renaming?

[edit]

Maybe this article should be renamed History of ice skating. As it is now it doesn't have much to do with modern figure skating as a sport. --Fang Aili talk 20:36, 1 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. I doubt very much that there is archaeological evidence of anybody doing anything resembling "figure skating" in prehistoric times, for instance. "The Official Book of Figure Skating" says that figure skating began with the invention of edged blades, which makes sense. Dr.frog 22:18, 1 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Don't change it yet. I;ve only translated about 25% of the article. I worked late last night, so there was no new translation last night, but the German article does go into a lot of depth. The history of ice skating I've translated so far is just a lead-up to the figure skating sections. RyanGerbil10(The people rejoice!) 23:19, 1 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think the beginning sections of this article should be broken off into History of ice skating. Figure skating is a separate idea. --Fang Aili talk 16:27, 31 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This article should also incorporate information at Figure_skating#History. --Fang Aili talk 16:29, 31 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Re Org

[edit]

As per Fang Aili's suggestion, I have moved a lot of the content not specific to figure skating to Ice_skating#History. I'm going to now start working on merging Figure_skating#History with this article, as well as removing the info I have moved to Ice_skating#History.

Factual errors and references

[edit]

I've corrected some factual errors and added some references. E.g., Wright's book says the championship Jackson Haines won was held in Troy, not Philadelphia, and was called the "Championships of America", not the "United States Championships"; I've replaced some of the unsourced material on Haines with published information I could find; Dick Button's first triple was a loop, not a salchow; and added a mention of the 1961 plane crash as a turning point in the sport. There's a lot of other material in the article that I'm not too sure about, either -- did the original German version provide any references for this stuff?

Ice Dancing

[edit]

Shouldn't a section on Ice Dancing be added as well to the history of figure skating? Captain Gamma (talk) 14:24, 19 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Historic Photos

[edit]

I think it'd be great if one or both of the following photos could be included in this article:

origins

[edit]

i think the origins of skating can be updated with info from Ice_skate. It seems that skating began in Finland 5000 years ago. Neilisyours (talk) 18:52, 1 March 2011 (UTC)neil[reply]
