Quebec Phenix

Do you have a source for the location of the Phenix games? I have not been able to confirm much more than that they once existed. This one say a vague "two in Montreal" teams, but this and this say they were in Quebec City. Other explanations could be the newer sources actually used wikipeida to source those statements or that the Phenix played in many arenas including Montrael and QC. Maybe you could shed some light with French language sources? Thanks Yosemiter (talk) 18:51, 7 August 2018 (UTC)

Hi Yosemiter, I see you were quick to make a change to the CWHL page - I was trying to correct an error and happy to have you help. In 2007-08, both the Montreal Stars and Quebec Phenix played in Montreal. They did NOT play in Quebec City. The Quebec Phenix team was the old Quebec Avalanche team from the NWHL. They played their home games in several arenas notably Ed Meagher Arena, Maurice Richard Arena, and CEGEP St-Laurent. NOTE the team name is "du Quebec" which references the province, not the city (otherwise it would be "de Quebec"). Note: copied from this edit

It further appears that you are likely correct. In this case Wikipedia has probably been wrong for 11 years going back to this edit in October 2007, where the editor clearly put QC as the location but CEGEP St. Laurent Arena as the home arena, which as I understand, in the Montreal area. Still needs sources for the page though. Anything you can verifiably add would be appreciated. Yosemiter (talk) 19:06, 7 August 2018 (UTC)

Thanks @Yosemiter, I will keep an eye out. I have corrected the reference/URL for the 2007-08 guide. I would suggest adding the Toronto Star link - that is a good addition, too. PS, if you ever need photos, you can access them here https://www.flickr.com/search/?user_id=44934005%40N08&view_all=1&text=phenix (I assume you would need the attribution changed so that they can be added to Creative Commons - I can help).

I have updated your fix, thank you for that. As for the Toronto Star article, my only issue with it is that never actually mentions the Phenix as a team, just the vague "two Montreal teams" thing. We can put one-and-one together as it seems logical, but on Wikipedia, that is called original research and typically should not be included. That is why I was asking for a verifiable source where there could be no question. Even an old schedule with the home game's arena locations would help. The PDF just stated who was the home team, not the locations. Yosemiter (talk) 20:07, 7 August 2018 (UTC)

@Yosemiter Thanks for your help. FYI, the note that suggests several players were at U.Laval is also incorrect. The reference is dead... but if that writer suggested Laval players, he was incorrect in his writing. There would be more Concordia players than Laval players on that team. Also copied over from my talk page –Yosemiter

Then I say remove it. The roster is there if we want to list schools for each player. The statement was probably just a U.Laval alum who was a bit too proud of their school and added it to wikipedia. Very common type of sly vandalism on low-monitored/low-coverage team pages. (For future reference and better conversation trace-ability, try to keep one conversation on one page. You can also ping a user with the template {{reply to|Username}} to make the @ symbol ping the other user.) Cheers, Yosemiter (talk) 01:16, 8 August 2018 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited National Soccer Hall of Fame, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page John Wood (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Jack Whent

Hello. and thanks for your note. I'm afraid all the information I have about his career outside England is already on the article. As to your query about his year of birth: assuming his name is correct, then it looks like the year is correct also. If you check out FreeBMD, which carries >99% complete transcriptions of English birth records (not actual birth dates, just quarters of the year in which births were registered), and search for John Whent, there are very few, and the only John R. Whent was registered in the April–June quarter of 1920. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 20:32, 19 August 2018 (UTC)

Thanks @Struway2 I've had the same 1920 birthyear in my records, but I also have a 1954 program which said he was 30 years old (which suggests 1924 birthyear). If you email me at rds at footballmedia dot ca, I can email you his PCSL records. Also searching for more stories/records from his time in San Francisco.

› Mortee _talk 13:33, 24 August 2018 (UTC)

Thank you @Mortee and @SportingFlyer. I can help add more references over the next little while, as a goalscorer he did appear significantly in newspapers over more than a decade and I understand there should be some more text written about one of his clubs in the next year (ie, he was the all-time goalscoring leader for Canada's most significant league of his era. A quick note on WP:NFOOTY, how can/should that list be expanded? It is missing a couple of professional leagues in the post-1966 era; in the pre-1966 era for Canada (and several other nations), the top league would be a semi-pro or major amateur (ie, those were the primary/pro-level leagues in our nation... and yes, those players were paid). There is also no mention of Canada's top women's championship (keep in mind for Canadian sports like hockey and soccer, leagues have traditionally been built around regions and rarely go coast to coast because of the immense size of the nation... hence the reason so-called "National" leagues have often referenced only Ontario/Quebec). It can also be noted that several nations would have gaps in their international timeline, especially those nations outside of Europe (ie, there were fewer international opportunities). Much appreciated for your help!

Belal Halbouni moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Belal Halbouni, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 16:14, 27 June 2021 (UTC) Thank you User:Spiderone for the correction and will look at additional reference links.
