Improvements finally done[edit]

Hello everyone, I have finally competed, as previously promised, going through this bio. I checked all sources and mined most of them completely. I made some cuts and did some rewriting/rewording. The last thing I need to do is to complete a full copyedit, which I'll finish this week. Please look it over and tell me what you think.

We had talked about creating new articles, both here and at Talk:Media image and impact of Yuna Kim#Suggestions for topics to be added. There seemed to consensus at the other talk page to create "Show skating career of Yuna KIm", but I no longer think so because the new version is shorter now. Here are the new articles I propose be created:

"Skating technique of Yuna Kim" (with its subsections "Training" and "Impact on figure skating")
Figure skating artistry of Yuna Kim" (with its subsection "Collaboration with David Wilson")

If there's consensus, I'll go ahead and create the new articles. Does anyone have any other ideas? Anyway, this was fun (although at time arduous), but I think we're moving towards a high-quality bio about Yuna, who sorely deserves it. She, as many skaters do, has inspired me and increased my already-high admiration of her. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 00:24, 6 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your suggestions sound good to me. I wonder if technique and artistry should be combined into one article? I suppose it depends on the length of those sections. Thank you for all the work you've done - I'm pleased to see Yuna's bio so improved! Artemisia (talk) 10:48, 6 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Artemisialufkin, you're welcome! I'll put the possible articles in sandboxes and let everyone see what they'd look like. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 16:41, 6 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Figureskatingfan I'm fine with the first (Skating Technique of Yuna Kim). Wonder why we must say "Figure Skating Artistry of Yuna Kim" instead of just "Artistry of Yuna Kim"? Editor120918756 (talk) 13:08, 8 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Editor120918756 You can see the proposed drafts below - it is currently titled "Artistry of Yuna Kim". Artemisia (talk) 14:25, 8 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Update[edit]

Hi again, I've just placed the options for the proposed new articles in two of my sandboxes. As of this writing, I haven't yet copyedited either draft or added images yet. Questions and comments below:

Skating technique and influence of Yuna Kim: I added the section "Olympic ambassador" because I thought that it could fit there, since it's also about Kim's influence. What does everyone think?
Artistry of Yuna Kim: This is kind of a small article, which isn't a bad thing. However, I see two other options--keeping this section in the main bio, or combining the two drafts into one larger article and giving it the title "Artistry and influence of Yuna Kim." Personally, I kinda like the second option. (The note is to myself, to remind me about another project I'm kinda working on.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Figureskatingfan (talk • contribs) 19:43, 7 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I also like the second option. I'm fine with including the Olympic ambassador section but I think it still needs to be mentioned in some capacity in the main article as it's been such an important part of her career. Artemisia (talk) 13:46, 8 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Artemisialufkin, yah it should be mentioned in the synopsis of the forked article, which I'll write after I create the new article. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 19:28, 8 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Everyone, I believe that I'm finished with going through this bio, including the drafting of one new article, currently in one of my sandboxes, User:Figureskatingfan/Sandbox 5. You'll see that instead of creating two or more new articles, I've drafted just one, with sections from the original bio. What do you think of doing that? Once I get feedback, I'll create the new article and write a summary in the bio. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 23:32, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Artemisialufkin@FigureskatingfanIt looks great! I'd like to add Yuna's impact on Korean skating there too though. Editor120918756 (talk) 12:52, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It looks really good! Thank you for putting this together! Artemisia (talk) 12:57, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks @Editor120918756, @Artemisialufkin. Kim's impact on Korean skating is in the first paragraph in the "Impact on figure skating" section. I'll go ahead and move forward. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 16:57, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Figureskatingfan I mean on the current gen of Korean skaters. How many she inspired and what she's currently doing in Korea. If it's there, I might have missed it. Editor120918756 (talk) 17:59, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Editor120918756, I think so. Look at the end of the first paragraph in the Impact on figure skating section in the other article. I also included a short summary sentence in this bio. Should I add more here? At any rate, all I need to do is to re-check the sources for redundancies and update the access dates, and then I'll submit the Impact article to DYK. It's been a lot, but I'm proud of what we've accomplished with both articles. It's so satisfying to finish a big project like this! Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 19:59, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Figureskatingfan OK. If there's more, we can add it in later anyway.

Thanks for the help! You did a bulk of the work at the end, so I'm very grateful. Editor120918756 (talk) 05:13, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A-Class nomination[edit]

Shall I nominate this for A-class assessment now? @Figureskatingfan @Artemisialufkin Editor120918756 (talk) 07:42, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Editor120918756 Sure, that sounds good to me! Artemisia (talk) 12:11, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Artemisialufkin, @Editor120918756 I'm trying to get the review procedure set up and having a bit of trouble, although I've reached out for some help. So please hold off on an assessment for now. I'm so glad that you're behind this, but hold your jets for a bit, please. ;) Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 17:20, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
