I have nothing to say (mostly).
I primarily specialize in pages relating to the Vegas Golden Knights prospect system (and others), having created Brayden Pachal, Kaedan Korczak, Isaiah Saville, Jiri Patera, Lukas Cormier, Layton Ahac, Mikael Hakkarainen, and Matt Murray, while having significantly updated Logan Thompson and Zach Dean. I also significantly contributed to Vegas Golden Knights and Thompson achieving Good Article status, as well as List of Vegas Golden Knights draft picks and List of Vegas Golden Knights players achieving Featured List status, and created the NHL All-Decade team article.
I'm also the founder, leader, and sole member of WikiProject Ice Hockey's Vegas Golden Knights task force.
My XTools analytics/statistics can be found here.

- Fill in the blanks of Lukas Cormier, which skips from the QMJHL finals to his NHL debut.
- Expand Jonas Røndbjerg, which currently doesn't even mention his debut that came two seasons ago.
- Expand the college section of Mason Morelli, which barely covers anything after his freshman year. Maybe even take it to GA.
- Update Patrick Roy with info from his 2018-2023 Remparts stint, which is currently entirely unmentioned on his page.
- Update prior VGK season articles with summaries,
transactions (19/20 and 20/21), etc. - Create Turkmenistan men's national under-18 ice hockey team
- Remember to add Victor Olofsson, Tanner Pearson, Alexander Holtz, Akira Schmid, and Cole Schwindt to List of Vegas Golden Knights players at season's end.
- Finish up Draft:2025 in ice hockey
- Remember to add Mikael Backlund to the Flames section on List of NHL players with 1,000 games played.
Longer-term
edit- Get VGK season articles to GA

Milestones
edit
EditseditAs of May 6, 2024. Might be off due to deleted pages/drafts.
Yes, I went about a year between edits 5,000 and 10,000, after it took me over six years to get from 1 to 5,000. |
ArticleseditArticle count slightly off from XTools due to a disambig (technically #5) and a redirect that later became a full page (technically #12, imo #21).

| I am truly shocked on how you didn't have this. Anyways, you 100% deserve it after all the work you've put into Hockey Wikipedia! Congratulations!. 45BearsFan (talk) 18:35, 17 July 2024 (UTC) |

| @The Kip, this is for you! From day one of being on Wikipedia, I have noticed your love for ice hockey—and for the Golden Knights. You've gotten Logan Thompson to GA, the Golden Knights themselves to GA, and created many articles about their prospects. The Kip, you were one of the editors who inspired me to edit Wikipedia, and because of that, I bestow upon you this specially made barnstar! XR228 (talk) 01:49, 2 August 2024 (UTC) |

Admin noticeboard shortcut
editScreaming into the void
editThe ARBIPA area, which is objectively overrun with POV-warriors seeking to "win" the propaganda narrative, would be far better if most (if not all!) of its most-active editors, backing either side of the conflict, were indefinitely topic-banned. You know who you are.
Nuking the topic's userbase and starting from scratch would be a great idea to try, but some apparently consider my opinion both a PA and casting aspersions on their behavior. Sorry that someone's finally seeing through your Wikilawyering, "but I'm just showing the facts!" garbage and calling you out on it. The Kip (contribs) 22:11, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
- As of the last month or two, admin consensus also seems to be that a prolific edit count/contributions in the area also effectively grants immunity from reports of incivility, battleground behavior, and AE weaponization, among other things; at worst, users get a weak-worded warning or two. The message is effectively that only new/uninvolved users have to play by the rules, while established ones have free range to be as toxic and/or manipulative as they want. Ain't that grand? The Kip (contribs) 20:00, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
On a partly-related note, I find the notion that some users are simply unblockable to be utter garbage. We all play by the same rules here, and managing to have your contribution count/quality outrun your policy violations shouldn’t grant you any degree of immunity from sanctions, including indefs. The idea that “well, their contributions are valuable” or “but they’re correct” effectively arbitrarily creates a class system in which experienced editors can get away with things that less-experienced editors would’ve quickly been blocked for, due to some warped conception of opportunity cost. There is no such thing as an irreplaceable editor. The Kip (contribs) 16:17, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
