Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Olympics/Winter articles

message: The country by year table looks a bit like the Summer Olympics one. It claims Australia first competed in 1924 (it first competed in 1936), that Jamaica first competed in 1948 (1988 is more likely), and that various soviet countries boycotted a 1984 winter olympics (which were held in communist Yugoslavia). Should there be a note that it's more a guess than statement of fact? Thanks, Andjam 12:32, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Labyrinth (card game)

message: "Any gap is immediately filled by a card from the stock."
"when the player decides to fill the gap later"
Which statement is right?  Or does the "immediately" bit apply only when only one row has been dealt so far?  (That said, when there's only one row it doesn't really matter whether you fill the gaps after playing each card or once you've played them all.)  And do any gaps in the top row have to be filled up before a new row is dealt? -- Smjg 12:16, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

message: The opposing captain, Thakore Saheb of Rajkot, conceded the match when Nimbalkar was nine short of the then world-record score, held by Don Bradman, apparantly because he did not wish to see Bradman's record being broken.
There is a good chance that the Bradman story is an urban legend. I have read a Nimbalkar interview (which I'll dig up some time) which says nothing of it, and only hints that Thakore Saheb conceded the match because his pride had been too badly hurt. There was yet another story that used to do rounds here that BBN could not continue after lunch because he was getting married that evening, which is certainly false.

message: "Public" facilities in the USA are run by the government. But the word "public" is often used to mean anything open to the general public, whether or not it's run by the government. Note that in the USA, "public schools" are government-run, while in the UK and India, "public schools" are privately run. To minimize confusion, I am changing "publicly maintained facility" to "government-run facility", to clarify that "publicly maintained" here refers to who runs it, not to who may access it.

Category talk:Photographers

message: Earlier discussion on the category "Art photographers"
The category "Art photographers" has been merged into that of "Photographers" and the talk page for "Art photographers" was then moved here. Here, out of immediate context, the talk is a little hard to understand. (For example, the first subheading is "What's this category for?", with no explanation that "this category" is something other than "Photographers".) I have therefore archived it all to :Category talk:Photographers/Art photographers (merged category) and deleted it from this page. -- Hoary 07:37, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

message: Why is there no category for documentary photographers?  Not all are "photojournalists," and not all photojournalists are documentary photographers.  I think this needs to be added.  Bruxism (talk) 06:55, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: You're right that not all documentary photographers are photojournalists. But how could a photojournalist not be a documentary photographer? Also, I worry that such a large percentage of photographers are (in some sense of the phrase) documentary photographers as to make the latter category rather unhelpful. Where would it lead? Take Cartier-Bresson, for example; surely he was a documentary photographer. Offhand I can't think of any work by his that can't be called documentary; would he then eventually belong to a category of "French documentary photographers", which, together with a group of French [non-documentary] photographers would make up "French photographers"? -- Hoary (talk) 07:14, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  I beg to differ - Cartier-Bresson is esteemed in an artistic sense, in addition to his more candid work, for his contributions to the form photography - in all its senses - has today. If anything, I would avoid trying to 'pigeonhole' a type of photographer, or even trying to categorise the same... rather, it would be better to just write an article about a photographer's notoriety, and let his work/publications mentioned therein speak for him.

Talk:Cotah Ramaswami

message: Removed this from the Notes section :
V.Ramnarayan (see references) writes that while at Cambridge, Ramaswami and S.M.Hadi (another first class cricketer) won a doubles tournament defeating a Dutch pair in the final, who went on to win the Wimbledon doubles title. It is not obvious who the Dutch players were.
Ramnarayan was wrong. According to My reminiscences by C.Ramaswami, published in The Sunday Standard (undated) and reproduced in Buchi Babu and his sporting clan, the Dutch players that Ramaswami and Hadi defeated were von Lennep and Castendyck who were the doubles champions of Holland but didn't do anything notable in Wimbledon. 
Ramaswami writes about the Davis Cup match against Spain (p.28) that Spain had a very strong team with Manuel Alonso and Comte de Gomar and Flaquer, who played the doubles. Dr Fyzee and I beat them after a gruelling five set encounter. A fortnight later, they won the men's doubles at Wimbledon.
Ramaswami isn't correct either. The India-Spain match was in 1922 Link. Comte de Gomar and Flaquer reached the doubles final at Wimbledon the next year (1923) see this but lost to Leslie Godfree and Randolph Lycett in the final. This will be added to the article in the next revision. Tintin (talk) 12:54, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Davis Cup 

message: Writes Subroto Sircar in his article "The two-trade men" in Cricinfo Magazine, July 2006 issue :
Legall, one of Trinidad's finest all-round sportsmen, went on to play Davis Cup for British Carribean in 1954 and again in 1956.But while Ramaswami appeared at Wimbledon, Legall never played at the most famous of all tennis tournaments.
In 1921, Ramaswami played Wimbledon at the Worple Road. The following summer, when the tournament moved to its present venue on Wimbledon's church road, Ramaswami was one of the several Indian participants. Another was Syed Mohammed Hadi, also a Cambridge man, who later, like Ramaswami, represented India in the Davis Cup.
There are no mentions about Ramaswami playing at Wimbledon in the few books that I have. The most prominent among them is a 15 page memoir by Ramaswami (see refs in the article). He dedicates three pages to his time abroad between 1919 and 1923 - one page for his Cambridge days, one for his tour of Holland and Davis Cup apperances and another for his tennis tour of USA. The two Davis Cup matches are allotted a long paragraph but there is no mention about Wimbledon. In a recent column, Steven Lynch says he doesn't know about Ramaswami playing at Wimbledon. 
There is no reason to suppose that Ramaswami forgot to mention about Wimbledon in his memoirs. Wimbledon should not be included in this article unless supported by a more authentic reference like a listing of all players/matches from Wimbledon 1921/1922, the autobiography of Ramaswami or some such book.

replies: text: Ramaswami took part in 1922 Wimbledon according to 1922 Wimbledon Championships – Men's Singles, which comes from the ITF site. So I am going to add it in the article. Tintin 14:37, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
