Talk:Lists of Canadians - Knowledge (XXG)

than an accusation of laziness. My BEEF was, is, etc. that without a STANDARD for who is famous (or going the idiot route of "changing the name of the page") then the pages TOTALLY AND COMPLETELY loses its value. And, given that I for one believe this site, beyond the benefits derived from being sponsored by a psychological assessment group, can be worthwhile: a one-stop shopping point for an amazing amount of info (provided the info input comes from Kalula Balula (et al) in Tangiers etc.etc. who actually knows what is relevant knowledge worth telling the world about. THIS IS NOT A PLACE FOR YOU TO EXPRESS YOUR VIEWS AS CLICKED ON GOOGLE OF HOW THE REST OF THE WORLD IS. IT IS A PLACE FOR THEM TO TELL US. (I?m sure you still won?t get it.) YOU, not me, decided to open the famous Canadian page to every one who ever lived. Like me or not folks, I created one hell of a lot of well thought out and valuable articles for which I do not need to list on a Wiki resume and espouse my greatness (note, I even revealed the Dutch Prince's bribe taking that someone originally ?forgot? that they prefer to not air in public (aka the Dutch Watergate) because I don't believe in hiding reality or creating propaganda....makes a better world and fosters understanding etcetcetc. MY DAMN GOOD Famous Canadians page had learning (that I think is the encyclopedia goal, isn't it?) value. I am very interested in the Famous French and from its popularity, I?m sure as hell not the only one. Will be very interested in the Mozambique page and its TRULY and LEGITIMATELY famous citizens so that I can LEARN. (From THEM, not the wiz of Wisconsin.)

last remark, there is no doubt that this stuff is way over your head. There are (May, 2002) 3.4 billion people with access to the Internet. Make an effort to present a Knowledge (XXG) that has value (AND THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE A MUSIC BAND STARTED UP LAST WEEK, or AN AUTHOR SELF PUBLISHED BY IUNIVERSE ETC. Let me repeat: Famous pages are good, they will in fact attract users and readers. But must be limited to Famous. I gave a solution before but was RUDELY shouted down by your clique members. This was in fact, as Ortolan88 said, a MODEL PAGE that I set up. I suggested a very limited number of famous in the various category lists with a sub list like what was in the authors. AND, I said I would use my experience and considerable (repeat considerable) knowledge of Canada to place these names but if anyone didn?t agree with me, I said to move the name (like the incredible world wide superstar, Time/Newsweek/People/Paris Match cover band the absolutely amazing, fantastic, brilliant, something something TANYAS) from the sub list to the FAMOUS PAGE list but put a note as to why you think they belong. THAT ladies/gentlemen solves the problem. But, I was put down, attacked and told no, no, famous is a blah blah (where is Jeronimo with his morons when really needed) So, you have a nightmare mess that no one will bother with. AND, there were 3-4 hockey players on the list. I can guarantee you, that before long every one in Canada will be listed on a page three miles long. All Canada has is good beer and great hockey. Sadly, I hate beer and ?. |DW

663:" is satisfied. You have created the mess I warned about. Now, the WWF wrestlers (who in fact is incorporated as an entertainment company not sports) are now ion the FAMOUS sports list of Canadians and several hockery players have been added. Within a short time every Canuchk who ever played Junion A, AHL, or the NHL will show up. The "FAMOUS CANADIANS" list is now so long and so worthless (as I warned and your little group crapped on) that no one will bother anymore. Thanks. It is really great to see the collective genius gathered here. Truly sad, to see people who claim to be any particular citizenship that suits their need at any moment and espouse things for which they in fact have no proven qualifications of any kind other than an ability to type on a computer screen to profess to be anyone or anything. Now that you have in fact insulted Canadians with your IMPOSED definition of how YOUR Knowledge (XXG) should be run, are you proud of your fine work? Suggest you have created a monster, because the disease your limited intellect has created will soon spread to the U.S., Dutch, French, and other pages. Suggest your abilities that appear to be limited to copy and paste from Google, be used elsewhere. Knowledge (XXG) is now being visited and scrutinized by someone from a major Canadian newspaper. It will indeed be interesting to see their article. Thanks for destroying a page for a Conuntry you know nothing about. I look forward to your screwing up the Dutch page, another country you know nothing about. .....DW 2429:

and Housing (Ottawa, Main Offices on Aviation Parkway) "Village en Hiver" 48 x 96 in. 1997, Ottawa Senators NHL Hockey Club, Scotiabank Place, Ottawa, "Skating on the Rideau Canal" 24 x 60 in. 2003, Ottawa Hospital (Riverside Campus),Ottawa, "Quebec Town in Summer" 24 x 60 in. 1998, CTV Television Corporation, Calgary, "Neighbourhood Coverage" 24 x 30 in. 2001, CTV Television Corporation, Calgary, "Full Coverage" 24 x 60 in. 2001, Global Television, Calgary, "Live Coverage" 24 x 60 in. 2001. These are but a few examples of the many corporations that have collected the art of Terry Ananny over the past decade. Terry Ananny's work has been exhibited extensively over the past decades in Canada and the US including the 2003 ArtExpo in New York City. Her work is represented nationally in Canada from coast to coast by major art galleries. Ananny's paintings have been reproduced on UNICEF cards (9 cards), Canada Save the Children cards (1 card) and Children's Wish Foundation cards (6 cards). I think it is notable for a Canadian artist to have their work selected nine times by UNICEF for card reproduction. It is notable in the sense that this would not be possible for every working artist to achieve as the selection process for inclusion in the UNICEF Christmas Card Collection is done by a juried selection committee. UNICEF cards are also distributed worldwide which again enhances an artists recognition and notability. Reference

to the Netherlands; 4) A desire to return to Knowledge (XXG); 5) A beginning of a desire to maybe do an article or even so bold as to create a List of Famous Syrians (I used Syria because the President has said he is addicted to the web.); 6) A germination that all Americans (I am dual citizenship folks) are not Yahoos, not self-centered, not anti anybody, and some are willing to admit it is time to look outward and understand others. Go Bill Maher! (The education system worldwide teaches kids almost nothing about the rest of the world. Canadians biggest complaint is not that Americans know zip about Canada, it is that Americans don?t want to know zip about Canada. But Canadians don?t want to know zip about Mexico except for the name of a resort beach in January. Note the Famous Canadians talk page snide comment of some basketball statistic on Steve Nash by an American who obviously follows the NBA. I attempted to explain Nash's reason for being a famous Canadian by using the Matt Stairs example.) 7) A growing curiosity and involvement that will, through well written ?famous? people articles, make a visitor want to look at the lengthy sub list and learn more about Canada and with trust in the NPOV of articles will want to read other pages about other nations and the links that can take then to thousands of works of knowledge.

be basing your arguments on what some emigrants remember of the events. Let me make it clear: Princess Irene's wedding is generally not remembered by people under 40 and is only significant to people over 60 (and even then probably mostly in conservative protestant circles). If you're looking for a real controversial royal wedding, then look no further than Beatrix' marriage to Claus that followed. And we all know how "controversial" he remained and he stayed in the public eye, whereas Carlos is off the radar nowadays. Your assertion that some Catholic/Protestant conflict still plays a major part is simply untrue as these days the Netherlands is a mostly non-religious country, especially in public matters. In fact, Irene's wedding may be one of the last such conflicts before the widespread secularisation of the 1960s. Sure, there may very well be some resentment among staunch royalistic circles, but to claim this is a huge issue, or that the name of the church that played a role in it is somehow controversial, is patently ridiculous. It's something you've either made up or have blown out of all proportion, solely in order to attack Jeronimo. Of course, I will now have to start monitoring your edits to Dutch pages as it's clear you're

1253:, only grown even more rude, and evasive, and arrogant--and worst of all, dismissive. You need to work on that; at some point, people have to take the high road and be reasonable even in the face of others' rudeness, and go out of your way to understand the concerns of others and show them some respect even if you do happen to think they're idiots. That's how you gain credibility here. Another way to gain credibility here would be to have a consistent pseudonym and log in with it. Always editing under an anonymous IP is going to lose you some arguments; that's just the way it is, and always will be. Having credibility here is valuable; for one thing, it gains you presumptive deference in disputes. If I don't have time to read through every little post of some argument on a talk page, I just look to see what side of an argument Mav is on; or Axel, or Larry, or any of the other people I have come to know and respect here. I tend to assume they're right until proven otherwise (and that doesn't happen too often). -- 1228:. even after I gave detailed explanations and pointed out the quality and quantity of my articles. (Which no one has been able to criticize.) But, in the name of democracy, I went a step further and said: if you disagree, then add the personm to the "Famous" list but put a footnote for your reasoning. For that too, I was attacked, but when I added some hockey players or some of the most famous authors in Canada, I was deleted. That is a contradiction of these peoples own statements. And no, you will not block me because you need to asses facts first and weigh all the consequences for the validity of your project and its actions first. The facts will show I am correct, have had racist retorts directed at me because in fact and in law, I have followed what you have so clearly stated as Knowledge (XXG) policy. I am a valued contributor. In fact, if you have a panel to assess right from wrong, I welcome it...DW 1385:

Famous Dutch page with this famous band? And there are many more "famous" I and plenty of others could add to the Famous Dutch page. If you go that route you (I'm repeating again) you have a worthless list of mainly minor personalities that is presented to the world as "Famous Dutch." Shit, I know a Dutch person who is really famous because of his/her contributions to an incredibly great internet encyclopedia project which is of as much importance to him/her, me, and others, as the "Be Good Tanyas" is to the world of music. (I sure hope you are starting to get this. Maybe its a language barrier, because all the reasoning, logic, strategy, values, etc. has been fully explained on this page several times. No endless lists means exactly what LDC said. The Famous people pages for Canada or Cuba should be the representatives of their country to the world. One more and final time:

1366:

LDC's guidelines. If you think he is wrong, take it up with him, because I am tired of trying to bring a little professionalism and legitimacy to this page's presentation. Also, if you are from Eindhoven, and Philips has been in my portfolio before you were born, then, unless you are Canadian you are not qualified to put forth to the rest of the world who should represent Canada as their famous sons and daughters. Exception, might be a scholar with a Masters in Canadian Studies. That does not mean non-Canadians should not add articles to the sublist are make "cooperative" suggestions.

1370:

person or painting scholar etc. puts Steen on a sublist, I will gladly accept their logic because there are only about four people on the entire planet who are qualified to assess the impact of various painters worldwide. Likewise, any name with no article I put up can be deleted. Example: I did the article on Diane de Poitiers. But I sure as hell didn't run to list her as a Famous French person. Voltaire, Rousseau, Napoleon are famous. Does anyone think that a version of the "Be Good Tanyas" in France should be on the same "Famous French" page as Napoleon?

225: 912:, in particular the school children for taking care of the war graves for the Canadians who died to liberate the Dutch. And uncle Pieter said he remembers the ENTIRE country's shock at learning Princess Irene had converted to Catholicm ONLY months after it happened when a photo appeared of her on knees at mass in the ROYAL CHURCH of JERONIMO in MADRID. And, oh yes, at the same day, American blacks were still riding on the back of the bus. AxelBoldt, please e-mail her at: 1994:

the United States; being in this situation does not make any Canadian less Canadian, they can always return to their mother country and take up residence there again; of course an immigrant who comes to Canada and becomes a Canadian citizen may also have other nationalities. Canada does recognize dual national status; one does not have to renounce their other citizenship(s) when taking the oath to the Queen of Canada like the United States requires of its immigrants.

1626:

there's another ice hockey player that's famous and Canadian. But DW decided that the page he made was "finished". I found and find that an anti-Wikipedic attitude. Sure, we can discuss which persons to include and not, and it would be great if we had a semi-objective (the only objective one, as you pointed out, would be interviewing all inhabitants of this planet) measure, the Google hits counter, for all I care. We could try it.

1345:(I will only log in for the famous Canuck page. My stuff on an array of other light fluff or heavy s?t, I prefer to do anonymously and don?t care if I?m edited to death so long as someone improves it. And yes Zoë, you do a good job running around Wikifying my articles because my brain and dyslexic mind (that?s an excuse) can?t handle them properly. Your effort is a very valued one, that is why I didn?t go after you too hard. ?.DW 1269:

all-star player. However, as compared to my pet peeve, the "Tanyas", Bronco Horvath is a million times more famous than them, at least in Boston or amongst baby boomer NHL fans. If I am wrong with my approach, I will go away from Knowledge (XXG) because establishing and contributing to a page(s) that in fact provides no real value under the heading ?Famous?, would for me the same thing as participating in fraud.

320: 299: 124: 106: 215: 1589:

so for the sub-articles on culture, history, etc. Such articles could give a much better picture of Canada to the world (that's one of DW's objectives, if I'm correct), as they can put things in context. If such a collection of articles were made in the right way, there'd be no need for a "famous Canadians" article, and we could do with a list of all Canadians with articles, as a reference list.

194: 75: 980:"propose the other administrators to have you banned": Go ahead. I can just see the grounds: I called ALL Americans MORONS and DW was upset. Others called him a laiar: He proved them wrong with FACTS, going so far as to give ourt a family member's e-mail address while Elecectic and others hide behind an alias.... The administrators have brains, publicity agents, and lawyers... DW 2520:. i feel strongly about this, but i wont act without support (if i get it). i mostly want to see if my understanding of how to keep list articles and other articles clear of references to their being articles, or how to avoid confusion between articles, discussions, categories, and external links, makes sense to others besides me. ps the list is effin awesome. 1172:

say. Especially where there are detailed sublists, including a long list here is pointless and distracting. "Consistency" is NOT a goal of Knowledge (XXG). Well-written articles about interesting topics is. That means exercising some editorial judgment, and letting others here exercise some as well. Robots can copy names; that doesn't make a good article.

1201:. All he had done was to take that entire list and done a verbatim copy and past to this one. That paste up included transferring the exact details that you cited about Acorn and Atwood. He already expressed his intent to make the list unmanageable. I have now moved the sports personalities, including the hockey players to a new and separate list. 396: 2883: 2846:(22 Feb 1855 – 18 May 1916) was the first woman to graduate with a university Degree not only in Canada, but also in the entire British Empire at the time and, thus, a significant contribution to the heritage of Canada. She received a Bachelor of Science and English Literature Degree on 25 May 1875 from Mount Allison University, in New Brunswick. 2329:, in the section on the "Canadian Royal Family", notes that the Royal Family are "subjects but not citizens" of Canada. I realize that reading something in Knowledge (XXG) is not proof of its truth. However, having looked at the very lively Discussions about the article Monarchy in Canada, I gather the issue has already been debated there. 1305:

impart. American liberals like Ralph Nader and Michael Moore think Canada is the greatest place on earth but then far righties like Supreme Court nominee (failed) Robert Bork thinks Canada is the cat?s meow politically and judicially. Hopefully, after some new visitor reads about a Canadian scientist or a baseball player, or even

1376:

Gainsbourg? Marc Caro? Gerard Depardieu? Marshall Petain? Moliere (critically adored, but not exactly a household name)? Brigette Bardot? These are all famous French people. None of them is comparable in fame or importance to Napoleon. Until you can explain where and how you make the cut, you're wasting everybody's time --

They go home to the Netherlands every few years and have deep and lasting love for Queen Juliana, like ALL their family there, being the kind of people who understand the pain of the Nazis and the religious intolerance of 1963. And yes, she reminded me to say thanks to the people of 617:

134: 1863:. It's not complete, as some fields are missing completely, or do not have 10 persons listed. Furthermore, not all are annotated sufficiently, and the linked lists should also be created. Let me know what you think of the idea, and go ahead and try to figure out which persons should and shouldn't be in the top ten. 1433:

is going to pass by this list and will add a missing name, possibly a real famous Canadian. What gives me, you or anybody the right to delete that? It's valuable content, it's a famous Canadian, and he was not previously on the list. I'm willing to find a solution for this problem, and I think we can work one out.

1554:) and I invite people to move discussion on improving the article there. There's room to sign up, and I spent nearly a quarter of an hour setting up an intial plan, based heavily on DW's long comment above. Jeronimo, DW, and interested others: let's see if we can do for Canada what we did for the whole world. -- 1168:

works, is entirely appropriate and useful. Such short blurbs serve to further identify the person in question to the reader and give brief info to people who may not want to follow up with the full article. If you choose to leave a certain name here, don't delete the blurbs (but you can edit them of course).

2798:, I hear you. I think by definition to be a person with a Knowledge (XXG) article, you have to be notable, thus anyone with an article would be a Notable Canadian. Is there a stream of other Canadians with articles that aren't included in this list? Then perhaps the list needs to be broadened to include them. 2456:. It's quite a list. Her website has been blacklisted for aggressive spamming. Articles under her name have been repeatedly deleted (as non-notable) and finally salted to prevent recreation. It should be noted that she's attempted to place her name in dozens of Wiki sister projects and non-English Wikis and 1617:

articles. I wouldn't care in the least what criterion or definition they had used for "famousness", since all reasonable criteria will pretty much pick out the same people, except at the fringes, and I'm not interested in the fringes. Just like I'm not interested in the netherworld between infrared and red.

HillBilly Six on the U.S. page and delete a Pulitzer winner. The National Post is gonna have a field day with this insult to Canadians. I really do have a hard time toolerating fools. Or, possibly it could be what USA today referred to when it said Al Quida would use the Internet to create conflict...DW

2685:

This is a great article, haven't found anything equivalent on Knowledge (XXG) listing wide ranges of notable Canadians and organized by area of notability. I notice it started out as list of famous Canadians, now just list of Canadians. I think it would work well as a List of Notable Canadians, a new

1993:

There are many Canadians that live outside Canada; this does not (IMHO) make them less Canadian — perhaps other Canadians think otherwise. Many Canadians are forced to live in the US for financial reasons, jobs, or career opportunities. Even some Canadian corporations have many employees stationed in

1789:

I support the idea of having a top 10/20/whatever for each category here. How do we decide on the entrants? Voting? I mean, I guess a Canadians (Americans, too) would probably have mostly ice hockey players with the sportspeople, while Europeans will more likely remember Ben Johnson or Donovan Bailey

1777:

Don't let me stop you, but Bryan Adams has won 3 Grammys (13 nominations), 16 Juno awards (24 noms), 2 MTV awards (4 noms) and had 3 Oscar nominations for music, and had a single that stayed at #1 in the UK longer than any other. Thats pretty impressive, especially since his music is almost entirely

1616:

Suppose I sit in Senegal and want to learn about Canada. A page with scores of names, none of which I recognize, doesn't help at all. On the other hand, I would value it if someone else had made an editorial decision to produce a small list of famous Canadians, with one-line descriptions and links to

1432:

That's all totally cool with me. However, it's not totally cool with me if an editor starts treating other people's edits (which are subjective like his and just as good as his) by simply deleting them and not providing a solution. Sure, we can think up a nice list of Canadians, but no doubt somebody

1360:

Immediately you are testing me again and it is pure ignorance where your mouth goes before the brain. READ WHAT I AND LDC SAID. PLEASE!!!! I repeat, as you demand, "my proposal" for the umpteenth (and last) time on this page: Follow LDC's guidelines and also, if you think someone should be moved from

Playing the psychological game, I did bios on Bobby Orr etc. but deliberately did not do Gordie Howe who is ranked in the SI top three EVER of hockey. I was curious to see

941:

Just for the record: Conversion to Catholicism by a member of the Dutch Royal Family required the approval of the Dutch "government". Princess Irene was stripped of her title and she and her children stripped of any claim to the throne. That ban, because she converted to Catholicsm, remains in effect

928:

LOL... There's no need to accuse Axel of something he didn't do, I'm the one who pointed out the errors in your original argument (I'm surprised your superior intellect didn't pick that up ;)). And yes, you are still talking nonsense about Dutch sentiments. It's not surprising, given that you seem to

845:

Thank you Ed Poor. Her's the deal. We go back (and I will take it there) to where we were on the day Ortolan88 made the mistake of this a model page. I and I alone (boy some egos are really gonna hurt now) will set it up with "Famous Canadians". (If another knowledgeable Canuck wants the task instead

616:

The famous France page is pretty good and attracts a huge following. But, fill the page with fringe authors and a lot of newcomers will turn away and never come back out of pure disgust at the waste of time. Canucks don?t have France?s long history but they still have interesting knowledge to impart.

2689:

I also suggest to take out the people who are notorious for things that don't quite contribute to the common good, and keep it positive-focused ... for cult leaders and criminals, I would start a new List of Infamous Canadians. Or maybe List of Canadian Criminals and a separate List of Canadian Cult

2657:

Well, Anne Shirley should definitely be listed. I assume you're referring to the fighting game characters that have been added recently - and I would agree that those characters aren't notable and should not be listed. Several were redlinks, and most of the others did not have articles of their own

2614:

I'm with freshacconci on this - Black made his name from his well-connected family, through his publishing empire and other businesses, resulting in his being honoured with a peerage. The fact that he overstepped legal boundaries is a chapter in his lifetime, but it's not what he is most known for.

1419:

You're entirely right, J, there's no "objective" standard because there can't be. "Fame" is an inherently subjective thing, as is editorial judgment about what makes a good article. That's OK with me, and it should be OK with you too. "What makes a good article" may not be an objective standard,

LDC gave clear and specific examples of EXACTLY the type of people, naming names, establishing a reasonable basis and precedent for making a judgement. I repeat, I will make changes according to

1292:

I will add Beliveau to this sub list, but after I (or maybe someone else) writes a solid biography, then I/they will move it to the famous page. And, because I believe that Knowledge (XXG) has great potential, I will make the extra effort to go to the talk page and tell you why. If you think I?m (or

870:

That would be fine if the measure was objective, and not "I, DW, approve of it". That's not Knowledge (XXG). If you have an objective measure (although I doubt there's a good one), please present it, and convince me it's good. Once we have such a measure, we could indeed "guard" this page, and point

851:

Wayne Gretzky, Patrick Roy, Mario Lemieux, Claude Lemieux, Gordie Howe, Bobby Orr, Jake The Snake Plant, Bobby Hull, Terry Sawchuck, Guy Lafleur, Eddie "The Edmonton Express" Shore, Jean Beliveau, Mark Messier ... I could go on. Care to tell me which of these are not famous Canadian Hockey players?

575:

An idea to stimulate discussion: what about saying that, for each category (actors/writers/sports/etc) we choose, through consensus, say twelve (or whatever number) people to put on the main list. In exceptional cases, if there are thirteen very important actors, for example, than we could make the

JKemp has a thin skin. She could dish it out but she couldn't take it. Maybe you thought it was funny when she said all Canadians had medieval minds, but i didn't. The fuss over this page is it's too long. People are adding to it without even providing proper descriptions. Russ Jackson and Joe Krol

1588:

Although moderately useful, I think lists are less useful than articles. If and when the Canada article is rewritten, there's plenty of room to mention some of the most famous Canadians, in the culture, history, politics, economy etc. sections (one could even add needed sections). This is even more

1496:

Thanks Ed. However, I didn't want to get the last word, but I indeed didn't realise the "fight" was over. I fail to see how the solution presented is any different from original situation, and how it is a Knowledge (XXG) solution (with DW deciding the contents). Even if that has been explained many

1470:

Dear Ed Poor: It is only idiots who vandalize pages and only facists who choose an alias that insults Dutch senior citizens and it is absolutely fascist to label all Americans as "MORONS" which I note you have not condemned. Plus, if LDC's proposals were not valid to Jeronimo or Electiolllyaie, say

Regarding my e-mail to the Knowledge (XXG)-L mailing list yesterday, you're invited to explain your behaviour on that list (on behalf of Jimbo Wales, who owns the servers on which Knowledge (XXG) runs, and has the final word in most bans). It would be appreciated if you would subscribe, and discuss

Give me a break, and stop insulting my limited intellect. Too, my spouse's uncle thinks the new Amsterdam band called the "Smoking Tulip Kings" are really, really, famous. They were interviewed on RNI and have made a record and appeared in at least two clubs! Should I not proceed to clutter up your

And, I forgot to add, Princess Irene's conversion was kept hidden from the Dutch people and was in fact a hated Church because of its symbolism. For someone of your age, you would not even be aware of the "Pope in the White House" cries from Protestant all over the U.S.A. in the 1960 election....Dw

879:

Yep, here come the egos and idiuots removing more names again imposing THEIR will in contradiction of previous statements THEY accepted. Because you do not accept the dictionary definition, my intellect certainly is not sufficient to write a criteria to meet your needs. Therefore, forget it. We can

DW, we are all aware of what you think. But do you have any constructive arguments, something that can help solving this problem? Do you have a good measure for fame? Another solution? It doesn't help shouting around that you and your pages are so great and that we (especially I) are so crappy, and

However, I predict that in, weeks, months, years from now, somebody will come and change this (or another "famous" list) page, by adding, removing people, and/or challinge our "semi-objective" measure of Google hits or famousness points or whatever. And that should be fine, because it's Knowledge

It seems to me a sub-page can be where those who love Dave Keon or Dave Shultz from the big bad Flyers, or Mark Messier etc. can put him here and hopefully do an article. If I had control of Knowledge (XXG), a name posted would automatically disappear after a fixed length of time if no reasonably
