Hi! I thought only we Germans call the loop jump a "Rittberger",but here to 100%. In Germany the name "loop" is not used at all. Are there other countries in Europe calling the "loop" a "Rittberger"??? I like the style of the article. Very well done! Uwe Langer 20:50, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Rename

I suggest renaming this page to Figure skating jumps. 1) There is more than one jump, and, 2) the plural fits in better with the other skating articles. Awartha 23:05, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Reverse Jumps

If Johnny Weir (a clockwise skater)did a clockwise axel, kept his landing edge, and did a counter-clockwise lutz, is that a jump combo?TimHowardII 10:13, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

Merging Quad (figure skating) into this article

Quad (figure skating) is intersting and I think it would be a good idea to have a brief history of the evolution of the quad. (which currently exists in highlight form in the toe loop and salchow articles). However, that page is mostly uncited and according to the page author on the talk page, it's taken from an uncited website. I also don't think a list of who attempted the quad in competition and why it wasn't counted is at all encyclopedic or deserves its own page. I think picking out the major events: Browning doing the first quad, Stojko the first quad combination, Goebel the first quad sal, Ando the first ladies' quad, and then Vise & Trent doing the first throw quad (with possible on Shen & Zhao's and Zhang & Zhang's attemps, because they were noteworthy), is about all that's necessary. Kolindigo (talk) 21:48, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

I agree. Listing practice and unsuccessful attempts is problematical because of the lack of verifiable sources, and because such lists become dumping grounds for excessive trivia. But, how about a section on jump firsts generally, instead of just quad-related ones? Dr.frog (talk) 22:29, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

I have been sourcing a number of these entries, and I expect to find sources for most if not all of them. I agree that if the quad article is destined for merging, then only the "firsts" should probably be listed (altho you'll still have a problem with deciding what a first is: is Goebel's 98 quad a first, when it's a US first ?, what about first quad combinations?).

If it does remain its own page however, I think it is important to lists early attemps, because they were part of the excitement at the time, and are thus part of the history of the sport, but I agree that unsuccesful attemps that occured after the jump had been performed could be removed without loss of relevant information.

As for the information being taken from an old website, I mentionned that the info was available on that page years ago, but mostly (almost completely) unsourced. I have used it as a starting point for this article and been slowly digging out references that are as credible as possible (going as far as paying for access to a few very old NYT articles ;-) ), and at the same time been correcting mistakes and adding missing entries. My plan was to keep doing that until the list is both credible and as complete as I can make it.

With regard to lack of verifiable sources, I also agree that unverifiable entries should be removed, or that page could become a repository of unverified claims. That's also why I am trying hard to find sources for as much of these entries as I can, before I go about removing the rest.

Not to hammer the point too much, but a complete history of the quad can't be found anywhere anymore... It was very exciting times and I feel like it would really be a loss to just discard it to only keep what everybody already knows and let the rest be lost, when we still have a shot at recovering it.

I'll bow down to your decision tho. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dolitos (talk • contribs) 00:55, 4 January 2008

I think adding a section on jump rotation firsts would be a good idea. As for Goebel's quad in 1998, it was the first quad salchow. The fact that it was a US first is only secondary. I'm tempted to say include the first quad combo, but not the first of every type of quad combo (i.e. the first time a quad was done in combination, not the first time a quad was done in combination with a specific double, and then the first time it was done in combination with a specific triple, etc) although that may be venturing beyond the scope of this article and would better belong in that person's bio article. But we should definitely do both the men's firsts and the ladies' firsts. I have a couple good sources for the first quads, some of the triples, and Dick Button's double axel, but that's about it. Kolindigo (talk) 16:50, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Well, Goebel's was a generic example of the problem in determining what a first is, albeit badly chosen. I suppose Weiss' 99 would have been better, though you do answer my question further on.

I guess I'll just stop right there with the work I've been doing, and let you guys "merge" whatever you want to. Cheers.

Pair Jumps

I noticed that the article makes no reference to twists for pair jumps, is that on purpose ? I can find no reference at all to this pair-specific jump in Wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dolitos (talk • contribs) 02:43, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

The ISU classifies twist lifts as lifts, not as jumps. Dr.frog (talk) 14:25, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

I wasn't aware of that fact, thank you for the info ! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dolitos (talk • contribs) 20:24, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

See figure skating lifts#Twist lifts for (albeit not a lot of) info on twist lifts. Kolindigo (talk) 16:52, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

"a Euler"?

Is "Euler" in this context really pronounced in such a way that saying "a Euler" instead of "an Euler" is appropriate? (I normally pronounce "Euler" as if it were spelled "oiler", but of course I'm talking about quite a different subject.) Michael Hardy (talk) 02:36, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

Quads? current?

>Currently, men in world-class competition usually attempt a full set of triples and sometimes one or two quadruple jumps in their free skating programs.

Just watched the US championships in which someone posted five quads. Are the numbers in the article still up to date figures for what is 'usually' attempted? TheHYPO (talk) 21:39, 7 January 2018 (UTC)

A Table of Firsts?

After I meandered over to an article on Dick Button, and after watching the Olympics... I'd like to propose a table documenting the progression of each first jump variety to be completed in major competition (including date, by whom, and where). Perhaps put it here, or perhaps on History of figure skating, either one. I wouldn't even know where to start such endeavour, as I'm not deeply familiar with the sport, but think it would be something that is really highlight of a page if it could be developed, and would also help break up the text in articles a bit better. Don't know if it's feasibility, but if it is reasonable to do, would be great. Thanks! JeopardyTempest (talk) 05:34, 17 February 2018 (UTC)

OK, I created several lists of first jumps. --Phikia (talk) 14:24, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

Brilliant, that's what it's all about! Great edit, solid looking tables with references, so glad to see get good information put together. Thanks Phikia! JeopardyTempest (talk) 01:20, 18 June 2018 (UTC)

Cool potential source

Stumbled upon this webage, about the physics of figure skating: [1] It includes details about jumps, as well as death spirals. It should be incorporated into both articles, but I'm not working on them currently, so I wanted to record it here. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 18:43, 18 November 2018 (UTC)

Sandbox: men and ladies side-by-side timeline comparison

The following table lists first recorded jumps in competition for which there is secure information.

User:‎Lansonyte, very nice. I think this would be a great addition. I'm working on improving this article, after improving all the articles about the individual jumps. I'm taking a break from the more technical aspects of figure skating, but it's my intention to continue soon. I wonder, though, if a chart comparing combination jumps would be a good idea to include. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 05:16, 12 December 2019 (UTC)

• Thanks Christine! I'm very admiring of what you've done on the pages of the individual jumps, and on this one. It's great work, and really precious information! As you've no doubt noted, that's where the data in this chart come from. As for the idea of a combo comparison chart, I love it! Particularly in our current era where skaters of both sexes are constantly outdoing one other in jump inventivity, I think it could be really useful. I can try and see what I can rustle up based on the information in the individual pages. Lansonyte (talk) 12:53, 12 December 2019 (UTC)

Well, you're welcome and thanks for the kind words. My goal is to have all major articles about figure skating improved by the 2022 Olympics. People tend to consult WP as their second screen while watching stuff like the Olympics, so it's a good idea to have high-quality articles beforehand. I don't do charts well, so I appreciate your contribution. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 05:12, 13 December 2019 (UTC)

User:‎Lansonyte, I've made some changes to your chart. Please let me know if they're okay. I spelled out the jumps because the uninitiated reader who will come to this article with little knowledge about figure skating probably aren't familiar with the abbreviations. I also added a column for sources, which we'll fill in later, when we add it to the article. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 05:46, 31 December 2019 (UTC)

I've now removed the table and placed it in the article. Thanks for the improvements. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 01:46, 8 January 2020 (UTC)

Sections

Men and ladies/women: I've been improving this and other figure skating articles. Yesterday, I completed my drafting of a History section and added it to the beginning of the article. I also, this morning, added a new section: Rules and regulations, which like the corresponding section in Pair skating, discusses specific ISU rules and regs about jumps. Next, I'll work on the Types of jumps sections; as I've done with other articles, I'll use Wikipedia:Summary style and include information taken from the individual articles about jumps. I think that we should remove the Scale of values section. It's not interesting, and doesn't really tell us about jumps. I also think that it may better belong in ISU Judging System. So I'd like to propose that we remove it. Please discuss; if there is no discussion for seven days (until 12/29/2019), I'll take it as assent and remove it. I think that other sections should be either removed or significantly improved, but I'll bring them up as I go through the rest of the article. Thanks! Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 17:21, 22 December 2019 (UTC)

Deadline passed, so I'll go ahead and take silence as assent and make the above change. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 04:06, 30 December 2019 (UTC)

If you don't mind I put back the scale of values section. I think it shouldn't be missing from Wikipedia because it's very valuable. Maybe moving it to ISU Judging System is good idea indeed, but before you move it, please don't delete it completely. --138.246.2.11 (talk) 23:21, 23 January 2020 (UTC)

I've reworked the old massive table to a neat-looking format so it can stay on that page I think --138.246.2.11 (talk) 02:14, 24 January 2020 (UTC)

Guys, I'd also like to remove the Other jumps section, since it has no sources and these are jumps that aren't discussed anywhere, especially in no ISU literature. I think, for this article, we need to include information the general reading public who will come here during a national championship or Olympics will be exposed to during the commentating and in the press. Again, please discuss; also again, if there is no discussion for 7 days (until 1/2/2020), I'll go ahead with my proposal. Thanks again! Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 05:32, 26 December 2019 (UTC)

More sections I propose removing, and my rationales:

• Common jumps, along with the summary table. The content here is unsourced and the information has little value for the initiated reader.
• Combinations and Sequences: Few sources, and much of the information is redundant (in the rewritten sections and in Pair skating).
• Jumps in pair skating: Not comprehensive and redundant. The table is outdated and not valuable.
• History of first jumps: I think the table are unwieldy and look boring. Much of the information is in the individual jumps articles. I also think that the above table, created by User:‎Lansonyte is more succinct and easier to view.

Again, I'll give everyone a week to discuss, until 1/7/2020). Thanks again! Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 05:26, 31 December 2019 (UTC)

An IP added back some of these sections, even though they didn't participate in the above discussion. In the interest of consensus building, I invite them to weigh in here. If they choose not to, I'll remove the sections in question, since they're not sourced. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 06:45, 11 January 2020 (UTC)

Hi Christine, sorry for having not responded in some time (I got a new job back in December, so it was a bit hectic there!). I just wanted to say I think you've done a great job at improving the article with these edits. I fully support your assessment that these sections were surplus to requirements and did not add to the article, but rather detracted from its overall cohesion. For what it's worth and even though I didn't weigh in at the time, I therefore completely agree with your decision to remove them. I also think you did a great job improving the table. Lansonyte (talk) 15:51, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

Thanks User:Lansonyte, for your kind words. Hope your new job hasn't been affected like others have these days. I'm glad you like the changes. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 16:35, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

Scale of values section

An anonymous IP added this section, with good sources, although they need to be standardized. While I agree that the information is important and should be in WP, I wonder if it belongs here. The reason I think that is as the content states, values change often, sometimes each season. I also think that the content may be original research, since no source states that values change so often, and when. I also wonder if the content better belongs in another article, like ISU Judging System, an article that's on my to-do list because I think there needs to be a good description of the scoring system before the 2022 Olympics. I'm not sure that I'm going to be able to accomplish that goal, since it's a complicated issue and I feel like we need the background of other articles (like ones about individual elements) first. At any rate, I recommend that we remove this section and place it in the IJS article temporarily. This is what I'll do if no one protests in the next seven days (31 January 2020). Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 18:09, 24 January 2020 (UTC)

Hi Christine, thanks for your effort of reorganizing and cleaning up this article, but please don't forget that you don't own it. I don't agree with deleting or moving this section and the table, since base values are very important features of the jumps, and this is what the article is about - jumps. This information has been in this article organized in a much bulkier table for years, and I don't think it's morally correct from your side to just set the deadlines yourself and decide which information belongs to this article or not. I doubt it's Wikipedia's best practice to solely and completely delete sections of information without offering anything in return. I do agree however that over time when this section grows, the history of base values and its change over time can better suit the ISU Judging System article, but at the moment I don't see any problem. Regarding the original research, there is a difference stating "values change so often," (which is not the case actually) and saying "values are not something constant." The latter phrase is a must to keep in this article to avoid vagueness, in my opinion, because based on current article without this information in the scales of values section, a person can think these values are constant esp. when it is said multiple times in the article above something like "In competitions, the base value of a single salchow is 0.40".

To sum up, I really appreciate your input and that you started to rework this bulky article, but I think it's important to be careful dealing with "heritage" - information that other people added some time ago and that stayed over time. The table that was there before was definitely too big and too extensive, but now after I condensed and reworked it, I don't see any major problem for sure. Feel free of course to improve the section with better wording or additional sources maybe but to delete it or move it at the moment isn't the best solution in my opinion. --138.246.2.11 (talk) 19:35, 25 January 2020 (UTC)

I don't think that I own these articles; on the contrary, I've imposed deadlines to encourage discussion, instead of arbitrarily making the changes. I've discovered that for these articles, very few chime in with an opinion, so if I were to wait until someone participates in the discussion, nothing would ever get done. Yes, I'm being bold (see WP:BOLD; most of the fs articles here are in need of major work and haven't been worked on for years, so they were no longer current and didn't reflect the sport currently. If someone was opposed to the changes I've made here, they would speak up, as you have. That's kind of how things work: an editor makes a change and if someone is opposed to it or has another/better idea(s), they come to the discussion page and we talk about it; see WP:TALK#USE. There was a discussion about the tables on this talk page; yes, only two people participated, but we decided to use the new table, with small adaptations made by me. If you have any ideas about how to improve them, please speak up.

That's also why I started the discussion about the sections; no one chimed in, so I went ahead and removed them, as per WP policy (see WP:V). If something isn't supported by a source, it should be removed, even content in figure skating articles added a long time ago. Please show me a policy about "heritage". I suggested that we put the information about scoring in another article, which you can disagree with, but I stand by my original statement. I see two policies in conflict here: verifiability and removing content without replacing it. I intend to replace it eventually, but for now, I think we should put the content in the IJS article. We can decide if we want to put it back here later. (I also believe that scores for other elements shouldn't be placed in those articles, either.) There's also something to be said about making sure an article is current, especially for a sport like fs, where the rules change often. When the rules or SB scores change, we update them.

To end, I'd like to refer to two more policies. You stated that my deadlines are not "morally correct"; that's an attack, so I direct you to WP:NPA. I also highly recommend that you sign up for an account; see WP:ACCOUNT. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 22:28, 27 January 2020 (UTC)

I support the proposal to move this section to the article ISU Judging System. I don't think there is a big problem with the current version, but I think this article should focus on the jumps and not on details regarding the judging system. @138.246.2.11: I think it is a big difference if you delete something from Wikipedia or if you move something to another article which is more appropriate. Further, I think the sentence "This is what I'll do if no one protests in the next seven days." in a discussion is common and good Wikipedia practice. --Kallichore (talk) 20:43, 28 January 2020 (UTC)

Quad Loop by Adeliya Petrosian

Should Adeliya Petrosian be in the "History of first jumps" list?

Here are two refs: rt.com, panarmenian.net. The RT article says: Russian youngster Adeliya Petrosian became the first female figure skater to perform a quadruple Rittberger in competition as she appeared at the Russian Cup in the city of Perm on Friday. [...] Despite Petrosian’s feat, it won’t be ratified by the International Skating Union (ISU) as it was performed at a national competition. To be officially recognized, it will have to be repeated at an event held under the auspices of the organization. Do we require the jump to be ratified by the ISU? Another question: Is there a good reference accepted by Wikipedia (rt.com is rejected as a reference). --Kallichore (talk) 14:09, 21 November 2021 (UTC)

Hi User:Kallichore, thanks for the question. Yes, rt.com isn't considered a reliable source on Wikipedia because it's user-generated. Actually, you could include this info on Petrosian's bio page, as well as this article and Loop jump, as long you state where and when she did it. I recommend that you do a google search to find reliable sources. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 23:24, 22 November 2021 (UTC)

@Figureskatingfan: I found the official results page, the Judges Scores are here. The first element was rated 4Loq+2T with -1.05 as GOE. Maybe the jump should not be listed here because of the negative GOE and the q (Jump landed on the quarter). --Kallichore (talk) 23:42, 22 November 2021 (UTC)

I think it is best not to list the jump because of the imcomplete rotation and the negative GOE. I also created a section at Talk:Loop_jump if there is need for discussion. --Kallichore (talk) 19:27, 2 December 2021 (UTC)

On September 25 2021 Adeliya Petrosian showed two quad loops with positive GOE at the Russian Nationals 2022 (event and scores). I think she should be in the table now. --Kallichore (talk) 04:24, 26 December 2021 (UTC)

@Kallichore: In my opinion, the list should only note jumps that were landed and officially ratified at ISU sanctioned events. So I would definitely wait with that info, until Petrosian or another woman has landed the jump at an international competition. It might happen that someone lands a 4Lo at Euros this month and that one should definitely be preferred over domestic events. Maybe it's best to put a note above the table that only ISU sanctioned events are considered in the list and add a column for the exact event where the jump was landed and ratified.

Footnote: Alois Lutz has invented the Lutz jump, but he's never landed it at international competition. He died at the age of 19 and only attempted it at domestic events before. There are more entries in the list that definitely require official ratification. It's very vague info to just state "somewhere around the 1920s". This doesn't satisfy encyclopedic standards. A very good reference for firsts is Guinness World Records and their official website (example for first quad flip by a woman). If the jump is listed there, it counts as an official first. Henni147 (talk) 08:22, 5 January 2022 (UTC)

If Adeliya's attempt is considered the first quad Lutz, then Shcherbakova's first quad Lutz should be considered the first quad Lutz landed, not Trusova's, but that's not what's written because the entire table considers ISU recognized attempts... We should at the very least attempt to be coherent. Gwennire (talk) 13:26, 28 October 2022 (UTC)

Lutz or Loop?? Adelia make the loop jump. And the situation is changed. ISU and russian scaters not interact. So ISU does not manage the competitions of the strongest. PavelSI (talk) 13:37, 28 October 2022 (UTC)

Shcherbakova landed the first quad Lutz domestically, yet Trusova's the one credited for the first quad Lutz because she was the one to land it internationally. Therefore, if we apply the same reasoning to the quad Loop, none are ratified as it hasn't been landed internationally.

If Adeliya's attempt is considered the 1st 4Lo, then Anna's attempt should be the first 4Lz. Do you uinderstand now?

There aren't any official quad loops recognized by the ISU because none have been landed by women at international competition, period.

The problem is not that Russia is banned from international competition, is that even when Russians were allowed to compete internationally, national attempts are not considered for world-firsts. Gwennire (talk) 14:25, 28 October 2022 (UTC)

Yes, I think the situation changed. Changed. Changed. World changed. "Good will" is meaningful. ISU does not want to see Adeliya for about a year. Not want. So no reason to refer the ISU. It is a broken device. Considered... not considered... describe it correctly. I see East Germany Katarina Witt and Manuela Ruben keep one cell. It is not a problem. PavelSI (talk) 02:29, 29 October 2022 (UTC)

You should undestand that no one will wait the bureaucracy forever especialy if the bureaucrat does not want to do his job. If ISU ignore russians, russians go their own way. ISU is not the global authority any more. Akateva make 3A and quads. But ISU make ISU winner girl without quards. ISU is the leader of the weak. Ridicule, not an organisation. It was good when it join the world. But it does not do its function. Broken. Ded. Figure scating is alive and have progress in Russia without ISU. Let's describe the real progressive world. PavelSI (talk) 03:03, 29 October 2022 (UTC)

Adeliya Petrosian quad loop at RUS Nationals

I think it should be listed in the "History of first jumps". This section doesn't have a rule that the jump must be ratified in an ISU competition. The old jumps listed there probably aren't either. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.167.154.232 (talk) 17:50, 8 January 2022 (UTC)

• Should to mention, there are no any international competitions for russians. But the historical jumps are the fact. PavelSI (talk) 14:12, 9 September 2022 (UTC)

The ISU only recognizes scores earned at international competitions, and although it's true that the Wikiproject Figure Skating hasn't codified it, we tend to follow that same convention. Perhaps it's time to do that, to come to a consensus about what scores to include, but the convention makes sense because there aren't always reliable sources about national competitions. I support continuing to follow it, which is why I reverted the addition about Petrosian's quad loop. BTW, up until the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the doping scandal, when one of the consequences of such actions were the banning of all Russian athletes from most international competitions in many sports, Russian figure skaters freely competed in international competitions. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 16:13, 9 September 2022 (UTC)

NO! We tend.... We? We who? FS-tops competitions are split to ISU-world and non-ISU-world. While currently the strongests FS-women are NOT under ISU now. So, ISU loose its ausority to represent the world state as a whole-world. If ISU not want to see Petrosian it is a problem of ISU. Wars, doppings scandals and so on and on.. are the permanent state of the universe, not mix girls and Big Politics. PavelSI (talk) 19:49, 26 October 2022 (UTC)///// I mean current state of the world is WAR. ISU help its friends and ban foes for reasons far beyond FS. Strong are banned, weak get gold medals as the world-champions. If so, if ISU go to the WAR, it loose its state of a neutral judge and loose its respect. PavelSI (talk) 20:38, 26 October 2022 (UTC)

Look, Axel Paulsen was not at ISU-competitions (because 1882 before ISU), but he get place at the table. Why? ISU make approval. To approve or not is dependent on a political or military question, not a problem of FS. PavelSI (talk) 19:56, 26 October 2022 (UTC)

About doping scandal, You mention this... If You mean case of Valieva, she is a "protected person" while the test was under her 16. It mean no information should to be shared to press. It is the roole of WADA. Leaders of WADA ignore their own rools and make the scandals. Why Petrosian is here? Ban WADA's management if they cannot make their work correctly. PavelSI (talk) 21:53, 26 October 2022 (UTC)

You do know that the fact that Russia is banned from international competition has absolutely nothing to do with whether the jump is ratified or not, right? Were they competing internationally and she'd landed it at a JGP event, for instance, that'd be counted as the first women's quad loop, never the one at nationals Gwennire (talk) 13:20, 28 October 2022 (UTC)

International - You mean ISU. ISU is not respectable I think. Not an expert any more. PavelSI (talk) 02:34, 29 October 2022 (UTC)

There's some sort of layering/transparency issue with the image. The center right foot is missing in the image as it appears in the article but visible when you click on the image itself. I'm hoping the Diagram Requested template will attract someone who knows how to fix this, but please adjust as appropriate if there's a better way. Thanks! Gould363 (talk) 16:57, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

@Gould363:I cannot see a problem with any of the images. Can you give further details? It would help if you specify the image with the problem (which of the 6 images in the article?). The web browser or settings that are used could also play a part. --Kallichore (talk) 19:43, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

Hi, @Kallichore:. The bug appears to be fixed; probably someone took care of it, as I haven't changed browser or settings. I've deleted the Diagram Requested template. This is in regard to the line drawing -- all of the other images are photos. Thanks for your help! Gould363 (talk) 22:39, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

ISU

ISU is no more the universal organisation while the world-strongest women athlets are banned due to military friend-or-foe reasons. Points of view beyond ISU should to be listed. PavelSI (talk) 13:30, 27 October 2022 (UTC)

I respectfully disagree about Ukraine, but I'm sure you already knew that. I also disagree regarding your statement about the ISU and its ban on Russian athletes. For now, it's the consensus of Wikiproject Figure Skating to only include records sanctioned and approved by the ISU, during international ISU-sanctioned competitions. Of course, that means that any records and/or accomplishments of Russian figure skaters, both male and female, aren't included in the most recent records listed in WP articles. BTW, there is historical precedence for this: in 1948, Japan and Germany were banned from the Winter Olympics. @PavelSI, I'm going re-revert you again, but I'm not interested in getting into an edit war with you, so if you change it back again, I'll put a template there instead. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 17:40, 27 October 2022 (UTC)

1) Disagree "about Ukraine" - what do You mean? It is the position of ISU to ban one of the combating sides to help another. Sports are used as a military weaponry. Am I wrong? 2) ISU can ban everybody they want at their own competitions. Other people may make their own. But if so, it shoult to mention that ISU is not the universal organisation and there is life beyond ISU. Sport does not belong to ISU. English language do not belong to ISU. PavelSI (talk) 18:44, 27 October 2022 (UTC)

What does it mean "put a template there instead"? PavelSI (talk) 18:48, 27 October 2022 (UTC)

ISU as a "consensus of Wikiproject Figure Skating" is in the past. Consensus mean ISU represent the strongest, but currently it is not true, so no consensus. See oficial ISU lists of the top-200 women in FS, ISU ban the best. It currently grand tittles to weak. It is distortion of the trueth. Consensus is no more. Japan is not a good example - it loose the nuclear war. Russia is not. But threat of the brutal nuclear military force is not a good practice, let's keep sports. PavelSI (talk) 19:07, 27 October 2022 (UTC)

As for me, there is no any consensus, no any sign of it. ISU take side of one of the currently combating sides. I see military censorship in the WIKI if editors keep not-neutral basis like ISU and revert edits. PavelSI (talk) 19:42, 27 October 2022 (UTC)

While discussion is a bit more global then jumps, let it be here. PavelSI (talk) 17:11, 28 October 2022 (UTC)

Check facts

@Figureskatingfan criticise and revert my edits and position self as an expert. I see she makes much and it is good. Bad - she propagate her position as the known fact. She (Cristine) revert my edits on Adeliia Petrosian 4Lo subject while there are lots of proofs and videos. So I decide to check what is the information which she declare The following table lists first recorded jumps in competition for which there is secure information. . It is directly her words on secure information [3]. Is it really a consensus to be so strict to remove everything what is not from ISU competition??? Check 1Lo while it have not known year.

Go to links she think secure (Media guide, p. 17) and see The loop is a jump ..... It is believed that the jump was created by Werner Rittberger.

Good turn - the only info a referrence to a LEGED that it is belived and it is the secure information. No more info is provided, no competitions listed, just belive. The same 1A of Sonja Henie, not said it is a legend, but no detailed info. Shame on you, expert of FS! PavelSI (talk) 06:33, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

• About 1A, source say Outside of competition.
• ISBN - how to download it? I would like to check Cecilia Colledge while there is year is not defined. PavelSI (talk) 08:05, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

  @PavelSI, First off, I've been polite but direct, so I expect the same from you. Please follow Wikipedia:Etiquette. I will repeat this again: so far, it's consensus that we only include records made in ISU-sanctioned, international competitions, and it's stated policy at the Figure Skating Wikiproject. You're welcome to try and change that policy, but you have to call for an ivote and initiate discussion to get it changed. The ISU Figure Skating Media Guide states that Petrosian completed a quad loop at a domestic competition, but it still violates our policy, so it shouldn't be included here. I suppose we could put in a note explaining that, but I'd like a consensus before doing that. I can make that change if at least one other person agrees.

  I corrected the Rittberger misspeak; I sincerely apologize for that, but I made an editorial choice there. I think that it's enough that the source states that "it is believed" that he created the loop; I also think that it's enough that the source states that Henie was the first woman to land the first single Axel. You'll notice that I kept your note about Axel completing it "outside of competition," as the source states, because it was done so early and I think that it's important to include that it was him, its creator, who was the first male to complete it. I think that it's okay to break the policy in this case and because we agree.

  Here's the Cooedge reference from Google books: [4]. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 22:48, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

  I've edited my the post. Think to let things be so as is. As for me, you are wrong and not consistent while you write "I think.... Editorial choice..." .... I think you feel ownership at the article while you support it for years. You are wrong, should to let articles live their free lives. But let it be so. If you see possible political agenda here - it is wrong too. Petrosian and Akateva are just beloved girls for me, and if our Ru-oficials make all bad I make an attempt to protect their names. ... I see you write more accurately on Ritt here. If you not remove national only in the table - let it be so as is now. PavelSI (talk) 10:11, 2 November 2022 (UTC)

  It's not that I feel ownership of these articles, although I do feel a connection to them. How can you not, after hours of working on them? I use the words "think" and "editorial choice" because I want to make it clear that it's my opinion and that I'm open to better ideas and suggestions. For me, it all comes down to one's editing philosophy, which I believe we all have, even if we haven't yet articulated it or even admit that we have. I agree that articles should as you put it, "live their free lives." Perhaps a better way to put it is that articles need to develop organically, depending on the editors who write, research, and improve them, as well as the sources out there about them. I love it when articles surprise me and end up being very different than I expected; it's one of the things that make editing fun, especially figure skating articles. I also appreciate your affection for Petrosian and Akateva and how protective you are of them; their coaches and federation certainly weren't, so it's nice to see someone who cares. Please know that I have sympathy for them; the situation Russian skaters are now in are by no means their fault. They're victims of a tragic and horrible situation. Hopefully, all this international pressure will change things in Russia, although I'm not holding my breath. In the meantime, I'm glad we've been able to come to some agreement. Best, Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 15:46, 2 November 2022 (UTC)

3A

As for me not correct: "junior women single skaters cannot include triple Axels in both their short and free skating programs". Single trixel looks more correct, but not certain. Acateva do trixels multiple time at juniors. PavelSI (talk) 12:06, 2 November 2022 (UTC)

Alysa Liu showed 3A+3T in the short program at the 2019 ISU Junior Grand Prix Final, while she tried 3A and 3A+2T in the free skate (scores). The rules are explained in the media guide page 10, which describes the required jumps in the short program for junior women ( a) Double Axel Paulsen b) Double or triple loop jump c) Jump combination consisting of two double jumps or one double and one triple jump or two triple jumps).

I agree that "junior women single skaters cannot include triple Axels in both their short and free skating programs" is incorrect, I will remove this sentence from the article. --Kallichore (talk) 00:55, 5 November 2022 (UTC)

I've been meaning to confirm this with the updated rules, but haven't been able to find the time yet. I will take care of it in the next few days and report back! ;) Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 21:45, 5 November 2022 (UTC)

I've confirmed that it was correct to remove the above statement. Regrets that I wasn't able to take care of this more quickly. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 19:22, 7 November 2022 (UTC)

Still 4Lo

@PavelSI I see you're returning back again this edit. So pls don't create your own rules. I understand your point regarding ISU weakness and partially agree that their actions don't match the Olympic slogan as well as many other international sports organizations. However it's the only international organization we have and it's the only who defines the current FS rules and the only organization who has control over international events. Still domestic events are not controlled by any single organization it's not possible to check any achievement there, and the rules are still the same as before well-known infamous happening. As we all can see in Guide domestic achievements are mentioned there only with corresponding postscript, as a sign of respect. Based on this, if some woman lands 4lo in intl. event then she will be the first executor of this jump, not Adeliia Petrosian. So I think as of today it'd better to not mention Petrosian's 4Lo in the table of first executions but to create a such footnote instead. This won't mislead people reading this article but will provide them a full view of happening. Antko (talk) 06:46, 12 September 2023 (UTC)

@Antko As for me, not OK. 1) term "ratified" - what does it mean? 2) As of the ISU, there is a cheat: it is international in meaning some-national, but not universal any more. There is no any global-earth observer, do U like it or dislike. Subject of the article does not belong to the ISU. 3) There was time before the ISU and we have time after. See Axel Paulsen - there was no any ISU that time at all. So be consistent - ISU-organized competition is not the solid requirement to get place in the table. 4) See this discussion above: Rittberger is an inventor of the jump wihout any proof, it is only a legend, Sonja Henie - no info was it an international competition, Axel Paulsen make his axel jump out of competitions at all. I see the table is very tolerant to the europeans, so why so strict at one standalone cell? As for me - it is the double-standard politics based on the national hate to well known nation which represent Petrosian. 5) "If some woman lands 4lo in intl. event then she will be the first executor of this jump" - any competitions without the strongest athlets is a fake, not follow this deception. PavelSI (talk) 20:43, 12 September 2023 (UTC)

Tell me please. Do u think Axel Paulsen is NOT the first to make his axel? Should we to replace his name in this table by the 1-st to make axel at the ISU competition? I just want to see, are you solid in your priorities. PavelSI (talk) 20:58, 12 September 2023 (UTC)

@PavelSI, this article clearly states that the table includes skaters who successfully accomplish the jumps in competition. If you have a problem with that, that's okay, but it's been the consensus of editors and members of WikiProject Figure Skating and I highly doubt that it'll change. Please, by all means, go ahead and call for a discussion, but please refrain from the disrespectful comments you've made above, like the ISU is cheating; the inference that there's country-hating going on, and doubting Antko's "priorities". Of course Axel Paulsen was the first to land an Axel and he gets the credit for it both in this article and in Axel jump, but it's clear here that the table lists jumps accomplished in international competition. So far, that's the consensus and we're asking you to respect it until the policy changes. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 23:16, 12 September 2023 (UTC)

yes, help me please PavelSI (talk) 10:08, 14 September 2023 (UTC)

Ok fine. I'm going to take the discussion over to the WikiProject Figure Skating talk page, since such a discussion would affect several articles. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 16:26, 14 September 2023 (UTC)

I respect the rools. But rools are a set of precedents. I see 'Axel Paulsen was the first' but as for me, it is the precedent. PavelSI (talk) 10:38, 14 September 2023 (UTC)

2, 5 - this is your private opinion. You can put it into your blog or fan club but here we're working on encyclopedia and shouldn't use user opinions. 3 - very simple. We had time before ISU, we will have time after this but now it's the only regulator in skating. It would be very queerly if someone suggests to ignore FIFA's rules in football or FIDE's rules in chess. But now you're doing the similar. Next, "double standard politics" and "hate to well known nation" is also just your thoughts. Despite the Russia ban, globally nothing is changed: Russia is still a part of the ISU structure, no one alternate regulator appeared, so we have that we had previously. "competitions without the strongest athlets is a fake" - we're talking about first execution of a particular element, not about athletes' strength at all. Also I don't want to believe your question about Axel Paulsen is just a trolling. In his time there were some rules, now they're others. Antko (talk) 06:18, 13 September 2023 (UTC)

@Antko, this is just not my personal opinion. I will say this again, for the third time: it is the consensus of the editing community and of the members of WikiProject Figure Skating. I won't engage in any more circular reasoning with you. I'll say this again, too: If you disagree with the consensus, you must submit it for either a vote or a discussion in order to change the consensus. I can even help you do that if you ask me. I'll also ask you again to demonstrate respect towards your fellow editors here. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 18:26, 13 September 2023 (UTC)

@Figureskatingfan sure, as I understand the current consensus, we're listing here only the elements are officially recognized as the first executions. Pls correct me if I'm wrong. I guess you wanted to address this message to the editor @PavelSI, right? Antko (talk) 19:38, 13 September 2023 (UTC)

@Antko, @PavelSI: Yes that is correct. I didn't ping Pavel because I wasn't talking directly to them and figured they'd follow this discussion as they're been doing all along. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 21:12, 13 September 2023 (UTC)

@Antko once again. Is Axel the 1st to make his jump or we need to refer the ISU-only competitions? What does his photo do here in the article? PavelSI (talk) 10:13, 14 September 2023 (UTC)

if some woman lands 4lo in intl. event then she will be the first executor of this jump - apply to Axel? PavelSI (talk) 10:15, 14 September 2023 (UTC)

@Antko, @User:PavelSI, and others: I have just created a discussion for the above proposal here: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Figure Skating#Ratified jumps discussion. Discussion will be open for 7 days in order to get to a consensus. Thanks, Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 16:38, 16 September 2023 (UTC)

Backflip allowed since the 2024/25 season

I think this section needs to be updated:

Somersault-type jumps, like the back flip, are not allowed. The back flip has been banned by the ISU since 1976 because it was deemed too dangerous and lacked "aesthetic value".

According to this reference the backflip is now allowed as part of the choreography. The change of rules could be seen at Skate America 2024, where Ilia Malinin received no deduction for his backflip in the free skate. Kallichore (talk) 12:07, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

@Kallichore, yes we know. So far this has been a busy week IRL for me, but in the next few days, it's my intention to create Back flip (figure skating), which will include an update to the rules change, as well as an update to this article. Of course, it'd be a big help if you or anyone else updated this article. Yes, it was a glorious back flip. Wouldn't it be cool to be able to see it in person? Well, not to brag, but I've seen his quad Axel in person, at Worlds last year, so seeing his back flip in person is the newest item on my figure skating bucket list. Seriously, this jump will get more and more attention as the season goes on, so I think it's important that we have an article about it. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 23:18, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

I got to see the Quad Axel at Nationals, and will be treating myself to both Nationals and Worlds this spring. 😃 Bgsu98 (Talk) 23:30, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

@Bgsu98, that's what I get for bragging! That is so cool. Unless some kind of miracle happens, I'm lucky to go to one competition, probably not til Worlds. If so, we'll have to meet up and nerd out over both WP and FS. ;) Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 23:41, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

Worlds matches up with spring break so I can go without missing any work, but a friend convinced me to come out to Nationals for the weekend, so I will only miss the Friday from work. I'll miss the junior competitions, but I can watch them on Peacock. 😃 Bgsu98 (Talk) 00:30, 23 October 2024 (UTC)

Everyone, I have now created a new article: Backflip (figure skating) and have removed the offending passage from this article, as per the above request. I didn't put in an "update", however, because the rules don't mention somersault-type moves anymore, other than crossing it out in the current version. Plus, the new article explains all the history, anyway. BTW, I'm very proud of the new article; I think it's a nice addition to the encyclopedia.
