Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Skateboarding: Difference between revisions

Since this project has been inactive for a while, I hope that we can continue where the project left off. First off, we need more people to help improve articles so anybody who's interested should join. Many articles on skateboarding are currently stubs and are being vandalized frequently so we need people watching such pages. Also, many articles still don't exist and need to be created. Please provide suggestions here if you have ideas. Thanks. --_{Hdt83 Chat} 01:58, 23 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I believe we should come up with the list of sections each article should cover or at least create an appropriate infobox. When I edit articles about skateboarders on Slovene Wikipedia I add the list of sll the videos they had had parts in (skimfat.com) and the sponsorship histry (complete with dates when they got on and when they left). You can see an example here: sl:Mike Vallely --KoRnholio8 18:34, 23 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

As far as my expirience goes, references for skateboarding are hard to find, but I manage a skate news site and come across some articles that could be used for referencing at least once per week. The problem is, I don't have the time to add them to exand articles, so I suggest we put a section on the project page "unused articles", where anyone could post links to them and then people would incorporate them into the articles.

I stumbled on an article about Stevie Williams today.--KoRnholio8 18:37, 23 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Could we also use Epicly Later'd episodes as references?--KoRnholio8 07:10, 26 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I added the reference to the Stevie Williams article and removed the references tag but the page could still be improved. --_{Hdt83 Chat} 05:07, 28 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sice there is little response (and therefore no objections), I will create a section called Unused references and put "my findings" there. Can anyone please tell me their opinion on using Epicly Later'd episodes as references?--KoRnholio8 08:36, 29 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I've been thinking about removing (or explaining) all the jargon from the pages for skateboard and skateboarding. I think these two pages would be the first to be read by someone wanting to learn about skating and so they should be written for newcomers rather than those who understand the trick names etc. This would also be in line with WP:MOSDEF

Any thoughts on this? Steve-g 14:25, 25 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

skateboarding si cool not skateboardingi is not FUN —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.167.69.243 (talk) 18:56, 19 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, this article has rewritten, please consider revisiting the AfD discussion to see if your comments have been addressed. Benjiboi 23:50, 25 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WOW! Excellent work on the article. in a span of less than two days, its been rescued from AFD and has become a properly cited article with numerous references. Looks like a little more polishing and it can easily pass good article requirements. Thank you for your efforts! --Hdt83 ^Chat 08:11, 27 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You've very welcome. I get annoyed with article being sent to AfD and i take my frustration out by severely contributing! Benjiboi 20:38, 27 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Description

Skateboarding is one of the most popular sports and considering this, it is surprising that most articles related to skateboarding are currently in bad shape. User:Liface had proposed a wikiproject for skateboarding a year ago but he is not that active here anymore. This project would cover all aspects of skateboarding from tricks to companies having to do with skateboards.

Comments

Update: There is an already existing project at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Skateboarding. Unfortunately it is inactive, so we can start from there and improve it. --_{Hdt83 Chat} 01:27, 23 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to turn peoples attention to some of the skateboard companies articles. the ones I have so far look at (Element, Blacklabel, Flip) all are stubs. If anyone can improve on them in anyway. Arkkeeper (talk) 22:31, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Bolster's biography needs some restructuring. Please help out. —Viriditas | Talk 12:51, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hey there posers (just kidding). This article was recently nominated for deletion, and the result of the debate was keep. I've added your WikiProject banner to the talkpage of the article. Some of you's may wanna keep your eye on it/improve it. Cheers, Keeper | 76 | Disclaimer 16:27, 27 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hey people I waant to become an admin and I need people to support me, I'm a fellow skateboarder and I have made some contributions, some of which include (but are not limited to): Creation of Skateboarding sponsorship and additions to existing skateboarding related articles such as Flip tricks (skateboarding) and I intend on contributing to all other skateboard related article in due time. I also want to semi-protect our skateboarding pages from vandalism as I have viewed enough comments in the discussion/talk pages to believe that something must be done. I stand before you, ready to take on the role of a Skateboarding Administrator and will use my Administrative Powers to there fullest in the most responsible method possible. just click on this and add your support to the discussion section at the bottom of the page (not on the discussion/talk page). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Panyé El Skat-e-board-ér (talk • contribs) 18:15, 8 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I was also wonering if someone could help me fix the Vert Skateboarding article - I have left sufficient information to its discussion/talk page and require assistance with certain aspects on how to make the neccessary adjustments. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Panyé El Skat-e-board-ér (talk • contribs) 18:21, 8 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I would also like to point out the Discussion/talk page for Technical flatground skateboarding. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Panyé El Skat-e-board-ér (talk • contribs) 18:26, 8 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please note that a "Pop" Shove-it must be included as an essential flip trick and that "Shove-its without the Pop" cannot be included at all - the reason being that "normal Shove-its" are seldom used in combinations/variations of "Flip tricks" and therefore have been removed. That having been said, I suggest that we create a Shove-its page where all information on shove-its can be viewed (instead of not having them at all). This page should include (but is not limited to): Shove-its, Pop Shove-its, Street Shove-its. And I am more than happy to support/assist the creation of such a page.

I have just created the Shove-its article, but alas, I have just decided that it should be named Shove-it's. If you agree, then perhaps you could make the necessary adjustments (I don't know how to change/move articles to a different name).

If people want References and Sources just quote one of the Category:Skateboarding video games, Category:Skateboarding magazines, Category:Skateboarding videos and/or Category:Skateboarding films found on wikipedia. If it's impractical due to technicalities then don't let them get away with it and revert back to a trick-tip-video such as: Tony Hawks Trick Tips Series and The First Step (claiming to be "the ultimate skateboarding trick tip series" - found at "the1ststep.com"). I know I only named two but I'm sure there's more out there. If all else fails try for a last resort at visiting youtube, I here they have unlimited videos on trick tips - WARNING don't waste your bandwidth on youtube, youtube is shitzzle...someone just came up with the idea of ripping everyone off and they have succeeded, join me in the march against youtube!

I have just created Skateboarding styles, so check it out and do something with it.
If any of you feel that it is not needed, then please state why on the discussion/talk page - so as I can make the necessary adjustments for it not to be considered for deletion...or, I guess you could do it your self - if deemed necessary

Hi, i will try to help out with Skateplaces in Germany/europe --Tokuma (talk) 08:45, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think that we should add their stance, skateboard history (how long they have ridden a skateboard for), style, competitions entered, etc. to their articles and also make a page that catergorises them in some way.

--Panyé El Skat-é-board-ér 09:26, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

I reckon someone should merge the Shove-it article with the Shove-its article - as I think that there might be some information that I left out. And then some one should delete the Shove-it page.

Hey. Alex Perelson is undergoing a deletion debate. I don't think anyone involved in the debate (myself included) has anything but a superficial knowledge of skate culture. Is this lad a flash in the pan or do you think he's notable? - House of Scandal (talk) 14:26, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• There's been no recent discussion there and I would like to bee sure we've generated a clear consensus. Please pipe in. Thanks. - House of Scandal (talk) 11:36, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
