"Burning 200000 calories per hour while skating 6 miles per hour or 600 calories while skating 10 miles per hour."
That makes no sense. Is it supposed to be 200 Calories per hour? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.68.28.17 ( talk) 04:45, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
This was redirecting to inline skates, which is silly because inlines are only one subtype of roller skates. I changed it to point to roller skating for now, as that article is currently the most likely to give the searcher what he/she is looking for. Eventually we should do an article called Roller skates, or at least, a disambiguation page. For now I think this is workable, though. ManekiNeko | Talk 01:09, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
I redirected to quad skates...but perhaps quad should redirect to roller skate or quad skate (singular)?-- Hardballhock 05:02, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
The Definition of Roller Skates in this article is not so good and this seems unfortunately this definition lacks of documented references .

Thoughts on making this a redirect to rollerskating? It seems that this was a redirect before, and I don't think we need two separate pages for what would essentially say the same thing. Amphytrite 04:25, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Just saw the youtube video about the 1920s French version here and then saw these photos of modern ones in this image search (also called skate cycle). Plus it also has a youtube video. And a video on similar "Orbit wheel." Plus one version sold here. In case any fans of the sport want to do an article. CarolMooreDC 03:50, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: not moved. Clear consensus to prefer the pluralised form as the title. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 13:17, 19 December 2015 (UTC)
– The naming convention is clear on this subject ( WP:SINGULAR), plurals should only be used when the singular is never used (e.g. scissors, trousers or handcuffs); where it is essentially impossible to talk about a scissor or a trouser or a single handcuff. Yes, roller skates are usually referred to in the plural, however, it is perfectly fine to talk about a single skate (i.e. "My roller skate lost a wheel.") and often appropriate from an encyclopaedic POV (i.e. "The first roller skate was effectively an ice skate with wheels replacing the blade."<--an actual sentence from the lede of Roller skates). as for Inline skate, in the lede of that article, the first sentence is "Inline skates are a type of roller skate used for inline skating." I think it is clear that "roller skate" (singular) is often used to refer to this device (the lede of both articles prove this), and therefore as per WP:SINGULAR the correct form is the singular. the move of "Inline skates" to "Inline skate" follows logically from this.

Because it will almost certainly be brought up, yes I am aware of ( Wikipedia:Naming conventions (plurals)#Exceptions), however in this case there are only two exceptions allowed: Articles on groups or classes of specific things (which does not apply here), and Cases where the title only exists in the plural. (which I discuss above as also not applying here: indeed, the term roller skate is used in the lede of both articles, proving that this title DOES exist and is used regularly). see also: Ice skate and Figure skate for additional justification. InsertCleverPhraseHere InsertTalkHere 01:07, 10 November 2015 (UTC)
It seems that there is No Consensus. Perhaps we should close this discussion and I'll open up a new request soon to move all four articles (roller skates, inline skates, ice skate and figure slake) to the same naming convention. As I'm not sure how to go about doing this, as opposed to a single move, could the first person who sees this and has some expertise on the subject contact me on my talk page, I'll also contact a few people and ask for myself.

I think this article should have any picture of an inline skate, there are only about quad skates-- Antimundo ( talk) 09:33, 15 November 2015 (UTC)
Should we merge the article Quad skates? or just blank it and turn it into a redirect?
That article is nearly an orphan article, no citations, and is practically a stub. As this article has become the de-facto article for 'quad' roller skates, I would suggest that we squeeze anything useful out of the other article, then turn it into a redirect to this article.

A lot of people have trouble skating or doing things on their skates. Lots of people start skating but rely on other objects to help them stop such as poles, benches, trees, etc. Lots of people want to learn more about how to do things on their skates such as me. But when I look on Wikipedia there is nothing helpful on how to do anything.
I read articles and pages on different skates and everything but none of them tell me how to skate better. I look to wikipedia for help and hope to find some but it is a little hard to find any 'How-To' articles and/or pages about anything.
I hope someone can help me because I cannot create an article on something I know little about. Mseale0630 ( talk) 21:30, 24 July 2017 (UTC)
I am planning to remove sections that are about roller skating, the hobby or sport, rather than roller skates themselves. For example, information about the health benefits of skating does not belong in this article about skates in my opinion. Are there objections to this?
