Where is this claim from that IP address anyway? I don't see it in the image file's history "back in December". Sportskido8 10:15, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi. Here is the actual diff. My intention in tagging the image was not to inconvenience you, but to verify the source/copyright status. The image is of such high quality that I thought it may have been lifted from AP. Thanks for clearing things up. Khatru2 21:40, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Stanley Cup Peer Review

I put the Stanley Cup on peer review. I think it's ready for FA status, so I'm sort of spamming you to take a look and please provide feedback. The Evil Clown ^{my contributions} 14:40, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Alright, I'll take a look at it in a bit. Sportskido8 17:59, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for looking over it. I've done massive revisions according to the PR, so if you feel like at it again, it'll be so appreciated. The Evil Clown ^{my contributions} 01:12, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Brodeur FAC & family members

Hey, good call asking Raul about why it wasn't promoted. I counted the support vs. object, and it was like 7 to 3 (and like you said, one wasn't actionable anyway). Glad to see it got reopened. Also, I've been overhauling the List of family relations in the National Hockey League page on my userpage. Could you check it out and offer some feedback, positive or negative? I haven't finished the parent-children one yet, but the siblings and the rest are completed and referenced. Here's my main concerns.

• 1: Pictures: keep or get rid of? I'm not sure how to make them fit on a smaller screen without the picture overlapping the table. On my desktop, it works at 1600x1200, but on my laptop, there's some overlap at 1024x768.
• 2: Length. It's a HUGE file already and I'm not even done, but I don't know if we can break it up into smaller articles without damaging the integrity of the list.
• 3: Trivia section. I want to include something like what I've started near the top, to show just how rare some feats accomplished by family members are, but I don't want it to be crufty or stupid (hopefully you get what I mean).
  

Just peruse it and let me know what you think. Anthony Hit me up... 13:04, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

I added the fur. I don't know why you didn't just add it, took 2 seconds. Good luck with the article. Quadzilla99 23:08, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Ah okay. It was a valid objection if a little trivial, unlike the other guy's objections. Quadzilla99 23:23, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

I know how you feel (regarding your comments on the image talk page) I'm pretty upset and it's not even my article. Quadzilla99 20:49, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, sometimes you have to just deal with this stuff I guess. The picture wasn't as bad as all the other little things. Eventually this article will be FA, it's just a matter of time. Sportskido8 20:51, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

If you have time

An article I have put extensive work into has bee at peer review for a while, Fighting in ice hockey. Would you mind giving it a fresh look and telling me if you think I should bring it to WP:FAC? I ask because you have experience bringing hockey articles up to FA. --Mus Musculus (talk) 05:24, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

We seemed to get off on a bad start, I apologize that I was unclear and uncivil in my previous messages. I've provided clear and actionable suggestions at Image talk:Brodeurbook.jpg and hope that you will take another look. --Iamunknown 06:12, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Alright, I'll see what I can do. Sportskido8 20:29, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Congrats!

Put that little star on there! Quadzilla99 05:33, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Awesome! Thanks for all your help, you really cleaned up the article a lot and made it as good as it can be. Sportskido8 09:29, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

That's two now for you, buddy, nice job! (And a helluva game last night, I know, I was there!) Anthony Hit me up... 12:26, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

I was going to give you the Running Man's barnstar, but I discovered that you already have it. Great job. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 14:46, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

CONGRATS!! You deserve it. What Devils article is next? Let's get the entire team up to FA lol. GO DEVILS! Game Saturday night was awesome. I drove up from North Carolina to watch. Let me know what's next and I'll do what I can to help you out. JHMM13 18:51, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Yeh, we can only hope. Just to let you know, I'm translating New Jersey Devils into Italian here. The current page is a bit depressing. JHMM13 23:27, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

RE: Hasek picture

Actually the Hasek picture was cropped from another image. It isn't mine by any means. I cropped it cause the players aren't relevant to thae article. The original image was by User:Canadaolympic989. The image was Image:0222 hockey1.jpg (click to see its page). --Hasek is the best 20:26, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

I was watchin the game so I couldn't answer. Anyway, so when that pic is deleted, should I ask someone on flickr to use their image for Wikipedia? Oh yeah I should also tell you the image was on a long time. I was scrolling through images on Wikipedia and saw the olympic image. I think that was earlier than Decmber so I don't know how an image colud be on that long without a tag or source info. --Hasek is the best 02:17, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Hasek FAC

Hello. I've reread parts of the article. It's very good and I hate to still object to promotion but I really feel that the prose can be improved. I know that a request has been submitted to the league of copyeditors but they are in perpetual backlog but maybe you can try and contact directly some of the more competent and proficient copyeditors like Tony1 (talk · contribs) who I'm sure would work magic on the article. I know that FA nominations can be excruciatingly long and tedious so I hope you're not too frustrated with the endless nitpicking. In any case, the article has clearly improved dramatically since the start of the process. Cheers, Pascal.Tesson 20:28, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

If you think it is close to GA, then get it up to it yourself. I think you could do it. --Pupster21 Talk To Me 19:10, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

I'll try, but it's a big article so it may take a while. Sportskido8 04:54, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

NJ Devils, Today's FA Request

I checked on the today's featured article request and noticed you asked if another date should be requested. How about June 30th, the anniversary of the day the team was renamed the New Jersey Devils? Ofcourse I figured it'd be best to bring it up with you first since you're the one that first requested it. Also, incase you're gonna reply on my talk page, I'll be copying this to my talk as well...so look for it...but feel free to respond here as I will be checking here as well. Bsroiaadn^Talk 10:51, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Alright, cool. Shall I do it myself or would you rather do it? Bsroiaadn^Talk 04:31, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Yea, sorry too. I was gonna just do it since you didn't respond but then I forgot. Either way, I did it just now. Bsroiaadn^Talk 03:23, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

List of family relations in the National Hockey League

Hey Sportskido, wanted to let you know that List of family relations in the National Hockey League is up for featured list candidacy. Hope it meets your criteria for featured status, and that you support the article. What are you working on now, probably something that will soon reach FA-status, no doubt. Anyway, keep me posted if you need any help/support with your articles. Anthony Hit me up... 13:31, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
