Talk:Dallas Stars

message: The Dallas Stars are not a professional men's ice hockey team, they're just a professional ice hockey team made up entirely of men. Women can play in the NHL - nowhere does it say they're excluded, therefore no team in the NHL can be a professional men's ice hockey team. This should be rectified in the first sentence.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.58.81.61 (talk) 22:01, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

message: Are any of the Dallas fans out there freaked out that the 2006-07 season has eight paragraphs devoted to it, while the franchise's Stanley Cup victory has a single sentence devoted to it?    Ravenswing  03:28, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Though I'm not a Dallas fan, the 2006-07 section is 'way too long'. The Stanley Cup victory season (1998-99) should have the most info. GoodDay 17:51, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Another non-Dallas fan, but I agree. I wish I knew more about them so I could re-write that part. Maybe I'll do some reading up later, but probably not since I still have to finish off some other stuff on this site before committing to more things. And you wanna know why that section is so long (not sure if it has been reduced since you brought it up or not) it has almost a day-by-day type record. Forgot what they usually call that, but you know what I mean. They're adding every little thing that happens instead of only putting more important things. Bsroiaadn 06:43, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  WTF? 

message: Is that section really needed? Seems like a waste of space to me, honestly...either that or someone originally used it as filler. Either way, I don't think it should be there. Anyone else agree? Bsroiaadn 06:38, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: First Round Draft Picks

message: Why are the Dallas Stars and Minnesota North Stars pages separate?  the Minnesota Wild makes no claim to the North Stars history.  There is no reason for them to be separate. --Kitch (Talk : Contrib) 14:05, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Because all the 'relocated' NHL teams are seperated. It cuts down on page lengths. Also, the Minnesota Wild page makes no claims of being linked to the North Stars. The Minnesota North Stars and Dallas Stars pages cleary explain each other connections. Thus no need, for merging. GoodDay 14:22, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: There is no need to compress their history in the Dallas Stars article.  The old history can remain perfectly intact.  In addition, there is a good reason to keep the Quebec Nordiques/Colorado Avalanche, Hartford Whalers/Carolina Hurricanes, Winnipeg Jets/Phoenix Coyotes and Atlanta/Calgary Flames articles separate: they were in the World Hockey Association.  That reason is not valid in this case, as the North Stars are an indigenous NHL team.  There are not separate articles for the New York Baseball Giants, the Brooklyn Dodgers, the Boston Braves, the Philadelphia Athletics, the Kansas City Athletics, the Los Angeles Rams, the Los Angeles Raiders, the Houston Oilers, the Minneapolis Lakers, the Vancouver Grizzlies, or any other current team that has moved elsewhere and is still extant.  The only precedent are teams that existed in other leagues. --Kitch (Talk : Contrib) 15:27, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The Flames franchise was never in the WHA. GoodDay 15:59, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

text: Their history can remain perfectly intact as two separate articles as well.  So really, what is your reasoning for a merge, aside from WP:IDONTLIKEIT? Resolute 16:12, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

text: Rebuttal As I explained, I am not proposing merger of the former WHA teams.  And this separation is only used in the NHL, not in the WikiProjects for any other North American sports league. --Kitch (Talk : Contrib) 15:33, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

text: In addition, your first point endorses the other person's opposition (that merging may needlessly discount the history of the North Stars) as a reason to oppose it.  Forgetting the past is not a good reason to keep the status quo.  Keeping the full history in the merged article will permit the preservation of a full singular history for a single team. --Kitch (Talk : Contrib) 15:37, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Rebuttal To say only the NHL does it is not true. It also is done to MLB and NBA articles. And the point on losing history is a valid one as article sizes are supposed to stay around a certain size at which point you either cut out information (which we don't like) or you separate the information out into its own article.(which is already the case) --Djsasso 19:23, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

text: Reply: And not only to sporting articles.  Buick and Oldsmobile have their own articles, detailing their histories beyond General Motors.  Filene's, Kaufmann's and Jordan Marsh haven't been turned into paragraphs of the Macy's article.  And so on and so forth ...   Ravenswing  20:55, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Because NHL´s official guide and record book has Basil McRae listed at 382 pim in 1987-1988.

thread_title: Stats

message: Needs to be a Jersey section. Also, the entire article is awful short for a professional sports team. Their Cup win in '99 is hardly explained at all, as if it has no real significance. Does the team have a mascot? If so, it needs to be mentioned. Overall, much more needs to be done here. Love each other, or perish. ~Auden 00:36, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Jersey Section, and more

message: Okay, so, link-hopping, reading the article, and I find the following sentences:
:In 1993, amid further attendance woes and bitter personal controversy, Green obtained permission to move the team to the Reunion Arena in Dallas, Texas, where they were renamed, 'specifically', the Stars. The NHL, to quell the controversy, 'promised' to the fans of Minnesota to return in the future with a new franchise.
I was just wondering about the reasoning for the single quotes around "specifically" and "promised" (especially for the latter, considering that the next sentence informs the reader that that promise was indeed fulfilled). --Umrguy42 (talk) 00:23, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Because people have this funny notion, in the last few years, that putting quotes around a word means emphasizing it and constitutes good grammar.  I'd be quite content for them to go away.   Ravenswing  04:41, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: The Wikipedia-wide convention (and, indeed, a convention followed in almost all encyclopedias) is that the country is that at the time of birth, which in Zubov's case would be the Soviet Union.   Ravenswing  09:04, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

message: Why does it say in the General Managers section that Brett Hull is American? Sure, he was American citizenship but he still has Canadian, and since he was born here, hes more Canadian than American. I am changing it.

thread_title:  Uh 

message: I've done a lot of content addition filling in some of the gaps the original authors neglected, but now the article is looking very bare...  It would be appropriate to add maybe one of the players skating with the cup, or someone from the early Stars days or an example of each meaningful uniform.  Could someone with the know-how decorate a little more???  Thanks! 24.139.192.182 (talk) 21:08, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: This page could use a lot more pictures

message: Before 1978, the North Stars/Stars franchise had 2 pre-incarnations, the 1967-78 North Stars & the 1967-78 Seals/Barons. There was no demerging of this 1978 arrangement in 1991. If so? then not only would the Seals/Barons & North Stars belong in this article's infobox, but would also belong in the San Jose Sharks infobox. GoodDay (talk) 04:15, 29 April 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Previous incarnations should not be included in this articles infobox or others except those that are part of the league's and the club's official history.  Otherwise it opens the door for POV edits from other fans/historians to this and other franchises in the NHL and other leagues.  While there are oddities involving the histories of some pro sports franchise it's best to leave information regarding those oddities in the body of the article.
