Stanley Cup playoffs

Hello there,

I would just like to thank you for completing all of the goal tables for the Stanley Cup playoffs from 1919 to 1996. This was an ongoing project since last year when the NHL gave out all of its playoff history. However, most of us were too busy AFK to edit this much. I wish there was some award you could get from Project Ice Hockey for your commendable achievement. You have saved me and a few editors hundreds of hours. We look forward to any other contributions you have on Wikipedia.

Hi, @Conyo14: It was my pleasure to learn more about the history of the NHL playoffs. However the work I did for some of the playoffs tables was not as complete as I would have liked, but I trust that we can perfect the tables (and articles) in future. Cheers.

Let me second the thank you for all of the leg work that you did. There are still some minor tweaks needed but its nothing that I can't handle now that the majority of the work is done. Deadman137 (talk) 01:13, 25 May 2018 (UTC)

Hi, @Deadman137: I was happy to do it! I have been on break for several months, but I'd like to go back and cross some of the T's. Cheers. Fdssdf (talk) 02:47, 25 May 2018 (UTC)

You're more than welcome to go through them. Though there are quite a few traps that the league has left for us in regards to the times of certain goals. The worst that I've found from cross referencing so far was in the 1984 article, it's the project that never stops giving. Deadman137 (talk) 03:39, 26 May 2018 (UTC)

While I have your ear, @Deadman137: I remember not noting empty-net goals because the NHL didn't put them in its box scores, but then I saw recent Wiki playoff tables listing them. How shall we deal with this, or how do we ascertain when a goal is EN? (Should we even be listing them as EN?) Some of the goal will certainly seem like ENs (scored at 19:57, etc), but there is no direct evidence from the box scores provided by the NHL. Thanks. Fdssdf (talk) 14:11, 26 May 2018 (UTC)

It's quite easy, you just compare total saves made to total shots faced. Ex. If a goaltender allowed three goals against and his team gave up four goals and they only used one goaltender in the game then it is reasonable to assume that there was one. If find one and you're not sure cross reference it with big mouth or flyers history. Deadman137 (talk) 15:24, 26 May 2018 (UTC)

Thanks, and just to confirm, we do want to label EN goals? Thanks. Fdssdf (talk) 17:36, 26 May 2018 (UTC)

Yep, if you find one add the en tag. If you find one that is also a power-play or short-handed goal use pp-en or sh-en. Deadman137 (talk) 12:22, 1 June 2018 (UTC)

June 2018 GOCE newsletter

Guild of Copy Editors June 2018 News Welcome to the June 2018 GOCE newsletter, in which you will find Guild updates since the February edition. Progress continues to be made on the copyediting backlog, which has been reduced to 7 months and reached a new all-time low. Requests continue to be handled efficiently this year, with 272 completed by the end of May (an average completion time of 10.5 days). Fewer than 10% of these waited longer than 20 days, and the longest wait time was 29 days. Wikipedia in general, and the Guild in particular, experienced a deep loss with the death on 20 March of Corinne. Corinne (a GOCE coordinator since 1 July 2016) was a tireless aide on the requests page, and her peerless copyediting is a part of innumerable GAs and FAs. Her good cheer, courtesy and tact are very much missed. March drive: The goal was to remove June, July and August 2017 from our backlog and all February 2018 Requests (a total of 219 articles). This drive was an outstanding success, and by the end of the month all but eight of these articles were cleared. Of the 33 editors who signed up, 19 recorded 277 copy edits (425,758 words). April blitz: This one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 15 through 21 April, focusing on Requests and the last eight articles tagged in August 2017. At the end of the week there were only 17 pending requests, with none older than 17 days. Of the nine editors who signed up, eight editors completed 22 copy edits (62,412 words). May drive: We set out to remove September, October and November 2017 from our backlog and all April 2018 Requests (a total of 298 articles). There was great success this month with the backlog more than halved from 1,449 articles at the beginning of the month to a record low of 716 articles. Officially, of the 20 who signed up, 15 editors recorded 151 copy edits (248,813 words). Coordinator elections: It's election time again. Nominations for Guild coordinators (who will serve a six-month term for the second half of 2018) have begun, and will close at 23:59 UTC on 15 June. All Wikipedia editors in good standing are eligible, and self-nominations are encouraged. Voting will take place between 00:01 UTC on 16 June and 23:59 UTC on 30 June. June blitz: Stay tuned for this one-week copy-editing blitz, which will take place in mid-June. Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators: Corinne, Jonesey95, Miniapolis, Reidgreg and Tdslk. >>> Participate in the June elections! <<< To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list.
