Talk:Traditions and anecdotes associated with the Stanley Cup

message: This article's Good Article promotion has been put on hold. During review, some issues were discovered that can be resolved without a major re-write.  This is how the article, as of July 5, 2007, compares against the  six good article criteria:
:1. Well written?: Fail The lead section needs to be expanded. See WP:LEAD. Also, there are some gramatical errors throughout the article that need to be addressed. (Most of these errors have to do with the placing of words)
:2. Factually accurate?: Fail Footnotes #5, #28 and #29 do not display the source information. I would suggest looking into the article and correcting it. Also, the "Adventures" section needs more sources.
:3. Broad in coverage?: Pass Excellent work!
:4. Neutral point of view?: Pass Excellent work!
:5. Article stability? Pass It is nice not to have an edit war
:6. Images?: Pass Copyrights are both legal domain. 
Overall, a very good article. After you expand the lead and fix the sources, feel free to notify me on my talk page so I can evaluate it again. Good luck with the edits!
Please address these matters soon and then leave a note here showing how they have been resolved.  After 48 hours the article should be reviewed again.  If these issues are not addressed within 7 days, the article may be failed without further notice.  Thank you for your work so far.

thread_title: Good article nomination on hold

message: The line in "misadventures" (I think) that goes like "...they sip their brandy from the cup. When Denny goes to get his camera, leaving the cup resting on the edge of his balcony, the cup falls several stories to the streets of Boston,". That only happened in the show right? Not in reality. This should probably be pointed out as it may mislead some readers. BsroiaadnTalk 05:20, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it's clear enough. If you think otherwise, you can change it. --Клоун 14:42, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Maybe I'm mistaken

message: I have placed the paragraph about the Kenora Thistles in the Stanley Cup article itself, under the Challenge Cup era, for which is better suited. Flibirigit 17:21, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Kenora paragraph

message: Why is the cup visiting a couple small Ontario towns (Port Dover, Simcoe, Tillsonburg) considered notable enough to warrant mention over the Cups visits to the thousand other small towns? -- Scorpion0422 19:36, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Good question... I'd like to see a list of the places the cup has traveled to in order to visit each winner during 24 hours since the start of the tradition. Is there some reliable sources for this or would that be too close to original research? At the time of writing, the cup earlier today visited the town square of Ånge, Sweden. I also heard on TV that it tonight is visiting a private party (hosted by Samuel Påhlsson) in Örnsköldsvik since his first pro-team was MODO Hockey. A list should be limited to Ånge in today's example. --Bamsefar75 19:33, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: You know what Påhlsson did with the Cup? He served pasta to his friends from the bowl. --Krm500 00:56, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Question

message: How big do we want this list to be? Should we include every single mistake, or just a select few? Flibirigit (talk) 22:28, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Select at most five, cite it well. It can be chosen per consensus at the talkpage or just arbitrarily and can be changed up once in a while. :-) Maxim(talk) 00:19, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: At the moment there is only a cite for the introduction sentence. Would you care to chose which five? Flibirigit (talk) 00:30, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Plante's misadventures, the 1967 mishaps, the Pocklington  fiasco, Deadmarsh (first correction) are the first three that come to my mind. Maxim(talk) 00:34, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Errors in engraving

message: What's with the Bush + military photos being the primary photos on this page? I could have sworn that this was a page about the Cup, not US politics. —Ƿōdenhelm (talk) 14:20, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Those photos were used since they have appropriate licensing. If you have different photos with free licensing, please add them. Flibirigit (talk) 16:31, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Question 

message: I am going to correct it in a minute, but just thought I'd mention the irony in this, since it's under Errors in engraving.
Dickie Moore's named is spelled five different ways, and Jacques Plante's name four ways. 
Several teams were misspelled, the Toronto Maple Leafs was spelled "Toronto Maple Leaes" (1963), the Montreal Canadiens was spelled "Montreal Canadiene" (1965), the Boston Bruins was spelled "Bqstqn Bruins" (1972), and the New York Islanders was spelt "New York Ilanders" (1981) 
Moore's nameD?? 
And I'm not sure about it (anymore) but should it read Montreal Canadiens WERE, not was?? Tydamann (talk) 20:23, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Ohh The Irony

message: The color cometary on the cup said that the 1995 year was the first when every player hoisted the cup over their head individually and skated around the arena. Is there any truth to this? 03:05, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Every player hoists

message: OK, I've locked the article for two reasons: editwarring of course, and then this will give a chance to determine what's notable or not for inclusion. There's also discussion at WT:HOCKEY#Traditions and anecdotes associated with the Stanley Cup Maxim(talk) 22:45, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
