Thanks for the warm welcome, my ultimate goal is to help in archiving the visual history of North American ice hockey. 27JJ (talk) 14:45, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Flibirigit. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Mississauga IceDogs, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Flibirigit (talk) 14:30, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Take it easy my friend, what's the harm in adding that silver is in their team colours? It had been their entire time in the league. 27JJ (talk) 14:55, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please remember to follow encyclopedic procedures for supporting information, and see the above instructions for how to cite sources. Although you have good intentions, all information is to be cited. Flibirigit (talk) 15:56, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello there @27JJ. I have noticed that you have been making some really nice edits to OHL/junior ice hockey articles. That is why I am inviting you to join WikiProject Ice Hockey! Thanks. XR228 (talk) 02:42, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the warm welcome. I look forward to contributing. 27JJ (talk) 02:56, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@27JJ: You're welcome :). To make it a bit more official, could you put your username on this list. Thanks. XR228 (talk) 03:12, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please note that images do not go into the same category as articles. Logos and uniforms in the OHL should not be added to Category:Ontario Hockey League. Instead, a subcategory should be created such as Category:Ontario Hockey League logos or Category:Ontario Hockey League uniforms. Please see Category:National Hockey League as an example. Flibirigit (talk) 17:00, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for bringing this to my attention, I'll take care of it. 27JJ (talk) 13:32, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello there, @27JJ. I have a request for you. If possible, could you please make a jersey image for the Coachella Valley Firebirds? Thanks. XR228 (talk) 20:33, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, I'd be happy to. 27JJ (talk) 21:58, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! XR228 (talk) 22:09, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:OHL-MIS-07-12.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 02:41, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello JJ! I saw the Hockey jersey's you made, and I was wondering if you could possibly make the Hershey Bears jerseys? (or, if possible, teach me, so I can help with making hockey jerseys for wikipedia) If you were to make the Bears jerseys, I'd recommend after waiting until the bears drop their new uniforms (it's not really new uniforms, just an updated sleeve) Thanks! 45BearsFan (talk) 14:51, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I’d be happy to make the Bears uniform. I appreciate the tip as well, since I always make the effort to do thorough research and aim for up-to-date accuracy.

I use Adobe Illustrator to illustrate the uniforms. I have an extensive background in high-fidelity graphic design and these contributions are an application of my skill. Unfortunately, there isn't much of a walk-thru or anything even close - so I have built my own workflow. I ran a good deal trial-and-error to build it in the first place, so I'm required to problem solve and keep certain intricacies I've found top-of-mind while I illustrate. Although it is easier for me, and allows a good deal of customization and versatility, it also leaves a considerable margin for error. I really don't believe it to be the most efficient method, and it’s not something I could easily teach to someone, even if they had a solid background in graphic design or experience with Illustrator. My process and files could be difficult for someone to replicate without building from scratch.

There are likely simpler methods using software programs that are intended for pixel-based illustration, but I'm less familiar with using them. 27JJ (talk) 19:59, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add jerseyes to the infobox of defunct teams. Instead, please place the image in the appropriate section such as history, or team colours. Also, please see the edits summaries left by User:Echoedmyron. Best wishes. Flibirigit (talk) 16:08, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Now in fairness... I had done that with the first defunct team I illustrated. You had removed it from the appropriate section and moved it into the info-box. This was for the Toronto St. Michael's Majors.

I removed the image because it did not have a correct copyright license at the time. After the license was corrected, I should have restored it to the history section and not the infobox. Flibirigit (talk) 00:09, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Obviously I mean well, thanks for the patience. 27JJ (talk) 17:33, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nobody said you had anything but good intentions. Talk messages are only meant to help. Flibirigit (talk) 00:09, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I hope it wasn't taken the wrong way, because I do appreciate the patience. Not only these talk page comments, but also how you've taken the time to cover my tracks and ensure the data is linked properly on the back-end. You have been a great help as I learn the ins-and-outs of contributing. 27JJ (talk) 02:29, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
