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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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

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)[reply]

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

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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

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)[reply]

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

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

Your recent edits to 2015 Trophée Éric Bompard

introduced Harv or sfn cite errors. These three edits on 5 August - here, here, and here - all had the tag of Harv or sfn error. You introduced Sfn cites that technically had no complete or target citation to link to, the {{Sfn|International Skating Union|2014|page or pages}} cites. I was able to fix the issue and the article is now removed from Category:Harv and Sfn no-target errors using instructions found at Template:Sfn. I did change one ISU Sfn cite from 2021 to 2014, assuming since this was about a 2015 event that 2021 was in error and the 2014 date was right. If I was wrong please correct that.

"Edit warring"?

I do not understand where you see this edit warring. Over the entire course of the nomination there have been a couple of reverts and most of them have been settled on the talk page, aside from one from some random sockpuppet that was quickly reverted regardless. This is not edit warring, this is simply improving and working on the article, and one single disruptive user coming around to change it. You seem to be very oddly strict in how you define this thing and how you just closed it because of what seems like one or two disruptive edits. I hope there is something you can do, or I can do, about this after the review is closed. Aside from "talking it out on the talk page" because the only reason that the article's content was being changed - ie. improved - was the GA nomination. Luxtaythe2nd (_{Talk to me...}) 05:21, 3 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

User:Luxtaythe2nd: Unfortunately, I cannot perform a GA review when the article is subject to consistent back-and-forth editing. Perhaps "edit warring" was not the proper term, but without a stable article, a GA is not possible. If you believe that a user is a sockpuppet or is engaging in bad-faith editing, then file at sockpuppet investigations. Once the article is stabilized, feel free to resubmit at GA. Bgsu98 (Talk) 08:44, 3 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Luxtaythe2nd: I have initiated a sockpuppet investigation here. Supportive comments are welcome. JeanClaudeN1 (talk) 10:06, 4 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Bgsu98: I concur with Luxtaythe2nd‘s assessment that the collaboration on the article over the past weeks has been highly constructive, with the shared objective of elevating its quality for the GA review (for instance, through the inclusion of more citations from reliable sources, copyediting etc.). Minor disagreements concerning details are to be expected in such a process; however, no instances of edit warring or comparable disruptions occurred. At the same time, I understand that the sockpuppetry issue presently constitutes an obstacle to a successful GA review, but I hope that this can be resolved soon. JeanClaudeN1 (talk) 11:34, 4 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Like I said, perhaps "edit-warring" was the wrong phrase to use. No criticism was intended toward anyone working toward the GA, but there is clearly a disagreement going on at the article that prevents it from being stabile right now. Once a stabile version of the article exists, feel free to renominate at GA. You may even let me know if you would like for me to pick up the renomination, or you are welcome to wait for a different editor. Bgsu98 (Talk) 12:22, 4 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

User:Bgsu98, I'd like to point out that user JeanClaudeN1 is showing a clear bias in how they are now changing the Gdańsk article, please analyze their edits and you will notice that JeanClaudeN1 is removing details about the Polish history of the city and adding even more subject matter about the German history. Don't believe me, see for yourself, how the article has changed... at the begining of August there was a sction titled "Early Poland" and that got changed to "Prehistory and early history" what got removed "Poland". I've corrected that, however it is clear that JeanClaudeN1 is pushing a German-centric narrative in the article all the while claiming neutrality. --PJK 1993 (talk) 06:55, 6 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I did the section name change, and I changed it to "Prehistory and early history" because it used to be two categories encompassing the time before early Polish rule and during early Polish rule. Luxtaythe2nd (_{Talk to me...}) 11:56, 6 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Well you did not improve the article that way. That whole section which used to be called "Early Poland" contained information related to Mieszko I, Saint Adalbert, Bolesław the Brave, etc. and it got lumped with the BRONZE AGE ...really? Poles/Kaszubs on par with Bronze Age cultures, and then you might wonder why I got so irritated with this sort of bias editing. PJK 1993 (talk) 12:24, 6 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It was for purposes of ease of browsing and MOS because a section with a single sentence was aesthetically terrible, at least in my mind. It would be silly of me regardless, to try to equate Polish rulers to ancient protohistoric peoples, and in this way especially. Luxtaythe2nd (_{Talk to me...}) 17:54, 6 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Real cute, JeanClaudeN1 cries crocodile tears about trying to make the article better and more neutral, all the while the introduction section lacked any reference to the fact that the first mention of the city and the creation of the first fortified settlment happened during Duchy of Poland era. Before the Teutonic order it was primative Slavic Poles on par with pre-history and copper age. You're really something JeanClaudeN1 you know. --PJK 1993 (talk) 08:41, 6 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Bgsu98: I am only responding to this in order to correct false claims:

The title of the subsection was not changed by me, but by User:Luxtaythe2nd, an editor from Poland (I see no issue with the edit itself, but I wish to clarify this point because PJK 1993 is attempting to construct some kind of national conflict here).[1]
I have contributed virtually nothing to the history portion of the lead section, apart from reverting previously confirmed sockpuppets [2][3] and inserting the word “major.”[4]

JeanClaudeN1 (talk) 11:25, 6 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ideally, the History section of this article should simply be a condensed version of History of Gdańsk. Either way, the place to have this discussion is at Talk:History of Gdańsk or Talk:Gdańsk, but not here. Bgsu98 (Talk) 12:36, 6 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Moroccan Figure Skating Championships moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Moroccan Figure Skating Championships, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

figure skating quotas

where are you planning to show the 'additional' quotas when they are allocated?18abruce (talk) 17:54, 20 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

What additional quotas? There's only five disciplines. Bgsu98 (Talk) 17:57, 20 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Right now additional quotas would be given, in priority, to Japan (2 skaters: Ice Dance), France (2 skaters: Pairs), and GBR (1 skater: Men's) because they are eligible for the team event but have no qualified athletes in those disciplines. It will likely still change after tomorrow, but there will be a necessity for some of the additional quotas to be given regardless.18abruce (talk) 18:03, 20 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Put them into whatever category they belong to. You’re either Men, Women, Pairs, Dance, or Team. Bgsu98 (Talk) 18:05, 20 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

And then note them as 'Additional' or have a hat note that says where the extra comes from then?18abruce (talk) 18:10, 20 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

So these are skaters who compete in the team event, but are not eligible for the individual events? Bgsu98 (Talk) 18:12, 20 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. Up to five skaters total. Item 'D.4' in the qualifying rules.18abruce (talk) 18:14, 20 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Table headers at 2025–26 ISU Junior Grand Prix

Hi Chris, I’d be glad to understand why the tables in the article about the 2025–26 Junior Grand Prix need to have the heading “Junior Grand Prix.” Isn’t it already clear that the tables refer to the competition, which is the subject of the article? Nimrodbr (talk) 10:22, 21 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oof, those were terrible headers. I'm sorry, I guess I didn't pay close enough attention. I've updated them to more appropriate headers. Bgsu98 (Talk) 13:03, 21 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I saw the update, and indeed the new headings are better than the previous ones. However, I still don’t quite understand why they are necessary. They appear within the article in the "Medal summary" section , where each table is already introduced with an level 3 heading. They don’t seem to add any new information that isn’t already presented in the article, nor are they transcluded in other articles where such separation might otherwise be needed. This different from previous years’ articles, or from sports competition articles in general. Nimrodbr (talk) 14:33, 21 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Per MOS:DTAB, tables must always include a caption in addition to column and row scopes. Bgsu98 (Talk) 14:35, 21 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Russian Junior Figure Skating Championships

Hello! Would you be so kind to let the article be? Unlike the U.S. one, the Russian junior championships are a completely different event from the senior championships. They are held in another place at another time, even in a different year. (The senior championships are usually held in December of the previous year.) The events are completely unrelated. --Moscow Connection (talk) 08:48, 28 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yet they are lumped into one article per year (2025 Russian Figure Skating Championships). No other national championships have separate articles for senior and junior events, even when the junior events are held separately. Bgsu98 (Talk) 08:51, 28 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I am not the one who "lumped" them. The Russian Wikipedia doesn't lump them together, and even the English article says in the lead: "The 2025 Russian Figure Skating Championships were held from 18 to 22 December 2024 in Omsk." While the junior championships were held from 5 to 9 February 2025 in Saransk. --Moscow Connection (talk) 09:05, 28 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I am not against lumping the yearly articles together. This way, it won't be necessary to prove notability of the junior event each year. But these are completely separate events. --Moscow Connection (talk) 09:05, 28 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It's no big deal to me either way. The junior tables are now formatted properly, wherever they are displayed. Bgsu98 (Talk) 09:17, 28 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much! (Combining the Russian senior and junior champioships in one article would be like combining the World Figure Skating Championships and the World Junior Figure Skating Championships.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 05:55, 1 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Survivor 41-48 Journeys

Hello:) I'm curious about the recent reverts regarding the inclusion of "Journeys" on Survivor 40s pages. This type of game mechanic has been consistently featured throughout the show's history—starting as early as season 10's Survivor: Palau and continuing in Survivor: Cook Islands, Survivor: Fiji, Survivor: Micronesia, Survivor: Gabon, Survivor: Tocantins, Survivor: San Juan del Sur, Survivor: Ghost Island, Survivor: Island of the Idols and now Survivor 41 to current. These Journeys aren't just narrative devices or side trips. They are integral gameplay elements where players can gain advantages, earn rewards, or, in some cases, lose their vote. That makes them more than just optional additions. They're strategic components that directly impact how the season unfolds. I believe they should be properly documented and displayed as official game mechanics across applicable seasons. Would love to hear thoughts or reach a consensus on how best to represent this consistently. thanks:) JoyfullySmile (talk) 16:58, 2 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

None of that is conveyed on that table. Save it for the episode summaries where all elements of the episode should be explained and documented. Bgsu98 (Talk) 17:30, 2 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If you go to each page it IS conveyed on that table. Yes, it should be in the episode summaries too yes. But it HAS been displayed on season summaries in seasons past. JoyfullySmile (talk) 17:41, 2 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

What I'm saying is that none of that shit – "gain advantages, earn rewards, or, in some cases, lose their vote" – is indicated by bloating out the table. Bgsu98 (Talk) 17:49, 2 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Its not bloating a table and its not "shit". It is contestants voting on a member of the tribe to send away for an extended time. It is a game mechanic Survivor uses just as they use Rewards, Immunity, Redemption, etc. Thus added to season summary. I'm just saying this is not a new addition from me and this was already in the show. Also sorry it was Survivor: Panama that displayed this first not Palau.
