Ludowika Jakobsson

edit

I corrected the spellings in your article Ludowika Jakobsson. The word meaning inhabitant of Finland is spelled "Finnish" with two n's. "Finish" means to stop. I also deleted the category Finish figure skaters and replaced it with Finnish figure skaters.

Hello Uwe Langer! I noticed that you have edited figure skating-related articles. I have created WikiProject Figure Skating, with the goal of improving Wikipedia's coverage of figure skating articles. We could use your help! Please consider joining. Thanks! --Fang Aili 說嗎? 19:16, 24 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

Herma Szabo

edit

Hello Uwe. Could you help me with this article? I have a few questions about Herma's mother and father, questions you may be able to answer because you understand German better than I do.

Are Christine von Szabo and Christine Schäfer the same person? (See Karl Schäfer.) Is Herma their child? I have been referencing all the relevant articles in English and German, as well as http://www.engelmann.co.at/k_history.htm, but I can't figure it out.

Also, am I missing anything major from de:Herma Szabo?

Thank you for any help you can give! --Fang Aili talk 18:17, 3 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

The wife of Karl Schäfer was Christine Schäfer. She was the daughter of Eduard Engelmann jr., the owner of the Vienna-Hernals ice rink. Christine von Szabo is the sister of him, Eduard Englemann jr., so both women are two different persons. Christine von Szabo is the mother of Herma Szabo. I have no clue why the "von" got lost. Herma Szabo was obviously several times merried, thats why there are so many permutations of her name. So in the German article I decided to put her just under de:Herma Szabo. Eduard Engelmann jr. is son of Eduard Engelmann senior. What else do you need to know about Herma Szabo? I do not really understand your question. The link is refering to the correct German article. Uwe Langer 21:09, 13 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Sorry, I missed your response. I'll look at this thing again later on. Good job with the junior worlds page! --Fang Aili talk 14:40, 2 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

Great translation on figure skater. wow. Could you alos translate Hermann Schulz? and expand Ingrid Lehmann Ernst Stavro Blofeld 15:20, 2 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

Not particularly interested like to broaden my interests! Ernst Stavro Blofeld 20:34, 2 September 2006 (UTC) Sure I can translate, however Hermann did not win any international medal. He is certainly interesting from the German perspective. Are you sure I shoud add him to the english wiki? I would love to expand the article about Ingrid Lehmann, but do not have really more material. End of September I will be at the Nebelhorntrophy in Oberstdorf. Unlikely but hopefully I can collect some facts. Uwe Langer 15:30, 2 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

I'm not calling you a monster. :) Saying in the edit summary (and so in the history) what the source is doesn't count as citing the source.

re: Figure Skating

edit

Hey. :) I find a lot of new skating articles in one of two ways: either by already having the red link on my watchlist, or by clicking on the "contribs" link next to a name. As for results pages, I would love it if you made them! It's hard for me to find online results for competitions that took place before 1999 and I think it would be wonderful to have those results on wikipedia. But, hey, if you don't have time, no pressure. :) Kolindigo 01:13, 3 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

re: United States flag

edit

Hi. Thanks so much for all the articles you've created! I've been using the articles Flag of the United States and Flag of Canada to find out when the flags for those countries changed. According to the Flag of the United States article, the current US flag (   {{flagicon|USA}} ) was put into effect a few months after the 1960 World Championships, so there is no special US flag for 1962.

Question

edit

Hello Uwe Langer, i liked to ask you a question, hopefully you know the right answer (forgive me if mine English isn’t very good, as a Dutchman i didn’t use English very much)

About the competitorslist of pairs of the WCH figureskating 1959 in Colorado Springs: on skatabase they mention a number of 8, you in your article 1959 World Figure Skating Championships a number of 7, the USA pair Maribel Owen / Dudley Richards is the different pair (+ vs. -). Do you know what’s right in these? 86.85.150.20 (talk) 13:03, 13 April 2011 (UTC)Reply
Sorry, i forgot that. 8th was the pair from Austria Hinko/Dopfl. Uwe Langer (talk) 20:17, 31 May 2011 (UTC)Reply
I forgot place no. 6th Owen/Richards (USA). I just added them. Thank you very much for the tip. Uwe Langer (talk) 20:23, 31 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

Question II

edit

Hello Uwe Langer, i liked to ask you another question, hopefully you know the right answer again.

About the competitorslist of pairs of the WCH figureskating 1966 in Davos: on skatabase they mention a number of 14, you in your article 1966 World Figure Skating Championships a number of 15.
The AUT pair Schönbauer / Bietak ranked 14 (with a placingscore of 124) is the different pair. Do you know what’s right in these? Are you right (as following the: Result List provided by the ISU) or eskatefans?
Note: At their personel articles on en:wikipedia, both competitors are only competed in 1964 and 1965. Thank you for your attention to this (as time being). 86.85.150.20 (talk) 13:35, 1 November 2011 (UTC)Reply
Hello, sorry for being not online for so long. I have checked the ISU result list. The Austrians Schönbauer / Bietak were 14th and Csordás / Kondi from Hungary were place 15th. The editor of Skatabase must have forgottem them. However i found a mistake in the placings of the Canadiens (It was obviously not 1118, it was 118) in my article, so i had a chance to correct that. Keep asking, i am quite equipped with result lists, I go to libraries and search for old results. Europeans and Worlds of Figure skating are also published by the ISU (International Skating Union).

Hi. When you recently edited Knut Schubert, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Ekaterina Vassilieva (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite

edit

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:10, 7 November 2016 (UTC)Reply
