Hello and Happy New Year,

Sorry for late reply. I only realized a few days ago that I had a message on my Commons talk page... Anyway, just to let you know that following your request, the image has been changed. Shakki (talk) 19:10, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

FIS_Alpine_World_Ski_Championships

Hi Chris. It's been a long time. Hope you're fine, and looking forward to the World Champs in Oslo. I just corrected the medals tables in FIS_Alpine_World_Ski_Championships. It was quite a mess, to be honest. I tried to fill in total medals awarded at the end of the tables (like we have in FIS_Nordic_World_Ski_Championships), but there is another structure here. There is a sorting function and I don't know how to exclude a bottom line from this function. Stavol2 (talk) 22:31, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for adding info to Estonian skiers (even though it was long time ago). Hope you keep up the good work and maybe also want to visit Estonia one day, it's really beautiful country. :) --Pelmeen10 (talk) 23:21, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

2011 Nordic world Championships

I was thinking we could put up the results on the main page and move the relevant information to the sub articles. What do you think? Intoronto1125 (talk) 01:45, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

Venue lists

Hey! Noticed you had upgraded the Olympic venue infobox to include per-sport lists. I have been thinking along the same lines myself, but so far all I have created is List of Olympic ice hockey venues. I'm only going to discuss the Winter Olympics, which is all that I really know much about, but my thoughts are as follows:

  • Cross-country, Nordic combined and biathlon use the same venues
  • Ski jumping and Nordic combined use the same venues, although the Innsbrück and Sapporo games used two venues (normal and large hills were separate)
  • Nordic combined uses two venues
  • Some articles (at least currently) have the same listing for ski jumping hills as ski stadiums
  • With an exception or two, the sliding sports (luge, skeleton and bobsleigh) use the same venues
  • Some of the newer sports have only occurred a few times, and it seems to me that these lists could be included in the sport article (such as snowboard, curling, short track speed skating)

I tend to think in the lines that if a list is to be made, it should have sufficient length to meet FL criteria, which by convention requires a minimum of 10 entries and that it would not reasonably be included in the main article. I think for instance ski jumping hills, speed skating venues and ice hockey venues are "safe" lists, but some of the other stuff I'm less sure about. Just airing some thought that have been prohibiting me from making the lists so far.

PS! You get to watch the Nordic World Ski Championships in the States? Over here it's the main thing in every news channel. Regards, Arsenikk (talk) 23:02, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

Hello! Your submission of List of Olympic venues in sailing at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and there still are some issues that may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! Yoninah (talk) 22:22, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

DYK for List of Olympic venues in athletics

HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 16:03, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

Table sorting

Hey! Nice seeing the venue lists being created. Just one comment: if you make the table sortable, you cannot use rowspan or colspan. If you for instance try sorting the table at List of Olympic venues in athletics (with anything but the first column), you'll notice that the entire table gets messed up. So if you want to keep the table sortable, you need to repeat the Olympics year for every line. Arsenikk (talk) 18:23, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

Regarding The Mystery of the Druids' references

I just noticed your review of the article for its DYK nomination. I'm working on the links right now, but having some trouble with the USK.de reference (Reference #3). I can search for it on their site but can't get a specific link to the result and webcite can't capture it either. Should I just use the base search url (http://www.usk.de/en/search-for-title/search-for-title/) for the URL? As for references 8 and 17 (now 8 and 18), both are archive links... are those not valid?
