Multiple issues?
The article is tagged as to have multiple issues, but there is no discussion about it here on the talk page. I think someone who tags an article like that ought to start the discussion about it too. Anyway, let's work to make it better. Bandy långe (talk) 17:36, 29 August 2021 (UTC)
Bandy and covid-19
Like many other sports, bandy is a sport where the regular play and tournaments have been severely effected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The 2020 Bandy World Championship, meant to be played in Irkutsk in Russia, was postponed and now it might not be played at all, because Finland, Norway and Sweden have all declared that they won't come to play because of the risk of being infected. I don't know if the Russians will find it worthwhile to play the tournament, when all the other main contestants have said they won't show up. It's sad, but this is how it is in sports not as big as association football or the Olympic Games, where huge tournamenst like Euro 2020 and the 2020 Summer Olympics still have been arranged this summer. Eventually, some information about the situation and how it plays out should be added to this article. Bandy långe (talk) 21:28, 29 August 2021 (UTC)
The statue in Earith
There is obviously a statue of a bandy player in Earith, England. The source for this was just an URL for an image, , which is not a very good source. I tried to find a better one and found the same image at Pinterest. This is a slightly better source, but still not really good enough. I’ll try to look some more. A news article or some tourist information site would be better as a source. Bandy långe (talk) 19:55, 7 October 2021 (UTC)
- I found a better source now, The Hunts Post. It seems to be a pretty reliable source, even if it describes the history of bandy somewhat wrong. It was probably not thoroughly proof read... Bandy långe (talk) 20:26, 7 October 2021 (UTC)
- – Shall I add, that I really would like it if someone else took their time to perhaps check this too? The statue is there, there are enough sources showing it, but is this particular source which I added here good enough for Winipedia? Bandy långe (talk) 07:48, 9 October 2021 (UTC)
Sources which are translated
It is pretty good to refer to sources in other languages by refering to them through Google Translate, but the source shall not just be stated as "Google Translate". It should be stated as the source it is originally, with name, date of publishing etc. I just fixed this for one source previously given like that. Bandy långe (talk) 04:33, 8 October 2021 (UTC)
- ....and another one. There are quite a few sources given in this article which are good, but not presented in a good way. I'll do my best to amend this. Bandy långe (talk) 07:39, 9 October 2021 (UTC)
- I seem to have come here in a time period when not many other people are working with this particular subject, that is the article on bandy, as I get no respnse on what I write in my posts here. That is hardly a problem, I can work on making the article better myself, without exchanging ideas and opinions with someone else on the matter. It would be more interesting to work on it together with others, but what I am doing at the moment is more or less just bettering texts, or rather just references, which othere people have already put into the text sometime before. This is something anyone could do on his own; no discussions really needed on how to phrase things in the text.
- It is however a bit saddening finding out, that a reference source which probably was a good one when it was added to the text in the article, is now a dead link and as it is dead I cannot do anything much to better the refering note which accompany the text. When the link is dead, I cannot find the missing headline of a news article or the date this news article was originally published. These facts are information which should have been added to the note when the reference was originally added in the text of our article.
- However, at a whole, I think this article actually is a good article, describing bandy in a way which should be able to give an understanding of the sport even to readers not previously familiar with the subject and at the same time not so simple in its approach as to make the ordinary bandy fan thinking it's just nothing here that I don't already know.

Multiple issues of this article
One of the issues is now taken care of, at least as much as I have been able to do it. That was the issue of bad reference link descriptions. I have cleaned it up and therefor I removed that issue from the template on top of the page.
Now there is only one of the issues left. Should the multiple issues template be replaced by some one issue template? Bandy långe (talk) 05:33, 14 October 2021 (UTC)
- Well, it seems Cewbot took care of this for us. Thank you. Bandy långe (talk) 10:40, 18 October 2021 (UTC)
Nomination of Formation (bandy) for deletion
The following was just posted at my personal talk page. Maybe others are interested in giving their views on the subject too.
- A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Formation (bandy) is suitable for inclusion in Misplaced Pages according to Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
- The article will be discussed at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Formation (bandy) until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
- Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article.

Content size splits
Procedurally starting this discussion. Does the article need to be split for size, keeping in mind possible expansion? An option would be creating either Rules of bandy or a Glossary of bandy terms. User:力 (powera, π, ν) 17:47, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
- Yes, I agree. This could be a good idea, since many parts of the article could be expanded as it is, while the article is pretty long already as it is. A glossary of bandy terms would be much appreciated, I think – it could include information about what terms are used in different languages if these are significantly different, and also comparisons to the use of similar terms in other sports. Bandy rules would also merit its own article, where there could be more room to write about historical development of the rules of the game. Apart from your suggestions, I could imagine and would suggest that there was some other articles added too, with information moved there from this article. I'd like to have an article on History of bandy (where there could be more room to write about the origin of the sport and the split of it from what would become ice hockey, as I understand these sports where originally somewhat of variants of the same sport). I also think there could be room for adding more articles about bandy played in different countries, at least the countries where bandy is most popular, which would be the Russian Federation, Sweden, Finland, Kazakhstan, and perhaps Norway, perhaps other countries too if there is enough good sources to write about it, like probably the United Kingdom and the Netherlands. 92.32.242.138 (talk) 21:09, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
What's this "small group of ice skating sports"?
It says in the lead, that bandy "belongs to a small group of four ice skating team sports, irrespective of their associated variants, which now includes ice hockey, ringette, and rinkball."
What is this "group"? How is it organised or who defines it as a "group"?
I don't think this sentence is really clear. Are they a "group" just because they are all played on ice or is it something else which defines the group? There are other sports played on ice too, why are they not in this "group"? Please clarify.
95.199.138.45 (talk) 16:51, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
- I removed the text about this alleged group now, just as has been done in the article on ice hockey. For discussion on the topic and why the "group" should not be mentioned (as it is what could be called original research), see talk:Ice hockey.
- Removed again. Do not add it again without discussing first. We have talk pages for a reason.
- While these sports mught share some characteristics, they are not more related to eachother than bandy is related to for instance field hockey or association football. They are not grouped together by sports writers or sports governing bodies. Simply put, they are not a group.
Sorry, had to "copy paste" from a related page and only found this now.
𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗗𝗜𝗦𝗖𝗨𝗦𝗦𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝗣𝗨𝗥𝗣𝗢𝗦𝗘𝗦 𝗢𝗡𝗟𝗬 𝗝𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗧𝗟𝗗𝗥 𝘄𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 (𝘁𝗼𝗼 𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲): Hi, 𝙣𝙤, 𝙄 𝙖𝙢 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙖𝙨𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 "𝙜𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙥𝙞𝙣𝙜" 𝙩𝙤 𝙗𝙚 𝙖𝙙𝙙𝙚𝙙 𝙖𝙜𝙖𝙞𝙣. Turns out there are two types of talk pages on wiki, one for articles and one for personal, but when someone messages either, it doesn't show up in my notification box, only edits do. Please don't resort to pettiness. I appreciate the opportunity to have this discussion. This is off topic a bit because of a recent edit war, but just 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘀 𝘂𝗽 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗸𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗱 𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗰𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗿𝘂𝗻 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺𝘀 𝗜 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲: Be careful of 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗵 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: 𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗹 (𝗸𝗮𝘂𝗸𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗼) 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝗰𝗸𝗲𝘆, 𝗯𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘆, 𝗼𝗿 𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗯𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘆. 𝗜𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝘀𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁. "Rinkball" in english also 𝙞𝙣𝙘𝙤𝙧𝙧𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙡𝙮 𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙨𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙨 (via Google) as "bowling", "basketball", "longball" or "distance long-ball". This is incorrect. 𝙄𝙛 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙨𝙚𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙙 "𝙆𝙖𝙪𝙠𝙖𝙡𝙤𝙥𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙤", 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙠𝙗𝙖𝙡𝙡, 𝙣𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙚𝙡𝙨𝙚. The winter team sports of 𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝗰𝗸𝗲𝘆, 𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗹, 𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗯𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘆, are connected physically to some degree though they can't be effectively "grouped", at least not here. Regardless of which sport you're looking at, 𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙮𝙚𝙧𝙨 𝙤𝙣𝙡𝙮 𝙪𝙨𝙚 𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙬𝙤 𝙩𝙮𝙥𝙚𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙞𝙘𝙚 𝙨𝙠𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙨: - ice hockey skates (hockey and ringette, sometimes rinkball) - bandy skates (bandy, rink bandy, and mostly in rinkball) Not sure about bandy and rinkball 𝗴𝗼𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘀, though hockey and ringette goalies do use the same type of goalie skate. 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗴𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗼𝗱𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗱 𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘀, but no other country does as far as I can find (maybe Sweden does though I don't know the current status of rinkball there). These four sports wouldn't be classified as 𝘄𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘀 if: a. they were individual sports or disciplines b. they didn't use ice and require special equipment for athletes to use in order to play on this type of playing surface (ice skates). Without these two factors, they would just be ball hockey, street hockey or dek hockey, floorball, floor hockey with pucks/disks/balls, etc., gym hockey, inline hockey, rink hockey (quad)...you get the idea. 𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗦𝗘 𝗪𝗢𝗨𝗟𝗗 𝗡𝗢𝗧 𝗕𝗘 𝗪𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗥 𝗧𝗘𝗔𝗠 𝗦𝗣𝗢𝗥𝗧𝗦. Or they would be winter team sports like curling or ice stock (requires teams take turns, no ice skates of any kind, they use shoes). Evidence for a relevant and interesting connection between these four shows up when learning about 𝙝𝙞𝙜𝙝 𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚, 𝙬𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙩𝙚𝙖𝙢, 𝙢𝙪𝙡𝙩𝙞-𝙨𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙩 𝙖𝙩𝙝𝙡𝙚𝙩𝙚𝙨, especially 𝗪𝗢𝗠𝗘𝗡 athletes in Finland, as I've been finding out. If you start looking up elite female ice hockey players from Finland, it's not unusual to find that they have also played another one of these four sports, such as bandy and/or rinkball at some point (see wiki: "𝗥𝗶𝗶𝗸𝗮 𝗦𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗻"). Some of these female Finnish athletes can and have also transferred/alternated between sports (See wikipedia: "𝗦𝘂𝘀𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗮 𝗧𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗶", played on both of Finland's national women's teams in both hockey and ringette. 𝘽𝙤𝙩𝙝 𝙨𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙨 𝙪𝙨𝙚 𝙞𝙘𝙚 𝙝𝙤𝙘𝙠𝙚𝙮 𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙠𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙞𝙘𝙚 𝙝𝙤𝙘𝙠𝙚𝙮 𝙨𝙠𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙨). In addition, when it comes to North America, a number of Canadian women athletes have backgrounds in 𝗯𝗼𝘁𝗵 𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝗰𝗸𝗲𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲, while most American women athletes by comparison only have an ice hockey background. On top of that, it turns out the first Canadian 𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝘄𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻'𝘀 𝗯𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘆 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺 consisted almost entirely of elite amateur ringette players (𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗲𝗺𝗶-𝗽𝗿𝗼). Canada's 𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗺𝗲𝗻'𝘀 𝗯𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘆 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗵𝗼𝗰𝗸𝗲𝘆 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿𝘀. Meanwhile, both the USA 𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗺𝗲𝗻'𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻'𝘀 𝗯𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘆 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗺𝗮𝗱𝗲 𝘂𝗽 𝗼𝗳 𝗵𝗼𝗰𝗸𝗲𝘆 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿𝘀. In recent years, one of the coaches for Sweden's national ringette team was a well-medaled 𝘄𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻'𝘀 𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿 (not sure if they ever played ringette). Plus, the UK is sending a 𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗕𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝘄𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻'𝘀 𝗯𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘆 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺 to the Women's Bandy World Championships this year. Their head coach is a man who used to play 𝗺𝗲𝗻'𝘀 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗯𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹 𝗰𝗹𝘂𝗯𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗦𝘄𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗡𝗼𝗿𝘄𝗮𝘆. Since the British team's players who are UK born can ice skate but didn't grow up playing bandy, rinkball or ringette, 𝙜𝙪𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙬𝙝𝙞𝙘𝙝 𝙩𝙚𝙖𝙢 𝙨𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙘𝙖𝙢𝙚 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢? 𝗜𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗮𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗲 𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲𝘀, I can see why you wouldn't make the connection, since this dynamic style of winter team sports participation occurs more often among the female population. 𝗕𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗼𝗺 𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 is, with the possible exception of the Sweden coaches, 𝙞𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙩𝙤𝙥 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙣𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙡 𝙖𝙩𝙝𝙡𝙚𝙩𝙚𝙨 𝙝𝙖𝙙𝙣'𝙩 𝙙𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙡𝙤𝙥𝙚𝙙 𝙞𝙘𝙚 𝙨𝙠𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙨𝙠𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙨 𝙚𝙛𝙛𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙡𝙮, 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙘𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙣𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙖𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙙 𝙖𝙣𝙮 𝙧𝙚𝙡𝙚𝙫𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙨𝙛𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙚 𝙨𝙠𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝙖𝙣𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙞𝙘𝙚 𝙨𝙠𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙚𝙖𝙢 𝙨𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙩. 𝘽𝙪𝙩 𝙨𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙡 𝙖𝙡𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙙𝙮 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚. Some skills are transferable from one sport to another, while others not so much, but mastering ice skating skills is an unavoidable requirement if playing any of these winter team sports, transferring between them, or competing in more than one at the same time or at different points. 𝗔𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗲: 𝗠𝗘𝗡 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗪𝗢𝗠𝗘𝗡 There are 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗴𝘂𝗲𝘀 for men's bandy and men's ice hockey (paid pros), while women only play ice hockey professionally.

I know no one ASKED, no one wanted it, but you won't find it anywhere else, (except for maybe USA Hockey). No page for this exists on wiki either, so can't give source material. Someone may need it eventually, who knows. So here it is. This is about Misplaced Pages encyclopedia, it is not about which sports have the blessing of International Olympic Committee approval or which ones want it, that is not the criteria necessary for creating and developing articles about organized sport, it's merely one detail you can add to the article itself if it exists.
