I do not want to be a wikipedia editor but I did notice what I believe to be a glaring error in this page. I tried to correct it and within seconds it had been reverted (which I am not suprised about because it was not formatted correctly). If I had found this page earlier I would have used it first.
Now I could remove the dubious part of the page but there does not seem to be any way to explain why, so there is every chance that some high-handed editor will just revert that.
I believe the first world championship was not held in America (as stated) but in Hammersmith, England, in early 1992. I am not 100% certain about the date but I am entirely sure about the other particulars because I was playing for the Molesey Maniacs at the time (who won). It was a genuine world championship, I recall teams from France and Germany being there. In fact thinking about it it might well have pre-dated the European championships mentioned which might be why they were called the European rather than world championships since both would certainly have accepted teams from anywhere in the world.
I suggest that someone else removes the contentious claim until the matter is resolved because I have no intention of getting into a delete/revert cycle which has happened before.
The most notable player in England at the time (in my view) was a character called Lee Jellyhead, the captin of our arch-rivals the London Lunis — Preceding unsigned comment added by Andylear1 (talk • contribs) 21:32, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
Recent changes
[edit]I have two minor comments on the recent changes:
I like the idea to include a list of notable unicycle hockey players. However, with only 1 entry, I'd say that the list is somewhat, well, unbalanced. I think that more should be added. There are many really good unicycle hockey players out there.
The new ref 10 seems to be a duplicate of ref 9. Both point to [1]. RolfSander (talk) 09:48, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
- I added another notable player and removed the duplicate citation CT55555(talk) 12:11, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
