	== Hello WikiProject Ice Hockey/Participant ==

	I am an advisor to the National Hockey League. With your help over the next few months I plan to review and correct any information on wikipedia relating to the National Hockey League, its franchises, players, executives and partership organisations. I am here to provide you with information. Your work is appreciated. --] 18:07, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

	Hi, as you may or may not know, some of us at WP:HOCKEY have banded together and are trying to get the various NHL Trophy pages to FT status.

	==Prod's==
	You might want to look where it mentions that they have to play 5 seasons or 100 games in a high level minor league like the AHL or ECHL. That in order to qualify if they have only played in the UHL/CHL they have to have won a major award etc. Which as far as I can find none of those 3 have. The whole purpose of these requirements were to avoid articles being created for exactly this sort of player who barely even made it to the ECHL. If I recall correctly some people didn't even want the ECHL included.--] 18:36, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
	:Since these have now been AFD'ed, I'll take the discussion there. -- ] 19:27, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

	== Removed prod for ] ==

	Few reasons for this. First, erotic horror and porn are completely different. Failing to meet ] is as irrelevant as failing ] if you aren't one. Subject needs to meet general or '''Entertainers'''. She's 1/2 way to general with one independent source. Second, the article was less than 8 hours old, so it's a bit quick to go for a prod on something with a legitimate claim for notability. I tagged it notability, hopefully the article creator will improve it from here.
	You said the only source was IMDB, but the only thing in IMDB that appears here is her real name and DOB. ] 09:03, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
	:That's fair. Thanks for letting me know and giving your justification. I did realize that she was half porn and half horror. However, I used the porn guideline because it was more specific and detailed than the ] entry on Entertainers. I should have acknowledged her non-porn in my rationale. I didn't realize that the article was just created, but I do still believe that she is not notable. I was tagging articles that I came across that were related to ], which was already deemed not notable. They both acted in ]. I did do a little research, and I could not find anything which would suggest that she would meet any notability guideline in Misplaced Pages. Since it was a new article creation and my prod nomination was weak, I'll give a bit of time for someone to assert the notability and provide reliable sources. -- ] 14:43, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

	== ] ==

	Good catch on this one. I was thinking it was a copyvio when I discovered it, but I wasn't quite sure how to handle it. I just cleaned up what was there and assumed someone else would spot it. Little did I know it actually should have been redirected to an already-existing article! Again, good catch. Way to keep on top of things. :) ] 23:51, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
	:Thanks. The copyvio wasn't too hard to find. I Googled a suspicious phrase, and found it right away. Since he was clearly notable, I figured I would write a quick stub. Once I had the stub partially written I realized he was in the HHOF. So, I knew that an article had to exist. It probably took me a bit too much effort to get to that point, but I got it. -- ] 00:14, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
	::Sorry, didn't realize he would have been under Mickey Mackay. So, what your saying for the next time I make an article I can use text from a book but I have to re-arrange and add words to sentences?--] 05:32, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
	:::No problem about the article title. It took me a while to notice that it was a duplicate, and I have been editing on Misplaced Pages for years. Also, Skudrafan is another long time editor and didn't notice it either (see above). The beauty of a wiki is that you can continue to improve it over time and other people find ways of making your work better. In terms of using text from a book, you must write it in your own words. When you use a book for information, you have to be careful not to take any full sentences out of it. One trick that I use when writing an article is to make point form notes of the facts that I want to include. Then, I put the sources away and combine the point form notes into sentences and paragraphs. This way, everything comes out in my own words. I'll admit that it has been a while since I have created an article of substantial length, but it does get easier as you get more practice doing it. -- ] 15:23, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

			:Yes. It appears that ] and in particular ] does not accommodate showing an alternate venue for a home game. The real answer is to fix that template to allow showing it as a home game and show the proper venue. Because as it stands now, it shows up wrong either way. Either it shows that it is a home game and doesn't show the arena or it shows the correct venue but shows up as a road game. Given that both are wrong, I would lean toward having the arguments passed to the template being correct (i.e. not flagging as a road game). That way it will be corrected when someone fixes the template. Looking at the code, it probably wouldn't be too hard to change it to accept the arena parameter whether or not it is a road game. But it is a little more complicated than I could do quickly. It might be worth reaching out to someone more experienced in that area of template editing. ] (]) 12:50, 8 December 2022 (UTC)

I have uploaded pictures onto Misplaced Pages before where I wrote to the copyright holder and asked for permission, but did you have to do that for the R. Davies pic?

	Following a ] in June 2011, consensus was reached to ] (i.e. administrators who have not made any edits or logged actions in over one year). As a result of this discussion, your administrative permissions will be removed pending your return if you do not return to activity within the next month.

			Hello,
	== MSU Interview ==

			The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Misplaced Pages, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this ''''''.
	Dear JamesTeterenko,

			You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.
	My name is Jonathan Obar ], I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Misplaced Pages administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the community], where it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.

			The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its ] and view its ] .

			Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.
	So a few things about the interviews:
	* Interviews will last between 15 and 30 minutes.
	* Interviews can be conducted over skype (preferred), IRC or email. (You choose the form of communication based upon your comfort level, time, etc.)
	* All interviews will be completely anonymous, meaning that you (real name and/or pseudonym) will never be identified in any of our materials, unless you give the interviewer permission to do so.
	* All interviews will be completely voluntary. You are under no obligation to say yes to an interview, and can say no and stop or leave the interview at any time.
	* The entire interview process is being overseen by MSU's institutional review board (ethics review). This means that all questions have been approved by the university and all students have been trained how to conduct interviews ethically and properly.

			Kind Regards,

			]
	Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at obar@msu.edu (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your name] instead.

Edit on 2023 San Diego Seals season

Good morning! You recently reverted an edit of mine on the aforementioned page. While yes, it is a home game, I was unable to find another way to change the stadium parameter. Hcoder3104☭ (💬) 12:21, 8 December 2022 (UTC)

Yes. It appears that Template:NLLGameLog and in particular Template:NLL game log/game does not accommodate showing an alternate venue for a home game. The real answer is to fix that template to allow showing it as a home game and show the proper venue. Because as it stands now, it shows up wrong either way. Either it shows that it is a home game and doesn't show the arena or it shows the correct venue but shows up as a road game. Given that both are wrong, I would lean toward having the arguments passed to the template being correct (i.e. not flagging as a road game). That way it will be corrected when someone fixes the template. Looking at the code, it probably wouldn't be too hard to change it to accept the arena parameter whether or not it is a road game. But it is a little more complicated than I could do quickly. It might be worth reaching out to someone more experienced in that area of template editing.
