Welcome!

Hello, ToriaEm! Welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions to women's ice hockey articles, particularly the Sam Walther draft you submitted for creation in March 2020. I thought I'd let you know about the women's ice hockey task force, a collaborative effort to improve Wikipedia's coverage of women's ice hockey. Finding coverage of women’s players can be a challenge and there are plenty of roadblocks that can be very discouraging – having a community willing to help is essential and the women's ice hockey task force would love to be that for you. If you'd like to participate, join by visiting the Members page.

WP:WHOCKEY News – October 2020

Women's Ice Hockey Task Force Newsletter: October 2020

Kelsey Koelzer and Katie Fitzgerald of the Metropolitan Riveters (in red) and Kate Schipper (in blue) of the Minnesota Whitecaps, 2018. Hello WHOCKEY editors! The Women's Football/Soccer Task Force uses periodic newsletters to keep its members looped in on task force happenings and adopting the practice may serve useful for WP:WHOCKEY – let’s give it a try! If you have any feedback or ideas regarding the WP:WHOCKEY newsletter, please post on the news talk page. This newsletter is sourced and minimally altered from the WOSO April 2018 newsletter created by our own Hmlarson. Drawing further inspiration from WP:WOSO, work has begun on a few initiatives that will emphasize making more WHOCKEY links blue (similar to the work that WikiProject Women in Red does) and filling in the gaps within various league, team, and player, etc. articles. The hope is that the initiatives will make it easier for editors to find the pages and topics of most interest to them. Initiative pages are currently in the works and will be fully functional by the second week of the month. If you're interested in collaborating with others to make more links blue, once the initiatives are up and running, you’ll be able to sign up on an initiative page and help grow the lists, add potential references, resources, and create the articles. If there is a subject that you feel ought to have an initiative of it’s own, creating your own initiative is welcomed and encouraged. Did you know ... WP:GNG takes precedence over WP:NHOCKEY (which only includes players on women's national teams at the highest tier of IIHF competition)? Often times there is enough media coverage to meet WP:GNG or other notability guidelines. Be sure to tag the task force on the talk page of new articles with: {{WikiProject Women's sport|icehockey=yes}} Current and upcoming seasons for top-division leagues Australia: 2020–21 AWIHL season cancelled Austria: 2020–21 DEBL season starts 4 October Czech Republic: 2020–21 Czech Women's Extraliga season started 13 September Eurasia: 2020–21 EWHL season started 26 September Austria, Hungary, Kazakhstan, Poland, Slovakia 2020–21 ZhHL season starts 3 October 2020 China, Russia Finland: 2020–21 Naisten Liiga season started 5 September France: 2020–21 FFHG Féminin Élite season no official start date Germany: 2020-21 DFEL season starts 17 October Italy: 2020–21 IHLW season starts 3 October Japan: 2020–21 WJIHL season starts 9 October New Zealand: 2020–21 NZWIHL season starts 16 October North America: 2020–21 NWHL season starts January 2021 Canada, United States 2020–21 PWHPA season no official start date/no announced events Canada, United States Spain: 2020–21 LNHHF season started 19 September Sweden: 2020–21 SDHL season started 12 September Switzerland: 2020–21 SWHL A season started 26 September United Kingdom: 2020–21 WNIHL Elite season no official start date This is the last month of the AUG-SEP-OCT spotlight on Diversity in Women's Ice Hockey During the spotlight on diversity, editors are encouraged to celebrate the array of identities represented within the sport by improving or creating bio pages for ice hockey people of various cultures, ethnicities, heritages, religious beliefs, sexual orientations, gender identities, abilities, and other diverse characteristics. Next month kicks off the NOV-DEC-JAN spotlight on Collegiate Leagues! Have some new articles in mind or see some that need improvement? Add them to the Open Tasks page.
