Talk:Rowing at the 1972 Summer Olympics

message: I've just written the article 1972 New Zealand eight and was surprised to find that compared to my very detailed source, the men’s eight article lists the Kiwi rowers in the wrong order. The bow and stroke are swapped, and all the seats in between are equally transposed. I see that the WP article is consistent with the FISA database. Digging further, it's the original official Olympic Report that’s also got them in that wrong order. Maybe the good people at FISA simply copied from the official document?
I therefore wondered whether the official report is consistent in its erroneous listings. I’ve looked for strokes in other teams. First up, Sports Reference reports that Lawrence Terry was the stroke for the USA (note, though, that the Americans swapped seats between the heat and semi-final according to the official record). East German media reported that Borzym was their stroke (“Schlagman”; note registration needed for that source) at the July regatta at Rotsee, but I couldn’t find any Olympic reporting on their seat allocations. The German WP entry for Reinhard Wendemuth mentions that he was stroke, but it’s not supported by an inline reference. I couldn’t find anything about the Soviet Union or Poland. But four out of six examples where I did find something suggest that the official record is consistently the wrong way round. 
That’s just for the coxed eight; I haven’t checked how the other boat classes check out. Does anybody know more about it? Shall we reverse the order of the eight rowers to what is shown in the source? Schwede66 00:07, 3 January 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: The official report seems to list the crews in the opposite order in the later rounds compared with with how they've listed them for the earlier rounds. Looking at the GBR fours it seems that the order is listed correctly for heats and reps but reversed for semi and finals.  In those days, of course, many nations did number crew positions from stroke to bow, rather than vice versa. --David Biddulph (talk) 19:47, 3 January 2018 (UTC)

thread_title:  Citation?  

message: The technology development in the period of the Cold War was on an uprise due to the sheer competitiveness between the Soviet Union and the United States. Many Americans were worried about the United States, it was up in the air if they would be able keep up and make new advances in technology.
“Amid concern about how the United States can protect its technological advantages, spur a new era of innovation, and maintain its economic and military edge, one often hears the yearning for another “Sputnik moment.” The Soviet satellite—the first “artificial moon,” in the parlance of the era—sparked a celebrated “golden age” of government-driven innovation that has become a touchstone in contemporary policy discussions.”

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Russian history

message: The reason I am contacting you is because there are one or more portals that fall under this subject, and the Portals WikiProject is currently undertaking a major drive to automate portals that may affect them.
Portals are being redesigned.
The new design features are being applied to existing portals.
At present, we are gearing up for a maintenance pass of portals in which the introduction section will be upgraded to no longer need a subpage. In place of static copied and pasted excerpts will be self-updating excerpts displayed through selective transclusion, using the template .
The discussion about this can be found here.
Maintainers of specific portals are encouraged to sign up as project members here, noting the portals they maintain, so that those portals are skipped by the maintenance pass.  Currently, we are interested in upgrading neglected and abandoned portals. There will be opportunity for maintained portals to opt-in later, or the portal maintainers can handle upgrading (the portals they maintain) personally at any time.
=== Background ===
On April 8th, 2018, an RfC ("Request for comment") proposal was made to eliminate all portals and the portal namespace.  On April 17th, the Portals WikiProject was rebooted to handle the revitalization of the portal system. On May 12th, the RfC was closed with the result to keep portals, by a margin of about 2 to 1 in favor of keeping portals.
There's an article in the current edition of the Signpost interviewing project members about the RfC and the Portals WikiProject.
Since the reboot, the Portals WikiProject has been busy building tools and components to upgrade portals.
So far, 84 editors have joined.
If you would like to keep abreast of what is happening with portals, see the newsletter archive.
If you have any questions about what is happening with portals or the Portals WikiProject, please post them on the WikiProject's talk page.
Thank you.     — The Transhumanist    11:01, 31 May 2018 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Russia/Assessment

message: I'm not sure I understand what the difference is between Mid and Low priority. They both talk about "specific knowledge" - yet, an article about a single song (eg. Katyusha (song), Piano Concerto No. 1 (Tchaikovsky)) can be of mid importance while an article about the history of an entire distinctively Russian branch of filmmaking (eg. History of Russian animation) can be of low importance.  Moreover, History of the Soviet Union - undoutedly one of the most important articles in this project - is ranked mid-importance as well.
I just really don't understand what's going on here.  Could the descriptions on this page of the Mid/Low/etc. categories be made a little longer and more precise at least, so there's some less ambiguity? Esn 01:46, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It depends on how much the subject is known to the general public outside Russia. Russian filmmaking (let alone animation) is, I'm afraid, not very well known outside of Russia (except for Sergei Eisenstein, Sergei Bondarchuk and Andrei Tarkovsky); therefore, while I'm not denying it is an importance article, it gets low-importance for this project; box office successes like The Turkish Gambit and Night Watch (2004 film) will probably also be of low importance until they have made a big impact in the U.K. or the USA. Katyusha is well known outside Russia, Tchaikovsky's piano concerto is very well known outside Russia in several versions (also made popular by classical pianists turned popular like Liberace ). History of the Soviet Union rates mid, because History of Russia (a FA, BTW) contains a lot of information about the history of the Soviet Union. Errabee 02:29, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

text: Errabee, This criteria you apply is flawed with systemic bias toward western culture. The key question to see is: would the same importance-standard applied for a USA-related article with the same local importance? Also doesn't seem a good idea to rely on the knowledge of the "general public"; instead, we should rely on scholars' opinions. --BMF81 09:04, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry, your reasoning is flawed. Systemic bias is bias from editors (which means an overabundancy on technical subjects and marginal pop groups), the importance ratings are about bias from readers. While we can correct bias from editors, we cannot correct bias from readers. And readers are what this project is all about. Errabee 22:09, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Mecklenburg Lake Plateau

replies: text: You're right, but we have to follow the sources and Elkins, a subject matter expert, used that title. However, your point would be worth making in the lede somwehere. Bermicourt (talk) 07:01, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Expert indeed, which makes me wonder why he made that mistake. Unless the combination of lake and plateau does convey something else but a plateau in the geographical sense, in which case the mistake would be mine. --G-41614 (talk) 13:48, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: He appears not to be the only one. The US Library of Congress also translates it as Mecklenburg Lake Plateau as does Embleton in the Geomorphology of Europe. The term "lake plateau" seems to be quite common e.g. there is a Finnish Lake Plateau and a Nile Lake Plateau Basin (contradiction in terms?); I wonder if it's a term in its own right. Bermicourt (talk) 19:42, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I certainly would not know that. For Germany, there might be a connection to "Platte", the term used in German (Mecklenburgische bzw. finnische Seenplatte), Seenplatte denoting a level landscape dotted with lakes. Other than that, I have no idea, but in the end all that might require further consideration is whether to include the differentiation somewhere in the article. As it is a negativum (despite being called a plateau, it's not one), I imagine a source for that might be a bit hard to find. Sorry it takes me some time to answer.
