Thanks @Stephology:. This is a great addition to WP. I made several edits. This made me realize we could copy edit each other's contributions.

Here are some suggestions:

Hockey is an expensive sport with economic barriers to entry for members of disadvantaged or marginalized groups compared to other sports. [Can you find evidence of the average costs online and cite?] Its popularity varies by region and has a greater influence in certain cities while playing a large role in the cultures of many cities. [Needs citation]. While still lacking diversity, the NHL has made positive steps towards increasing inclusivity and regulating blatant racism. [Need citation and evidence of actual steps added here.]

Willie O'Ree

This article currently appears to completely overlook Willie O'Ree, who played for the Bruins in the late 50s and early 60s. Am I missing something that would account for this oversight? PK T(alk) 19:20, 1 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Jewish players

How come Jewish players aren't included?

Why are there no stats for Black or African players?

This page was created in my Political Sociology Summer course by @Stephology in 2016. The page has expanded to included over 60 citations and tables documenting the lives of non-Black players but not Black players, which is decidedly biased. The initial intent of the page creation by the first editor was to address the life of the first Black player to integrate the league. If you compare the difference between the initial creation page and the current version, it's as if Black players and their history have been erased. Beyond that, there are elaborate tables specifically discussing "non-Black" players as the header indicates. Yet, there are no tables on Black players. This is a perfect example of the systemic bias in Wikipedia editing. While @Stephology is a white, male editor from Canada whose critical work was commendable at the time because he arrived at his decision to create the page out of his passion for hockey and his curiosity about power inequalities around a lake near his home that was exclusively reserved for indigenous people. He did the hard labor of researching both subjects and as a result his mindset about race and ethnicity was transformed in the process.

I regularly teach WikiEdu courses at least once an academic year as a professor of music, culture, and women's, gender, and sexuality studies in upstate NY. I see this work as a form of knowledge activism and intervention to combat anti-Black and sexist blindness among Wikipedians whose contributions to the sum of all human knowledge can be abysmally biased. The difference page between the original article and the current version is proof. We gotsa do better, Wikipedians!

Another bias was that until a few minutes ago, this article was assessed as a start-class though it had over 60 citations and elaborate tables on individual players. So I re-assessed the article. It meets the criteria for a B-class article and I taught myself to make that edit. This is a systemic problem with articles related to Black subjects and living persons. Perhaps I should create a WikiProject for those tasks with Afro-Crowd. Please note: @Shanluan. sheridanford (talk) 12:14, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
