Glen Featherstone; I've declined a speedy deletion on this article but it was a worshipful article written by the player's son -- I edited a bit but it needs attention and wikification.

If I can get some work done later I'll add a bunch of stuff to the article. I'd like some feedback on my contribution, since I'm not a native speaker of english so the text might need a copyedit. -- Krm500 19:47, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
Anyone mind if I remove the nickname paragraph in the lead. I've never heard someone calling him 'the beast', as far as I know 'King Henrik' is the most known and used nickname. -- Krm500 00:09, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
I'd like to help out on this article, but I'm not sure where to start or what to do.-- Serte [ Talk · Contrib ] 15:25, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
Been a while since I worked on this article but I just started again. I expanded the International section, but there is more to come. I will write a Early life section soon and expand the Frölunda section. Problem is finding good sources. I'm hoping to get this article to GA status for starters, my biggest concern is that the NHL section is "listy" right now. Could someone please help me with making that section better? -- Krm500 ( talk) 03:51, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
I added an Early life section, though it is not complete yet, years 1998 to 2000 are missing. I will expand the Frölunda section and the International section, but since I'm not a native speaker of english I would like someone to look over my contributions and also help with completing the NHL section. I hope this will be a GA soon! -- Krm500 ( talk) 04:43, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
I saw your posting on GoodDay's user page, and was just about to reply to you. You're in luck! I actually have a copy of Players in front of me, and the exerpt on Lowetide's blog is accurate. It supports his attempted suicide and Bobby Orr's charity game, but makes no mention of Gretzky so I can't help with that. The Winnipeg Free Press archives have stories on Heindl and Orr's charity match, and I'm betting one on his death as well. Only catch is they want $10 for a one-week access. I'll let you decide if you want to pay that. (I did find this as well: [1] ) You've got me curious though. I know the Calgary Public Library has the Winnipeg Free Press in its microfilm archives, but I am not certain of the date range as they haven't kept copies of any WFP papers after 1996. I am pretty sure they have the 1992 archives, but I'm not sure about 1980. So if you don't want to shell out for the online archive, let me know and I might be able to get to the right branch of my library on the weekend. In the meantime, I will add the material from Players for you tonight. I'll also check a history of the Memorial Cup I have to see if he was mentioned as having done something prominent in that 1966 final. Cheers! Reso lute 23:35, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
I had to revert this edit simply because I couldn't find any good references. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Best, Nicnote • ask me a question • contributions 22:11, 13 April 2017 (UTC)
After starting the 2021-22 NHL season with the team and seeing game action, [1] Komarov was assigned to the Islanders' American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Bridgeport Islanders, when he cleared waivers. [2]
This edit was reverted by Sabbatino to read:
After playing one NHL game citation needed at the start of the 2021–22 NHL season, Komarov was assigned to the Islanders' American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Bridgeport Islanders, when he cleared waivers. [3]
References
Sabbatino's explanation for reverting my edit was that I "missed the whole point..." I am still missing the point. Why is my version which states Komarov saw game action early in the 2021-22 season and references an official game summary as evidence of that inferior to stating that he played one NHL game and leaving that statement lacking a reference?
My edit summary was pretty clear at Special:Diff/1051815312. You cannot simply put a game summary and say that he played one game before getting sent to the AHL. You need a source that talks about him being waived and then sent to the AHL after playing one NHL game this season. – Sabbatino ( talk) 16:01, 14 November 2021 (UTC)
I just finished going through each AHL season fixing some of the major inconsistencies in style as well as all of the incorrect NHL affiliations. What I am left with though is a large undertaking facing the shift in formatting that we seemingly made the past decade or two... Starting in 2003, we have been colour coding our tables based on who made the playoffs (blue and green). However, in 2009, we also started colour coding teams that didn't make the playoffs (red). Requesting help to complete the tri-colour colour coding all the way from 1936 to present (or opinions on a better solution/removing the colour coding entirely).– uncleben85 ( talk) 20:08, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
So it seems like the PWHL is set on having no monikers or nicknames this season, instead identifying each team by their chosen city/location identifier. I propose that we switch the article names to the format of "PWHL _____" to match both the League's current marketing ( https://www.thepwhl.com/ for example, under Teams) and each team's individual marketing ( https://www.instagram.com/pwhl_newyork, for example). So the proposal is effectively moving the placeholder "Toronto PWHL team" to the apparent (if yet temporary) "PWHL Toronto", for each team.
