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)
Non-Notable
[edit]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)
removed anime styled "example" photos
[edit]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)
Re:Stub list
[edit]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)
Ice Hockey Project discussion of hockey player notability and project scope
[edit]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)
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)
WikiProject Ice Hockey August 2007 Newsletter
[edit]|
WikiProject Ice Hockey Newsletter Dear Streetsabre! You are receiving this newsletter because you have signed up as a member of WikiProject Ice Hockey. The purpose of this newsletter is to update on the goings on of the project, as there have been major changes, and a lot of new recognized content in the past few weeks. If you are an inactive user, you probably won't recognize the new and improved state of the WikiProject! From the project, Maxim. New recognized content By 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. 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 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. 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

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.
Did You Know? By Maxim
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:
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. |

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference
[edit]Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.
On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.
For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.
Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 19:01, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

The article Camp Sunshine has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- No evidence of notability.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

New deal for page patrollers
[edit]Hi Streetsabre,
In order to better control the quality of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the current system we introduced in 2011 is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group New Page Reviewer has been created.
Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most current experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.
Find out more about this exiting new user right now at New Page Reviewers and be sure to read the new tutorial before applying. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 04:29, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
