2001 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships

Hi. Clearly our sources are conflicting each other. Assuming your source is correct, why does the article for Morgan Hamm show only a medal for 2003 team competition in his medal count, while the article for Paul Hamm shows a medal for 2001 team competition when you are saying he was not on the team? 75.46.0.225 (talk) 23:40, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Your source was a list of historical members of U.S. World teams. I'm not sure how that's a conflicting source with the official results list. Can you find a better source that the FIG wrote the wrong name? Kolindigo (talk) 23:49, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Here is Paul Hamm's FIG profile. The bio says he lead the team to an unprecedented silver medal. His AA results appear in his results list. However, the team medal did not because they confused his name with Morgan's. http://exel.fig-gymnastics.com/events/athletes/bio.jsp?ID=1094 Also, take a look at the Logines' results. http://www.swisstiming.com/sports/gym/ag_wc2k1m/res-ind-qual.pdf There is no mention of Morgan. 75.46.0.225 (talk) 23:57, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

I suspect your source is incorrect. This following source also does not show any sign of Morgan being there. http://www.gymnasticsresults.com/w2001mqi.html 75.46.0.225 (talk) 23:49, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

I've done a news search and I believe you that it's Paul. I'm just looking for a free article to source it. I just don't want to use an unofficial site or a line in a bio for something like this. Kolindigo (talk) 23:59, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

OK, great. I'm glad we've agreed. 75.46.0.225 (talk) —Preceding undated comment was added at 00:02, 15 September 2008 (UTC).

Found a source. Reverting myself. Thanks for the heads up that FIG was in error. Kolindigo (talk) 00:09, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Your edits or discussions show that you may be interested in the new Gymnastics Wikiproject. Please join and help to start this new wikiproject. We need lots of members and lots of help. Wikiproject Gymnastics also contains the related sports of cheerleading, power tumbling, and trampolining. Maddie ^talk 19:28, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

By the way, you might want to archive your talk page, it loads pretty slowly.

Your idea sounds great, the box you've created is aesthetically pleasing. I can't say for sure if there are any errors, I can't see any ommissions but I'm not totally confident in my ability to notice stuff like that. I've got no objections, this is a great idea. Your knowledge of what is relevant to profiling gymnasts probably exceeds my own, my interest in gymnastics and competitions and professionals is very casual and I am ignorant of many of the interesting complexities of the sport. Thanks for being bold, it looks like you have contributed enthusiastically to this and other Wikipedia efforts, that's great. By the way, I know archiving can be easy to procrastinate if we are wanting to fix up some things prior to doing it, so to make it easier I was also bold and sort of cleaned it up a bit, like excess space and stuff. It should be easier to copy, requiring less scrolling and stuff. Tyciol (talk) 23:59, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Gymnastics Infobox

Hi Kolindigo, thank you for your note! The work you have done on the infobox is amazing...I very much like it, and absolutely think it should be added to the gymnastics articles here. I prefer the one without the height and music, just because those things can change, but honestly, it's awesome work all the way around. I'm going to start adding it to articles now. If there's anything I can help with, please drop me a note anytime. Best, DanielEng (talk) 00:02, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

Age controversies in gymnastics

On 2 July, 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Age controversies in gymnastics, which you recently nominated. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Mao Asada

You commented : easily dated and completely unsourced, and you need to source that better than just linking to the results archive for the last ten years to say that she's never done something.

==

Sorry, I don't really understand what you're meaning. I linked past results of her performance in the last couple of seasons which is best source, I think. What do you mean by 'source'? Do you want me to link 'EVERY' judges scores in order to confirm just what she never done? Or do you think that a certain person's careless comment in website or newspaper is more believable than ISU official site? Please make sure what is best source to confirm her jump composition and each scores.

<added later>

Will I refer these pages to confirm that her triple axel jump is never perfect (It's not her trademark! Are you joking?) and she never jumped triple salchow? Do you really like it? That's terrible. Please show me what to do.

Chinese name convention

Hello, please stop moving/redirecting pages containing Chinese names. e.g. Sui Jianshuang, not Sui Jian-Shuang. Because it's the Chinese name convention here. The 2nd and 3rd characters are combined as a given name. No need to use - in between. It doesn't matter what other websites say, but most Chinese names here follow this rule. If you want to edit in this way, you have tens of thousands of editions to do. Ramtears (talk) 12:11, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Hey. I moved that article, and other Chinese rhythmic gymnast articles, because that was the way the name was split up in the FIG biographies. It was one word in the page that the article was generated from, but that page also stated that the gymnasts were artistic gymnasts and not rhythmic gymnasts and since that site could not get even that basic information correct, I did not trust them on the spelling on the name. I hadn't realized that Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Chinese) covered hyphenation. I'll know from now on. Thanks for letting me know. Kolindigo (talk) 19:17, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Unit conversion templates for infobox

Kolindigo, I wasn't able to find a MOS on which unit conversion template to use. The only standards I know of are here. From that, with regard to skating and gymnastics articles, I basically get that metric units should come first (except for purely US-based topics), but that metric and imperial units should be provided.

When I standardized height for figure skaters, I wanted cm to be the main unit (as that is the unit of height used by the ISU), but then I wanted ft in to be the imperial unit (since that's the unit Americans most recognize with). I believe I used Template:Convert, so that I could have the units in centimeters instead of meters. I don't believe Template:Height allows for centimeters. I agree that Template:Convert is more general, but more confusing. I just looked it up the first time, then copied the syntax.

Ksenia Semenova Article

Hi,

I am unclear why you reversed my latest entry on Wikipedia. Wikipedia permits copying materials based on a GFDL license under their rules. The website is a source of valuable information on Ksenia, and the Signature Skill is a notable and relevant fact of Ksenia that is noteworthy on a biography page. The mere fact that it's a "fansite" shouldn't in and of itself constitute a link that is illegitimate and requires removal. The content on the "fansite" is licensed (photographers granted permission to use images. VisualRian images are used under a license. The new clips were licensed by Russia Today. The remaining clips are used under the fair use provisions of U.S. Copyright law.

No hard feelings, but please help me to understand why this website can't be added and the Signature Skill was removed.

Update = Saw your message. I'll take a closer look at your comments and confirm the accuracy of my post. Thanks for replying.

Ksenia Semenova Article Update

Hi Kolindigo,

Again thanks for posting your note on my talk page about the reversal. I've reviewed the link on the External Link policy. I am however still unclear on the basis for the removal of the Ksenia Semenova Online website, since it's a website that is clearly related to her. I do know in general fansites are well-known for stealing copyrighted content. However, the content on Ksenia Semenova is licensed, and the limited performances fall under 15 U.S.C. 107 of the Fair Use provisions since the clips are limited to Ksenia's performances and are incorporated in a Transformative nature into a new product. News clips are either licensed or linked to externally making no infringement. The photo gallery contains absolutely no photos that aren't licensed to be used.

The External link policy doesn't explicitly state that "fansites" aren't linkable. However, it does strongly caution against linking to websites that don't use content legally by copyright infringement, and I know fansites are commonly responsible for this.

Anyhow, no hard feelings. I'll withhold on linking Ksenia Semenova Online back on the article for now, but I'm wondering if you can point out what content on the website causes it to violate the terms of being linked to on Wikipedia. Perhaps I'm overlooking something and need to make a correction on the website.

Thanks and have a great weekend!
