Need for sources

I have a problem with this statement: "Another problem is that the new system excessively constrains the content of skaters' programs and reduces creativity." An example, quote, source, or explanation would be nice. This is far from neutral and remains pure opinion as it is. --MuskMelon 21:32, 7 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that much of the article lacks sources. --Fang Aili ^talk 03:13, 8 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Also needs some history info (COP was initially developed by the Canadians). Looking for sources...—Pelladon 23:16, 13 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

DYK?

Would one of you like to write something up for DYK? I'm going out of town for most of the weekend. --Fang Aili ^talk 03:13, 8 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Plushenko-protocol.jpg

Image:Plushenko-protocol.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

changes to code of points?

there shoudl be a section on the changes made to COP and its evolution. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 136.142.117.145 (talk) 19:27, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Unclear sentence on GOE

This sentence is unclear: The GOE value from the nine judges is then averaged by randomly selecting seven judges, discarding the high and low value, and averaging the remaining seven.

If seven out of nine judges are chosen at random, and the highest and lowest figures are discarded, then that only leaves only five judges' marks to be averaged, not seven as stated in the last word of the sentence.

Rule 353(c) of the 2012 ISU rules suggests that the random elimination isn't done for a nine-judge panel: "The panel's Grade of Execution (GOE) is determined by calculating the trimmed mean of the numerical values of the Grades of Execution awarded by the maximum of nine (9) Judges." ("trimmed mean" being the mean after excluding the highest and lowest values) --Achurch (talk) 10:08, 15 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Changes to Ice Dancing Scoring Post-2010

I don't know enough about the changes to the Ice Dancing scoring procedures as connected with the switch from Compulsory Dance + Original Dance + Free Dance to Short Dance + Free Dance to change the section about scoring in Ice Dance, but the change was made for the 2010-2011 season and the 2014 Olympics will be contested under this new system. People may start coming to this page to learn more about how Ice Dancing is actually judged and not get the right information. Can someone better informed about the technical level of skating judging update this? Metheglyn (talk) 02:34, 25 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
