Talk:Katie Vesterstein

acquired Estonian citizenship
She is rightfully Estonian citizen by birth. Successors (children I mean) of Estonian citizens, are Estonian citizens. The only way you could "acquire" Estonian citizenship is by naturalisation, which means minimum of 8 years living in Estonia and passing the (mostly language) exam. Similarly to Katie, Warren Cummings Smith and Ingrid Neel just changed the country they represent. Pelmeen10 (talk) 19:28, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
 * I have removed the category for acquired citizenship, as it is not supported by the text (and so fails WP:CATVERIFY). I agree that Estonian citizenship rules say the child of an Estonian citizen becomes an Estonian citizen, as per . But were either of her parents Estonian citizens? There's nothing in the article about it, and I haven't been able to find details about her parents. Confusingly, this article does say Vesterstein gained dual nationality four years ago, but I think it needs more input more someone with better knowledge and sources, as that source could be confusing citizenship and sporting nationality.

 * There are some things possible to add about her relatives  (both behind a paywall though). Her grandfather was named Paul and emigrated to USA in 1949 (unclear whether from Germany or from Estonia), who represented Minnesota Duluth University in the 1950s. Her grandfather's brother Karl stayed in Estonia and was more known - he won from Estonian championships between 1946–57 in alpine skiing 10 gold, 3 silver and 2 bronze; in Nordic Combined 1 gold and 1 bronze; and in ski jumping 1 silver medal. Later became a ski instructor/coach and the head of the ski academy.
 * Here is written that by FIS rules for you to represent a country at the Olympics, you need to have been representing the country for atleast 2 years - but Katie not even holding Estonian citizenship. Here says she started representing Estonia on 20 November 2018. For that the Estonian Ski Association had to activate her licence which they did on that day.
 * My best guess is that her parents and Katie never applied for Estonian passport as they didn't need it living abroad. But they are entitled for it. And probably Estonian Ski Association waited until she became a citizen. Pelmeen10 (talk) 05:12, 3 April 2023 (UTC)

Reversion
Hello Please see WP:FIXDABLINKS. Invasive Spices (talk) 14:17, 29 April 2023 (UTC)
 * None of them are the correct link though, they are all to different sports. Joseph2302 (talk) 23:16, 29 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Hello Please see WP:SDLENGTH. Invasive Spices (talk) 19:38, 8 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Hello Do you have a reference to support your reversion? The existing reference contradicts you. Invasive Spices (talk) 15:57, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
 * If we're talking about the same thing as the rest of this topic, I added the link to United States Alpine Ski Championships. Also, which source says that she gave up her US citizenship? As far as I can see, they say she "chose to compete for Estonia", which is a completely different thing. Joseph2302 (talk) 16:01, 17 May 2023 (UTC)

 * Perhaps. I don't know. Invasive Spices (talk) 19:38, 8 May 2023 (UTC)
