Where did Linden get the surname van der Linden? Was he born with it, and why did he get rid of it?
I think the game where Trevor Linden checked Jeff Norton through the glass should be referenced. Liface 21:32, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
"Where did Linden get the surname van der Linden? Was he born with it, and why did he get rid of it?" Is it possible that was his families name, and the family changed it? Possibly before he was ever born? Marcus1060 02:44, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
I know this is in vain, but: Could IP users please stop vandalizing/tampering with the nickname part of the infobox for Linden? Myself and others have had it revert it numerous times. Consensus would be 'Trev' and 'Captain Canuck' for nicknames. Someone seems keen on dubbing him 'The Purse', which isn't a term I've come across in 16 years of following his career. This section isn't how one or two fans or whoever refers to him in their own time. The nicknames are supposed to represent how a large number of the fanbase or observers refer to him commonly (or have in the past, as in 'Captain Canuck'). I won't bother dignifying other recent anonymous vandals by stating what they chose to call him. Check your adolescence at the door, please. Thanks.-- Keefer4 01:45, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
I have a friend who grew up in the Kits area and used to be Linden's neighbor. We were wondering as to Trevor's martial status but it doesn't seem to be available here, unlike most other Canuck biographies available. I suppose it could be someone related trying to preserve some degree of privacy ...
Anyone now if he has a family ? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Panamajack ( talk • contribs) 01:19, 22 March 2007 (UTC).
I suggest pulling the GA and go to FAC. I'm going to fiddle, a bit, with article, and I think it will pass FAC. Thoughts? Maxim (talk) 00:34, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
Indeed it is possible, with the right amount of work. Might as well try and do it. Kaiser matias ( talk) 22:46, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
All said, it isn't really that much work, just needs to be done. Kaiser matias ( talk) 22:59, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
The reference of Rud's Canucks Legends: Vancouver's Hockey Heroes should be checked to see if it has the typo abolutely instead of absolutely, since the misspelling is in the article's quote. -- Michael Devore ( talk) 19:34, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
I was hoping to request a main page featured article on October 9, 2008 for this article because that is when the Vancouver Canucks season starts. If you have any objections, please ask me. -- K. Annoyomous 24 GO LAKERS! 01:23, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
Before this turns into an edit war, I'll explain why I reverted your edits of a few days ago. Though before I do that, I just want to clarify that I have nothing to do with the IP who has been starting an edit war, I'm not that childish. Anyways:
Thats why I reverted the edits the other day. Not that I'm against adding anything to the article, but what was added didn't really fit in with the article. Hopefully we can resove this without it turning into something ugly. Kaiser matias ( talk) 23:23, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

Since this is an article about a Canadian person, shouldn't it use Canadian spelling? I am specifically wondering about the spelling of "honor" instead of "honour" in the Jerome Iginla quotation (he is also Canadian). Eiad77 ( talk) 13:20, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
