Hi Flibirigit, great to see that you are planning to improve the article on Bill Fitsell. Not too sure if you have access via your library, but there are a lot of great additional sources available through ProQuest's Canadian News, Business & Current Affairs database, which includes the Kingston Whig-Standard back to around the 80s.

@Connormah: I am now aware there is a biography for Fitsell on the Kingston Historical Society web site. I am digesting the information and I feel it will complete the Bill Fitsell Wikipedia article. Flibirigit (talk) 02:09, 6 December 2020 (UTC)

That sounds great, thank you. I can perhaps ask around the SIHR group to see if anyone might have a photo they are willing to release under CC. Connormah (talk) 06:51, 6 December 2020 (UTC)

• @Connormah: I have continued the discussion here for the benefit of other contributors. A photo of Fitsell would be nice. I could not find anything free on Flickr. I also suggest inquiring with the Original Hockey Hall of Fame for a photo of him. Flibirigit (talk) 19:19, 6 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• This biography could possibly be expanded to include more information about his accomplishments with the Society for International Hockey Research or the Original Hockey Hall of Fame. More details about the books he wrote might also be helpful to the article. Anyone else is welcome to contribute. Flibirigit (talk) 19:21, 6 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Thank you to @Connormah: for starting the OTRS process on the photo of Fitsell. Flibirigit (talk) 00:24, 11 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• @Connormah: it is unforturnate that the OTRS process did not get completed. I have been unable to locate a free image of Fitsell and have uploaded a fair use image instead. If you find anything free, please make the substitution. Thanks again! Flibirigit (talk) 23:21, 6 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
