[edit] Välbe
Thanks for the information, Sam! Do you know if they both now have Estonian citizenship? If so, then, of course, she should stay listed as "Välbe". Otherwise, I don't know.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 18:24, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
- Not being an expert on the subject of skiers, I'm going to leave this to you folks to sort out :) If you jointly decide that the article should be moved to Yelena Vyalbe (which is exact romanization from Russian) and need my help, just drop me a note, I'll take care of it.
- As for the Kruglovs and "Buligine", I'm gonna straighten them up right now. Thanks again!—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 18:46, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Spurt
Regarding the 2006-07 BWC edit: I admit I "shot from the hip" on this one, but I had a distinct feeling that the word is sometimes used to some extent like I "extrapolated" after all:
From The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.48 :
Spurt \Spurt\, v. i. [imp. & p. p. Spurted; p. pr. & vb. n. Spurting.]
To make a sudden and violent exertion, as in an emergency. [1913 Webster]
From WordNet (r) 2.0 :
spurt
2: move or act with a sudden increase in speed or energy [syn: forge, spirt]
That clarification aside, your change to a more common English phrase might have been a Good Thing, I guess. (On the other hand, we should also use the whole of the language. Whatever...) :-) --Wernher 22:08, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] BWC article split
I put your OK suggestion on the article's talk page, and commented on it. --Wernher 23:23, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Follow-up to Sapporo
FYI. I just wanted to let you know I have a user who will be able to download images for fair use for the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships 2007. His name is User:Jared and he put in all of the action pictures for the article Cross country skiing at the 2006 Winter Olympics. He might be able to get them in. Also, I updated the Top 10 listing for the ski jumping part of the event, along with the cross country and nordic combined parts. Also, why did they award the Holmenkollen medal to King Harald V and Queen Sonja? That was a bit of a surprise if you ask me. I thought Simon Ammann of Switzerland or Odd-Bjørn Hjelmeset of Norway should have received it. Chris 00:40, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
- I added Estil and Hjelmeset to the list as well. If the King and Queen are not winners of the award, then I will remove it ASAP. Thanks again. Chris 13:26, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
- That is fine. That means I won't have to make any more adjustments until one of the active skiers wins again at the Holmenkollen, the Worlds, or the Winter Olympics. Chris 13:39, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] world cup
That last edit of yours seems to be contrary to the rules as stated in the article. The article states that D1 is Pakistan if it qualifies, and is otherwise whatever team replaces Pakistan; and that D2 is West Indies if it qualifies, and is otherwise whatever team replaces the West Indies. So Ireland should be D1 irrespective of who finished top of the group. Hesperian 11:46, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
- Oh, I see. Then you just need to finish the job by fixing the table at the top of 2007 Cricket World Cup#Super 8. Hesperian 11:59, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
I see that you're not using Template:Limited overs international in the group stage and super 8 article, even though both looks the same. So thought that if you used this it would be easier. If not, just ignore this then.--Thugchildz 04:45, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Nice to be home :)
Hi Sam! Nice to hear from you. it's very nice to be back around again. I have indeed been getting involved in some heavy duty vandalism-reverting (500 edits in two days, or near enough...), just to ease myself back into the swing of things. I have proved (to myself) that it is possible to do effective vandal-whacking using Special:Recentchanges even if a pronounced lack of admin tools doesn't make things easier. I can't even guess what multiball is, although I'll wager it's painful... Hope you're bearing up alright -- what have you been working on recently? All the best, Sam Korn (smoddy) 22:32, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] 2007 World Single Distance Speed Skating Championships
How come we don't have an article about the 2007 World Single Distance Speed Skating Championships yet? Punkmorten 09:39, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
- Wow, that was fast! All that remains are biographies for medal winners ;) Punkmorten 11:20, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Discworld?
Just out of interest, is your account named after the Discworld character Samuel Vimes? Walton Vivat Regina! 18:20, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
