] A Request

Not that I mind at all, but this WikiProject looks eerily similar to WP:GNB. It would be nice is things were reworded, as they are basically verbatim to WP:GNB, just replace Boston Celtics with Green Bay Packers (There was actually an instance where the project page says to tag all Celtics articles with the Green Bay Packers banner, although I fixed it). Also, I think it would help if you changed the colors, as these colors are not even the Celtics colors. Just some suggestions, as although it is a nice design, we dont want a bunch of cookie-cutter WikiProjects, try and add your own flare to it. Thanks! « Gonzo fan2007 (talk ♦ contribs) 07:27, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Also the statement "America's greatest small-town team, the Boston Celtics," I mean come on, Boston isnt even a small-town. A rewrite would be nice. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk ♦ contribs) 07:28, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
I fixed the colors, some other minor typos/wrong thing. I still think it needs a thorough copyedit, make sure all the links are working and are pointing to the right pages, move all of the pages into the Wikipedia:WikiProject Boston Celtics/ Namespace (Wikipedia:WikiProject National Basketball Association/Boston Celtics subproject/Members is still used as a link on the right side, even though most of the page seems to link to Wikipedia:WikiProject Boston Celtics/Members, which is confusing), and work on defining the project by making it unique from others. Hope this helps! « Gonzo fan2007 (talk ♦ contribs) 08:09, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 2007-08 Boston Celtics season

Can this article be nominated for GA or FA status? It is pretty detailed and well-sorced. ● 8~Hype @ 13:18, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

I think we should wait until the season ends, at least for the Celtics. It's a current event... Basketball110 19:09, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

But would it deserve GA or FA status? ● 8~Hype @ 21:09, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Yes. Basketball110Frankly, I don't give a damn. 00:35, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
It would probably be more featured list status than featured article. - MILK'S FAVORITE COOKIE (Talk) 00:37, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Tom Thibodeau

I created the article Tom Thibodeau. Please feel free to contribute to this page. ● 8~Hype @ 18:23, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

I added the stub Kevin Eastman (basketball coach). Enigma message 08:05, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Retired numbers

Should retired numbers be added to Template:Boston Celtics, as in Template:Phoenix Suns? ● 8~Hype @ 17:22, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Celtics season article

[1] Shouldn't it receive some sentences about the playoffs? Or are people waiting until the playoffs are completed? Enigma message 07:30, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Still waiting. ● 8~Hype @ 08:12, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
