[edit] Cat
Hi, Sbmcmull. I've glad to see you are enthusiastic about Irish-Canadian topics. We need more help in this area. However the Category:Irish Canadians is for WP articles only, not userpages. We have separate user categories for that. Please take yourself out of this cat. Thanks. Kevlar67 07:55, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

A few features that you might find helpful:

There are a variety of interesting things to do within the project; you're free to participate however much—and wherever—you'd like:
- Starting some new articles? Our article structure guidelines outline some things to include.
- Interested in working on a more complete article? The military history peer review and collaboration departments would welcome your help!

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask one of the project coordinators, or any experienced member of the project, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around! Kirill Lokshin 00:34, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Battle of Alberta
About your specific concerns:
- Calling the Oiler players 'Legends' while not giving a similar tag to the Flames leaders,
Then add a descriptor like “leaders”, “greats”, “favourites”, “stars” etc. OR we can agree to drop all such tags because they too easily become POV, and instead mention only measurable things like points, goals, who was the captain, who was the team’s leading scorers, who won MVP and other awards, who has had their number retired, and (in my opinion most important) who is in the Hall of Fame.
- or saying the 1986 series win was a 'moral victory', it does a disservice to both the Flames and the rivalry in general.The Oilers won more Cups, but don't forget that almost every time they did so they had to go through the Flames.
I think the way it is written now does put too much emphasis on Cup wins, whereas the article is really supposed to be more about the rivalry between these two specific teams. I think it should mention more in detail the results of their specific playoff meetings, and most important the all time record in both the regular season and playoffs. That being said the number of Cup win is the ultimate marker of success and something important to the fans, so it should be mentioned too. We shouldn’t remove that info, simply add more context by talking about the historical matchups instead.
- Really, what you had were two very evenly matched teams where Gretzky was the difference.
That’s one opinion! :-) … Kevlar67 02:47, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
