Hello. I have 2 questions:
SteelerFan1933 ( talk) 19:20, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
Much of the writing about sweeping is now out of date. Sweeping can be done to make the rock curl farther, straighter, or curl more. If you watch a professional game you will often see only one sweeper sweeping (and who is sweeping might change part way down the ice). This is done if the weight is fine, but they want to affect the direction (as this is determined by what side of the rock's direction of curl the sweeping is coming from). 2604:3D09:C7F:95C3:9064:1C69:348F:2C08 ( talk) 06:33, 15 March 2022 (UTC)
I don't feel comfortable editing an article, but someone should double check the size of curling stones. The article says the maximum circumference of a stone is 11 inches which would make the diameter 3.5 inches. That's obviously wrong. 2600:1014:A005:2A4B:8C88:7CD1:6BFC:EA1E ( talk) 03:56, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
At time of posting the section on the stones themselves states the last quarrying operations on Ailsa Craig took place in 2013.
This now appears to be out of date based on this video where the YT channel owner visited the craig with Kays of Scotland as they were allowed to quarry 25,000 tons of Common Green. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lTjOoeR0iFY
I'm not finding many other sources from a cursory search (I also don't have a ton of time atm), so I don't feel comfortable just adding the info without additional sources, but it's probably something that needs looking into.
