I am an advisor to the National Hockey League. With your help over the next few months I plan to review and correct any information on wikipedia relating to the National Hockey League, its franchises, players, executives and partership organisations. I am here to provide you with information. Your work is appreciated. --NHLsource 18:09, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Hi Kim, I've noticed you peeking at my sandbox ;-) As you've probably noticed I'm working on an article about Jack Dryburgh. Do you know if he ever actually played for the Panthers? According to his hall of fame entry he moved south the play for them before moving back to Edinburgh as he couldn't get a job, but it isn't clear whether he actually iced for them. Do you have access to anything that would confirm? Cheers -- JD554 11:45, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks Kim, you're an absolute star! -- JD554 12:15, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi Kim, I've added your request for peer review of Nottingham Panthers to Wikipedia:WikiProject Ice Hockey/Peer Review as well. Might get some input from other Ice Hockey editors. -- JD554 (talk) 15:47, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

On 12 December, 2007, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article History of the Nottingham Panthers (1939-1960), which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Of course I'd be more tempted to call it a Steelers-Panthers rivalry ;-)

It's a good idea from Oldelpaso, but I'd be wary about calling it the "biggest rivalry in British hockey" as that is certainly POV, especially to Fife/Dundee fans or Guildford/Bracknell fans etc.

I wasn't around when the rivalry started, but from what I've been told it seemed to start in the 94/95 Heineken season when Sheffield were quite far behind but put a long run together to just beat Nottingham to the league title. All of this was, of course, whipped up into a frenzy by he-who-must-not-be-named. Then there were the finals which we seemed to always meet you in over the next few years and then "that" bench clearance in February 2001.

The finals and the bench clearance are well documented enough, but I can't find anything online about the 94/95 title chase. I've got Sluyter's A Game of Three Halves which might have something in, but it's probably better covered in his Seasons to be Chearful which I don't have. I'll let you know --JD554 (talk) 12:57, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

I think you're probably right. Although the seeds were sown 92/93 the rivalry itself won't have been able to start until 93/94 when they were in the same division. I'll check Sluyter's book tonight and let you know if I find anything useful. --JD554 (talk) 15:22, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi Kim, I've had a flick through A Game of Three Halves, but unfortunately it doesn't mention the rivalry. I don't think I have any other sources which would cover it, sorry. Although if I think of anything, I'll be sure to let you know. --JD554 (talk) 20:30, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi

could you email me please? PMA (talk) 11:11, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Well done on getting Nottingham Panthers to FA. I know you've put in an awful lot of work - it's thoroughly deserved! --JD554 (talk) 18:08, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

All I can say is I'm glad things are changing for the better! :Þ I'm not sure which page(s) you mean. Do you mean the season pages like Sheffield Steelers seasons? If so, the only other way I could see of incorporating it would be to split each competition into it's own section. A table could still be used at the top to give just the very basic information such as:

Or maybe the table could be split into a different table for each league and only showing the relevant competitions. The Autumn Cup column could then be removed from the Elite League part for example. JD554 (talk) 11:13, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

I notice you do not always add brief description when editing pages ie Nottingham Panthers - wikipedia says... It is good practice to fill in the Edit Summary field, or add to it in the case of section editing, as it helps everyone to understand what is changed, such as when perusing the history of the page. It's a good idea to set your user preferences (under Editing) to "Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary". I know its easily forgotten but it does help, well done with the Panthers page.

Hi Kim, I'm afraid I'm no expert on the images front. I think that image needs to come under the GFDL but how that gets proved when someone e-mails you I don't know. There seems to be more information at WP:IUP and I would think that you would get better (and more accurate) advice on the talk page there. Cheers --JD554 (talk) 07:05, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

Image:IMG 0007.JPG is now available on Wikimedia Commons as Commons:Image:Neith Nevelsons sketch-book.jpg. This is a repository of free media that can be used on all MediaWiki wiki's. The image will be deleted from Wikipedia, but this doesn't mean it can't be used anymore. You can embed an image uploaded to Commons like you would an image uploaded to Wikipedia, in this case: [[Image:Neith Nevelsons sketch-book.jpg]].

Hi,

As a regularly contributing UK Wikipedian, we were wondering if you wanted to contribute to the Oxford bid to host the 2010 Wikimania conference. Please see here for details of how to get involved, we need all the help we can get if we are to put in a compelling bid.

We are also in the process of forming a new UK Wikimedia chapter to replace the soon to be folded old one. If you are interested in helping shape our plans, showing your support or becoming a future member or board member, please head over to the Wikimedia UK v2.0 page and let us know. We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising, promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded.

You may also wish to attend the next London meet-up at which both of these issues will be discussed. If you can't attend this meetup, you may want to watch Wikipedia:Meetup, for updates on future meets.

We look forward to hearing from you soon, and we send our apologies for this automated intrusion onto your talk page!

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Category:British National League (1954-1960) players, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Category:British National League (1954-1960) players is a redirect to a non-existent page (CSD R1).

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Category:British National League (1954-1960) players, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Hi! Congratulations (and thanks) on the Panthers FA; I'm a big Panthers fan and it's a great resource. Was wondering if you could help me out... I've just moved from Notts to Blackburn, so I thought I'd look up the Blackburn Hawks on here before I went to watch them. And guess what... the page was awful. So I'm in the process of rewriting it, and was wondering if you could take a look and give me some advice? Cheers! AltitudeJunkie (talk) 02:15, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for getting back to me! I had a look and the original page was lifted off a website and posted by the original author, so strictly speaking that's OK I think! I'd appreciate any help you can offer. AltitudeJunkie (talk) 01:08, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

Might I suggest you type {{clear}} at the end of your "Userboxes" section on your userpage, just before ==Travels==. Currently the "Travels" heading and "Parts of the world I've set foot in:" are scrunched up against the left by the userboxes. — Twas Now ( talk • contribs • e-mail ) 02:46, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

Cheers! I've been wondering how to do that for ages now. KimThePanther (talk) 14:32, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

I have just thought of an idea that could help to improve your WikiProject (Nottinghamshire). I have looked at the counties in the East Midlands and Compared them to the amount of those counties with WikiProjects, they are Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire. We all share a common purpose, that is to work on the articles of our county's which includes local history, geography and biographies.

Therefore to help us share methods of research and many other needs (basically 'constructive collaboration' as I call it) I am proposing that we form an alliance, NOT a Merger. I believe an alliance allows us to be independent just as before but in collaboration as well. This could really benefit our WikiProjects and I feel we might be the first in Wikipedia's history. I am a member of WikiProject Lincolnshire, I have founded WP:Latin and have already proposed the idea with relatively positive feedback still coming in and have placed a notice in WikiProject England. 95jb14 (talk) 17:52, 24 September 2009 (UTC).

Hi Kim, I see you are a member of Wikipedia:WikiProject Nottinghamshire, and that you're also from Sneinton. I've recently made some major changes to the Sneinton article, and I was wondering if you had any feedback? Any thoughts at all - good/bad/room for improvement, etc. - that you could give would be very helpful. I'd really like to get Sneinton up to Good Article status at some point in the future. If you could leave any feed back on Talk:Sneinton, that'd be fantastic. Cheers, Anxietycello (talk) 14:44, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 12:53, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 09:21, 6 November 2016 (UTC)

I have nominated Nottingham Panthers for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets featured article criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Delist" the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 20:41, 11 April 2020 (UTC)
