Linus Omark

The Oilogosphere is the most active hockey blog community on the Internet. When someone posts something in reference to a player named "Youtube", the player they are talking about is Linus Omark. Just like Dustin Penner is the Flying Fridge. I pointed to a blog on the Oilogosphere that demonstrated the use of this nickname, so I don't know why you declared that to be insufficient proof of his nickname. Or are you saying that Youtube isn't his nickname? Genius McSmarts (talk) 20:44, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

BIA

Okay, sorry, I'm new to Wikipedia, and I didn't understand that you're in Pennsylvania.

I'll do my homework and learn more about how it works.

BIA means 'Business Improvement Area' - it's an unholy alliance of local businesses and politicians common in Ottawa.

It seems weird that I have to convince YOU that my community link is legitimate, but I can see why it's necessary.

So I'll get to work on that.

Thanks and have a nice day, Craig — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ottawaowl2 (talk • contribs) 15:55, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

open and shut case

Yes, it certainly appears that way. But such is not the case.

Thanks for info. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ottawaowl2 (talk • contribs) 20:25, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

Error in Template:Infobox NHL Draft

The error seems to be in the last line of the template which creates the link to the following year:

{{#ifeq:{{{year}}}|{{CURRENTYEAR}}| <!-- do nothing, so avoid redlink display --->|'''[[{{#expr:{{{year|{{CURRENTYEAR}}}}}+1}} {{#ifexpr:{{{year|{{CURRENTYEAR}}}}} > 1948|NHL|BAA}} Entry Draft|{{#expr:{{{year|{{CURRENTYEAR}}}}}+1}} > ]]'''}}

It looks wrong at the first place, because the default behavior should be to generate the link to the following year, not to do nothing. It should be replaced by some expressing using {{#ifexist: page title | value if exists | value if doesn't exist }} as a base. --Soccer-holic^{I hear voices in my head...} 22:27, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

Done. ^^ --Soccer-holic^{I hear voices in my head...} 22:33, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

Suspended NHL players

At the time, I did not know suspended NHL players were still active; I was following the NFL when their players are suspended they can be replaced on the active roster. There was no way to include their suspended status on the roster itself (like the injury status) so I just hid them. But you be assured that if another editor had reverted those players, it would have remain unchange (especially after I saw the Devils & Islanders' gameday rosters).

lauren o'connell

hello... trying to work out how my article doesn't meet wp:music... i know that city newspaper is a weekly publication localized to northwestern new york state but it's notable enough to be included in wikipedia so i though that it was good enough to use as a source... the other sources are national... the article in the atlantic refers to her collaboration with nataly dawn and does mention her in the first paragraph... since dawn is a notable musician associated with a notable band according to wikipedia i thought that was good enough to use as a source... filter magazine is a noted national music magazine published quarterly... the word is a well established music magazine in the uk... noisenoisenoise is an online music magazine from the uk... as far as i can tell all are reliable sources... i believe she meets criteria for a major music competition as she placed in the top finalists in the 2010 newsong contest which is a major national songwriting and performance competition for independent artists in america and canada... and she was mentioned in press releases made by the contest sponsor newsong recordings which is an established independent label as well as press release by the venue where the contest was held and one by broadcast music inc which is a well known and respected music representation firm... since none of them are reprints or advertising but original press releases that have no self promotion by her or any of the musicians featured in them i thought that they were acceptable... i also sourced an international contest held by musician am that she won... i'm fairly certain that it doesn't count as a major competition but he is another notable musician according to wikipedia so again i thought that it would be acceptable... the other sources are partially youtube videos that i used to reference instrumentation and musical style as well as a video interview... i thought that with all of the other references these would be ok to use... if i'm not mistaken you marked the article for deletion the first time before i moved it to my user page to fix it... since you seem to know more about this than me how can i keep my article from being considered for deletion... i've read the music notability page and it appears to me that she meets the criteria if only for the newsong contest... i've seen articles that have way less notability that haven't been deleted or even considered for deletion so i'm confused about this... if you could please let me know how to fix this or who i need to talk to i'd really appreciate it Max bemis is pretty cool (talk) 17:39, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
