Defenceman

Hey, I saw that you created Defenceman. There's already Defenceman (ice hockey). I don't know if you want to merge anything in those articles together and then redirect one towards the other or not. Just thought you'd like an FYI. Also, Defenseman redirects to Defenceman (ice hockey) Kevin Rector (talk) 03:23, Apr 25, 2005 (UTC)

Hi Kraigus, Just a heads-up. I've put a proposal on the Talk:Defenceman to rename this article as "Defence player". The defence position is played by male and female players in most sports now, and a lot of the leagues have taken the 'man' out of the position title. As the creator of the page, I wanted to include you in the discussion. ColtsScore 08:26, 8 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science

You are on campus now, I assume. Is there anyway you can get a photo of the MC and or DC? You probably know about the rules of Wiki photos, so stock photos from the school website won't do. I think there is a photo of MC on the main UWaterloo page, but there are none for DC. --AlphaTwo 16:14, 21 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Screwing up my name on oilers talk

Hey Kraigus. No harm done, I've corrected it again, so there's no problem. I'm guessing you're on an older computer, then. The æ might be a problem on older computers.

Nope, just wasn't paying close enough attention and I think my text editor (TextEdit on OS X) must be pretty stupid. Next time I'll be more careful. Kraigus 00:04, 3 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

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:

Patrik Eliáš — Photo of player, requested by Bsroiaadn
Scott Stevens — Photo of player, requested by Bsroiaadn
Daniel Alfredsson — Photo of player, requested by Maxim
Hart Trophy — Photo of the original Hart Trophy (retired in 1960), requested by Scorpion0422

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.

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]

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.

^ The last one, List of Calgary Flames players, is the only one not associated with the featured topic drive.
^ 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:

Hart Memorial Trophy (Scorpion)
James Norris Memorial Trophy (Scorpion)
Vezina Trophy (Scorpion)
Conn Smythe Trophy (Serte)
Frank J. Selke Trophy (FutureNJGov)
Lady Byng Memorial Trophy (Scorpion)
Lester B. Pearson Award (Scorpion)
Calder Memorial Trophy (Croat Canuck)
Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy (Maxim)
King Clancy Memorial Trophy (Maxim)
Jack Adams Award (Maxim)
Presidents' Trophy (Scorpion)
Stanley Cup (Earlier collaboration, very many involved)
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.
