Wow!
Looks like you've been busy and are creating some great articles! With your interest you may want to pop over to WikiProject Kayaking. Not sure how active they are but should have some good information and contact for other Wikipedians who can help. If you have any questions feel free to ask. Looks like you're doing really well on your own though! Thanks - --Tbennert (talk) 04:20, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for March 11
Hi. When you recently edited 2004 European Canoe Slalom Championships, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Macedonia (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Speedy deletion nomination of European Canoe Association


A tag has been placed on European Canoe Association requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Bluefist  talk 18:23, 19 April 2012 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Jock Young (canoer)


The article Jock Young (canoer) has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Minimally sourced stub biography of a living person.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

Slovakian help needed
Hello Vladyreaper,

I'm contacting you because we need some Slovakian translators to help with the deployment of the new VisualEditor on sk.wikipedia. There are help pages, user guides, and description pages that need translating, as well as the interface itself. The translating work is going on over on MediaWiki: Translation Central. I also need help with a personal message for the Slovakian Wikipedians. If you are able to help in any way, either reply here, or head over to TranslationCentral. Thanks for your time, PEarley (WMF) (talk) 16:24, 26 July 2013 (UTC)

Help needed
Hello Vladyreaper,

You and I seem to have similar interests, although your Wikipedia efforts are more productive. I participate in canoe slalom at the geriatric level (70+), and I write articles about canoe slalom venues. I have first-hand experience with the three North American venues, Dickerson ,Charlotte, and Deep Creek, but all my information about other venues comes from the Internet. I am trying to produce an .svg map of each venue, starting with satellite photos. Tacen is my latest map.

Do you live anywhere near Tacen? Have you ever seen a race there? Did you happen to pick up any literature on the course: the vertical drop, methods of regulating the flow (at the spillway or an an upstream dam), the usual streamflow for a race, etc.? Do you have any photos? I figured out the gate positions of the 2010 Championships from YouTube videos, but information in general is hard to find.

Thanks for covering this sport.

Put under the category possibly living instead. Yeah it is very likely they are alive-but for some reason people often put them under possibly living. (Which that category even has people who I'm sure are not alive that did stuff in the 1920s!) Anyway good luck editing and have fun! Wgolf (talk) 23:19, 20 August 2014 (UTC)

A style proposal
Thank you for your work on the 2014 ICF Canoe Slalom World Championships, which I attended. Were you there? If so, I'm sorry we didn't connect.

Anyway, here is my proposal. Since you are the most frequent contributor to such articles, I wanted your opinion. Canoe slalom venues are usually identified by the nearest local town, with a link to the Wikipedia article about that town. For example, in the article referenced above, the failed bid from Kraków links to an article about the city, which contains no reference to the venue that was the subject of the bid (I will fix that by adding a line in the Sport section). However, since readers are most likely to click on that link looking for information about the venue, the following link might be more helpful: Kraków.

I think that in general, a reference to a canoe slalom venue should be the name of the city, but with the link to the article about the venue. That article always contains a link to the city in the first line, for people who want to know about the city. What do you think?

Autopatrolled
Hi Vladyreaper, I just wanted to let you know that I have [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=rights&page=User%3AVladyreaper added] the "autopatrolled" permission to your account, as you have created numerous, valid articles. This feature will have no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on new page patrollers. For more information on the autopatrolled right, see Autopatrolled. Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! TonyBallioni (talk) 21:36, 25 October 2017 (UTC)

ICF World Junior and U23 Canoe sprint Championships................hi please also create canoe sprint hunior and u23 ,,,, and thanks for your edits in slalom. when was held first youth canoe sprint world championships? are you know? Canoevilapark (talk) 07:14, 3 June 2018 (UTC)


 * Hi, I am sorry, but I don't know. I don't do canoe sprint articles. Vladyreaper (talk) 09:58, 3 June 2018 (UTC)

Medals
Hey, great work on adding them and even more to the articles. Just a small thing. One link to the event is enough, so when an athlete wins more than one medal at the event it should not be wikilinked again. Example Kante4 (talk) 15:28, 30 September 2018 (UTC)


 * alright, will do. Thanks for helping out as well. Vladyreaper (talk) 15:36, 30 September 2018 (UTC)

Please stop undoing my edits to this page
Please stop undoing my edits to this page There are legitimate results


 * 1. you didn't sign your post (although I know who you are)
 * 2. you didn't say which page (although I know which one)
 * 3. the results might be legitimate, but they are hardly worthy of inclusion in medal statistics. Those are reserved for major international competitions and not minor local ones. otherwise the best athletes would have medal lists with hundreds of medals
 * 4. I didn't delete those results, I just moved them to a separate section
 * 5. their veracity is dubious at best, so you can be happy I didn't remove them completely
 * 6. judging by your username, you are the husband of the person that the page refers to and therefore you shouldn't even be allowed to edit that page as per wikipedia guidelines
 * 7. now the page is protected from you. I didn't request it, but I am thankful for it

Ivrea Whitewater Stadium
Hello! Thank you very much for your edits on the page! While writing it, I was also realizing that the 2008 caneo slalom world championships never occurred, yet the town definitely hosted a major canoeing event that year. I was planning on asking people I know what the event was in the next days, but maybe could you also help me? Thank you again! Plumbago Capensis (talk) 23:07, 6 October 2023 (UTC)


 * You're welcome and thank you for creating that article. Could it be the Wildwater Canoeing World Championships? It says that the 2008 championships were held in Valsesia which is nearby, but I'm not sure if the Ivrea Whitewater Stadium even existed back then.
 * You should also add some more sources to your article because it's pretty thin in that regard. Vladyreaper (talk) 10:14, 7 October 2023 (UTC)
