→‎Merger into Wall handball?: Just because things have the same name, doesn't mean that they are the same things....

:OK, after giving it some thought, I strongly feel the three articles should be merged. The handball federations in the three countries interact with each other on a fairly regular basis. There are some variations between the versions played in the three countries, but there is a great deal that is the same, too. Also, the [[Encyclopædia Britannica]] has only one article for "handball". I have created a page called [[Handball (wall game)]] that everyone can take a look at which attempts to combine the three articles. If there are no objections in the next few weeks, I shall redirect the links to American handball, Gaelic handball and Australian handball to point there.

::Hi. I have concerns. There is absolutely no justification that I can see in attempting to cover the American and Irish versions of the game in the same article. By your own admission (and unless something has changed in the decade since you made the statement originally, you cannot "say for sure or not if the rules and history of the sport in the three countries" overlap sufficiently. And yet you are advocating a merge. Without any input or consensus that I have noted. Perhaps it is worthwhile having an article covering the World Handball Council. Which also discuss the overlaps (if any) between the sports and their respective governing bodies. But dealing with all three (or four?) in one article seems inappropriate to me. And then some. (PS. If you are gonna open a discussion on a possible merge, please use the related merge tags. To tag the articles that you are proposing to merge. Instead of just unilaterally creating copy/paste CFORKs.) [[User:Guliolopez|Guliolopez]] ([[User talk:Guliolopez|talk]]) 20:27, 5 March 2019 (UTC)

::::Hi. RE: "In most most normal references, the sport is simply called handball". The same is true for the different types of football. People in Kansas don't call it American football. Just football. And people in Killarney don't call it Gaelic football. Just football. And people in Kent don't call it association football. Just football. This doesn't mean that they are all the same thing or should all be dealt with under the same article. As with handball, the different types of football may have had some common ancestry. But they are all different now. (With different rules, governing bodies, etc). And so trying to deal with them all under the one banner is unworkable. The project's naming, DAB and titling scheme all account for this. There is no reason to supercede that. The CFORKing and licencing issues with the content at [[Handball (wall game)]] have since been addressed by another editor.

The article says games are played to a set number of points. Is there a set standard? If so, how many points is it? Are the courts covered as is usual in the U.S.? Also, there is no mention of the ball. I assume it is the same as -- or nearly so -- that used in the American game. Is that so?

Revision as of 13:12, 6 March 2019

top handballers

The top handballers play on a Pro tour in the US. At the moment the top players include the likes of Ireland's Paul Brady, Tony Healy and America's Dave Chapman and Naty Alavarado Jnr.

The game requires unrivalled skill and dexterity and it's "perpetual motion" type action is used to train US astronauts.

Name

I have never, ever heard it called "Gaelic Handball". Always 'Handball' in English, or 'Liathróid Láimhe' in the Irish. Perhaps 'Handball (GAA)' would be a better title? 193.1.172.163 12:06, 19 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe "Gaelic Handball" is required in order to avoid confusion with other handball sports.--Casaforra 09:42, 6 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Broken link

A supossed webpage about Irish Handball, [1], leads nowhere.

Some more modalities

http://ca.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joc_de_pilota

Origins

Basque pilota is commonly known as deriving from the French Jeu de paume. Same for the "Gaelic Handball"? --Casaforra 09:42, 6 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

long list of people

A large list was added. I removed it, as such lists are not usually appropriate for sport articles...possibly if there is a specific championship, they might belong there with sourcing. I can't see it here.- Sinneed 13:14, 22 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merger into Wall handball?

It seems to me that this article and the articles on American handball and Australian handball are all really about the same sport and that the games played in the US and Australia all originated from the Irish game when they were brought there by Irish immigrants. I think the three articles should be merged into a single article called "Wall handball". There's a precedent for using the name "wall handball" since it appears on the official site of the World Handball Council. I'm not knowledgeable enough to say for sure or not if the rules and history of the sport in the three countries are different enough to justify there being three articles for them, though. I'd like to know what everyone else thinks. Sky Blu 2 (talk) 18:35, 14 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

OK, after giving it some thought, I strongly feel the three articles should be merged. The handball federations in the three countries interact with each other on a fairly regular basis. There are some variations between the versions played in the three countries, but there is a great deal that is the same, too. Also, the Encyclopædia Britannica has only one article for "handball". I have created a page called Handball (wall game) that everyone can take a look at which attempts to combine the three articles. If there are no objections in the next few weeks, I shall redirect the links to American handball, Gaelic handball and Australian handball to point there.

Hi. I have concerns. There is absolutely no justification that I can see in attempting to cover the American and Irish versions of the game in the same article. By your own admission (and unless something has changed in the decade since you made the statement originally, you cannot "say for sure or not if the rules and history of the sport in the three countries" overlap sufficiently. And yet you are advocating a merge. Without any input or consensus that I have noted. Perhaps it is worthwhile having an article covering the World Handball Council.

Well, there is the precedent that the Encyclopedia Britannica only has one entry for "handball" (you can go check if you want). Also, the names "American handball" and "Gaelic handball" seem to have been created by Wikipedia users. In most normal references, the sport is simply called "handball".

Hi. RE: "In most most normal references, the sport is simply called handball". The same is true for the different types of football. People in Kansas don't call it American football. Just football. And people in Killarney don't call it Gaelic football. Just football. And people in Kent don't call it association football. Just football. This doesn't mean that they are all the same thing or should all be dealt with under the same article. As with handball, the different types of football may have had some common ancestry.

Info needed

The article says games are played to a set number of points. Is there a set standard? If so, how many points is it? Are the courts covered as is usual in the U.S.? Also, there is no mention of the ball. I assume it is the same as -- or nearly so -- that used in the American game. Is that so? Kdammers (talk) 06:23, 27 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Further point of information requested: "All you have to do is hit the ball with or without fulls (depends on location)." My question is... What the heck are "fulls"? OffColfax (talk) 05:25, 24 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
