[edit] Stub renaming
Saw your question on Alai's page but he seems to be busy, so I'll answer it: Yes, there's a convetion to use the country name or sometimes an abbreviation. — SMcCandlish [talk] [contrib] ツ 08:59, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
- Okay. Thanks. Kolindigo 15:42, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] User talk:David Spart/Chabad Messianism
Following a recent wheel-war over Controversies of Chabad-Lubavitch in which PinchasC did not let me write an article on Chabad Messianism even after an AfD implied consensus for such an article I was advised to write such an article in my user space. I have now done so and would be grateful for any feedback from you before I put it up. David Spart 00:44, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] notable competitions
I notice you've been undoing some of my changes to remove non-notable competitions from skaters' results tables.
NACS were developmental events, not elite competitions. In the US, selections were under control of the athlete development committee rather than the international committee that selects athletes for "real" international competitions. Most every US national novice competitor and many intermediates were offered the chance to participate in them. Participation in these events doesn't make the skaters concerned notable.
Similarly, having results at qualifying competitions below the national level doesn't provide any evidence of notability for the skater concerned. In particular, anyone can enter regionals.
Mid-Atlantics is a club competition sponsored by the SC of New York, not a regional qualifying event. Anyone can enter that event, and having a result at it is not evidence of notability. Ditto for Skate Detroit, Liberty Open, Golden West, Broadmoor Open, and some others I've been weeding out of the results tables.
Part of the reason why I want to get rid of these things is that any skater who is truly notable will have plenty of other, more notable competition results to put in their articles. And it will avoid confusion in dealing with cases like Zsa Zsa Riordan, who could fill up a table of her own with results from similarly meaningless competitions that do nothing to establish her notability.

- I have no problem getting rid of most of those, but I'd prefer to keep regionals and sectionals in. They are qualifying competitions for Nationals, and so while placing at one of those doesn't make a skater notable, it does mean the skater gets to go to Nationals. I also think it's interesting to see, at a glance, how a skater did at Nationals vs how he or she made it there (like winning sectionals, but placing 14th, or placing 4th at sectionals and getting on the podium). Of course regionals and sectionals don't establish notability, but I think they're important enough competitions by virtue of feeding into nationals. Sure, they don't make a skater notable, but I think they deserve to be in a list of highlights. Kolindigo 21:43, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Help for figure skating bios requested
sorry but my grammer is not that brilliant, neither my style in English. You just marked a few as a stub, what is OK. Erich Zeller, Uschi Keszler, Didier Gailhaguet, Rico Rex and Sally-Anne Stapleford. Could you please help? Thank you very much. Uwe Langer 21:44, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

- I agree, nothing wrong with stubs. But some of these translations were rather difficult. So I am not sure about the correct English. Thats all. Uwe Langer 21:08, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Goldenskate.com
Please stop spamming links to this website, thanks. If the website has information you wish to use, please incorporate and cite it. RJASE1 Talk 01:33, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
- I'm not spamming. I still can't understand why you decided to remove every single link to this site from wikipedia instead of simply reverting every spammed link by User:Gsk8 Kolindigo 01:59, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
