Heritage Jr. B

Hello, thank you for editing the Heritage Jr. B article I created. I live in Ontario and do not know much about hockey outside of my province. If you can, could you attempt to edit more of the leagues I worked on in Western Canada? There is a list of all the leagues I've done in my user page, if you can help... please do... there is Jr. A, Jr. B, and Jr. C to be editted to some degree. I'd also like there to be some league history added, but I do not know much about these leagues other than that they exist. If you'd like to talk to me, please write me in my "My talk" page. Thanks Again. DMighton 03:45, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

You are welcome. I was actually surprised a page was even created for the HJHL. I'm starting with the AJHL first, having just created a page for the Calgary Royals, but will work on some of the other Alberta based leagues that I am familiar with as well. Resolute 04:42, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Well... before I started there was no pages for any league under major junior... and that pissed me off a little. I played all levels of OHA junior hockey... and I wanted to make it possible for people on wiki to know about the OHF, OHA, and OPJHL... from there... I thought it wouldn't be fair to stop with Ontario, so any Canadian junior league I found... I built... PEI to BC... if you look in the history... you should see my name. Oddly, the HJHL was one of the first I found out west... Alberta and BC leagues are much easier to find than Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Quebec (which I've only found one league in so far sadly, I'm not bilingual which makes it tough). I'm actually really wondering what happened to the Calgary Jr. B League... I saw a link to it on a PEI league site... and can't find it... although it did help me find the Saskatchewan Jr. C League which has a team in Calgary and the Noralta Jr. C league which seems to be Edmonton based. DMighton 04:52, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Hello, I just noticed your edits on the HJBHL... are you going to start pages with them? If not... maybe use links to their team pages that are down in the "External links" category. I'd be interested in seeing what you could do for pages though... stats... histories... championships... alumni... so on... DMighton 02:14, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

It is still in my plans, though I removed the wikilinks becuase it is still a long term project. I am working on a page for the Alberta provincials right now (will have it up tonight), and have actually found some information on the Calgary Jr B league, though not much. I still intend to do something with the HJHL teams, however. Resolute 02:29, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Good... sadly... by the time I was ready to do the Alberta provincials... I got stuff full of OHA stats to sort. Is there enough info for a Calgary Jr. B page? Are they defunct? DMighton 03:27, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Not enough, unfortunately. The league is still active, however it operates as an extension of Calgary Minor Hockey rather than an independent organization. One of their teams did with the Alberta title in 2005, however. Resolute 03:32, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Just saw the page. That is excellent... articles like that are why I joined this strange, strange website. DMighton 10:24, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Since we are on the topic of Western Canadian Jr. B... I see that Airdrie and Okotoks are good enough for articles... but what is wrong with the Red Deer Vipers??? At 37-0-0-1, they aren't good enough? jk... wouldn't hurt though. I am currently puttering across a lot of the Junior articles I've created and am trying to improve them one-by-one... as well, I am researching and building OLA pages... See Brampton Excelsiors (Major League) and Owen Sound Rams... and trying to keep up to date with the OPJHL and GMHL... I've been busy... DMighton 04:08, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Heh, I may yet to more HJHL team pages, but at this point I have been strongly focussed on improving the WHL articles. I may focus on former AJHL teams before I look at the HJHL as well. Resolute 04:15, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Victoria Cougars

There is now a specifc article about the WHL's Victoria Cougars. Please consider using Victoria Cougars (junior) when referring to the Cougars in your annual WHL season articles. Great work on them by the way. BoojiBoy 19:36, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

I will do so, thanks for the heads up. Resolute 21:11, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for the comment on the team... any chance of you voting? This guy really seems to hate hockey or something. DMighton 00:24, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Crucible

Yeah... they both definately have an agenda. Luckily, an Admin as already looked at his accusations and deemed them without weight, that they were just harrassing me to try and get rise in hope of getting what they want -- and he has already advised me on how to protect myself (not to say suggestions from the guys in the WP would hurt -- thanks by the way). I've personally reviewed the personal attacks article and unless I call both of them a "jerk" a ridiculous amount of times, use it with malicious intent, or use it as a roorback, I have not commited a personal attack. The only reason I am not responding to it openly outside of the WikiProject is that we are trying to avoid what they are trying to start... everyone in the WP knows I am a blue collar worker with my nose to the grindstone and that I don't speak up unless I absolutely believe that an injustice has been done... as long as the WP and the related Admins know my effort and goodwill, Rob and the Gerbil can stalk and follow me all they want... I will just turn the other cheek. DMighton 04:14, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Resolute, I noticed you commented on the "Merge" thing. Thanks, but why is this stuff still going on? Seems a little silly. DMighton 00:27, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

It would appear that Robert is very firm in his beliefs. Someone also put one of his articles up for AfD, which may or may not be a bad faith nom as a result of this situation. Personally, I believe that it will blow over, and will let the process run its course. At any rate, the merge nom has spurred me to start a Jr B article as a test case to show what could be offered. Check back in a bit for Airdrie Thunder. Resolute 00:43, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I never would have put Anne Frank's Cats up for deletion... I do not believe the cats are notable... but it is not my business.... I believe the saying is ... "I'm sure it is noon somewhere"... it is notable somewhere to someone. DMighton 12:14, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Notability Essay

You should submit that notability essay somewhere, it's a terrific inclusionist rant. BoojiBoy 13:50, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

I have removed the merge tag from Thunder Bay Northern Hawks

Consensus has been reached. The only person post-AfD who wants a merge is Rob. It's gone on for five days, and the AfD was another five days previous. The matter is closed. If you feel that this is a horrible miscarriage of justice, go ahead and file an RFC. It's time to move on.

rude

In your talking about the deal or no deal article for deletion you were rude about the people who have actually put work in to the page, the contestants on the show and about the people who watch it. Also you generalise by saying that people are only interested in records. That cannot be said as it is just your opinion other people may share that opinion but not everybody.--Lucy-marie 12:09, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

I can handle criticism and constructive comments but please dont generalise when making sweeping comments and I think you were being rude over critical and inflamatory.--Lucy-marie 15:55, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Gastric bypass diet

I see were you voted to have this deleted, could you explain why as it makes no sense to get rid of very important article since surgery is one matter recovery is another. I am asking you to please reconsider your vote as this is too important to just get rid of. I have seen countless people after this operation get in terrible shape due to lack of knowing what to do after this operation..

Western Canada Junior C & D

Do you have any knowledge of any Junior C or D leagues east of Ontario... through Hockey Canada documents... I know they exist... but I don't know by what name... the only two I've found are the Noralta Junior Hockey League and the Saskatchewan Junior C Hockey League. DMighton 17:12, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Oops... I forgot... the Hanover Tache Junior Hockey League and the Manitoba Major Junior Hockey League... they are both sub-junior "b" leagues. Also, the league known as the Keystone Junior Hockey League seems to be changing its name to the Manitoba Junior B Hockey League. DMighton 18:09, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

There are many Jr C leagues around, but I doubt any are notable enough for inclusion. Due to lesser population, I think the cutoff for western Canada is about Jr B. I know that the Calgary Minor Hockey Association operates the Calgary Jr C Hockey League, but at best it would belong in an article about the association itself. I suspect most Jr C and lower leagues function similaraly. Resolute 02:48, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Ok, well... this is to tickle my curiosity then... I want to just do article pages for the leagues with no indy pages for the teams... Could you tell about some of these leagues or where I can get the info. If it is just too pathetic... I can always JUST include them on the "Hockey Choose-Your-Province" Article. But I want to research these, you can help too if you want... but I really want to... I'm a bit of a completist... I feel disgusted thinking their are more junior leagues that I don't know about in Canada. I guess if I run out I can jump to senior some day... DMighton 03:08, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Interesting, thanks for doing the research. Most of those team names coincide with communities/communty associations in Calgary, so I think it is safe to assume that Calgary Jr C is not notable enough for Wikipedia. But the information would certantly fit in an article on the Calgary Minor Hockey Association. Resolute 13:47, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Check this out: Hockey Calgary... it's a start. DMighton 03:57, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

I like. I'll see what I can come up with to flesh it out once I have some time. I've been wanting to expand the Alberta Midget Hockey League page, and this article would tie in nicely with four AMHL teams playing under the banner of Calgary Minor Hockey. Resolute 04:00, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

Redmile.ca

Hey. There exists an official website for the redmile. The articles psecifically lists other website, like the one for the blue mile in Edmonton. Why do you keep deleting the website reference?22:50, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

I just deleted it also - the standard for a web link is that it has to materially aid the reader in understanding the subject material of the article that contains the link. On the face of it, that site is just a big commercial. No reason to include it in an encyclopedia.Michael Dorosh^Talk 19:26, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Then how do you justify the inclusion of the blue mile? Should we delete the Coca-Cola webiste from ther Cola page too? The reason it should be included is that readers are going to go seacrh for it anyway. Just have it there in the referneces and save all that seraching, ya?DocEss 19:30, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

We're not discussing other pages, we're discussing the Red Mile. If the Coca-cola website does not materially aid the reader in understanding what Coca Cola is, then delete the link from the article. Ditto the Blue Mile.Michael Dorosh^Talk 19:48, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

The website TheRedMile.ca does materially aid the reader in his understanding.DocEss 19:51, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

In what respects?Michael Dorosh^Talk 19:59, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

It's full of pictures of the Red Mile, for one. It describes businesses that were integral to the creation of the moniker, it informs about upcoming special events in the area and other relevant factors.DocEss 20:02, 6 September 2006 (UTC)P.S. Why so adament? It's just one little link hiding inconspicuously at the bottom of the page, for goodness sake.

Western Hockey League

Resolute, do you know any of the farm teams for the WHL? Or where I could find out? DMighton 01:28, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

I do not believe the WHL uses a farm system. Listed players are placed on BCHL, AJHL, SJHL and MJHL teams, or even bantam teams, but there are no firm associations. Resolute 03:27, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

I plan on making the affiliates line optional for the template. See my talk page. Flibirigit 04:53, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

Canadian cities

No city in Canada conducts its own separate official census. Cities use a variety of data to come up with their own annual estimates, but these are approximations which an encyclopedia that relies on verifiability of sources cannot treat as definitive replacements for the census. Nobody in the discussion implied that any city consciously lies about its estimates, but simply that their data-collecting methods are geared toward producing estimates. No city in Canada has ever actually done an official census-style manual count of every resident within its city limits. Even Calgary's much-vaunted cracking of the one million residents barrier earlier this summer was based on a statistical approximation of the city's birth, death, inflow and outflow rates, not an actual head count. That's why we can't treat interstitial estimates as a replacement for actual census data. Bearcat 04:47, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

SJHL/WHL

I just found the 70s/80s SJHL standings for the Prince Albert Raiders and Swift Current Broncos... I may add them in the next day or two. DMighton 23:29, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

I added the Prince Albert Raiders' SJHL Stats (1972-1982). DMighton 01:48, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Help I want to add stats for the Broncos... but... where do they fit in? Should the SJHL Broncos have their own page do you think? Or should they be a part of the WHL Broncos page? The SJHL Broncos emerged the same year the WHL Broncos moved to Lethbridge... and lasted until the year that the WHL Broncos came back... What do you think? DMighton 01:41, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

Personally, I am to the opinion that they should be separate... but I want to know what you think... DMighton 01:45, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

I think it can go either way, but I tend to agree. The SJHL Broncos were definitely a distinct franchise relative to the WHL Broncos. I would probably go with what you suggest. Resolute 03:54, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

If the major junior team (WHL) has a continuous history at the highest level.. then the teams should be separate. But if the Junior team jumped to the higher level.. then those should be the same article. Flibirigit 03:56, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

Saskat Hockey

It looks as if the South Saskatchewan Junior B Hockey League has changed its name to the Prairie Junior Hockey League. DMighton 06:10, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

Founding Date

The proposed WHA was not founded in 1972. Why are we listing that date on this article? Resolute 06:34, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

This is where I found the info about the founding date. [1]

I know this new league did not start in 1972 [2] but it is what I found out on their web page so that is why I put it there. John R G 07:05, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

I went ahead and just removed the founding date and did not replace it with anything. It makes sense. John R G 18:13, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

I did not watch the game (the WHL tilt on SHAW TV was far better, IMO), but I have seen the highlights.

Founding of Flin Flon Bombers

The information in the Flin Flon Bombers article contradicts the information in the Spokane Flyers article about when the Bombers were founded. I'm sure the Bombers exists before 1967, but I do not know if they continually existed, while shifting leagues. Please let me know what you can find. Flibirigit 00:54, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

I am certain the Bombers history predates the WCHL, as my grandfather played for them in the early 50s. Whether it is continuous or not, I am not certain, and will definitely have to check it out. It is extremely likely that the Bombers predated the WCHL, and simply shifted from the SJHL like most other Saskatchewan teams did. The conflict with the Spokane Flyers exists because I used the WCHL franchise date for the Bombers rather than the team's original franchise date. I'm going to clarify that in the article. I am undecided if the infobox should say the Bombers existed from 1927 or from 1967 though. Resolute 05:44, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
