Right Sentence Structure?

[edit]

"named for Lord Stanley of Preston, then–Governor General of Canada, who awarded..." seems to be badly structured. Am I correct? Buscus 3 (talk) 03:14, 13 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Original Version of Stanley Cup

[edit]

The article talks about the three existing cups: original (1892), authenticated (1963), and replica versions (1993). The original version 'grew' in stove-pipe fashion until the 1940s, at which point it was redesigned to look like what we are used to today. The authenticated version was created in 1963. A current picture of the original cup shows only the original 'bowl'. Is it safe to assume (and maybe it should be added to the article), that once the authenticated 1963 version was made, the original version was taken apart with all additional rings taken off and most likely added to the authenticated version. This is just my assumption, but I am curious to know if it is correct.Juve2000 (talk) 00:13, 28 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Serge Savard name on Cup

[edit]

Hi, are you sure Savard name is not on the Cup 8 times because I did a contribution and it was reverted. If you click on this link and go to Quick Hits and then to Most appearances on Cup (player) you see that Serge Savard has 8 --> http://www.hhof.com/htmlsilverware/silver_stFFFs.shtml @Zzyzx11:. I suggest that if there may be a confusion to simply erase the word engraved and add Savard. Thank you. --Danielvis08 (talk) 03:10, 22 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, unfortunately the hhof site is full of errors. They, like a lot of the public, are confusing winning the cup with being on the cup. -DJSasso (talk) 03:12, 22 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Trustees

[edit]

I think the trustees section should show how each line descends. For example:

Trustee Year of Appointment Served Until Trustee Year of Appointment Served Until
Sheriff John Sweetland 1893 1907 P. D. Ross 1893 1949
William Foran 1907 1945
Cooper Smeaton 1946 1978 Mervyn "Red" Dutton 1950 1987
Clarence Campbell 1979 1984
Justice Willard Estey 1984 2002 Brian O'Neill 1987 current
Ian "Scotty" Morrison 2002 current

This is how List of Co-Princes of Andorra is done. Alternatively, it might make sense to use a timeline graphic.--Metallurgist (talk) 04:34, 25 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

TFA rerun

[edit]

I'd like to throw this article into the pile of potential TFA reruns for this year and next, but I'm seeing more unreferenced text than we're generally comfortable with at FAC. Anyone interested in helping out? If it helps, here's a list of dead or dubious links. - Dank (push to talk) 23:50, 10 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'm seeing 6 dead links and 1 dubious link today. - Dank (push to talk) 19:10, 11 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
You are more likely to get a response on the ice hockey wikiproject page. Most talk of this nature goes on there. I'd just post a link there to this discussion. -DJSasso (talk) 19:22, 11 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Wait, TFA re-runs are a thing now? Resolute 19:25, 11 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
A thing indeed. RfC is at WT:Today's_featured_article/Archive_9, and there's a discussion at WT:TFA now. I'll be posting my list there soon, covering one month this year and the four months next year that I'll be scheduling. - Dank (push to talk) 19:52, 11 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, unwatching here, but ping me if there's progress, please. - Dank (push to talk) 15:27, 16 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

125th Anniversary Commemorative Coins paragraph, Inclusion or Removal?

[edit]

I want to gauge everyone's opinion on whether the 125th Anniversary Commemorative Coins paragraph should be kept in or removed, does it or does it not meet notability as such? What ever the consensus is, I will abide. So let's go. YborCityJohn (talk) 18:14, 3 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

An entire section is overkill. A sentence at the appropriate point of the history maybe. Resolute 23:28, 3 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I put it together with the Stanley Cup monument mention. Alaney2k (talk) 20:25, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Engraving Errors

[edit]

This section claims that "Dickie Moore, who won the Cup six times, had his name spelled differently five times (D. Moore, Richard Moore, R. Moore, Dickie Moore, Rich Moore)." Is this really an error or just inconsistency? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.179.186.73 (talk) 12:19, 29 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Name inscriptions section's logic is not clear

[edit]

This section uses OR AND logic in the sentence explaining the conditions a player must meet to have his name engraved on the cup. But the logic is not clear at all, is it A OR ( B AND C) or is it (A OR B ) AND C, they are not the same at all and the way it is written currently means the former ( which might be correct, but you cannot expect everyone to know about logical operator precedence). This needs to be explained in a more straightforward way. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A01:E0A:69:1240:4588:2E1F:89CA:8088 (talk) 20:51, 9 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Picture

[edit]

The main pic in this article looks a little ridiculous with the Cup being all cropped out with a blank background. I'm not even sure the pic is real. The rest of the NHL trophies' pages have actual pictures of the trophies sitting atop a surface in a literal real-life setting.

Wouldn't this be better?

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/31/Hhof_stanley_cup.jpg

It's a regular picture like the rest of the trophies as well as sitting in the Hockey Hall of Fame like the rest of them. The current one isn't only cruddy-looking, but also unprofessional and even ugly. Shouldn't we fix this? 2601:42:3:63D0:28DA:A5C5:4B68:638D (talk) 09:38, 12 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Updated Cup photo?

[edit]

The 2015 photo of the cup is outdated with the recent season and maybe a newer photo of the cup with new seasons is better? 2600:1006:B1CF:4600:39B3:4113:5B41:274E (talk) 20:30, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
