Montreal Speed Skating
Hello Migrant! Just in case you haven't seen my reply yet, I left you a comment here. - Sweet Nightmares  20:32, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

I have responded to you again here - Sweet Nightmares  17:37, 9 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Just providing an update: Speed Skating Canada told me to forward the email to the ISU, which I did on Friday. I await a response from them. - Sweet Nightmares  21:43, 14 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Sounds weird, since the speed skating championship were hosted by or on behalf of that federation (Speed Skating Canada). Well, then my guess will be the main Olympic stadium which also hosted the summer Olympics 1976, since it says so on the rink-profiles for Olympic stadium in Montreal on these websites www.speedskatingnews.info, www.speedskatingstats.com og web.archive.org -archived version from skateresults.com. I actually thought the local people had more knowledge about this than the main International speed skating sportsorganisation, ISU (which website is under maintenenace for the time being). Regards Migrant (talk) 02:36, 15 July 2014 (UTC)
 * The ISU hasn't responded to my email, so I resent it today. Failing that, you might try WikiProject Olympics or a more active project. I'll hop over to the French WikiProject and ask for you. - Sweet Nightmares  16:37, 31 July 2014 (UTC)

Hooray! A response! "The official protocol from 1978 Junior World Championship says the following: The Championship took place on tthe natural ice rink in the Olympic Stadium, Montréal.

I understand this info like this: They had laid ice on the track in the Olympic Stadium where the track & field events took place during the 1976 Summer Olympics.

Hopefully this is the answer to the question given !"

 * Thank you very much for your answer. When Looking further around your Wikiproject Quebec I found this helpful page WikiProject Quebec/Help & tools and then looked up the editions around the arranging dates and found this Top speed skaters take over Big O in The Gazette (Montreal) from the 4th of February 1978. And this article Eric, Beth not Heiden in Junior speed skating from the same newspaper but edition from the 6th of February. Se also the article It was lost weekend Canadian skaters on the same page from the edition from the 6th of February. I would also like to include the Columnist Doug Gilbert, which wrote about the same event in his column Cold shows need for stadium roof also from the edition from the 6th of February but on a another page. So I guess it is okay to update the info about this in the Stadium-article then... :-) BTW. Are the official protocol anywhere to find online ? Regards Migrant (talk) 03:37, 5 August 2014 (UTC)

Skating and skiing clubs
(see this edit.) For those of us in English-speaking countries, both entities are quite obscure, and giving either one the primary-topic name is going to cause confusion. This is of course justified if one article is fuller and/or demonstrates that it gets the large majority of appearances in English-language publications, but right now the two articles are functionally identical in scope and size: if one is to have the primary-topic name, you really need to have a full community discussion, and/or you need to flesh out the articles to make it clear that one is much more significant than the other. Nyttend (talk) 22:08, 8 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Just a quick note — Wikipedia displays as that, rather than as Wikipedia, in an edit summary, and templates are equally unuseful, so Discussion moved to and your link to a diff of my talk page don't display in the summary for your last edit here. Nyttend (talk) 13:04, 9 October 2014 (UTC)

List of athletes who competed in both the Summer and Winter Olympic games
Hello,

The last days I expented the List of athletes who competed in both the Summer and Winter Olympic games. At the talk section you mentioned Q9226442. What I can see is this list empty. Could you help me to produce a list sportspeople in different wikipedia categories. Thanks in advance. Micnl (talk) 06:20, 12 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Well, you need to go to the wikidata-linked categories at the for articles created in different languages. Another tip is by looking into the pattern of usual type of participants competing in both summer and winter games. See for instance figure skating 1920 summer and 1924 winter games, ice hockey 1920 summer and 1924 winter and the pattern of cross-country skiing versus athletics (track and field), speed skating and cycling, and sprint/long jump in athletics summersport versus bobsleighing/tobogganing/luge/skeleton there might even be som unofficial ones in the demosport of bandy and real participation in summersport of hockey or football. If you need more help just ask. Best regards Migrant (talk) 11:57, 12 August 2016 (UTC)

Hi, I noticed you commented on this AFD. There is a similar AFD going on here, and if you'd like please share your thoughts here as well. . Thanks! Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 21:45, 21 November 2017 (UTC)

SK Ceres moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, SK Ceres, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. signed,Rosguill talk 21:48, 25 September 2018 (UTC)


 * Hello Rosguill. I noticed you moved my article from Main-space to Draft-space with this comment Rosguill moved page SK Ceres to Draft:SK Ceres: Undersourced, incubate in draftspace (via script) and since then I have added more sections with references. So what do you think now, is it sourced enough for mainspace again ? If not I'll do a better search for more sources later! Best regards Migrant (talk) 00:11, 29 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Much improved, thank you. I will note that technically the general notability guideline requires in-depth coverage in secondary sources, whereas you have mostly provided primary sources, so the article could be further improved by finding more coverage in secondary reliable sources. However, I think the sources provided are enough to demonstrate sufficient notability to be moved to the article space (which I have taken the liberty of doing). signed,Rosguill talk 03:14, 29 September 2018 (UTC)

Your help desk request
Did you ever solve this problem? I'm way behind reading the archives.— Vchimpanzee  •  talk  •  contributions  •  22:31, 25 May 2020 (UTC)


 * Hello Vchimpanzee. Thanks a lot for reaching out. I have tried in several ways to get in touch (d:User talk:Alicia Fagerving (WMSE) in norwegian/swedish with the swedish user (User:Alicia Fagerving (WMSE)) that added at least some of them through her bot: Libris-URI for the speed skater  and VIAF-ID based on SELIBR-ID for the cook.


 * The problem as I see it (allthough I'm not certain I understand it right though), is that both Wikidata-profiles have the same:
 * -value -> https://viaf.org/viaf/224333251
 * -value -> https://libris.kb.se/katalogisering/0xbfmpzj0c9cwlm
 * -value -> https://libris.kb.se/auth/355906


 * But I thought that everyone of these ID's should be unique and right now they aren't. I am not familiar with these properties, since I'm more of a wikipedian that contributes in sports and speed skating. And since I don't know much about the swedish cook but more about the speed skater I would strongly guess/suggest that these ID's above belongs to the cook and not the speed skater.
 * Hopefully you can help me with these ID's. Because some ID's are based on other ID's I have a feeling that there might be other ID's in the speed skater-profile that also belongs to the cook-profile, So I would like if you also could have a look at those possibilities. Please look at both Wikidata-profiles editing history (Swedish cook edit history and Swedish speed skater edit history). Best regards Migrant (talk) 23:24, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Please can you help me with this ? Best regards Migrant (talk) 14:33, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
 * This isn't something I know anything about but I can look at the Help Desk archives and see who does.— Vchimpanzee  •  talk  •  contributions  •  15:24, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks-a-lot, will be very grateful for any help. So far my questions have not been answered hopefully this one will do and correcting things and ID's. Best regards Migrant (talk) 15:31, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
 * I've contacted two people who seem to know Wikidata, and so far nothing.— Vchimpanzee  •  talk  •  contributions  •  19:24, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
 * I think I'll just Sit and Wait then, until further actions for awhile... Migrant (talk) 19:57, 3 June 2020 (UTC)


 * No, that's not me talking; instead, it's Larske. Vchimpanzee seems to think that I know my way around Wikidata. I don't, really, and I can't read Swedish (and hardly trust Google Translate); however, I was able to find Larske as the name of an active editor there who uses Swedish. I suggest that you write your suspicions/inferences on Larske's WD talk page, and either follow their advice or let them fix it. -- Hoary (talk) 23:19, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Okay, I'll try that on Larske's Wikidata user talk-page. Thanks for the advice, and hopefully this will solve this. Best regards Migrant (talk) 14:31, 4 June 2020 (UTC)
 * I am not sure if I can be of much helt here as I don't have any knowledge on any of these two persons. I don't even know if there are two persons or just one. But as you have entered the property, I guess you know that there are in fact two persons.
 * Anyway, here is a SPARQL query that lists all of the External Identifiers that are populated for at least one of the two objects.
 * Link to Wikidata query showing the values (excluding deprecated) for External Identifiers for the two objects.
 * As you can see they are very disjoint right now. Not just different values for the same identifiers, but totally different properties/identifiers. That was not the case before April 7 when I changed the rank for the statements regarding the three external identifiers mentioned above for the object . Today I also changed the rank for the as it pointed to the  incorrect VIAF identity. I have deliberatly left these statements with Deprecated rank instead of erasing them, thereby (hopefully) decreasing the risk for any robot to reenter them which would be likely if they were just erased.
 * Most of the external identifiers used for are related to sports, so I guess they are correct. When it comes to  I have no idea what it is about. And for  we really have a problem as it mentions both the cook and the skater in the very same record. I don't know how that ISNI-record can be corrected.

If this didn't help, the other person answered and suggested WP:VPT. Usually I think of that.— Vchimpanzee  •  talk  •  contributions  •  19:24, 4 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Would be good to have someone with knowledge on how the and  are registered and how to fix false info if there are false info, which I believe, but I can't verify that it is. Because I believe these ID's are somewhat important at wikidata since they are used a lot.
 * Picture of the Swedish krögare is in this news-article from Sveriges Radio -> https://sverigesradio.se/sida/artikel.aspx?programid=106&artikel=2505154
 * Picture of the speed skater are here on Sveriges Olympiska Kommitté -> https://sok.se/idrottare/idrottare/p/per-bengtsson.html and from his facebook-account -> https://www.facebook.com/per.bengtsson.77736
 * So I truly believe they are different persons, and a confirmation from the 2nd vice president of the International Skating Union from Norway are here from a question of mine in a facebook-group Forum for speed skating history https://www.facebook.com/groups/114260890649/permalink/10163285591550650/
 * I still believe that these are 2 different persons, but are born in the same year but in different months and days, allthough I can't verify all the information that the user Larsruben47 (sv:Special:Bidrag/Larsruben47 – https://tools.wmflabs.org/guc/?by=date&user=Larsruben47 in total 3 edits and all on the April 9, 2012) https://sv.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Per_Bengtsson_(kr%C3%B6gare)&oldid=16299407 <- introduced on the swedish wikipedia.
 * Best regards Migrant (talk) 21:30, 4 June 2020 (UTC) describing it more precisely. Migrant (talk) 23:10, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
 * I think this is the end of my attempts to help. You seem to know more about this stuff than any of those who tried to help you and certainly more than I do.— Vchimpanzee  •  talk  •  contributions  •  22:57, 4 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your help on the way then. Best regards Migrant (talk) 23:05, 5 June 2020 (UTC)

Johan Granath
Hi. Please note that the IMDB link adds nothing for the reader, and you can't even say for certain it's the same person. Happy to discuss. Thanks.  Lugnuts  Fire Walk with Me 11:54, 23 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Why don't you think that this, and this in the british sports TV-competition named Superstars. Please take a look at this YouTube-video of the 1976 edition of Superstars-final and within the first 4 minutes the speed skater Johan Granath are mentioned as the first finalist-competitor. I definitely believe that he is the one mentioned in the link to the Superstars-competition. So will you now re-add/revert your own removing of the IMDb name-link ? Best regards Migrant (talk) 12:53, 23 August 2020 (UTC)
 * And see also this page for a superstars-profile for Johan Granath at the www.thesuperstars.org. Best regards Migrant (talk) 13:19, 23 August 2020 (UTC)


 * Hi. I've used the last link as an inline cite. Thanks.  Lugnuts  Fire Walk with Me 14:09, 23 August 2020 (UTC)

Daniela Dumitru
Thanks for adding the Sports Links teamplate at the bottom of the article about Daniela Dumitru. With the help of that template I see she was also a cyclist! I expanded the article with that information (and her full birth date). Thanks again! SportsOlympic (talk) 11:38, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
 * You can of course both add the same template to other sporting biographies in the wikipedia articles and also add Sporting property ID's at wikidata. Happy editing, best regards Migrant (talk) 16:54, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

Gerd Inger De Groot
Hi! As you are intrested in Norwegian speed skaters, I just want to let you know I created the article about Norwegian speed skater Gerd Inger De Groot (no page at the Norwegian Wikipedia). I could find some nice information about her :). Regards, SportsOlympic (talk) 08:47, 14 October 2020 (UTC)

Hello Migrant, Would you write / translate the article of Isabelle de Charrière (Q123386) for the NO Wikipedia? That would be appreciated. Boss-well63 (talk) 17:51, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
