Template:Vital article

Template:0.7 set nominee


Additional citations?

A reference improvement template was added to this article by BlackJack in October, but there is no explanation as to why it was added. Could BlackJack please elaborate? In what way, and about what facts and circumstances do you think the article is not good enough when it comes to references? This is essential to know, to be able to better this perceived predicament. I am eager to try to help out. 77.218.249.34 (talk) 10:42, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. There are large areas of narrative that have no inline citations to verify the content. Rather than specify individual statements it is better to use the global template. Thanks. Jack | talk page 11:07, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, thanks, not much guidance there, but I'll look in to it anyway. I don't have the time just now, though. It would help to know if there are some specific facts which you find implausible or if it is just a general feeling that the information is good if only it is sourced properly. 2A00:801:290:1773:8C7A:AF3:E5AA:B032 (talk) 09:45, 17 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
THere are a lot of "citation needed" tags throughout the text - so you should be able to see where sources are missing. But I also think the person adding the reference improvement template should be able to add some more thoughts than just a general suggestion that there are many missing inline citations. Are both forms really necessary? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.254.24.108 (talk) 12:08, 2 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
However there are a loads of sources for the article and I think most things seems to be sourcered readily. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:801:290:DA53:154B:D16A:F822:DDF7 (talk) 15:55, 13 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Shinney

Although the article currently states that "In old times shinty or shinney were also sometimes used in English for bandy," the word "shinney" is still commonly used for ice hockey in Canada, although colloquially. Laodah 06:06, 14 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting as that might be as a curiosity, do you suggest a change to the page on bandy because of this use of the word shinney for another sport such as ice hockey? Örtstedt (talk) 01:23, 25 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Bandy as an Olympic sport

You may think there is much written about speculations on bandy becoming an Olympic sport, but it's really not that much. Not if you compare to how it is sometimes discussed in other forums. Bandy is a sport often in the speculations about becoming the next winter Olympic sports, and views differs from those seeing it as natural that the sport should be at the Winter Games and cannot fathom why it isn't, to those who think it never should be even if it did reach all the formal criteria, because it's a sport which can stand for itself having its own world championship and so on. There are many people having views in between too. While some other winter sports sometimes seem to come to the Olympics just some years after being invented and not being very wide spread around the globe or followed by any big audiences, bandy has been around from before the modern Olympic games started and has a very dedicated following in some countries. There are truths to arguments for both sides and the debate must be able to be seen in the article. You could write much more about it, but I think what is in the article now is about right amount of information on this. /Bandy sport — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bandy sport (talk • contribs) 00:38, 15 January 2018 (UTC) Blocked sock.

Actually if you take a look at my edits, it was me who added a reference about possible inclusion onto the Olympic program. The paragraph you insist on adding (the part where South Korea decides if the sport is on the program) makes absolutely no sense. I have removed that part, but left the other reference. Only the IOC decides if the sport will be on the program, not if a country is competitive enough. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 15:03, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
It took some time to find this in the history section for the article. The text about South Korea seems to have had a reference in some news article. Is the article unserious or is it irrelevant? Your comment is not clear on this, Sportsfan. Irony iron (talk) 15:31, 9 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
While bandy would be a very nice addition to the Winter Olympic Games, speculation about this has gone on for decades. For the bandy fan, it is interesting to follow these speculations where ever they turn up in the news papers or other news sources. However, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and should present facts and actual information, not news which are too much leaning towards being nothing more than qualified guesses on the subject. I think it should be noted on the Wikipedia page on bandy that speculations like this are going on, but it is enough to mention it as a short remark. There is no need to go in on what the speculations say, unless, perhaps, if uttered by the sport governing body officials like the president and vice presidents of the Federation of International Bandy or committee members of the International Olympic Committee.

Big changes ought to be discussed

I just happened to come by and see that big chunks of this article had been removed today. This shouldn't be done without previous discussion, I think. Some of the removed parts were clearly referenced and relevant. Dammråtta (talk) 22:19, 16 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
