Women's Ice Hockey Pages
Hello, I would be happy to help with improving the women's ice hockey pages. A while ago, I was working to get the tables on the history of women's teams to be similar to the one at Clarkson Golden Knights women's ice hockey, but only got through the first five ECAC teams alphabetically before I had other things I needed to do. Please let me know if we should proceed with this or if we should use a different format. Also, let me know what other areas are of primary concern for women's hockey right now. Hydra88 (talk) 22:39, 24 January 2017 (UTC)
- Thanks for the reply. There are a few things on the women's hockey pages I figured I would let you know to help with the editing process. Firstly, there is a difference between hyphen(-) and dash(–). Dash goes in between scores, records, and years (i.e. 2016–17). It took me a little while to figure this out, so I could see how you missed it. Secondly, there are templates you can use for schedules. See the format on the 2016–17 Clarkson Golden Knights women's ice hockey season page for details. Thirdly, for rosters, if you add "|women=yes" in each entry and in the header template, columns for weight and NHL teams will be removed. I think at this time, it would be best to bring the pages for 2014–15 up to standard before adding pages for other seasons. If there is a standard for all to see, then less explaining is needed for future contributors. Thanks for your help with getting this all set. Hydra88 (talk) 18:58, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
Further update: I made headway on overhauling 2014–15 NCAA Division I women's ice hockey season. That page mostly looks good now, although it might be wise to add something from the tournament that year. Also, I have made started making adjustments to team season pages from 2014–15. I've played around with the rosters to eliminate unnecessary columns, and I have been cleaning up infoboxes at the beginning of said pages. See Brown, Colgate, and Harvard to see what I have done. I have not touched the schedules yet since those are more of a pain. Good job taking the time to set up all those pages in the first place. Hydra88 (talk) 22:50, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
- Page looked pretty good. I made a few changes. I changed a whole slew of hyphens to dashes, including moving the page to a namespace with a dash in the name rather than a hyphen. Other, more important changes, we that I entered Providence's conference ranking for the season into the infobox, separated people in the infobox (such as assistant coaches and captains) with <br> instead of a comma, and flipped the ordering of the polls since USCHO.com is typically what I see listed first these days (not that it mattered for Providence). I also removed CBS from the USCHO poll since they no longer have anything to do with it. Lastly, I deleted the neutral site record for Providence for that year since they played no neutral site games, and I removed the conference record from the Overall Record box. I could possibly be able to undo that last point. I just have never included said record in that box as the template guide does not indicate one puts it there. I can't find a standard among men's teams, since, as I have discovered, men's college hockey is in almost as bad of disrepair on Wikipedia. Let me know what you think, particularly of that last point. Hydra88 (talk) 03:59, 27 January 2017 (UTC)
Proposed deletion of 2015–16 Ohio State Buckeyes women's ice hockey season
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/7/74/Ambox_warning_yellow.svg/48px-Ambox_warning_yellow.svg.png)
The article 2015–16 Ohio State Buckeyes women's ice hockey season has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- WP:NOT, especially WP:NOTLINK for this and all such lists. See its Talk Page.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Zezen (talk) 08:09, 1 April 2017 (UTC)

Hello, Bill McKenna. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Molly Byrne (ice hockey), for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:
- edit the page
- remove the text that looks like this:
{{proposed deletion/dated...}}
- save the page
Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

Ways to improve 2017–18 NCAA Division I women's ice hockey rankings
Hi, I'm Boleyn. Bill McKenna, thanks for creating 2017–18 NCAA Division I women's ice hockey rankings!
I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Thanks for taking the time and trouble to create this - it's appreciated. It's now been reviewed and has had some improvement tags added. If you have the time, could you look it over and see if you can help address any of the issues raised in the tags? Thanks again for your hard work.
The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

That was not easy to avoid deletion. I think we are facing an entrenched project. In fact, I wouldn't doubt that one of the wp:hockey guys will read this. Let me know if there any further articles about women's hockey that you might like my help on. I have access to SIHR hockey and newspapers.com. Cheers. Alaney2k (talk) 14:38, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
Hi. Thankyou for your participation in the challenge series or/and contests. In November The Women in Red World Contest is being held to try to produce new articles for as many countries worldwide and occupations as possible. There will be over $4000 in prizes to win, including Amazon vouchers and paid subscriptions. If this would appeal to you and you think you'd be interested in contributing new articles on women during this month for your region or wherever please sign up in the participants section. The articles done may also count towards the ongoing challenge. If you're not interested in prize money yourself but are willing to participate and raise money to buy books about women for others to use, this is also fine. Help would also be appreciated in drawing up the lists of missing articles. If you think of any missing articles please add them to the sub lists by continent at Missing articles. Thankyou, and if taking part, good luck!♦ Dr. Blofeld 08:54, 5 October 2017 (UTC)

Invitation to participate in study
Hello,
I am E. Whittaker, I am working with Wikimedia’s Scoring Team to create a labeled dataset, and potentially a tool, to help editors deal with incivility when they encounter it on talk pages. A full write-up of the study can be found here: m:Research:Civil_Behavior_Interviews. We are currently recruiting editors to be interviewed about their experiences with incivility on talk pages. Would you be interested in being interviewed? I am contacting you because of your involvement in Wikipedia’s Women in Red project. The interviews should take ~1 hour, and will be conducted over BlueJeans (which does allow interviews to be recorded). If, so, please email me at ewhit@umich.edu in order to schedule an interview.

Hello, Bill McKenna
Thank you for creating 2018–19 RIT Tigers women's ice hockey season.

Needs more Prose to meet the advice given at WP:NSEASONS. If we can't write prose we should just redirect it to the team article to avoid breaking WP:NOTSTATS.

WP:WHOCKEY News – October 2020
Women's Ice Hockey Task Force Newsletter: October 2020 | ||||||||||||
![]() Kelsey Koelzer and Katie Fitzgerald of the Metropolitan Riveters (in red) and Kate Schipper (in blue) of the Minnesota Whitecaps, 2018.
Hello WHOCKEY editors! The Women's Football/Soccer Task Force uses periodic newsletters to keep its members looped in on task force happenings and adopting the practice may serve useful for WP:WHOCKEY – let’s give it a try! If you have any feedback or ideas regarding the WP:WHOCKEY newsletter, please post on the news talk page. This newsletter is sourced and minimally altered from the WOSO April 2018 newsletter created by our own Hmlarson. Drawing further inspiration from WP:WOSO, work has begun on a few initiatives that will emphasize making more WHOCKEY links blue (similar to the work that WikiProject Women in Red does) and filling in the gaps within various league, team, and player, etc. articles. The hope is that the initiatives will make it easier for editors to find the pages and topics of most interest to them. Initiative pages are currently in the works and will be fully functional by the second week of the month. If you're interested in collaborating with others to make more links blue, once the initiatives are up and running, you’ll be able to sign up on an initiative page and help grow the lists, add potential references, resources, and create the articles. If there is a subject that you feel ought to have an initiative of it’s own, creating your own initiative is welcomed and encouraged.
WP:GNG takes precedence over WP:NHOCKEY (which only includes players on women's national teams at the highest tier of IIHF competition)? Often times there is enough media coverage to meet WP:GNG or other notability guidelines. Be sure to tag the task force on the talk page of new articles with: {{WikiProject Women's sport|icehockey=yes}}
During the spotlight on diversity, editors are encouraged to celebrate the array of identities represented within the sport by improving or creating bio pages for ice hockey people of various cultures, ethnicities, heritages, religious beliefs, sexual orientations, gender identities, abilities, and other diverse characteristics. Next month kicks off the NOV-DEC-JAN spotlight on Collegiate Leagues!

Help reviewing new women's college hockey page
Hi Bill - I added content to the Holy Cross Crusaders Women's Ice Hockey team, which was just a redirect. It's my first team page - I know you have worked on a lot of them. Would you take a look, and let me know if there is anything that needs to be fixed? Thanks! --PMCH2 (talk) 01:14, 23 October 2020 (UTC)

Battle of bloody Brook
Hi Bill. you updated the above article a few years back. I’ve been looking at the rollbacks etc and see Hope Atherton was Lathrops Chaplain and a contributor has said Hope was there. I know he was with Turner a year later but was he lucky twice ? Feel free to comment. Adin-Atherton (talk) 20:21, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
Someone called Ken quoted a number of survivors. See link below: https://www.findagrave.com/cemetery/2347043/bloody-brook-mass-grave
I seek to ensure accuracy since someone called “Ancestry fan” inserted Hope Atherton, which may due to an error in Hollister genealogy confusing two battles. The other being Turners falls.
Thank you Bill for your insight. I have found an accessible Schultz/Tougias title: King Philip's War: The History and Legacy of America's Forgotten Conflict Is this the source? These co-authors may have collaborated on a few titles. I will read it and report back.

Happy Spring WHOCKEY editors! After more than a year without international women’s ice hockey, we’re finally just a month away from the 2021 IIHF Women's World Championship! The IIHF Worlds, in partnership with the Olympic Games, are the most watched annual women’s ice hockey tournaments in the world and spark more interest in the women’s game than any other events. We have a great opportunity to enrich the fan experience by offering up-to-date and informative articles about players, national teams, and other subjects related to the tournament. The only women's players included in WP:NHOCKEY are players who have competed in the Top Division of the World Championship – meaning a bevy of player bios will get to be created in the next month. Hungary is set to make its Top Division debut and Denmark is returning to the Top Division for the first time since 1992. What an exciting time to be editing! Articles related to the 2021 Worlds that are in need of creation, updates, or edits are collected at the National Teams & International Tournaments initiative page. Please add to the list if you find something in need of attention so we may collaborate and help one another in the coming weeks.
WP:GNG takes precedence over WP:NHOCKEY (which only includes players on women's national teams at the highest tier of IIHF competition)? Often times there is enough media coverage to meet WP:GNG or other notability guidelines. Be sure to tag the task force on the talk page of new articles with: {{WikiProject Women's sport|icehockey=yes}}
What a wild ride the 2020–21 season has been! Many leagues were able to complete the season despite the need for alternations and amendments with respect to COVID-19. Hearty congratulations to all of the league champions – 2020–21 is definitely one for the history books.
Have some new articles in mind or see some that need improvement?

Women in Red 8th Anniversary |
In July 2015 around 15.5% of the English Wikipedia's biographies were about women. As of July 2023, 19.61% of the English Wikipedia's biographies are about women. That's a lot of biographies created in the effort to close the gender gap. Happy 8th Anniversary! Join us for some virtual cake and add comments or memories and please keep on editing to close the gap! |
