Talk:Hardball hockey
Rink hockey is Hardball Hockey is Hóquei em Patins and should be explained at Roller Hockey
[edit]Roller Hockey is the Wiki-venue to explain and document two things:
1.Roller Hockey doesn't simply mean Inline Hockey
and also doesn't only mean
2.Rink hockey and Inline Hockey.
Roller Hockey DOES mean two variants:
"Hardball Hockey - Hóquei em Patins - Rink hockey", and Inline Hockey.
There are two different varients of Roller hockey.
"Rink Hockey - Hardball Hockey - Hóquei em Patins", are all the same sport...and then there is another rollersport- Inline Hockey.
Complicating, yes, but clarification isn't ignoring Hardball Hockey and Hóquei em Patins by redirecting those queries to Rink Hockey.
Roller Hockey should explain both varients and respect world culture and namings offering further understanding to the public.
There are two different varients of Roller hockey.
[edit]There are two different types of roller hockey and the differences can be explained at Roller_hockey. Field hockey. Ice Hockey are described at Hockey. Hardball Hockey and Hoquei em Patins are Rink Hockey. All three are Roller Hockey. SO....
since inline hockey has its own page then Rink Hockey could too AS WELL AS Hardball hockey and Hoquei em Patins...IF not, then all should be explained with detail at Roller Hockey- It is important to point out that there is an equal number of folks in the world who call Rink Hockey- ROLLER HOCKEY and one page in WIKI can explain all of this. Hardballhock (alternate name and disambiguation)'
I understand your perspective but there are others and the public to consider
[edit]Please explain why so many Countries should not be able to use Roller Hockey to describe their sport? since Roller Hockey is what it is called their.Why should they have to refer to it as Rink Hockey. In 1992 people played the sport at the Olypmics and didn't call it Rink-Hockey- the last world championships referred to the sport as Roller Hockey. It is important to remember that your perspective isn't the world perspective or the world name. The public needs to know this when they look up the sport. In terms of the rink-hockey template it ignores the rest of the world names and the publics purpose- which is to gather juried information
In the past there was an article page called Hardball hockey that was repeatedly redirected to rink hockey, which makes as much sense as redirecting rink hockey to hardball hockey and is as disrespectful. Clearly both agree they are Roller_hockey. Inline hockey should be listed under Roller Hockey, and this is to the benefit of everyone invloved and shouldn't be the reason the Roller_hockey page is vague.
It makes all the sense in the world to place all the information and clarification at the Roller_hockey article simply because the sport is called Roller Hockey around the world and people who play Rink-Hockey also recognize the name. It makes sense to describe and explain the naming issues and to clarify inline hockey from (hardball rink, patins) hockey at the Roller_hockey site for everyone who visits to learn.
It isn't your choice to say a sport that has many inner-changeable names should be Rink-Hockey, especially when there is one over arching name for all the differnt names -Roller_hockey. So, again, in order to educate, and so as to respect evry countries nameing convention, WHY IS ROLLER_HOCKEY A BAD CHOICE?
It only makes sense to have a little page that redirects to Roller Hockey where the entire world can build one large page of information that is respectful and complete. IF the sport only needs one name Wiki isn't the place to do it- that is something for FIRS and CIRH to determine. Wiki should explain the differences and be a place for the entire world to clarify.
