[edit] Edit Summary Request

I have noted that you often edit without an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This is considered an important guideline in Wikipedia. Even a short summary is better than no summary. An edit summary is even more important if you delete any text; otherwise, people may think you're being sneaky or even vandalizing. Also, mentioning one change but not another one can be misleading to someone who finds the other one more important; add "and misc." to cover the other change(s). Thanks! -- Kukini 19:34, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Somewhat belated welcome and query

As a member of WP:Wc, feel free to contact me for any assistance you may require in your wikipedia begining. But I have a question for you on this edit — what more do you know about the area and the run. And are you local, or just put two and two together (that's somewhat a specialized distinction you made).

   There are several facts I would like to have checked in the article as I rewrote it last week, and I haven't had time (To start) to locate someone in the Swiss, Italian, or Austrian wikiprojects who may be able to confirm a few things easily being somewhat local.

   Just as an example, I infer from club literature that the track is never used for bobsledding, and wrote it that way. It may not be used for luge practicing either. Then again, there is some distinction made between skeleton and cresta EQUIPMENT, or that may be a myth. Others also make 'cresta' into the name of a seperate sport, which I suspect is more a colloquialism, or club-term than a use widely observed world wide. I have established that skeleton, luge and bobsled use the same track, ideally holding 15-17 turns as defined for the various associations and the international olympic committee. So the questions devolve to why hasn't the SMTC evolved their run to follow suit, and such related matters. Apparently, they are content to have their ten turn track as a seperate 'sport' very related to 'skeleton', but not compliant with the olympics grade event of that name. Thanks for your time. // FrankB 14:44, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
