Article copy and paste
(start to article) Inline skating is a multi-disciplinary sport and can refer to a number of activities practiced using Inline skates. Inline skates typically have two to five polyurethane wheels, arranged in a single line by a metal or plastic frame on the underside of a boot. The in-line design allows for greater speed and maneuverability than traditional (or "quad") roller skates. Following this basic design principle, inline skates can be modified to varying degrees to accommodate niche disciplines.

Inline skating is commonly referred to by the proprietary eponym "rollerblading", or just "blading", due to the popular brand of inline skates, Rollerblade.

(history) The modern style of inline skates was developed as a substitute for ice skates, for use by a Russian athlete[who?] training on solid ground for Olympic long track speed skating events[citation needed]. Life magazine published a photo of American skater Eric Heiden, training for the 1980 Olympics, using such skates on a Wisconsin road.

In 1980, a group of ice hockey players in Minneapolis, Minnesota were looking for a way to practice during the summer. Scott and Brennan Olson formed the company Rollerblade, Inc., to sell skates with four polyurethane wheels arranged in a straight line on the bottom of a padded boot.

Heather's Comments
2.25.2019- Nice work, Jill! I love that you have identified specific things that need citations or more information in this article. Keep that up! Next week, please copy and paste into this Sandbox, following the instructions to include links, the parts of the article you'll work on most. A heading, like the ones I have done for you here will help me, librarians, and Wiki techs give feedback. :)

3.22.2019- Good work! I've asked our librarian to help you out with the name of that skater. When she gets back to you, you might ask her about all the evidence you found that London, not Russia invented in the inline skate. She's a whiz at helping integrate sources. By Sunday 3/31, please have a completed draft of the changes you'll make added to this Sandbox. I imagine a whole new section on Rollerderby might be too much to do. Work on the other things you found first, okay?

4.5.2019- Nice work, Jill!! You're all done!

Jill's Work Log
ADD DATE-Beginning of editing Inline skating, have found the article needs a lot of citation including the first paragraph. citing needed in history portion talking about russian skater but does not even have russians name. needs more names and examples of skating to be more complete.

2-26 I checked back on my article and decided I needed to read up. Spent 80 min researching my sources and going over change ideas.

2-28 spend 60 min looking for russian skaters name to no avail. but found more sources and info

3-2 I am copy and pasting parts of article i want to fact check and source check as they have no sources and seem far to close to the actual source I found 2 hours

3-17 3 hours trying to find sources. not finding much other than ice skating. still cannot find russian skaters name. Should that sentence be removed if there is no cites for it?

3-31 posted in the talk page of the article asking to remove the info mentioning the russian skater as we have no info. once i get a message back or dont after a set time i will email my teacher to see about deleting the info altogether.

3-31 i edited the inline page with history about who roller blade inc was sold to and cited where i found it on the talk page

4-2 I went back to the page and edited some of the info i had posted like my cite for the information i added. also looked to see if i got any response for removing the russian skater. nothing as of yet.

4-5 found and adding imaging to the original page and removed the info about the russian skater that had no backing.
