[edit] Just split the Flames in half

I have just split the Calgary Flames in half. This new Atlanta Flames article is missing some information, but it is pretty close to being complete. By the way, does anyone have a nice picture of the Atlanta Logo? the one on this page looks ugly. Masterhatch 17 August 2005

Good move. I had thought about splitting the article myself.

I've added some more detailed information, changed the picture. Better? --93JC 04:23, August 18, 2005 (UTC)

Much better. Masterhatch 18 August 2005

Nice article. Just noticed that the links for "Ken Houston" lead to pro-football player though. There's no article on the hockey player yet. --DonaldoKun 06:27, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] photo/ discription

the first photo is now a patch, but the discription refers to a photo no longer part of this article. anyone know enough about the patch to produce an acurate discription of it?Childhoodtrauma (talk) 19:32, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Consistency?

Perhaps this has already been answered, but I am a little curious as to why when an NHL team moves and/or gets renamed, each incarnation gets a separate article. This is not done for NBA, MLB, or NFL teams, which only have a single article each under the title of the current or most recent incarnation, which then covers previous locations and names in the franchise history. (For example there is not a seaprate article for the St. Louis Cardinals (football, not baseball) and the Arizona Cardinals. There is just one for the Arizona Cardinals that mentions the past locations and names the team was under. Yet the Calgary Flames and the Atlanta Flames have two separate articles.) Why aren't NHL teams held to the same standard? Or if it is indeed justified to have separate articles for each incarnation, why isn't there separate articles for multiple incarnations of the franchises for the other three major sports? Seems to me that there should be a consistent standard applied and currently the NHL articles aren't held to the same standard as the others... I think it would make sense to pick a standard and apply it to all sports. Unless someone has a good rationale about why the NHL should be a special case? 71.237.10.137 (talk) 20:13, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
