The rash continues...any chance you'd be willing to create a VAN logo for the future Vancouver Canucks task force? Thanks. – Nurmsook! (talk) 02:21, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
So Maxim and I have recently decided we are going to finish up the Linden article and go for FA status before the end of the month. Figured as the creater of the Canucks taskforce, you'd be interested in taking part. If so, take a look at the talk page. Kaiser matias (talk) 23:01, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
There are outstanding comments at Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of Vancouver Canucks players which you nominated that need to be addressed. If they are left outstanding, it is likely that the nomination will fail. If you are still interested in helping to make the list Featured, please visit the nomination page again.

I made some copy edit changes in Eric Brewer (ice hockey). Please feel free to revert them. If you would like I can continue to copy edit the article as that is the sort of thing I do. Let me know if you want me to continue. Best, –Mattisse (Talk) 22:31, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
– is required by FAC rules for scores. The reason is so that a score will not be separated at a line break. Your article will not pass without that. That is one of the FAC buggaboos. –Mattisse (Talk) 02:12, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
Hi, Nurmsook; I've edit conflicted a couple of times with you as I attempted to correct faulty dashes which have been introduced into the article since User:Epbr123's runthrough, where everything was correct. The new changes have used endashes where hyphens are called for, and you are switching correct endashes to html endashes, which isn't necessary. You can either revert back to Epbr123's version, or you could ask him to re-do it all, but the new changes (replacing hyphens with endashes) are incorrect, and the changes of hard-coded endashes to html endashes aren't necessary. Regards, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 02:29, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
Sorry about being mistaken about en-dashes on the win/loss scores. The last time I copy edited a sports article was about a year ago, and apparently the standards have changed since then. Looks like you took care of the problem just fine though.
When copy editing the article, I really got interested in his story. Just out of curiosity, why did he become a professional hockey player, since it is such a rough sport? Did his parents encourage him or were there hockey heroes in his childhood? He must have a very high energy level in addition to being an excellent athlete. –Mattisse (Talk) 12:15, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
User:Giants2008 left you some really good suggestions on the Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Eric Brewer (ice hockey). I fixed a few of the really obvious things (like the second wikilinking of Kamloops), but unfortunately I don't know much about sports so I did not do much.
I think the numbering issue is complicated. Personally, I think you did a good job. The point given that some editors use all numbers (with the usual rule about numbers under ten) and some spell all numbers out in my opinion is not an easy choice here. If you spelled out all numbers ten and over, that would be unwieldy. If you used numbers for absolutely all numbers ten and over, the text would be a sea of number since there are so many along with the many dates. –Mattisse (Talk) 18:32, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
Congratulations on having earned your first WP:FL during the last month. You may be interested in nominating your list for consideration as August LOTM and LOTD. It would also be great if you would consider voting on the current set of candidates for consideration as July LOTM and LOTD.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 05:57, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
Glad to see you back editing the Eric Brewer (ice hockey) article and making some really good edits. I'm sorry for any trouble I caused you. –Mattisse (Talk) 01:56, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
Are you interested in this feature, to make vandalism reversion quicker? I've looked over your recent contributions, and I think it will be a useful feature for you. Thanks! --Maxim(talk) 12:56, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
is now an FA! Congratulations!! Maxim(talk) 20:10, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
...It's just that they are ridiculously cluttered (especially places which have many "ofs" and "nows" and many don't follow proper grammer/syntax. - Lvivske —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lvivske (talk • contribs) 03:52, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
Well not exactly. If you look here, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Ice_Hockey/Player_pages_format) the structure of player pages say the Int'l stuff goes after the Career statistics. If it's GA or featured that's an exception, but for now if you look on the majority on player pages (i.e Alexei Kovalev) you'll see the International stuff is after the stats. --Hasek is the best (talk) 00:30, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Hello, all --
I realize that this is a distasteful subject to many in the horse field, especially among those with a love of show jumpers, but the John Edwards and Rielle Hunter affair currently in the news has opened up many, many questions on the subject of the late 20th century horse murders scandal. The reason for that, in case you don't know, is that Rielle Hunter was formerly Lisa Druck, whose father, James Druck, conspired to have her beloved show jumper Henry the Hawk electrocuted to collect the insurance money on him. This tragedy formed the background for a 1988 novel based on Lisa Druck's life, called Story of my Life by Jay McInerney. Later, in the early to mid 1990s, the actual horse killing scandal was exposed to the public through articles in the New York Times and Sports Illustrated, and then through a full-length book called "Hot Blood." An FBI investigation into the horse murders led to the conviction of a number of highly placed people in the show jumper and general equestrian sports world on charges of insurance fraud.
When Rielle Hunter's background was probed, due to her affair with John Edwards, it turned out that she and her horse were prominent victims of the horse murder insurance scam, and her own father was one of the orchestrators of the criminal activities. But in trying to link this information up to her bio article, it turned up that there wss no article on the subject of the horse murders at Wikipedia, doubtless because the scandal occured before the development of the world wide web. An article was just created today, but it is not comprehensive in scope and needs to be expanded greatly lest it be deleted. There is an article on the murder of the millionairess Helen Brach whose death, in 1977, was also connected to the horse murders scandal, and it too could use improvement.
I am looking for a few good editors who have the brackground to write the horse murders article, and to link it to the Helen Brach murder, show jumping, and Rielle Hunter articles. No need to reply to me -- if you are interested, you know what to do. I will try to help, also, as best i can, but the topic is far from my usual field of writing, and i would prefer to see it handled by those with the greatest depth of knowledge on the subject.
If you need sources to cite, you can find the best of them at the Rielle Hunter page in the section on her early life and family. Here are two more:

I am posting this identical request to a number of horse-rleated talk pages, so you may see it more than once, for which i apologize in advance.
