Talk:Tinkoff (cycling team)

message: This was very close to the standard for passing as GA in most respects - it is well-referenced, has balanced POV, well-illustrated, images have appropriate tags (great examples of photography by Wikipedians) and well-structured. It didn't read as well as it could have done, and I have given it a pretty extensive copy-edit so hopefully it is better now. There is a word in here that I expect is either mistranslated or untranslated - "classement". If somebody could sort that out (if it's a technical cycling term, could somebody include a description) and renominate it, I expect it should pass as a GA next time round. There's some excellent work here, are all cycling team articles this good? TheGrappler 14:54, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you for the pointers (as well as those left on my talk page!) and the copy-editing. I'll take a stab at explaining the classement (it is another (probably French) word for "classification" (as in General Classification), and is used interchangeble as jargon). I'll do some editing..

replies: text: Shame missed GA, sure to pass next time. Classement is French, and is used widely in cycling circles by English-speakers (and Scandinavian language speakers too, I think). I would not bother translating or explaining it. That is the beauty of Wiki links: just link to the GC article, and readers can seek their own enlightenment! Just make sure that classement is explained over there. --Mais oui! 17:10, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I am afraid that may be my ignorance coming through ;) But ... this isn't written for cycling enthusiasts alone, and I suspect I would not have been unknown in having difficulty with the word. (As it turned out, it meant what I guessed it did, but I would prefer not having to guess at all!) Usually WP:POPUP allows me to deal with the problem of terms and people I am not familiar with (even better that clicking on the link, just hover over it - genius!) but it didn't help in this case. I think it's benefitted from the rewrites, it reads much easier now. In its current state I believe it is highly likely to pass as a GA, before the recent edits I think most people would agree that it failed "well-written". The new lead is a big improvement.

replies: text: In Danish at least it's klassement. I tried to fit classement in there, but defining three terms (General Classification, GC and Classement) as the same thing seemed too much, so I left it with the two first options and deleted classement.. I'll go ahead and renom. Poulsen 17:30, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

text: No apart from the articles closely related to Tour de France and Lance Armstrong, road bicycle racing articles tend to be kind of stubish.  A number of articles are actually just translations from the other European language wikis.--Per Abrahamsen 17:57, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

message: I corrected a few spellings and now see nothing to stop this being a "Good Article". Congratulations. SeanMack 07:52, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

message: Does anyone know when CSC began using Cervelo bikes? --Bicycle repairman 17:57, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I found an old article from B.T. (tabloid) saying Cervelo started sponsoring before the 2003 season. Peugeot was a sponsor in 1998 and 1999. They were sponsored  by Vitus in 2000, but switched to Look before the 2000 Tour (search for Vitus), and then the Cervelo in 2003. Be aware though, that from time to time, the team has used bikes from other companies than their sponsors, and have just put a name sticker on the frames. Poulsen 19:10, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cervelo 

message: Is there an appropriate place to mention the new managing director, Trey Greenwood? It seems like a significant change for the team.  He is former managing director and part owner of Form Fitness / SATS and also part owner.

thread_title:  New Managing Director 

message: I replaced all links to www.team-csc.com with www.riis-cycling.com in this article, as the former name is no longer in dns.  However, there are many other such links on other articles.  Anyone know how to make a global search and replace?--Per Abrahamsen (talk) 09:52, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

message: I sent Sørensen (or whoever responds to messages sent to chris@chrisanker.dk ) an email asking in English and web-translated Danish (hopefully one or the other will make sense to him!) whether the reports of him riding as a Luxembourger this season are true.

replies: text: Although the metaphorical horse's mouth ought to be reliable, and I wouldn't revert your edit based on his word, it remains open to challenge on the basis of RS, as receipt of an e-mail can't be verified.  The UCI site ought to be authoritative, but is often lacking: cyclingnews is good, but far from error free, and the team site, although it has at least been updated for this season which is more than can be said for some, has a vested interest in his Danishness.  That UCI ruling does seem odd though, if cyclingnews have it right: very few op level cyclists who are not from western mainland Europe live in their country of origin: the Katusha site lists the residence of its riders.  On the evidence of that, Botcharov will have to re-register as French, Kolobnev as Spanish, Pliushin as Swiss, Petrov as Italian, etc  Kevin McE (talk) 10:37, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not necessarily expecting a reply at all. The email link is the only content of his website - it appears to have fallen into a bit of disrepair. It's possible no one checks the box, but I figured it was worth a try. Nosleep (Talk · Contribs) 22:22, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sørensen's nationality 

message: I suggest to make the "notable wins" section more similar to the "major results" sections of the other ProTour teams. That means a list of the victories, of the podiums in the main World Tour races, and flag icons for the national championships. LegendK (talk) 21:20, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
