Your GA nomination of Grand Prix de France (figure skating)

The article Grand Prix de France (figure skating) you nominated as a good article has failed ; see Talk:Grand Prix de France (figure skating) for reasons why the nomination failed. If or when these points have been taken care of, you may apply for a new nomination of the article. Message delivered by ChristieBot, on behalf of Arconning -- Arconning (talk) 14:43, 7 May 2025 (UTC)

Arconning, thank you for your comments regarding Grand Prix de France (figure skating). I didn't realize GA and FL were mutually exclusive. Because GA articles can proceed to FA status, I figured the same applied to FL. I had intended to nominate this to FL, but the turnaround time is so unbelievably slow. My World Figure Skating Championships is approaching the two-month mark, and British Figure Skating Championships is at a month. The list of articles I have on standby for promotion is numerous, so I thought I'd send some of these lesser competitions to GA for feedback in the meantime. Bgsu98 (Talk) 15:05, 7 May 2025 (UTC)

Arconning, also regarding this: "Licensing for the image of the trophy needs to be fixed." I uploaded this image, so if I did something improperly, please clarify what I need to do to fix it. I am not used to uploading images. Bgsu98 (Talk) 15:18, 7 May 2025 (UTC)

@Bgsu98 The image would still require a non-free use rationale. :) Arconning (talk) 15:22, 7 May 2025 (UTC)

Arconning, I don't see where this is missing? [1] Bgsu98 (Talk) 15:28, 7 May 2025 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) Not sure about the concept of actually going from GA > FL in the same method one would go from GA > FA, but there has been a movement at the FL project to remove pages that should have been sent to GA/FA instead of FL. Several season articles (more than I've linked here) have been delisted recently because despite containing a list of episodes, they are more traditionally classified as articles rather than lists. A more in-depth discussion occurred here I'd imagine a similar concept exists in reverse. TheDoctorWho (talk) 21:21, 8 May 2025 (UTC)

It seems there's a two-tier hierarchy for articles, but not for lists. I'd be happy to send all of my figure skating pages to FL, but the backlog is ridiculous – my World Figure Skating Championships has hit the two-month mark today, despite the source review being done last week – whereas GA allows for as many submissions as I want.

FL backlog

Hi, Bgsu. There are three of us who close FLs, so I'm sure someone will be around if they see lists that have a consensus one way or the other. When I looked earlier today, there were a couple lists I thought I was going to promote that had new reviews which were outstanding, so I held off on them. I also saw a lot of lists without image reviews, so if anyone watching this page wants to help us, that's one great way to do so. Both image and source reviews involve work that is integral to the process, but sometimes it's hard to find people to look at these things, and there's only so much the closers can do by ourselves. Giants2008 (Talk) 01:09, 12 May 2025 (UTC)

Giants2008, thank you for taking the time to respond. I appreciate the work you and the other admins do on behalf of the FL project. Bgsu98 (Talk) 02:47, 12 May 2025 (UTC)

Grand Prix de France (figure skating)

Hi, I saw you had to revert Pi bot twice with the Commons category, so I looked into it a bit more. It turned out that there were complications on Wikidata, since the Spanish Wikipedia had two categories for the topic. I've now merged them and the Wikidata category items, so Pi bot shouldn't try to change the Commons category again now. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 17:24, 12 May 2025 (UTC)

Figureskatingfan, we also have Grand Prix of Finland, which was already promoted to GA, and Grand Prix de France (figure skating), which is up for Featured List review right now. They are all part of the same series, so I don't want to deviate too much in terms of formatting between these. Thank you for taking the time to do the review! Bgsu98 (Talk) 17:47, 22 May 2025 (UTC)

B, I just finished with the review. No, I thought that the structure was fine. As I state over there, you did a very nice job improving this article. I have a few issues that should be easily addressed and then it'll be an easy pass. Congrats! Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 01:33, 23 May 2025 (UTC)

DYK for Grand Prix of Finland

On 7 June 2025, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Grand Prix of Finland, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the Grand Prix of Finland was held again in 2022 after Russia was banned from hosting international figure skating competitions? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Grand Prix of Finland. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Grand Prix of Finland), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Federation logos as substitutes for Figure Skating Championship logos

This is not permissible as per WP:NFC#UUI particularly No. 17. This is unacceptable use of non-free media.

If the championships themselves don't have its own logo, do not use the federation logo as a stand in. If a child entity has its own logo (the national championship in question) itself has its own logo distinct from the federation then its allowable.Hariboneagle927 (talk) 08:25, 29 June 2025 (UTC)

@Bgsu98 I sure removing the federation logos does not constitute distruptive editing. I am citing actual policy. Hariboneagle927 (talk) 14:02, 29 June 2025 (UTC)

I disagree with your interpretation of that policy. Bgsu98 (Talk) 14:03, 29 June 2025 (UTC)

Why? The tournament is a child entity under the parent organization. The federation badge/logo is not a branding for the tournament itself. If there is no logo there is no need to force one for decor. Hariboneagle927 (talk) 14:08, 29 June 2025 (UTC)

I don’t believe it is a “child entity”. Additionally, you have created an edit war by failing to follow the WP:BRD cycle: you were bold, I reverted, and your next action was… to revert again? Take it to the talk page, champ. These logos have proper fair-use criteria and several of the articles have undergone Featured List evaluations, which includes image reviews. You’re the only one finding a problem. Quit being a disruption and go find something productive to do. Bgsu98 (Talk) 14:16, 29 June 2025 (UTC)

Norwegian figure skating championship

Hello Bgsu98. I am Norwegian and have som books (some offical yearbooks, from the 1980's, 1990's and the 2000's, and other yearly skatinghandbooks, a few round the millennia-shift) from the Norwegian Skating Association. And in some of them they have a list of all the norwegian champions in figure skating, and only one time, Astrid Nordsveen, became a senior national champion and that was in 1914 in pairs with Andreas Krogh. The lists of norwegian champions also include the name of the technical local organisers and the dates and hostcity and name of the sports ground it was held at. The lists also include the same for the junior-winners. So I must say some of your medalwinners are incorrect according to the list from these books that I have. I give you the leeway from bad translations. But would you like me to add the dates for the national championship for easier finding the correct results ? See also this page Norwegian Championships at Allskaters.info. Best regards Migrant (talk – contribs) 03:44, 23 July 2025 (UTC)

I added results this evening based on newspaper articles I found, and provided links to the articles. Which of these results are incorrect? Of course I would love to see these tables complete with results and sources. Bgsu98 (Talk) 03:59, 23 July 2025 (UTC)

Hello again Bgsu98. Would you like me to email you the lists from the skatinghandbook 1999/2000 am referring to ? I took some picures of the pages related to the national championship in figure skating (the front cover, the info of the book inside, the lists for seniors and juniors, 8 pictures in total).

So therefore I know that your referenced source for the 1915 medal-winners are incorrect since the event in that source are before the dates for the national championship which was the weekend after that one. See this source instead https://www.oldnews.com/en/record?lang=en&record_id=record-11030-1159568&searchTerm=eJxljTEOwjAMRa%2BSiTFVKAwMHRiYgN7BNC6NFCetkxb1ZuxcDBcYECz%2Bz%2Fb%2F9hCAsKqlqDbofbCMkIryyPHaFeUZOLswyuD0uLOFzouLol4vkqaYtHkROQG%2FbDaLJEvvPlFbfojFuxr68eJdA9nFUJjeQ4PVYcKQFWYdc4essNd15BvMQnIvOXIe%2BCdpIf8HZ212ZqsI5eN39gk2UlD%2F&page_id=6 And Trondhjems Adresseavis are the same newspaper as this Adresseavisen there was just a namechange in 1927. Best regards Migrant (talk – contribs) 12:21, 23 July 2025 (UTC)

Yes, please! My e-mail is cmaybur@gmail.com. You should please feel free to make any corrections to the spelling, especially in the sources, as I have trouble reading the older Norwegian print. I don't speak Norwegian, but can recognize some of the text due to its similarity to German. Bgsu98 (Talk) 12:26, 23 July 2025 (UTC)

First a mail through Email this user without pictures but more info about what it contains and then a mail with those 8 pictures to your above-mentioned email-address. Best regards Migrant (talk – contribs) 12:46, 23 July 2025 (UTC)

I updated the 1915 entries, plus several from the 1920s. Bgsu98 (Talk) 12:48, 23 July 2025 (UTC)

Okay, sidenote; Ingrid Lørdahl were the daughter of Martinus Lørdahl, and I am now living just a stonethrow from Martinus Lørdahl birthplace home. 2 emails are sent with 8 pictures in total just hope they are readable. Best regards Migrant (talk – contribs) 13:08, 23 July 2025 (UTC)

Any comments about the emailed pictured pages here or there... Best regards Migrant (talk – contribs) 14:21, 23 July 2025 (UTC)

They're great! I have audited the host cities and gold medalists for men, women, and pairs. We already have the results sourced from 2000 onwards, so that verifies all gold medalists. Now it's just a matter of finding the other medalists for each year. Bgsu98 (Talk) 14:30, 23 July 2025 (UTC)

Have a look at the IW-linked norwegian championship-article and you'll find some more hidden sources in the wikitext. BTW. Did you notice that one of the editors of the handbook was the womens singles champion in 1970, 1971 and 1972 ? Margit (Margit Helgesen (Q135307678)) and Klara Johansen are sisters and siblings of Zacharias 'Zakken' Johansen jr. (no:Zakken Johansen (1904–1970) Norwegian champion in athletics) which was taking care of the ice and grass-surface at Frogner and later at Bislett stadiums. Best regards Migrant (talk – contribs) 15:30, 23 July 2025 (UTC) One of the other editors are no:Magne Teigen. And added 2 links for norwegian articles, one at no:wp and the other at wikdata. Updated/expanded text. Migrant (talk – contribs) 17:31, 23 July 2025 (UTC)

User:Migrant: Are Henry Lie and Arne Lie the same person? Bgsu98 (Talk) 16:02, 23 July 2025 (UTC)

Don't think so, they might or might not be related though, they represented the same skating club Oslo Skøiteklub I've created a stub-article on Arne Lie in no:wp no:Arne Lie (kunstløper). Their skating club do use the different names so I think not they are the same person. Best regards Migrant (talk – contribs) 17:12, 23 July 2025 (UTC)

Okay, I will go with what the sources use. Is Henry even a Norwegian name? Bgsu98 (Talk) 17:14, 23 July 2025 (UTC)

Yup it is, but not that much in use nowadays. These are probably the most known Henry's of Norway: Henry Johansen and Henry Rinnan. Best regards Migrant (talk – contribs) 17:31, 23 July 2025 (UTC)

User:Migrant: Could you take a moment and look at this source to determine the results for the 1917 Championships? Bgsu98 (Talk) 18:00, 23 July 2025 (UTC)

That is correct. There are also searchable digitized newspapers at the norwegian national library available for instance this search: https://www.nb.no/search?q=kunstl%C3%B8p&mediatype=aviser&sort=datedesc&fromDate=19170128&toDate=19170131&viewability=ALL This finds every newspaper using the word kunstløp round the dates of the 1917 Norwegian skating championship, which was a championship for speedskating men and three disiplines of figure skating ladies, men and pairs. Many newspapers requires norwegian IP-address, although not everyone, many are open for all, but you can make a request to see more if you send in an email and that will give you broader access for some few hours at the time. Best regards Migrant (talk – contribs) 19:24, 23 July 2025 (UTC)

User:Migrant: When you have a chance, could you look at this source. I have a hard time with the script print. What is the name of Yngvar Bryn's partner? Bgsu98 (Talk) 16:05, 24 July 2025 (UTC)

Hello again Bgsu98, It looks like it is the same person as the female winner of the unofficial championship in 1906, Hertha Olsen. Don't really know why Alexia Schøien, later his wife didn't participate as his pairmate, but it could have been a year early in her progress, maybe ? Best regards Migrant (talk – contribs) 23:33, 24 July 2025 (UTC)

Hello again Bgsu98. Not sure how much you know about URLs. I see that you are also using newspapers linked from The National library of Norway, but you are using an unstable URL. There are stable URLs available if you click on a icon looking like a storage-box and you will find a 'Wikipedia Bokmål'-template and inside that template you will find a stable URL. I guess you can keep the defining searchterm and or page to the URL for higlighting your searchword in the external link as well. Hope this helps. Best regards Migrant (talk – contribs) 13:57, 25 July 2025 (UTC)

That appears to be coding for the Norwegian Wikipedia. Bgsu98 (Talk) 14:11, 25 July 2025 (UTC)

I'll get back to this, something might have happened at the site that was unaware of... until later, best Migrant (talk – contribs) 15:13, 25 July 2025 (UTC)

Well there was a small typo in it, so instead of using this example-link format: https://www.nb.no/items/e9be4c5d6c5377114281caf4cc875582?page=1&searchText=Lefstad , which is an unstable link, you should instead use this link-format: http://www.nb.no/items/URN:NBN:no-nb_digavis_folketidendelandsudgaven_null_null_18950205_18_11_1 or better yet http://urn.nb.no/URN:NBN:no-nb_digavis_folketidendelandsudgaven_null_null_18950205_18_11_1. You can of course also include ?page=1&searchText=Lefstad for highlighting searchtext and getting direct to the page you want to also. Best regards Migrant (talk – contribs) 18:59, 25 July 2025 (UTC)

If I have time, I'll try to go back and convert those links. Bgsu98 (Talk) 19:04, 25 July 2025 (UTC)

User:Migrant: FYI, the date for the 1995 championships is wrong in the handbook. It was January, not February. Bgsu98 (Talk) 19:22, 25 July 2025 (UTC)

Yup I know, see no:wp-article no:Kunstløp-NM på skøyter 1995. There are some small errors in the mentioned handbook and that is one of them. The Norwegian Skating Association aren't that good in figure skating statistics, as they are in speed skating statistics, sorry to say.

Another thing, in Norway we don't award the title Norgesmester to the classes for novices, only juniors and seniors. The novice-classes are awarded the title Landsmester and that is only for skaters above the age of 12 years. Best regards Migrant (talk – contribs) 21:00, 25 July 2025 (UTC)

User:Migrant: I've been able to source everything except for 1896. If you have any suggestions, I'd appreciate it! Bgsu98 (Talk) 02:47, 26 July 2025 (UTC)

Well, I'm sorry to say that the dates from the skating handbook I sent you pictures from are typo's, it should have said 1.-2./2. instead of 1.-2./1. So it was held at the start of February, not in January. Later I will be going through your translation-titles and correcting some name-spellings in your updates. And I'm also gonna update the norwegian corresponding IW-article. Best of luck updating/expanding the Nordic Figure Skating Championships. BTW., you did get the complete list of Norwegian Junior Champions in those pictures, didn't you ? Best regards Migrant (talk – contribs) 15:10, 26 July 2025 (UTC)

Of course I would appreciate any help in making the translations more precise. Also, I had a lot of difficulty deciphering the Gothic style font of those older sources, so it's very possible that I've misspelled words in those source titles. However, I am very confident that the tables are now accurate and every entry is sourced. I don't particularly care about the junior-level results, and any additions would have to work backwards from what's already there. I will expand the lead this afternoon so the article will be ready for Featured List nomination. This is the third country I have been able to fully document recently: I recently completed the charts for the Russian Figure Skating Championships and Swiss Figure Skating Championships, and am very close to finishing the French Figure Skating Championships. Thank you again for your assistance. Bgsu98 (Talk) 18:52, 26 July 2025 (UTC)

Hello again, Bgsu98. I have some further comments, and I'm taking them chronlogically by year of happening. First; there was an unoffical Championshipcompetition for the pairs in 1906 where Hertha Olsen and Finn Schiøtt won the competition, and it was held at the same time and place as the Men's single Championshipcompetition and the Men's (Allround) Championshipcompetition in Speed skating. Second; The interrupted years during WWII wasn't only because of Germany's Occupation of Norway, it was also because of the board of Norwegian Skating Association laid down there work in a meeting 29th of November 1940 (https://www.skoyteforbundet.no/siteassets/ledermote-ting/tinget-2025/arbok-2023-2025-ver-18.06.pdf See page 158; Historikk NSFs presidenter 'Styret nedla sine verv i møte 29.11.1940) and therefore wasn't any organization to organise any championship, and there were also no:Idrettsstreiken. How are you telling about the Junior-championships medalwinners before 1999 ? The records-section is that for seniors, juniors or both all-together ? Best regards Migrant (talk – contribs) 21:48, 27 July 2025 (UTC)

I'm not including junior-level placements prior to 1999 unless the results are easily accessible and complete. I couldn't find full results for 1998, so 1999 is where those records stop. The senior-level results are the only results that are significant. See also Estonian Figure Skating Championships, Swiss Figure Skating Championships, and British Figure Skating Championships. The records are for senior-level results only. Bgsu98 (Talk) 21:54, 27 July 2025 (UTC)

User:Migrant: Is the National Library of Norway site down>? All of the links are giving error messages. Bgsu98 (Talk) 08:40, 29 July 2025 (UTC)

No not currently, at this time... Best regards Migrant (talk – contribs) 15:09, 29 July 2025 (UTC)

It was working on my iPad, so I cleared the cache on my desktop and now they're working. Go figure. 🤷‍♂️ Bgsu98 (Talk) 15:30, 29 July 2025 (UTC)

User:Migrant: I am unable to access this link. Is it perhaps inaccessible to users outside Norway? Bgsu98 (Talk) 20:24, 29 July 2025 (UTC)

Yeah some are only accessible via certain conditions, not sure why particularly that one is behind the access-wall though. Allthough some will be open after a email are sent to grant access for a limited time. So there won't be an open functionable archivelink for the time being, but the permanent url-link might be open later... I know that has happened to some books. Best of luck finding another source for your information. Best regards Migrant (talk – contribs) 21:31, 29 July 2025 (UTC)

Can you examine the text and let me know what results are provided for the Nordic Championships? Bgsu98 (Talk) 21:33, 29 July 2025 (UTC)

I'm getting the denied access-wall too. My quick-search just found confirmation on date, place and nordic champions for the seniors in 1951. On thursday 31st thru sunday 4th I'm attending a Liverpoolfestival at Gjøvik so I won't be on wikipedia during that time. Best regards Migrant (talk – contribs) 23:06, 29 July 2025 (UTC)

DCI Table Formatting

Hello again,

I'd really love to get those tables sorted out, but we disagreed previously on how it should be handled. I haven't touched them since we disagreed, but I think we should try to figure something out so that we can improve the mess that it is currently.

Maybe we can seek a third opinion on the matter? I'm rather new so I don't really know the best way to go about this, what do you suggest? TheRainComes (talk) 18:46, 30 July 2025 (UTC)

I'm not sure what "mess" you're referring to. Bgsu98 (Talk) 18:56, 30 July 2025 (UTC)

Take for example the table at Jersey Surf Drum and Bugle Corps, up to 2011 it is formatted one way, and after then it is formatted another. I want to standardize how ALL of these look across the articles, and also clean up the ones where it's not all formatted consistently within the same table. However, last time when changed the table to be formatted the same throughout, you just reverted it back. We disagreed on which way it should be, so I am reaching out before making changes, and asking what you think the best way to move forward on this would be. I have the time to fix all of them, but I would love to agree on how they should be before I go and start making changes. TheRainComes (talk) 19:05, 30 July 2025 (UTC)

The cell identifying the placement should be color-coded; the rest of the cells in the row need a white background. Bgsu98 (Talk) 19:14, 30 July 2025 (UTC)

Right....I feel like maybe I wasn't clear. We disagreed there last time, and you cited MOS:ACCESS as the reason. I read what it says, and I mentioned that I didn't see anything that violated the guidelines there. I then mentioned that WP:WDC already had a guide that specified that the entire row should be colored. You then went and changed that page instead of engaging in the dialog, and I reverted it.

I am leaving these messages so that we can try to figure out the way to progress forward here, and suggesting that maybe we get a third opinion on the matter.

It's also very possible that I missed something in MOS:ACCESS that makes me completely wrong, and if that's the case please let me know what I missed so that I can learn moving forward. TheRainComes (talk) 20:53, 30 July 2025 (UTC)

Color is to be used sparingly. It's fine for the one cell that identifies placement. Otherwise, it's excessive and decorative. Bgsu98 (Talk) 22:54, 30 July 2025 (UTC)

I'm sorry, can you please explain that in a bit more depth? I'm new at this and I still don't understand what the accessibility issue is here TheRainComes (talk) 18:57, 31 July 2025 (UTC)

The use of color is acceptable for the one cell that identifies placement, but not for all of the other cells in the row that do not. That table on the WikiProject page was undoubtedly created before the current MOS was adopted. Unfortunately, local project "consensus" cannot override the site-wide MOS. Bgsu98 (Talk) 19:10, 31 July 2025 (UTC)

I totally agree that the MOS would override whatever is going on in any individual project, but I sincerely cannot find anything in the sections of the MOS you’ve linked that say that? If you can give me a quote from the MOS that advises that the formatting from the project should be changed, I’ll start cleaning them all up immediately in the style that youe recommended.

I don’t want to make any trouble, and I appreciate you taking the time to have a dialogue with me here. I hope you can view me as someone working with you to improve drum corps articles! TheRainComes (talk) 19:24, 31 July 2025 (UTC)

I guess I'm not sure what you're asking? Bgsu98 (Talk) 20:08, 31 July 2025 (UTC)

Yeah sorry I’ll try to clarify. Where in the MOS does it say that only a cell should be colored instead of the row? If that’s what it says in the MOS, then I’ll start working to get all the tables compliant. However, if the MOS doesn’t specify, we should go with what was in the wikiproject already. Does that make sense? TheRainComes (talk) 20:11, 31 July 2025 (UTC)

Okay, the MOS states that color may only be used if the meaning is also conveyed by another means. The placement cell conveys that for that cell, but the other cells in the row do not. Pinging User:Why? I Ask. Bgsu98 (Talk) 20:17, 31 July 2025 (UTC)

Sure I get what you mean, but I think the spirit of that was more about preventing information from only being conveyed with color. The information is conveyed through the text, but I don’t think that guideline restricts where the color can go on the table, right?

Unless I’m misunderstanding something? TheRainComes (talk) 20:34, 31 July 2025 (UTC)
