Talk:Portland Winterhawks

message: Section removed from article:
:The Portland Rosebuds were an ice hockey team based in Portland, Oregon which played in the Pacific Coast Hockey Association from 1914 to 1918. Later, the name was reborn when the Regina Capitals moved to Portland for the 1925-26 WHA season, the final one for the Western Hockey Association. In 1916 they became the first United States based team to participate in the Stanley Cup Finals. Their home arena was the Portland Ice Arena. They later were sold to Chicago and became the Blackhawks.
I removed the previous section from the article, as it appears to be meant for a different article? Maybe not? Flibirigit 03:01, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Umm, yeah.  That is all factually correct to the best of my knowledge, but has absolutely nothing to do with the Portland Winter Hawks.  Seems to me that the author might have chosen to put it in this article for historical perspective on Portland hockey, but it would be better suited as a stub article of its own.

replies: text: So what to do with it? Move it to Portland Rosebuds? Flibirigit 05:32, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, I suppose not, as this is a virtually exact copy of that article already.  I was searching for Portland Rose Buds last night... for no apparent reason it seems.  Guess it just needed to be pruned from the Winter Hawks article. Resolute 14:31, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

message: It was agreed at WP:HOCKEY, that we'd hide diacritics on All North American based hockey articles. At the moment Djsasso is breaching that agreement, by forcing diacritics being shown on a player in this article's roster. GoodDay (talk) 17:22, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I am not forcing anything. I reverted using BRD. The next step is discussion. You have spent the last year arguing that our compromise is no good and both you and Dolovis made sure the the rest of the wiki weighed in on the situation saying that our compromise was not valid or binding. As such since we have a picture of the player in his official jersey which has diacritics on it. That being a reliable source for how the league officially spells his name in English it should be left as is with the diacritics. -DJSasso (talk) 17:29, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Will you please respect WP:HOCKEY's compromise & revert yourself? GoodDay (talk) 17:30, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Please bring some facts to the discussion that support your argument for removing them. You voted to remove diacritics from players pages in Request for Moves which is against the compromise. This is my !vote against not having them in this instance which is no different from what you have done. So please bring some reliable sources or arguments that support your desired outcome. -DJSasso (talk) 17:39, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I already told you, I've no interest in the player bios anymore -- So stop bring it up. Is this a North American based article? GoodDay (talk) 17:44, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Irrelevant. You need to make your case why this article shouldn't have them. -DJSasso (talk) 17:46, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: WP:HOCKEY (which covers this article) has a diacritics compromise in place, which calls for diacritics to not be used on North American based articles. That compromise should be respected. GoodDay (talk) 17:47, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: The Hockey project page seems pretty clear - no diacritics at the Hockey Team pages.  A discussion should either take place at the project page to test if a change in consensus has occurred, or the consensus reached at the project page should simply be accepted.  The reasoning above by Djsasso is not making a case based on this particular team, but rather seems to be making a larger point about the "compromise".  --HighKing (talk) 18:13, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Indeed, it's a WP:HOCKEY matter. Anyways, I'm going to follow my mentors advise & give others a chance to input. GoodDay (talk) 18:14, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

text: Not at all. I believe this is a specific case. I think this particular page should use them for this one players name because we have reliable sources that indicate this is how this team spells his name. I am open to anyone discussing this matter. Its been advertised at this point on the talk page at the hockey project so anyone from there is able to come here and discuss the topic. -DJSasso (talk) 18:17, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
