Derussification FLN review follow-up

Hey Bgsu98, hope all's well! Posting here in case you didn't see the ping from the other day on the FLN page. Please let Shwabb and I know if you'd be ready to support now or if you have any other improvements/comments for the list. Thanks and congrats also on getting the figure skating list promoted! :) Dan the Animator 06:17, 3 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Trash, junk

Well, a lot of content is trash, or junk, but people do take that as a personal attack. See this edit and the preceding comments that led up to the non-apology apology. I do not regret having blocked that editor for personal attacks, of course. Tip of the hat to User:David Eppstein for keeping his cool. Thanks, and take care, Drmies (talk) 14:41, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

After all that edit-warring, promotional hoohah, and sockpuppetry, I'd have probably lost it. Bgsu98 (Talk) 15:04, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Roman Galay - Personal life

Hi @Bgsu98

I saw you had edited the following page: Roman Galay. In particular, the piece containing the following text: - "Galay was dating Finnish figure skater Oona Ounasvuori for a long time" - was deleted. Your comment: "This isn't a gossip blog."

But I should mention that this information is based on the official website of the Finnish National Figure Skating Federation - see the source from the previous version of the page: https://www.skatingfinland.fi/henkilot/rakastuneet-oona-ounasvuori-ja-roman-galay/ "Oona Ounasvuori and Roman Galay. In the relationship of figure skaters, the suitcase is always third". The relationship between two elite skaters from Finland, who also trained together during the summer camps, was important for Finnish figure skating.

Such information is also important for Wikipedia. For example, you can visit the page Carolina Kostner and read: "Kostner was formerly in a relationship with former Olympic race walking champion Alex Schwazer." Another example - Elizaveta Tuktamysheva: "She dated fellow Russian figure skater Andrei Lazukin from 2015 to 2020. This was confirmed both in interviews and on social media. The pair broke up in early 2020." - this is also the text from her Wikipedia page.

I think it would be right to publish deleted information about Roman Galay.

With great regards WikiContentFigure (talk) 11:28, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

None of that shit belongs in an encyclopedia. Bgsu98 (Talk) 16:17, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This is a rare accomplishment and you should be proud. If you would like, you may nominate it to appear on the Main page as Today's featured list. Keep up the great work! Cheers, PresN (talk) via FACBot (talk) 00:25, 10 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

My FLC

Hi Bgsu98! You want to give my FLC another look and tell what you think? Thank you in advance! Vanderwaalforces (talk) 09:38, 17 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Absolutely, I will take a look when I get home this evening! Bgsu98 (Talk) 14:17, 18 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! Vanderwaalforces (talk) 14:24, 18 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Vanderwaalforces, I owe you an apology. I promised to look over your article, and I will! I’ve put it on my list of things to do tomorrow. Bgsu98 (Talk) 02:30, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for looking! I didn't think you owe me an apology though, we're all volunteering here. Happy editing! Vanderwaalforces (talk) 11:34, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Figure skating at the 2026 Winter Olympics – Qualification

could you please be specific about your claim of original research, I can't see a single claim that is not sourced from the ISU rule book.18abruce (talk) 01:15, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You are doing the work for them (based on your interpretation of the rules) rather than waiting for them to publish the results and quotas. Bgsu98 (Talk) 01:18, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No, I am doing math, please re-read OR, specifically as it relates to simple math. If it is too complicated to do 20-10 than I would understand.18abruce (talk) 01:22, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Already the math states very clearly that USA has qualified two pairs entries, and one to the later qualifying competition. The responsible thing to do, and the wikipedia direction, is to discuss the math.18abruce (talk) 01:25, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

So you stated, "my interpretation of the rules," and now you saying there needs to be more citations. Please take your time, read the sourced rules, and ask questions. Be specific, what is it I am interpreting? That sounds more like that you disagree with something and I would be happy to direct you to the specific rule that addresses your concern. I see that instead of participating in the discussion you re attached the tags, please take the time to discuss it if it matters to you.18abruce (talk) 01:47, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure what the damn hurry is. You could wait for the ISU to publish the official quotas and then cite that as the reference instead of expecting readers to take your word for it. Bgsu98 (Talk) 01:58, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Small dashes on results pages

I wanted to say thank you for fixing my mistake with the dashes on the "detailed results" section for a few of the skating pages. I've been trying to help convert a lot of pages to the new template format but I realized I've been using the wrong dash for the dates (short dash instead of the long dash) Legendofmv (talk) 15:52, 10 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That is a very common mistake that I frequently make as well. Only recently did I realize that when editing in source mode, the en-dash is one of the characters along the bottom of the editing pane that you can copy/use! Bgsu98 (Talk) 15:59, 10 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, that's good to keep in mind, thank you! I usually draft a lot of edits (especially the template-heavy ones such as programs and results) in VS Code and then copy them into Wikipedia, but I'll definitely use that feature now! Converting to the new templates is definitely a tedious process but I kind of enjoy it. Legendofmv (talk) 16:08, 10 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Promotion of U.S. Figure Skating Championships

Question

I'm following Template:Medals table editing medal information. It's not a revert reason and does not any problem. I don't understand why you always revert it?

I have already tried to explain this but you either cannot understand or refuse to. Either way, see you at ANI. Bgsu98 (Talk) 11:38, 29 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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

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

(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)[reply]

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. Bgsu98 (Talk) 23:15, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your GA nomination of Grand Prix of Finland

The article Grand Prix of Finland you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Grand Prix of Finland for comments about the article, and Talk:Grand Prix of Finland/GA1 for the nomination. Well done! If the article is eligible to appear in the "Did you know" section of the Main Page, you can nominate it within the next seven days. Message delivered by ChristieBot, on behalf of DaniloDaysOfOurLives -- DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 09:06, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

DaniloDaysOfOurLives, thank you for your assistance with this article! Bgsu98 (Talk) 12:15, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

DYK nomination of Grand Prix of Finland

Hello! Your submission of Grand Prix of Finland at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) at your nomination's entry and respond there at your earliest convenience. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! Yakikaki (talk) 20:46, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

Thank you for your help! Bgsu98 (Talk) 17:33, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question

Hi there, you reverted my edit about Oona Brown and Gage Brown, can you explain the reason? Thanks. Stevencocoboy (talk) 02:20, 17 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The city and state are sufficient for American skaters. Bgsu98 (Talk) 02:23, 17 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oh I see, thanks for your reply. If I have other question about figure skating, can I come here asking you? Thanks. Stevencocoboy (talk) 02:47, 17 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
