Talk:Nellie Kim

message: I was tidying up the English on this page (found on a Random-Page voyage), and noticed that her forename was spelt in two ways.  When I checked the two external links in order to discover the correct spelling (they didn't solve my problem, incidentally), I found that the current Wikipepedia article was lifted pretty well word for word from it; the minor omissions and alterations don't help, I think.

replies: text: Yes, it was the copyvio by the creator of the article. By the way it was I that added a link which you followed and did a conclusion, that it was copyvio :-) I compiled an article using various public domain sources to replace copyvio under Nelli Kim/Temp, you are welcome to look through it.

replies: text: Sorry not to have noticed what you'd done.  I've just copy-edited the text (tidied the English a little), but it looks fine. Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 23:41, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Tidying 

message: Before 1991 at least in all UNO documents it was translated as "Byelorussian SSR", see , ,  therefore, I changed "Belarusian SSR" (recent edit by somebody) to "Byelorussian SSR". Cmapm 18:06, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Byelorussian SSR vs Belarusian SSR

message: I removed some of them, some other reworded. Among the removed ones was, I believe, a very strong POV:
"Comaneci came out on top, cementing her reputation as the most famous and exciting gymnast in the world."
What about, e.g., Larisa Latynina? Who and in accordance with which criterias decides, which athlete is "the most famous and exciting gymnast in the world"? Cmapm 03:17, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: POV issues introduced recently

message: I only see one person involved in this apparent dispute. Is there another side to this? Either way, I've given the article an edit to remove some POV language and edit for grammar and style. It still needs a few sources for the facts cited. Fagstein 19:54, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: From [[WP:3o]]

message: There seems to be a chip on the shoulder vis a vis Comaneci's accomplishments.  Mentioning who else was in the running for any particular competition is certainly appropriate, especially as Kim and Comaneci were considered to be something of rivals, but little digs at Comaneci are amateurish--this isn't a fan site.  Example:
She also cited a comment by Canadian newspapers about Kim's performance, as compared to Comaneci's one: "There are moments, when a natural smile is more worth, than triumph".
--Who cares?  Why is one columnist's dig at Comaneci worthy of inclusion?  Furthermore it is sexist to implicitly criticize Comaneci for not smiling--smiling as she's competing?  Who cares?  It's not a pageant, it's an athletic competition of the most elite gymnasts in the world.
...while Comaneci managed to win only the remaining one on bars.
"Managed" to win?  "Only"? Winning *any* gold medal is an accomplishment to be proud of.  Clear POV.
On the vault [Comaneci] performed only a simple Tsukahara.
This, after the previous sentence touting Kim's technical prowess, comes off as a indictment of Comaneci's abilities.  "Only"? "Simple"?  Clear POV.
