Comments at Template talk:Reflist
Thanks so much for dutifully posting your solution to the lower-alpha 1 problem over at Template talk:Reflist. Your solution worked well for me! Much appreciated. Lostraven (talk) 23:37, 7 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Lostraven, your welcome, I'm glad I could help. I figured someone else may want to implement the different list styles in the future, thus if they stumbled across my questions, I wanted to leave the solution. Cheers, 15zulu (talk) 06:08, 9 November 2016 (UTC)

Request for assistance
Hi 15zulu, User:Figureskatingfan here. I've been around Wikipedia for a while, but I'm new to editing figure skating articles, despite my username. It's been fun! However, not being a skater myself (I've worn ice skates only once in my life, when I was about 8 years ago, which is when I discovered that ice is hard and cold and I didn't like falling), one of my challenges has been to describe, paraphrase, and summarize sources. Kinda what we do as editors, right? I can never be sure if I'm explaining things correctly. For example, in the GAN for the Compulsory figures article (Talk:Compulsory figures/GA1, the reviewer wasn't sure that I was describing how circles were done. My response was that I wasn't sure how well I had described it, since I'm not a skater and have no idea if the content in the article matches what skaters do.  It was suggested that I find experts who could tell me.

It may be presumptuous to assume that you're a skater, because perhaps you're just a fan like me, but I thought I'd at least ask for your help. Or maybe you know another editor who could help. At any rate, would you look at some of the articles I've worked on in the past several months? I'd really appreciate your input--a fresh set of eyes who has obviously at least some expertise in figure skating. Here's a list of what I've done so far: User:Figureskatingfan/Sandbox 4. Thanks, I appreciate; keep up the good work for figure skating in Wikipedia.
