I finished creating {{ WikiProject Speed Skating}} template for talkpages of any article that involves Speed Skating... aka, the athletes, history, competitions. Please go through and add the template to the talkpages! Also, be sure to include a rating and priority assessment when including the template.
{{WikiProject Speed Skating |class= |priority= }}
I've decided to run the bot User:Xenobot Mk Vwhich will tag & auto-assess articles in the scope of this project based on categories and/or auto-assess the project's unassessed articles. I am currently creating the list of categories for the bot to go through at Wikipedia:WikiProject Speed skating/Categories. I will make the request when the list is comprehensive. Feel free to add more Speed Skating categories in the meantime. on camera (t) 18:30, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
I see the usage of two different infoboxes. Which one is best for Speed Skaters' biographies? {{ Infobox Speed Skater}} as seen on Apolo Ohno or {{ Infobox sportsperson}} as seen on Ahn Hyun-Soo. It should be consistent, so it's possible to modify the Speed Skater to include more information. on camera (t) 23:41, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
And I have a question, I noticed on articles like Simon Cho, that World Cup race medals were being added to the medal table. Does anyone think we should have some sort of results table for this? Because I think adding medals for the individual World Cup event races would really add too many medals... Something similar to Kim_Yu-Na#Detailed_results but with a tab for each race (includes if they made it to the finals, the times, etc instead of the SP and FS columns)... I don't know if that would be too much work to update, but it would give a means to add medal results and make a wider use of pages like 2010–11 ISU Short Track Speed Skating World Cup. on camera (t) 01:41, 6 November 2010 (UTC)
You're right. I work on tennis articles a lot and they use tables somewhat similar to those on Brittany Schussler to list the results. An example of a tennis article with their statistics is, Roger Federer career statistics: so maybe some ideas from there could help influence potential ways of listing results? on camera (t) 02:14, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
I have created together with Smallman12q a toolserver tool that shows a weekly-updated list of cleanup categories for WikiProjects, that can be used as a replacement for WolterBot and this WikiProject is among those that are already included (because it is a member of Category:WolterBot cleanup listing subscriptions). See the tool's wiki page, this project's listing in one big table or by categories and the index of WikiProjects. Svick ( talk) 20:38, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
A recently discussion Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals/Women's Sport. Your opinions and your advice are welcome. -- Geneviève ( talk) 22:58, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
I'd like to bring to this projects attention that there are currently 327 articles having external links to www skateresults com (I'm avoiding a fully functional link). This site currently contains advertisments for "girls from Ukraine" rather than actual skate results. And while I don't have anything against Ukraine, links to this site currently has to be considered as spam not in line with WP:EL. Unfortunately, this seems to mean that other references has to be found to these articles. Tomas e ( talk) 21:10, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

Hello project.
I'd like rename a few pages, because the current names seem to be a bit clunky to me, but before getting overly bold, I thought I'd drop you a note.
Among other things, the "ISU" part is missing on the pages on the various distances and events.
For the ISU Speed Skating World Cup various distance pages, I'd like to rename the subpages along these lines:
etc
For the various events over the season, I welcome alternate suggestions to this one:
etc
An alternative:
What say you?
HandsomeFella ( talk) 21:13, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
Hi.
I need input on how to name the pages on the various race weekends in the ISU Speed Skating World Cup. I have renamed the distance/event pages according to the above, but I'm a little unsure how to name the race weekend pages. There are a couple of alternatives:
We need uniformity. Which is best? Other suggestions?
HandsomeFella ( talk) 20:40, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
Great. I will wait for more input for another couple of days, but it will most probably be option 3. Thanks. HandsomeFella ( talk) 20:41, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
Ps. Note that the early editions of the World Cup seasons, there were separate world cup weekends because of different arenas for ladies and men but with the same world cup weekend number, see this page for world cup season 1987/88. And I would say that it would be more correct to put these articles apart since it was two events that was held at two different places. Regards Migrant ( talk) 19:23, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

Hello there! As you may already know, most WikiProjects here on Wikipedia struggle to stay active after they've been founded. I believe there is a lot of potential for WikiProjects to facilitate collaboration across subject areas, so I have submitted a grant proposal with the Wikimedia Foundation for the "WikiProject X" project. WikiProject X will study what makes WikiProjects succeed in retaining editors and then design a prototype WikiProject system that will recruit contributors to WikiProjects and help them run effectively. Please review the proposal here and leave feedback. If you have any questions, you can ask on the proposal page or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you for your time! (Also, sorry about the posting mistake earlier. If someone already moved my message to the talk page, feel free to remove this posting.) Harej ( talk) 22:48, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
There is a Request for Comment about "Chronological Summaries of the Olympics" and you're invited! Becky Sayles ( talk) 07:41, 6 November 2014 (UTC)
Hello everyone!
You may have received a message from me earlier asking you to comment on my WikiProject X proposal. The good news is that WikiProject X is now live! In our first phase, we are focusing on research. At this time, we are looking for people to share their experiences with WikiProjects: good, bad, or neutral. We are also looking for WikiProjects that may be interested in trying out new tools and layouts that will make participating easier and projects easier to maintain. If you or your WikiProject are interested, check us out! Note that this is an opt-in program; no WikiProject will be required to change anything against its wishes. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!
Note: To receive additional notifications about WikiProject X on this talk page, please add this page to Wikipedia:WikiProject X/Newsletter. Otherwise, this will be the last notification sent about WikiProject X.

Hi all, a while ago I started creating the nation pages for the 2015 World Single Distance Championships pages. I now changed the pages that also the results of the Sprint WC are listed and the Alround results can be listed. See 2015 World Single Distance Speed Skating Championships#Participating nations and 2015 World Sprint Speed Skating Championships#Participating nations. Please say if you think that this is the good way to do it. Any comments are welcome. Sander.v.Ginkel ( Je suis Charlie) 09:00, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Speed skating at the 2022 Winter Olympics is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2022 Winter Olympics events until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Hektor ( talk) 13:05, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
Hello, I just got confirmed that a Suggestion for Speedskatingbase.eu ID got through as a new wikidata-property as number Speedskatingbase.eu ID. It is for mostly all notable speed skaters and it includes personal best times, birth date and gender, allthough there could be some few errors as it is in other large databases too. Good luck in using the property for the best use in your wikipedia, since I mostly do my edits on the norwegian bokmål-version, I don't know how you will use it here.

Hi. I've come across a CfD from 2011 deleting Category:2011 in long track (motorcycling) which effectively puts the whole of the Category:long track hierarchy in limbo. I've started a centralized discussion over at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Sports#Long_track_sports to try and resolve it, obviously there is some relevance to you guys so I invite your thoughts over there. Le Deluge ( talk) 16:18, 12 March 2016 (UTC)
Can anyone help me figure out how to structure the category relationship between short-track and long-track speed skating? I am new to this topic, and have found myself a bit confused while populating the by-nationality subcats of Category:Male speed skaters and Category:Female speed skaters.
The head article speed skating covers both. There are separate sub-articles for long track speed skating and short track speed skating.
The current category setup has Category:Speed skating, covering all the long track speed skating stuff: players, competitions, etc.
We also have Category:Short track speed skating, covering short track speed skating: players, competitions, etc.
It seems to me that there are two ways of looking at this:
The current categories reflect a hybrid of the two approaches. Some aspects of short-track are sub-categories of speed-skating, but others are not. I am happy to work with either approach, but hope that a consensus can reached on which route to follow.

Hello and greetings from the maintainers of the WP 1.0 Bot! As you may or may not know, we are currently involved in an overhaul of the bot, in order to make it more modern and maintainable. As part of this process, we will be rewriting the web tool that is part of the project. You might have noticed this tool if you click through the links on the project assessment summary tables.
We'd like to collect information on how the current tool is used by....you! How do you yourself and the other maintainers of your project use the web tool? Which of its features do you need? How frequently do you use these features? And what features is the tool missing that would be useful to you? We have collected all of these questions at this Google form where you can leave your response. Walkerma ( talk) 04:24, 27 October 2019 (UTC)
I guess 3000m Superfinal event at the World, European and Four Continents Championships is non-medal event used only for overall classification (see Special Regulations & Rules - International Skating Union Rule 281.5.a, 285.5.a). Almagestas ( talk) 11:45, 27 January 2020 (UTC)
This year, the ISU has organized a Four Continents Championships in long track and short track speed skating for the first time. I have created items for these on Dutch Wikipedia and WikiData:
Since the ISU has organized the Four Continents Figure Skating Championships for over twenty years, that championship is more well known (for example: Four Continents Championships links to Four Continents Figure Skating Championships). I guess either the links must be changed or some form of Template:About can be used as soon as the articles are written on English Wikipedia as well? - FakirNL ( talk) 13:15, 31 January 2020 (UTC)
Hello speed skating friends. I have a little problem with this Template:World Speed Skating Championships. Since it really doesn't show properly the difference in the organizing of the championships from 2020 and onwards since it is either a combined sprint together with combined allround or a single distance with teamcompetition championships. And then there are the team sprint-competition which are moving from the single distance championships to the combined sprint and combined allround-edition since these two variants are being arranged biannually. How can we make this more clear in the template ?
And since we already have listed some unofficial championships for amateurs what about the professional championships from the early days and the ISSL- and WISO-championships ? And then there are the workers world championships from pre WWII-era ? Best regards Migrant ( talk) 17:50, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
New stub: Cannabis and sports. Any project members care to help expand? --- Another Believer ( Talk) 18:01, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
Sorry in this entry https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_skating_at_the_2022_Winter_Olympics_–_Qualification I think there’s some mistakes in the ranking points because the rules of classification says that’s one NOC can earn 3 qualified skaters in each event only if the 3 skaters are in the top 20 ranking. For example in the 500’s men we have 3 russian skaters but the third os in position 21 so he shall be not qualified. 88.17.10.75 ( talk) 19:54, 6 December 2021 (UTC)
The article Jay Ramirez has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
lack of notability and of sources, see Talk page
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.

I have (with the help of others) made a small user script to detect and highlight various links to unreliable sources and predatory journals. Some of you may already be familiar with it, given it is currently the 39th most imported script on Wikipedia. The idea is that it takes something like
John Smith "[https://www.deprecated.com/article Article of things]" ''Deprecated.com''. Accessed 2020-02-14.
)and turns it into something like
It will work on a variety of links, including those from {{ cite web}}, {{ cite journal}} and {{ doi}}.
The script is mostly based on WP:RSPSOURCES, WP:NPPSG and WP:CITEWATCH and a good dose of common sense. I'm always expanding coverage and tweaking the script's logic, so general feedback and suggestions to expand coverage to other unreliable sources are always welcomed.
Do note that this is not a script to be mindlessly used, and several caveats apply. Details and instructions are available at User:Headbomb/unreliable. Questions, comments and requests can be made at User talk:Headbomb/unreliable.

Quality assessments by Wikipedia editors rate articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines at
Wikipedia:Content assessment, but some have specialized assessment guidelines. A recent
Village pump proposal was approved and has been implemented to add a |class=
parameter to {{
WikiProject banner shell}}, which can display a general quality assessment for an article, and to let project banner templates "inherit" this assessment.
No action is required if your wikiproject follows the standard assessment approach. Over time, quality assessments will be migrated up to {{ WikiProject banner shell}}, and your project banner will automatically "inherit" any changes to the general assessments for the purpose of assigning categories.
However, if your project has decided to "opt out" and follow a non-standard quality assessment approach, all you have to do is modify your wikiproject banner template to pass {{
WPBannerMeta}} a new |QUALITY_CRITERIA=custom
parameter. If this is done, changes to the general quality assessment will be ignored, and your project-level assessment will be displayed and used to create categories, as at present.

You are invited to join the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Sports § Suggestion: Changing "Achievements and titles" order in Template:Infobox sportsperson.

I thought this was a done deal back in this 2022 RFC but obviously not. A handful of editors did another rfc with no sports projects input at all. And it's being challenged because we just noticed it. This could affect almost every single tennis and Olympic article we have, and goodness know how many other sports. Some may have already been moved it you weren't watching the article. And not just the article titles will be affected but all the player bios that link to the articles. Sure the links would be piped to the right place if thousands of articles moved, but if the wording in a bio still said 2023 Wimbledon Championships – Men's singles or Swimming at the 2020 Summer Olympics – Men's 200 metre backstroke that would likely need to be changed by hand. There is also talk of removing the ndash completely.
Perhaps this is what sports projects want and perhaps not. Either way I certainly don't want projects ill-informed as the last RfC was handled. Express your thoughts at the following rfc. Fyunck(click) ( talk) 21:03, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
