Hello! Thanks for the message! I am primarily active still on the wagymnastics wiki which I might become an admin of shortly, so I was hoping to create a bridge between that wiki and this one so any missing information on either site can be taken from the other. What I like about wikipedia though is that it would be better suited to house both elite and college/NCAA gymnasts (while the wagymnastics fandom site isn't best suited to have both). Also, I was able to make one edit on wikipedia last night so I was excited about that! I added a competition history table for Olesya Dudnik. I am hoping to do that for other gymnast pages too since that is what's easiest for me, but there isn't any list here (that I know of) of pages that could use that, so if you know of any pages that need one, feel free to send them my way. And of course, feel free to take anything you see on the wagymnastics wiki and put it on here if you need! My goal is to get as much done as possible on both sites because gymnastics information likes to disappear randomly and we need it archived somewhere. Thanks for the welcome! :)

Gymnastics

You may want to familiarize yourself with notability guidelines for sports before you start creating pages. Most of the articles do not pass because of these guidelines. Also, I would really appreciate the help with fixing the stubs that are already here. If you've noticed, a lot of them say a gymnast competed in multiple events when they didn't make it past qualifications. I've been updating them when I can, but I would appreciate some help! If they qualified for an event final, I usually say they placed ___ in the ______ event. If they didn't move past qualifications, I just change it to say they competed at whichever Olympics. Here are the notability guidelines for your reference: https://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(sports)#Gymnastics Afheather (talk) 18:22, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

Hello! Thanks for the message :) I am currently focusing on adding competition history tables to gymnasts that need them (my userpage has a very long and unfinished list of all the gymnasts without them). If any of those gymnasts currently have stub pages, I will now shift my priority to those gymnasts to help out with your task! Please let me know if there are any gymnasts you would like me to be adding competition history tables to. Also on the notability guidelines, I will be requesting an expansion of the guidelines to include collegiate gymnasts.

Sounds good! I'm not good at creating tables, so it will be a great collaboration opportunity! :D We also need more good sources to flesh out these stubs. I'd love to see more gymnastics articles, just don't want to put a lot of effort into pages if they will wind up deleted since they aren't considered notable by Wikipedia guidelines.

I am not planning on creating pages anytime soon as I have made a task for myself that would take a LONG time haha. As of now though for tables I am just picking gymnasts at random, so feel free to send a message to me whenever you find a gymnast you would like me to make a table for! :)

Also, I just submitted my proposal so hopefully it can be accepted. I would not torture myself and start making college gym pages too if it's accepted, but I think it's good to get ahead of the game for that. It might also be good to take a note of gymnasts we as gym fans find notable that don't follow the guidelines so we can ask for some exceptions (as long as they have enough info to justify having a page).
