Box lacrosse versus Indoor lacrosse

My personal belief after 11 years of playing the sport is that there is no difference... just another name for it... just like Boxla... I'd like to see the two articles merged under Box Lacrosse and then have a little write up about the different names.. also, the article is in desperate need of being expanded... as an example we might want to look at: American football.

New Page?

I just finished added infomation on the National Lacrosse HOF (see Lacrosse Museum and National Hall of Fame). There are currently 323 inductees into the HOF. Do we want to create a page tha lists them all? Stoneice02 04:42, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Hmmmm....my first thought is no - what we can do is add a category called National Lacrosse Hall Of Fame Inductees, and then go through each person inducted and add them to the category. The only drawback to that is that if pages don't exist for each person in the HOF, we'd have an incomplete list until we can add pages for each one.
I just looked at how the Hockey Hall of Fame did it - they have one page on the hall, another page for inductees sorted alphabetically, and yet another page for inductees sorted chronologically. So it looks like that's probably the way to go. MrBoo (talk, contribs) 10:19, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
I like that idea. I will start working on that this weekend Stoneice02 18:41, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Images

There are very few images on any of the lacrosse pages. Most NLL/MLL team pages have a logo, and there are a few other pictures on some of the team pages, but there are very few pictures on the player pages. I know very little about what images we are and are not allowed to upload.

Unfortunatly, it isn't so simple. Most pictures you find on web sites are copyrighted (i.e. someone owns the rights to use it.) For further information on this, see the image use policy. The best way to add pictures, is often to take them yourself. Sometimes you can find pictures online that have been release with a license compatible with Misplaced Pages. These are usually from other amateur photographers. For example, you may be able to find some on Flickr (e.g. search within http://www.flickr.com/creativecommons/by-2.0/).

Lacrosse player categories

There are categories for Category:Lacrosse players as well as ones for Canadians, Americans, and Australians. Should there be one for players of native heritage? If so, what should it be called?
