Hall of Famers

Jack Adams is listed as a Hall of Fame builder. He was inducted as a player. If he could be inducted in multiple categories he would almost definitely be inducted for his work with the Red Wings, but he isn't in as a builder, and never played for them. This list also has Brian Kilrea, Bud Poile, and Al Arbour listed as player inductees. They were inducted as builders. Most similar to Keith Allen and Murray Costello, who have notes saying that they played for the Red Wings, are acknowledged for their affiliation, but went in as builders despite never working for the team outside of their playing days. Your mileage may vary on Bud Poile there, he did some coaching for Red Wings minor league affiliates. 99.237.222.68 (talk) 12:43, 18 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You may want to bring this up at WP:HOCKEY, as I suspect there's a lot of these misplaced individuals, throughout the NHL team pages. GoodDay (talk) 13:53, 18 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in Detroit Red Wings

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Detroit Red Wings's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "HHOF":

From Chicago Blackhawks: "Blackhawks in the Hockey Hall of Fame". Chicago Blackhawks. 2018. Retrieved April 11, 2018.
From St. Louis Blues: "Award Winners". St. Louis Blues. 2018. Retrieved April 12, 2018.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. Feel free to remove this comment after fixing the refs. AnomieBOT ⚡ 16:25, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
