 * I can read Swedish (and Bokmål Norwegian) quite well, but don't speak or understand spoken Swedish very well Ddermott (talk) 15:48, 27 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Okay, we can discuss in English if you like - hopefully I can make myself understood. So, here's my reason for messaging you: I am also very interested in tour skating (långfärdsskridkoåkning). I recently made some edits in the Swedish Wikipedia articles concerning the topic; I also used your nice photo of "multiskates" to illustrate the article of different types of skates. Since I incidently possess exactly the same type and brand of skates (Lundhags) I noticed that on the photo the bindings were not attached to the blade in the same way as mine are. I had to check my assembly instruction, and according to it I had mounted my bindings in a "correct" way; i.e. on the upper side of the blade (if you know what I mean). So, I thought I should make you aware of this - maybe it doesn't matter at all how the bindings are mounted; or maybe those skates on the photo don't even belong to you.


 * Anyway, today was the first time this season I went skating on my favourite lake - we've had so much snow here this winter so it's been difficult to prepare good skating tracks on the lakes. Since it was the premier "tour" I took it very easy and just skated some 7 kilometres - just enough to make some sleeping leg muscles wake up! :o) Let's hope for lots of skating this year!

Skating

 * Thank you for the comments about the bindings on my Multiskates. I didn't have instructions when I mounted the bindings on my Multiskates last year. The picture here shows them as you have suggested. It probably does not make much difference but I am changing them.


 * I haven't used the Multiskates much. I had my first long test of the Multiskates on Jan 29 - about 5 km on a lake near Halifax NS (about 100 km from here)


 * The skates I normally use are the Nordic NNN BC (free heel binding) from Lundhags


 * There are only a few long distance skaters near me. The closest store selling the skates is in Vermont USA, about 1000 km from here.


 * I have collected some information in English about "långfärdsskridsko" at ]

 * Well, I am glad if my information could be of some use. I am quite content with my Lundhag multiskates; I think this type of binding is a nice idea since it allows me to use my hiking boots (then again, I've never tried any other kind of binding). I have only been doing skating in this way for five years, so I guess I am still a beginner. At the age of 55+ I think this is a nice way of staying in touch with iceskating - I am an ex ice hockey goalie (who by the way never made it to my favourite NHL team, the Montreal Canadiens), so I really enjoy being on ice.


 * Since I live in the Stockholm area I am fortunate to have good skating conditions in the neighbourhood (provided the weather is cold enough of course). Right now we have warm winds here, but I hope I'll be able to skate some this coming weekend on my favourite lake. In case you're interested, I put a short video clip on Youtube a year ago; I filmed with my digital camera as I skated (thus poor picture quality). You'll find it here . Thanks for your attention!

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Vinterfrid. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Vinterfrid~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 03:19, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
