Talk:Bandy

message: Maybe people interested in bandy are interesting in this subject too, since it deals with the early history of bandy. If you look at Talk:1913 European Bandy Championships, some user has suggested rather extensive changes to the page, since it is claimed that it was not a tournament between national teams but between club teams from different European countries, and that it was not held in Davos but in St. Moritz. I don't know why the changes are not made to the page, but maybe the user wants it to be discussed first. Please add your thought on the matter at that page.

replies: text: I suggested a merge now, I hope I did it the right way so that it is accknowledged properly and seen by people who might want to have a say in the matter.

text: The discussion about a possible merge is interesting. You might want to take part in it, since it also will affect this article and other articles on bandy history.  ; As we see the human society is liquid, we are all just running with the flow (talk) 09:02, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  1913 inter-European tournament 

message: So a relatively new developed version of bandy played at small rinks just like rink bandy, is the form called 'short bandy'. It seems to have been created in Czechia and is supposed to be better for preparing for bandy played at regular sized bandy rinks. Should it have its own article or should it be better described in this article or in the article on rink bandy? Bandyman Desire (talk) 03:35, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, I think so. It would be interesting to learn more about it.  ; As we see the human society is liquid, we are all just running with the flow (talk) 10:27, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: If there is enough to say about it and there are good sources, I think it could have its own article. If not, it might be enough to mention it in the article on rink bandy. Is it only played in Czechia? Ove Raul (talk) 13:43, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  Should 'short bandy' have its own article? 

message: It has been claimed at Talk:1913 European Bandy Championships that the 1913 European Bandy Championships never happened and that the article should be 'redirected' to some other page (or maybe even deleted, if I correctly understand the abbreviation used in the discussion). It is an interesting discussion and the outcome would affect this page too, since the 1913 European Bandy Championships is mentioned in the text on the history of bandy as what could have been some pivotal event or so, so here I write a note about it for others to see. Maybe more people could have some valuable input in the matter?  ; As we see the human society is liquid, we are all just running with the flow (talk) 15:29, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

replies: text: Even if this European championship tournament never happened but just may be a myth (according to one cointributor at Talk:1913 European Bandy Championships, the first known source ever mentioning the tournament at all was some book in the 1970s, i.e. more than half a century after the alledged event would have taken place) there is reason to have some words about it written somewhere, because if it is a myth, it is still a persistent one since the article has been on Wikipedia for years, there are other sources about it too and the International Bandy Federation (Federation of International Bandy, FIB) arranged a centennary jubilee event around it back in 2014.  Now I wonder how the text about this should be written and formulated and in what article it should be published.  I am still not that familiar with the workings of Wikipedia to really have my own view on this more than that I think there should be some text about it somewhere in the encyclopedia.  I would appreciate input from others on the subject.  ; As we see the human society is liquid, we are all just running with the flow (talk) 10:47, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

thread_title:  Did the 1913 European Bandy Championships ever happen? 

message: I have rewritten the article on the 1913 European Bandy Championships as well as the section in this article about it, reflecting that the competition likely never happened but is more of a myth or perhaps a factoid. Still, it is still worth having some information about it here, as it actually did serve as inspiration for a centennary celebration tournament in 2014, the Four nation bandy tournament in 2014! If you have any opinions on what I have written, please feel free to tell me here. I suppose some other articles about bandy history also need to be updated.  ; As we see the human society is liquid, we are all just running with the flow (talk) 12:00, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it is fine. Good to have this sorted out. The article on the mythical 1913 tournament could be better sourced, even if there is of course a reason for the lack ofsources as it seem to have never happened, but more sources describing the lack of contemporary sources would be good to have. Now there is only a link to one Russian Internet page and personally, I find ita bit hard to know how credible one can consider that page to be. Pepparkaksgubbe (talk) 03:37, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Finding sources describing the lack of sources that indicates that some alleged historical event never happened is always a bit difficult. Fact-checking things like this is a challange for credible sources. Better sources are always welcome. Hopefully, there are more which could be added.  ; As we see the human society is liquid, we are all just running with the flow (talk) 08:04, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: A quick search on the Internet finds no sources of clear credibility. Most seem to refer to eachother or just stating it as if it was a fact, rather than showing any contemporary sources from 1913. Maybe there is some if you look further, but I think you'd have to go through old printed sources if you are to find anything from back in the day when this is supposed to have happened.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 185.104.137.42 (talk) 17:59, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

text: Oh. I'm sorry, I suppose I should have signed my comments. Even if I am here anonymously and just wanted to share some sourcew which I don't even know if they are credible enough or interesting enough for this encyclopedia project, which seems to be directed towards readers of the general public rather than the academics studying a subject or fans interested in the subject.

thread_title:  The 1913 European Championships likely never happened and this is now reflected in this article 

message: The suggestion to merge the articles 1913 LIHG Championship and 1913 European Bandy Championships is now formally closed. The articles will not be merged, but there will be a statement in the article on the 1913 European Bandy Championships that this tournament likely never happened and the information about it probably is confused with actual information about the 1913 LIHG Championship. I write about this here because it has been discussed here, but if anyone still wants to add to the discussion about it, I think it might be better to it at talk:1913 European Bandy Championships. I think discussions of this kind sometimes never ends but will be taken up again and again.  ; As we see the human society is liquid, we are all just running with the flow (talk) 08:26, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  Proposal to merge two articles is now formally closed 

message: The article claims India has never sent a national team to any international bandy competition, but wasn't there a team representing India at the youth world championship this year? Green leaves okay (talk) 16:33, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: No. India was supposed to send a teamto the U17 boys World Championship in Sankt Michel (Mikkeli) in Finland, but eventually the Indians never came. That’s sad, I would have loved to see it. Ove Raul (talk) 06:36, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
