Discord

Hey all, I hope everyone is safe and healthy. My name is HickoryOughtShirt?4 and I'm a member of WikiProject Ice Hockey. I was wondering if there was any interest in starting a WikiProject Sports channel on Discord? There's quite a few of us who are interested in sports, and I think it would be a good idea to help the WikiProject recruit more members. You guys can join us through here.HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 00:10, 13 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Misleading banner/main image

@Edgars2007, Sczipo, and Gasheadsteve: this bear image at the top of this WikiProject seems to be misleading. Much better eg File:Biathlon-Weltcup 2006 Antholz 1.jpg or File:Biathlon Schalke.jpg--Estopedist1 (talk) 14:24, 22 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No objections from me. I took the bear from some other project. --Edgars2007 (talk/contribs) 14:51, 22 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

the image is changed. Just in case I copied old one here: [[File:Medved mzoo.jpg|thumb|WikiProject Biathlon's mascot, Dwight, watching you write articles for him.]]--Estopedist1 (talk) 13:38, 1 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Need assistance on an issue

Hi,

I have encountered some edits on the 2020–21 Biathlon World Cup article by User:FabDab11 and User:Lukasss222 that may require an attention from the WP:BIATHLON community. In the edits in question these users (I suspect a single person is doing this from both accounts, but can't be sure at 100%) add the jersey pictograms (depending on color - yellow, red and blue) which are usually used in cycling event articles. He has done this on other wintersport season report articles as well. I want to hear your thoughts on this. Ivaneurope (talk) 15:33, 30 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

From my point of view, if the pictograms introduced are also in other disciplines, having the same task - to show who is the leader in a given discipline, they should remain, as this makes it easier to find information in a given article. Lukasss222 (talk) 15:47, 30 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Well, there are classifications, where the leader doesn't wear a specific colored bib - in the case of the Biatlon World Cup that would be the leaders of the Relay, Mixed Relay and Nation classifications. For these the jersey pictogram has been removed since for them there is no bespoke bib. Ivaneurope (talk) 16:12, 30 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
