It has been suggested that Segregated cycle facilities should be moved to Protected cycle facilities. Segregation is an unfortunate word in this context, though it has been used in much recent literature, and we should certainly keep Segregated cycle facilities as a redirect. Before undertaking any formal process, does anyone have strong feelings or good arguments one way or the other? Richard Keatinge ( talk) 09:02, 10 July 2015 (UTC)
The article about the cyclist Tom Simpson is currently a featured article candidate and needs support to get promoted. I've worked real hard on it and want it to be seen by as many people as possible. If you want to show your support (or opposition), please leave a comment here. Thanks.

In the edits between this diff I've attempted to tidy up the messy and disorganized Tour de France page. I've brought sections on key info - Classifications/Stages - up the page and removed a lot of the waffle about the Derfus Affair from the page. I've also culled material that was mainly trivia. It's still not ideal and there are some changes that might be reversible (I've put the 'organizers' bit into the general history, but this might warrant its own section).
The page is far from good still, but I hope that I've improved it. I'm a bit short on editing time in the next few days but if anyone wants to help expand the '1969-1988' (permanent return of trade teams to departure of Goddet) and '1989-Present' sections in the history then that would be great! -- Super Nintendo Chalmers ( talk) 16:23, 13 July 2015 (UTC)
On the 2015 national road cycling championships there was a bunch of additions made using a source that didn't go anywhere. I've removed them and placed the info on the talkpage. If anyone can help verify that these are correct (with sources, of course), please feel free to re-add them. Thanks. Lugnuts Dick Laurent is dead 09:10, 22 July 2015 (UTC)
Since the question was raised during the GA review for 2015 Tour de Suisse: Does the project consider cyclingquotes.com a reliable source? Zwerg Nase ( talk) 15:17, 3 July 2015 (UTC)
Find sources: Google ( books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL There has been some disruptive editing bordering on an edit war at Chris Froome relating to a red link to David Kinjah. Those removing claim there is no notability and those adding claiming he is notable. I think this would be the best venue for a discussion. I have no opinion on the matter but would appreciate outside eyes from the project. making others involved aware:@ XyZAn:@ Denisarona:@ 179.210.105.123:@ BaldBoris:
Looking at the news sources I find the following. He's organised racing events in kenya, is described by the IBTimes as a kenyan legend, was the first black African rider to sign for a European cycling team, He seems to have medalled in several events, CNN describes him as one of Kenya's premier cyclists. A naive reading of just the top half dozen results suggests to me this gentleman has some notability although I am not overly familiar with athlete notability guidelines.

Hi everybody. A new Lua programmed infobox has been developped on the French Wikipedia and use datas from Wikidata : Module:Infobox/Équipe cycliste. You can see examples on Équipe cycliste Wanty-Groupe Gobert, Équipe cycliste Movistar, Équipe cycliste Topsport Vlaanderen-Baloise... When all tests will be finish, and when it will become possible to add datas with units on Wikidata (for the budget), this infobox will be adapted for you.
On a second step, it will be possible to create tables on Wikipedia to list the cyclists of a team. I start to enter datas on Wikidata, and I hope I can realise firsts tests in a few weeks. Jérémy-Günther-Heinz Jähnick ( talk) 16:10, 25 July 2015 (UTC)
Hi all. I'm looking at this article, pondering perhaps taking it towards FL status. One curious aspect of the page is the "Team manager" for each team. These were added in this edit by an anonymous user. Some of them make sense, but lots don't, and I can't work out where the information came from. It seems to me that it ought to be the directeur sportif as listed on the TDF website. Before I go ahead and make that change, does anyone know better? Many thanks. (And yes, I'm back, ish!) Relentlessly ( talk) 17:26, 28 July 2015 (UTC)
Hi everybody. Today, I adapt the
Template:ProCyclingStats to Wikidata. It the property P1663 exists in an item of a cyclist, {{ProCyclingStats}}
is enough. It the property is not used, you can fit the template like you do usually, or add the property P1663 (ProCycligStats ID) in the item. On the French Wikipedia, I create this morning
ProCyclingStats and add a good documentation that somebody can translate better than I can do.

Hello WikiProject Cycling!
Based on the recommendation of XyZAn, I am happy to announce that WikiProject X has selected this project as part of a round of pilot testing.
The goal of WikiProject X is to improve the WikiProject experience through research, design, and experimentation. On that basis, we've prepared a new WikiProject design template based around modules. These modules include features you are already familiar with, such as article alerts, but also new features such as automated work lists, a feed of discussions taking place on the 18,078 talk pages tagged by WikiProject Cycling, and a new member profile system. To see what this new setup looks like, you can browse the first round of pilot tests: WikiProject Cannabis, WikiProject Evolutionary biology, WikiProject Ghana, WikiProject Hampshire, WikiProject Women's Health.
If there is consensus among the participants of this WikiProject, I will proceed with implementing this interface based on the current contents of Wikipedia:WikiProject Cycling. Please let me know if you have any questions or requests. Harej ( talk) 23:42, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
There are two articles on Wikinews which are on the way to get stale if not reviewed soon:
Background: Things went wrong on the talk page of that article:
No matter how hard i tried for a solution answers of one administrator went more and more personal. There is no one else in the community talking to me right now. And that is exactly what that administrator mentioned before in his contributions. Finally after days isolation he set the article on "stale".
Maybe some mediation could lead to publish these articles. Do you know anybody who is ready to help?-- Lib2know ( talk) 13:09, 8 September 2015 (UTC)
Can anyone ID the rider in this photo? It was originally uploaded as Raymond Poulidor, which it clearly isn't.

Bald Boris 14:30, 19 September 2015 (UTC)
After establishing the wikipages that notable WP:CYCLE, we also know the pages that are not by default notable. To reduce the numbers of red links of which most are not notable within the article, I created Template:noredlink. The link will only appear if it has a wikipage (of redirect), also when the page is created later. (It also works with disamb. links). See for instance 2015 UCI Road World Championships – Men's under-23 time trial#Final classification. If you agree I will start using the template on all junior and under-23 World Championships cyclists in the past. Sander.v.Ginkel ( Talk) 13:51, 26 September 2015 (UTC)
Hi all. I've been wondering recently about what classifies as a reliable source for Wikipedia cycling articles. Obviously major cycling publications like Cycling Weekly, Cyclingnews.com, VeloNews, etc., and mainstream newspapers (especially ones like L'Equipe, La Gazzetta dello Sport and Het Nieuwsblad that have very good coverage of cycling). I'm particularly interested in two things: the first of these is cyclingquotes.com, which has a mixed bag of content. I was told recently on Talk:2015 Vuelta a España, Stage 12 to Stage 21 that it's a translation of a Danish site. Does anyone have any more information or evidence regarding reliability? I've generally been careful to avoid it.
The other question is about podcasts. There are several good cycling podcasts that often have interesting content, such as quotes from riders and predictions for races. The major ones that I know of are the Telegraph cycling podcast and the CyclingNews podcast. My opinion is that these are probably reliable to use, using {{
cite podcast}}
, as they are supported by major publications and generally feature well-known journalists and riders. The other cycling podcast I follow and wonder about is The Recon Ride. This is not run by journalists. It is, however, promoted and supported by VeloNews, which gives it some credibility. I think it's probably on the borderline.
What do other people think?

Hi all, I have decided to become a little more active again, and have (re)-nominated the 1907 Tour de France article for GA. If you can improve this article (mostly to improve the prose I guess), feel free to do this before the review, to prevent a quick fail. Note that this is not a request to review this article; I even would prefer this article to be reviewed by somebody not in this Wikiproject, because I think that is better for the review process.

Today the UCI announced 18 confirmed 2016 UCI World Tour teams (WorldTeams or whatever). I thought I'd just open a discussion on what to to do with the Cannondale team. Their new name appears to be Cannondale Pro Cycling Team, the name of the former Liquigas team in 2014 that merged with Garmin–Sharp to make Cannondale–Garmin in 2015. So, you can see the problem...

Hi everybody (and an happy new year). I notify Relentlessly, Mattaidepikiw, BaldBoris and other users that are possibly interested. With Molarus, an user from Germany, we develop since one month a program that permits to use datas from Wikidata on our Wikipedias. The goal is to work together to avoid doing the same tasks in our langages and to be more productive. First tries were Cycling Archive, ProCyclingStats and CQ ranking that works perfectly on Fr Wiki and others.
We enter in an other phase. We are now able to make tables in articles.
{{Cycling race/listofstages|Q18574623}}
{{Cycling race/listofstages|Q21768432}}
{{Cycling race/listofstages|Q19917447}}
{{Cycling race/listofstages|Q19412884}}
{{Cycling race/listofstages|Q16027296}}
To call this function, you only have to write {{Cycling race/listofstages|Q16027296}}
, where Q........ is the number of the Wikidata item. Datas are generally entered by Anthony59999 or by me, according to ProCyclingStats. One unique user can update all Wikipedias that use this programm. Datas on Wikidata can be sourced. If there is an error, they can be deprecated.
This function is a first step, I already think to a similar function that will permit to give the palmares of a race (and it is interesting because by working together we save time), then it will be the classifications. On Fr Wiki, we have Wikidata infoboxes, but it is to difficult for me to adapt them at other Wikipedia because super modules are different (the same mistakes of the past...).
This programm is centralised on Wikidata. when it evolve, I update the copies on FR, NL, BR, IT, MK and now EN Wikipedias. The code to write is always the same. I will be happy if somebody is able to write in English a small documentation. I am here if you have questions. Note that I am French and I am not very good in English. Jérémy-Günther-Heinz Jähnick ( talk) 10:47, 1 January 2016 (UTC)
{{
official website}}
and {{
commons category}}
) and some infobox data (though not all data and not all infoboxes). I don't believe it is permitted to use data in this way. In particular, the style of providing links to Wikidata in the way you do doesn't exist elsewhere on this wiki and providing references will be an issue. I'll ask elsewhere as I am not sure whether or not this is accurate.In the confusing way in which cycling teams seem to run, I have yet another question (I do apologies haha!). For those that don't know Cult Energy Pro Cycling were set to gain a second sponsor in the form of the Stölting group, however in the end Cult had to pull out. Thus my question is: is the 2016 pro-continental team Stölting Service Group a continuation of the Cult Energy Pro Cycling team or does it represent a continuation of the Continental team Team Stölting? I hope I'm making this clear...how do we treat it on WP?
For refence PCS suggests this is option B above. Thanks, XyZAn ( talk) 13:20, 3 January 2016 (UTC)
There is a current requested page move on the An Post-Chain Reaction talk page, initiated by Dicklyon, regarding whether team names need to be hyphenated or en dashed. There is 'some' consensus on the consensus page. Is there any further rationale as to which punctuation should be used? If so, does this need reviewing and updating? Only looking back at team articles nearly all uses hyphens. Cheers, XyZAn ( talk) 14:01, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
One thing that seems clear: the section Wikipedia:WikiProject_Cycling/Consensus_decisions#Cycling_team_naming claims a consensus to use hyphens, but the discussion it links shows no such consensus. The section referencing a 2009 discussion was added in this 2010 edit by User:Severo. Since the linked discussion doesn't show such a consensus, I recently deleted that part. I will delete it again; if anyone thinks there was ever such a consensus, please show us. Dicklyon ( talk) 04:13, 29 December 2015 (UTC)
Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style#En_dashes:_other_uses description fits the en dash better than the hyphen case, for joining two distinct sponsor entities implying "and":
===== In compounds when the connection might otherwise be expressed with to, versus, and, or between =====
Here the relationship is thought of as parallel, symmetric, equal, oppositional, or at least involving separate or independent elements. The components may be nouns, adjectives, verbs, or any other independent part of speech. Often if the components are reversed there would be little change of meaning.
...
An en dash is used for the names of two or more people in an attributive compound.
- the Seifert–van Kampen theorem; the Alpher–Bethe–Gamow theory
- the Seeliger–Donker-Voet scheme (developed by Seeliger and Donker-Voet)
- Comet Hale–Bopp or just Hale–Bopp (discovered by Hale and Bopp)
A hyphen is used by default in compounded proper names of single entities.
- Guinea-Bissau; Bissau is the capital, and this distinguishes the country from neighboring Guinea
- Wilkes-Barre, a single city named after two people, but Minneapolis–Saint Paul, a union of two cities
- John Lennard-Jones, an individual named after two families
Dicklyon ( talk) 05:16, 29 December 2015 (UTC)
So after some discussion at MOS regarding the usage of dashes and hyphens I think we have the following as a ruleset - what do people think?
Team naming is a bit of a mess, isn't it? Working on this, I find these issues someone might want to check me on (or review my contribs for others):
I've been doing various copyedits along the way; there's a lot of superfluous capitalization in these articles. Dicklyon ( talk) 17:44, 2 January 2016 (UTC)
Yesterday User:Severo did a ton more dash moves. Many thanks.
Here's another issue: Most articles say status: UCI Continental, capitalized, which links to UCI Continental Circuits. I think the intended status link is UCI continental, lowercase, which redirects to List of 2015 UCI professional continental and continental teams which comes closer to explaining what that status means. Yes? Dicklyon ( talk) 00:29, 10 January 2016 (UTC)
I've just discovered Category:Cycling team data problems, but have no idea how to solve the "problems". Bald Boris 18:19, 25 September 2015 (UTC)
<span style="display:none">Error</span>
where the error was made. In this case, it was {{
ct|GRM|2012}}
, which should have been {{
ct|GRM|2012b}}
. The problem was that this article therefore referred to Team Cannondale-Garmin, whereas it ought to have been Garmin-Sharp. They are problems that need fixing.I don't remember exactly how it came about, but the above is correct. If an unused year parameter was used, it messed up the whole template which showed in the article. So we amended it to show something that didn't mess up the whole article but did log a problem somewhere. I don't remember the thought of how to identify exactly where the problem was although Relentlessly comes up with a very good method. I don't believe the answer to this problem is to add an extra parameter (the architecture of the template is already complicated enough) nor do I think that having a list of teams that changed name during the year is particularly workable (it will easily fall out of date). The teams that change name during the year should be noted in the article of the team itself and the date clear. I think what we do need here is a clearer way for logged-in users to identify where the problem is in the article to be able to fix it. Severo ( talk) 21:10, 21 November 2015 (UTC)
{{
cyclingteamlist}}
, it can be handled either as you say or by using team1={{UCI team code|GRS|2012b}}
, for example. It's a convenience thing; if it's not more convenient, don't use it!

I've come here to get some guidance on what should happen to articles where riders have results voided due to doping in the past. There is, of course, a very extensive talk archive, but I suggest that key info should be mentioned on the project page, so that editors who are keen to help can lend a hand without having to delve into those archives first. I've seen in a few articles that palmarès have a 'voided results' subsection. What I haven't seen so far, though, is succession boxes having been updated by removing those voided results. In some race article lists, voided results are struck out; is that what is supposed to happen? I'm asking because there are other results lists where this hasn't been done. Does a voided result mean that the second-placed person has won that particular race or title? If so, should that person get a succession box showing this? Do we include an explanation within the succession box that results for others were voided?
I guess there's a lot that ought to be defined, and it might well be worth having this all in one place. Happy to lend a hand, but somebody better tell me what needs doing. Schwede 66 09:05, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

For those that don't know the Tour Méditerranéen was cancelled in 2015. As such for the 2016 season there is scheduled to be a new race - La Méditerranéenne. My question is, does this race need to be set up on its own new page, or within the the original Tour Méditerranéen page. Cyclingnews suggests this new race is to replace the defunct Tour, but Procycling Stats lists this as the 42nd edition - presuming this is a continuation of one event. So again my question: do we use the existing page or create a new one? Cheers XyZAn ( talk) 14:57, 30 December 2015 (UTC)

In my attempts of trying to destroy the red links of Tour of Flanders editions, I made a technical mistake. I created the 1950 Tour of Flanders article under the wrong name, moved it immediately after, but now 1948 Tour of Flanders redirects automatically to 1950 and I can't seem to start the actual 1948 article.

While working on the Tour of Flanders separate editions articles, I noticed some major conflicts in sources. For nearly all editions of the Tour of Flanders from the 1920s until the 1940s, sources give different information on race length, average speed and time differences.
In the 1925 article, I provided the data from Vanwalleghem's work, because I noticed before it is extremely reliable (he had the right end with another conflict) and it uses sources from the official Tour of Flanders archives, but even he could have made mistakes. The official website does not provide much details either. I could go and look it up in the ToF archives, but it will be a while before I'm in Belgium. What is the best solution here?

When creating the cyclists who competed at the previous UCI Track Cycling World Championships, I noticed that some (or all) event pages (I mean pages like 2010 UCI Track Cycling World Championships – Men's keirin) are missing before 2010. With the csv files (Excel format) at Tissottiming.com it's relative easy to create wiki tables with the results, back to 2007. Tissot also have the results of the European Track Championships (event pages missing on WP after 2012) and the results of all UCI Track Cycling World Cups in csv format. I'm thinking of creating some of these page, but it would be great to create them all. But I can't do them all alone. So are there people around who are willing to help creating those pages (I think starting with the World Championships and later with the Europeans and if it goes easy also the World Cups). Maybe Lugnuts is willing to help with creating pages, and Kante4 / WildCherry06 with adding results into the pages? Sander.v.Ginkel ( Talk) 10:51, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
I was creating a new article recently, and when I placed the WP:CYC template in the talk page, I couldn't find any information on how we rate the importance of an article's subject. I noticed our assessment page listed the importance levels, but didn't provide any criteria for rating them, so I took a stab at cleaning up the page a bit. I added the {{ Importance scheme}} template, adapted to our use, and added cycling examples to both the Quality scale and Importance scale tables. It would be good to have some of you take a look at it for feedback and concurrence.
While working on the page, I noticed some unusual trends.
There are many pages with cycle races of which never a sub-page will be created about events of a single year (like 1922 Six Days of Ghent). So for that reason Six Days of Ghent should have the categories Category:1922 in track cycling and Category:1922 in Belgian sport etc. up to 2015. As you can imagine it would be a lot (looking chaotic) adding all those categories to these kind of pages. Would it be a good idea to create redirect pages, for instance a page titled Six Days of Ghent race redirecting to Six Days of Ghent and adding all these categories to this redirect. Sander.v.Ginkel ( Talk) 17:46, 10 March 2016 (UTC)
The article on Six Day London is about the 2015 event and should probably be renamed "2015 Six Day London" or "2015 Six Days of London" – not sure what the official name is. The problem seems to be that there is no article about the Six Days of London.
So I want to make a point of order about six-day racing. Six days are such an inherent part of cycling and especially cycling history, but coverage on the English pages is still embryonic. Which surprised me, since track championships are covered quite complete. So if anyone is willing to join in ... there have been 104 six-day events, of which nine current ones with often long histories, but only three of them have articles. I already started the article on the Six Days of New York and I have some sources on the other North and South American six days, but unfortunately track cycling is not really my alley. Any help would be wonderful. British and Ozzie track fanatics, I'm looking in your direction here (!) Dr.robin ( talk) 22:15, 10 March 2016 (UTC)
When adding the results to a race, it can takes some time. If you copy the resluts from the UCI website ( [3]) in to this excel sheet download here, you don't have to fill in anything.

I see some discussion of this in the archives, but what is the current consensus on what to include in a rider's palmarès? Since Jonathan Tiernan-Locke has returned from his ban, editors have been adding all his race results to his palmarès. This looks rather odd because wins in races such as the Modbury Spring Road Race wouldn't have been included earlier in his career, and so we go from major international races in 2012 to British 2nd-category amateur races in 2016.

Whilst randomly browsing I cam across this page: 2016 in sports. I just wondered what the point of the cycling information, held there, is? Only there's a tonne of entries to junior races and US criteriums, all in a horrible format with no links. Would any of this information, if notable, be better suited elsewhere - leaving just a number of links to the appropriate pages. I.e. "for UCI World Tour evens, see 2016 UCI World Tour etc. It just seems like an odd collection of information. XyZAn ( talk) 11:23, 2 May 2016 (UTC)

Has there ever been any discussion on what evens are notable enough to into this part of the infobox? I've just seen the following edit made by Parklands cobbler on Bob Jungels and just wondered if we has a rule set; i.e, only .WT, .HC, national/continental/world/olympic events? If there has been could someone kindly point me to it - thanks XyZAn ( talk) 14:12, 23 April 2016 (UTC)
XyZAn I get your point regarding some .1 races, maybe a minimum limit on world tour teams? say 5?. Lots of early season races like Algave have plenty and are much more 'major' than say the Tour of Korea because of this. Also possibly could be based on history of past winners, although that is down to interpretation rather than facts such as world tour team. Hope that makes sense. Parklands_cobbler ( talk) 22:30, 4 May 2016
So I've made some edits to the major wins section of the Marianne Vos article where I seperated cat1 and CN events because I thought it would be clearer/easier to read but XyZAn has informed me these changes are non-standard. So before I do any more editing I would like to know if a consensus exists or what people's idea's are wrp to the best way information should be presented in the infobox.

Hi all, User:Jérémy-Günther-Heinz Jähnick has added some team rosters to articles (such as [4]) reliant on Wikidata.

{{

has a link saying "edit on Wikidata", which I think is a better solution (certainly on this Wikipedia) than the icon, which is in my view bad for several reasons but especially because of accessibility. You'd simply edit the "top" template to put a link in. The date code simply uses {{
birth date and age}}
, long-established code on Wikipedia. (Another of my concerns about the module as it stands is that it is duplicating lots of existing code.) I still need to work out how to do the nationality: some of those riders are not Italian!

The use of Wikidata is somewhat uneasy on me. First of all, I seem to remember way back that on a GAR (for which one I cannot remember), the flagathlete was the preferred method for showing nationalities in a roster box and such like, rather than just a flagicon – for instance, the flags for the Netherlands and Luxembourg are relative similar (of course the Luxembourgish flag has a lighter blue), but for a potential non-cycling fan to stumble on a flag fest with no nationality description, it may be something to look at. Thinking outside the box, apologies. Secondly, as detailed on the Wanty–Groupe Gobert page at present, the Antoine Demoitié situation, the note in that context is not great. It elongates the roster, when it could be incorporated with a footnote; but that style for the roster box would be applicable for say, season pages, but for the team page, it should be a live editable roster – it should be current, and not be consigned to coding on Wikidata, which may delay the information getting to the page especially if that user does not how to work Wikidata. Therefore, Demoitié would be removed from the roster on the team page, but on the team's season page (if, and when it gets created), a note would be created. Akin to Weylandt in 2011 Leopard Trek season. Thirdly and finally, the 2016 Tour de Suisse just has logos and no descriptor until you hover over the links; no guaranteeing that a screen reader would pick that one up, if blind users were to try and edit the page. It's good to see Wikidata being developed, but there are some major concerns to being implemented across all WP:CYCLING articles. My 2¢. Craig (talk) 20:05, 27 March 2016 (UTC)
Furthermore, what significance does a rider's previous team have in relative terms to the team's actual roster for the year in question. As I said previously, they might be alright on the season pages, but not the team's article. Wikidata is still in its infancy - but there's still plenty of work to be done before I would feel comfortable in distributing over all of the WikiProject's articles. Especially with certain articles, Lokosphinx for instance, showing today's date for dates of birth. Craig (talk) 18:28, 29 May 2016 (UTC)
Just a quick comment, when we're adding the 2016 rosters to team pages can we either delete the old seasons roster(s) or if we have a number of them move them to a page like List of team rosters of Team ABC by season (or something to that effect - other ideas are welcome)? Only some team articles have just got rosters upon rosters.. XyZAn ( talk) 10:14, 27 March 2016 (UTC)

I'm wondering how we deal with the new UCI World Ranking for riders who've done well in it? At the moment, the classification seems to have had very little attention, although that is in part because as a 12 month rolling thing it's still not quite fully formed. On that front, I suggest that we probably don't want to over-emphasise it (tennis players have their world ranking in their Infobox - I think we're far from there for cyclists!). However, perhaps being World #1 deserves to be listed in a rider's palmares or major achievements? At the very least I can see being year end #1 as important, but as this is intended to be rolling then there will be some prestige in ever reaching #1? My suggestion is probably to go with listing reaching #1 in a Palmares, and having year end #1 as a 'Major Achivement', but does anyone have any other thoughts? -- Super Nintendo Chalmers ( talk) 08:19, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Over the past few months a number of users ( Zarvonov, Parklands cobbler ...) have been changing the heading of a riders results section to "Palmarès" as if there is a consensus. This really needs to be sorted once and for all. I know the biography guide advises the use of "Palmarès", but this is very outdated. I expect most people from this project would choose "Palmarès" because they expect to see it. The thing is this is a shared site with standards and consistency that should be followed. I think the most obvious point against the use of "Palmarès" is that it's a French word used on a site used on an English site. I'm sure if you took a biography to WP:FAC Palmarès would be rejected. I don't really have a preference, just want consistency. Other alternatives have been: "Major results" (most common), "Major wins", "Major achievements", "Career achievements", "Career highlights", "Notable results", "Major victories", "Results"... Where should I seek advise on this issue? Bald Boris 20:13, 5 September 2016 (UTC)
One thing I forgot to mention is that there can subsections that don't cover the meaning of "Palmarès" and "Major results". For example on
Bradley Wiggins there's "World records" and "Awards and honours". For Wiggins I previously used ==Career achievements==
→ ===Major results===
, ==GT timlime===
, ===World records===
.... I think that's the best option for that case as there's
List of career achievements by Eddy Merckx and
List of career achievements by Mark Cavendish in
Category:Career achievements of sportspeople. But does the subsection "Grand Tour general classification results timeline" (or variations), which are on a large amount articles, cover the meaning either?

I think a clear consenus has been reached and I have added it to

In the edits between this diff I've attempted to tidy up the messy and disorganized Tour de France page. I've brought sections on key info - Classifications/Stages - up the page and removed a lot of the waffle about the Derfus Affair from the page. I've also culled material that was mainly trivia. It's still not ideal and there are some changes that might be reversible (I've put the 'organizers' bit into the general history, but this might warrant its own section).
The page is far from good still, but I hope that I've improved it.

Hello WikiProject Cycling!
Based on the recommendation of XyZAn, I am happy to announce that WikiProject X has selected this project as part of a round of pilot testing.
The goal of WikiProject X is to improve the WikiProject experience through research, design, and experimentation. On that basis, we've prepared a new WikiProject design template based around modules. These modules include features you are already familiar with, such as article alerts, but also new features such as automated work lists, a feed of discussions taking place on the 18,078 talk pages tagged by WikiProject Cycling, and a new member profile system. To see what this new setup looks like, you can browse the first round of pilot tests: WikiProject Cannabis, WikiProject Evolutionary biology, WikiProject Ghana, WikiProject Hampshire, WikiProject Women's Health.
If there is consensus among the participants of this WikiProject, I will proceed with implementing this interface based on the current contents of Wikipedia:WikiProject Cycling. Please let me know if you have any questions or requests. Harej ( talk) 23:42, 1 September 2015 (UTC)

Hi all. I've been wondering recently about what classifies as a reliable source for Wikipedia cycling articles. Obviously major cycling publications like Cycling Weekly, Cyclingnews.com, VeloNews, etc., and mainstream newspapers (especially ones like L'Equipe, La Gazzetta dello Sport and Het Nieuwsblad that have very good coverage of cycling). I'm particularly interested in two things: the first of these is cyclingquotes.com, which has a mixed bag of content. I was told recently on Talk:2015 Vuelta a España, Stage 12 to Stage 21 that it's a translation of a Danish site. Does anyone have any more information or evidence regarding reliability? I've generally been careful to avoid it.
The other question is about podcasts. There are several good cycling podcasts that often have interesting content, such as quotes from riders and predictions for races. The major ones that I know of are the Telegraph cycling podcast and the CyclingNews podcast. My opinion is that these are probably reliable to use, using {{
cite podcast}}
, as they are supported by major publications and generally feature well-known journalists and riders. The other cycling podcast I follow and wonder about is The Recon Ride. This is not run by journalists. It is, however, promoted and supported by VeloNews, which gives it some credibility. I think it's probably on the borderline.
What do other people think?

Hi everybody (and an happy new year). I notify Relentlessly, Mattaidepikiw, BaldBoris and other users that are possibly interested. With Molarus, an user from Germany, we develop since one month a program that permits to use datas from Wikidata on our Wikipedias. The goal is to work together to avoid doing the same tasks in our langages and to be more productive. First tries were Cycling Archive, ProCyclingStats and CQ ranking that works perfectly on Fr Wiki and others.
We enter in an other phase. We are now able to make tables in articles.
{{Cycling race/listofstages|Q18574623}}
{{Cycling race/listofstages|Q21768432}}
{{Cycling race/listofstages|Q19917447}}
{{Cycling race/listofstages|Q19412884}}
{{Cycling race/listofstages|Q16027296}}
To call this function, you only have to write {{Cycling race/listofstages|Q16027296}}
, where Q........ is the number of the Wikidata item. Datas are generally entered by Anthony59999 or by me, according to ProCyclingStats. One unique user can update all Wikipedias that use this programm. Datas on Wikidata can be sourced. If there is an error, they can be deprecated.
This function is a first step, I already think to a similar function that will permit to give the palmares of a race (and it is interesting because by working together we save time), then it will be the classifications. On Fr Wiki, we have Wikidata infoboxes, but it is to difficult for me to adapt them at other Wikipedia because super modules are different (the same mistakes of the past...).
This programm is centralised on Wikidata. when it evolve, I update the copies on FR, NL, BR, IT, MK and now EN Wikipedias. The code to write is always the same. I will be happy if somebody is able to write in English a small documentation. I am here if you have questions. Note that I am French and I am not very good in English.

) and some infobox data (though not all data and not all infoboxes). I don't believe it is permitted to use data in this way. In particular, the style of providing links to Wikidata in the way you do doesn't exist elsewhere on this wiki and providing references will be an issue. I'll ask elsewhere as I am not sure whether or not this is accurate.In the confusing way in which cycling teams seem to run, I have yet another question (I do apologies haha!). For those that don't know Cult Energy Pro Cycling were set to gain a second sponsor in the form of the Stölting group, however in the end Cult had to pull out. Thus my question is: is the 2016 pro-continental team Stölting Service Group a continuation of the Cult Energy Pro Cycling team or does it represent a continuation of the Continental team Team Stölting? I hope I'm making this clear...how do we treat it on WP?
For refence PCS suggests this is option B above. Thanks, XyZAn ( talk) 13:20, 3 January 2016 (UTC)
There is a current requested page move on the An Post-Chain Reaction talk page, initiated by Dicklyon, regarding whether team names need to be hyphenated or en dashed. There is 'some' consensus on the consensus page. Is there any further rationale as to which punctuation should be used? If so, does this need reviewing and updating? Only looking back at team articles nearly all uses hyphens. Cheers, XyZAn ( talk) 14:01, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
One thing that seems clear: the section Wikipedia:WikiProject_Cycling/Consensus_decisions#Cycling_team_naming claims a consensus to use hyphens, but the discussion it links shows no such consensus. The section referencing a 2009 discussion was added in this 2010 edit by User:Severo. Since the linked discussion doesn't show such a consensus, I recently deleted that part. I will delete it again; if anyone thinks there was ever such a consensus, please show us. Dicklyon ( talk) 04:13, 29 December 2015 (UTC)
Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style#En_dashes:_other_uses description fits the en dash better than the hyphen case, for joining two distinct sponsor entities implying "and":
===== In compounds when the connection might otherwise be expressed with to, versus, and, or between =====
Here the relationship is thought of as parallel, symmetric, equal, oppositional, or at least involving separate or independent elements. The components may be nouns, adjectives, verbs, or any other independent part of speech. Often if the components are reversed there would be little change of meaning.
...
An en dash is used for the names of two or more people in an attributive compound.
- the Seifert–van Kampen theorem; the Alpher–Bethe–Gamow theory
- the Seeliger–Donker-Voet scheme (developed by Seeliger and Donker-Voet)
- Comet Hale–Bopp or just Hale–Bopp (discovered by Hale and Bopp)
A hyphen is used by default in compounded proper names of single entities.
- Guinea-Bissau; Bissau is the capital, and this distinguishes the country from neighboring Guinea

So after some discussion at MOS regarding the usage of dashes and hyphens I think we have the following as a ruleset - what do people think?
Team naming is a bit of a mess, isn't it? Working on this, I find these issues someone might want to check me on (or review my contribs for others):
I've been doing various copyedits along the way; there's a lot of superfluous capitalization in these articles. Dicklyon ( talk) 17:44, 2 January 2016 (UTC)
Yesterday User:Severo did a ton more dash moves. Many thanks.
Here's another issue: Most articles say status: UCI Continental, capitalized, which links to UCI Continental Circuits. I think the intended status link is UCI continental, lowercase, which redirects to List of 2015 UCI professional continental and continental teams which comes closer to explaining what that status means. Yes? Dicklyon ( talk) 00:29, 10 January 2016 (UTC)

where the error was made. In this case, it was {{
ct|GRM|2012}}
, which should have been {{
ct|GRM|2012b}}
. The problem was that this article therefore referred to Team Cannondale-Garmin, whereas it ought to have been Garmin-Sharp. They are problems that need fixing.I don't remember exactly how it came about, but the above is correct. If an unused year parameter was used, it messed up the whole template which showed in the article. So we amended it to show something that didn't mess up the whole article but did log a problem somewhere. I don't remember the thought of how to identify exactly where the problem was although Relentlessly comes up with a very good method. I don't believe the answer to this problem is to add an extra parameter (the architecture of the template is already complicated enough) nor do I think that having a list of teams that changed name during the year is particularly workable (it will easily fall out of date). The teams that change name during the year should be noted in the article of the team itself and the date clear. I think what we do need here is a clearer way for logged-in users to identify where the problem is in the article to be able to fix it. Severo ( talk) 21:10, 21 November 2015 (UTC)

I've come here to get some guidance on what should happen to articles where riders have results voided due to doping in the past. There is, of course, a very extensive talk archive, but I suggest that key info should be mentioned on the project page, so that editors who are keen to help can lend a hand without having to delve into those archives first. I've seen in a few articles that palmarès have a 'voided results' subsection. What I haven't seen so far, though, is succession boxes having been updated by removing those voided results. In some race article lists, voided results are struck out; is that what is supposed to happen? I'm asking because there are other results lists where this hasn't been done. Does a voided result mean that the second-placed person has won that particular race or title? If so, should that person get a succession box showing this? Do we include an explanation within the succession box that results for others were voided?
I guess there's a lot that ought to be defined, and it might well be worth having this all in one place. Happy to lend a hand, but somebody better tell me what needs doing. Schwede 66 09:05, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

For those that don't know the Tour Méditerranéen was cancelled in 2015. As such for the 2016 season there is scheduled to be a new race - La Méditerranéenne. My question is, does this race need to be set up on its own new page, or within the the original Tour Méditerranéen page. Cyclingnews suggests this new race is to replace the defunct Tour, but Procycling Stats lists this as the 42nd edition - presuming this is a continuation of one event. So again my question: do we use the existing page or create a new one? Cheers XyZAn ( talk) 14:57, 30 December 2015 (UTC)

In my attempts of trying to destroy the red links of Tour of Flanders editions, I made a technical mistake.

While working on the Tour of Flanders separate editions articles, I noticed some major conflicts in sources. For nearly all editions of the Tour of Flanders from the 1920s until the 1940s, sources give different information on race length, average speed and time differences.
In the 1925 article, I provided the data from Vanwalleghem's work, because I noticed before it is extremely reliable (he had the right end with another conflict) and it uses sources from the official Tour of Flanders archives, but even he could have made mistakes. The official website does not provide much details either. I could go and look it up in the ToF archives, but it will be a while before I'm in Belgium. What is the best solution here?

When creating the cyclists who competed at the previous UCI Track Cycling World Championships, I noticed that some (or all) event pages (I mean pages like 2010 UCI Track Cycling World Championships – Men's keirin) are missing before 2010. With the csv files (Excel format) at Tissottiming.com it's relative easy to create wiki tables with the results, back to 2007. Tissot also have the results of the European Track Championships (event pages missing on WP after 2012) and the results of all UCI Track Cycling World Cups in csv format. I'm thinking of creating some of these page, but it would be great to create them all. But I can't do them all alone. So are there people around who are willing to help creating those pages (I think starting with the World Championships and later with the Europeans and if it goes easy also the World Cups). Maybe Lugnuts is willing to help with creating pages, and Kante4 / WildCherry06 with adding results into the pages? Sander.v.Ginkel ( Talk) 10:51, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
I was creating a new article recently, and when I placed the WP:CYC template in the talk page, I couldn't find any information on how we rate the importance of an article's subject. I noticed our assessment page listed the importance levels, but didn't provide any criteria for rating them, so I took a stab at cleaning up the page a bit. I added the {{ Importance scheme}} template, adapted to our use, and added cycling examples to both the Quality scale and Importance scale tables. It would be good to have some of you take a look at it for feedback and concurrence.
While working on the page, I noticed some unusual trends.
There are many pages with cycle races of which never a sub-page will be created about events of a single year (like 1922 Six Days of Ghent). So for that reason Six Days of Ghent should have the categories Category:1922 in track cycling and Category:1922 in Belgian sport etc. up to 2015. As you can imagine it would be a lot (looking chaotic) adding all those categories to these kind of pages. Would it be a good idea to create redirect pages, for instance a page titled Six Days of Ghent race redirecting to Six Days of Ghent and adding all these categories to this redirect. Sander.v.Ginkel ( Talk) 17:46, 10 March 2016 (UTC)
The article on Six Day London is about the 2015 event and should probably be renamed "2015 Six Day London" or "2015 Six Days of London" – not sure what the official name is. The problem seems to be that there is no article about the Six Days of London.
So I want to make a point of order about six-day racing. Six days are such an inherent part of cycling and especially cycling history, but coverage on the English pages is still embryonic. Which surprised me, since track championships are covered quite complete. So if anyone is willing to join in ... there have been 104 six-day events, of which nine current ones with often long histories, but only three of them have articles. I already started the article on the Six Days of New York and I have some sources on the other North and South American six days, but unfortunately track cycling is not really my alley. Any help would be wonderful. British and Ozzie track fanatics, I'm looking in your direction here (!) Dr.robin ( talk) 22:15, 10 March 2016 (UTC)

I see some discussion of this in the archives, but what is the current consensus on what to include in a rider's palmarès? Since Jonathan Tiernan-Locke has returned from his ban, editors have been adding all his race results to his palmarès. This looks rather odd because wins in races such as the Modbury Spring Road Race wouldn't have been included earlier in his career, and so we go from major international races in 2012 to British 2nd-category amateur races in 2016.

Whilst randomly browsing I cam across this page: 2016 in sports. I just wondered what the point of the cycling information, held there, is? Only there's a tonne of entries to junior races and US criteriums, all in a horrible format with no links.

Has there ever been any discussion on what evens are notable enough to into this part of the infobox?

XyZAn I get your point regarding some .1 races, maybe a minimum limit on world tour teams? say 5?. Lots of early season races like Algave have plenty and are much more 'major' than say the Tour of Korea because of this. Also possibly could be based on history of past winners, although that is down to interpretation rather than facts such as world tour team. Hope that makes sense.

{{

has a link saying "edit on Wikidata", which I think is a better solution (certainly on this Wikipedia) than the icon, which is in my view bad for several reasons but especially because of accessibility. You'd simply edit the "top" template to put a link in. The date code simply uses {{
birth date and age}}
, long-established code on Wikipedia. (Another of my concerns about the module as it stands is that it is duplicating lots of existing code.) I still need to work out how to do the nationality: some of those riders are not Italian!
Relentlessly (

18:17, 23 March 2016 (UTC)
The use of Wikidata is somewhat uneasy on me. First of all, I seem to remember way back that on a GAR (for which one I cannot remember), the flagathlete was the preferred method for showing nationalities in a roster box and such like, rather than just a flagicon – for instance, the flags for the Netherlands and Luxembourg are relative similar (of course the Luxembourgish flag has a lighter blue), but for a potential non-cycling fan to stumble on a flag fest with no nationality description, it may be something to look at. Thinking outside the box, apologies. Secondly, as detailed on the Wanty–Groupe Gobert page at present, the Antoine Demoitié situation, the note in that context is not great. It elongates the roster, when it could be incorporated with a footnote; but that style for the roster box would be applicable for say, season pages, but for the team page, it should be a live editable roster – it should be current, and not be consigned to coding on Wikidata, which may delay the information getting to the page especially if that user does not how to work Wikidata. Therefore, Demoitié would be removed from the roster on the team page, but on the team's season page (if, and when it gets created), a note would be created. Akin to Weylandt in 2011 Leopard Trek season. Thirdly and finally, the 2016 Tour de Suisse just has logos and no descriptor until you hover over the links; no guaranteeing that a screen reader would pick that one up, if blind users were to try and edit the page. It's good to see Wikidata being developed, but there are some major concerns to being implemented across all WP:CYCLING articles. My 2¢. Craig (talk) 20:05, 27 March 2016 (UTC)
Furthermore, what significance does a rider's previous team have in relative terms to the team's actual roster for the year in question. As I said previously, they might be alright on the season pages, but not the team's article. Wikidata is still in its infancy - but there's still plenty of work to be done before I would feel comfortable in distributing over all of the WikiProject's articles. Especially with certain articles, Lokosphinx for instance, showing today's date for dates of birth. Craig (talk) 18:28, 29 May 2016 (UTC)
Just a quick comment, when we're adding the 2016 rosters to team pages can we either delete the old seasons roster(s) or if we have a number of them move them to a page like List of team rosters of Team ABC by season (or something to that effect - other ideas are welcome)?

I'm wondering how we deal with the new UCI World Ranking for riders who've done well in it? At the moment, the classification seems to have had very little attention, although that is in part because as a 12 month rolling thing it's still not quite fully formed. On that front, I suggest that we probably don't want to over-emphasise it (tennis players have their world ranking in their Infobox - I think we're far from there for cyclists!). However, perhaps being World #1 deserves to be listed in a rider's palmares or major achievements? At the very least I can see being year end #1 as important, but as this is intended to be rolling then there will be some prestige in ever reaching #1? My suggestion is probably to go with listing reaching #1 in a Palmares, and having year end #1 as a 'Major Achivement', but does anyone have any other thoughts? -- Super Nintendo Chalmers ( talk) 08:19, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

Over the past few months a number of users ( Zarvonov, Parklands cobbler ...) have been changing the heading of a riders results section to "Palmarès" as if there is a consensus. This really needs to be sorted once and for all. I know the biography guide advises the use of "Palmarès", but this is very outdated. I expect most people from this project would choose "Palmarès" because they expect to see it. The thing is this is a shared site with standards and consistency that should be followed. I think the most obvious point against the use of "Palmarès" is that it's a French word used on a site used on an English site. I'm sure if you took a biography to WP:FAC Palmarès would be rejected. I don't really have a preference, just want consistency. Other alternatives have been: "Major results" (most common), "Major wins", "Major achievements", "Career achievements", "Career highlights", "Notable results", "Major victories", "Results"... Where should I seek advise on this issue? Bald Boris 20:13, 5 September 2016 (UTC)
One thing I forgot to mention is that there can subsections that don't cover the meaning of "Palmarès" and "Major results". For example on
Bradley Wiggins there's "World records" and "Awards and honours". For Wiggins I previously used ==Career achievements==
→ ===Major results===
, ==GT timlime===
, ===World records===
.... I think that's the best option for that case as there's
List of career achievements by Eddy Merckx and
List of career achievements by Mark Cavendish in
Category:Career achievements of sportspeople. But does the subsection "Grand Tour general classification results timeline" (or variations), which are on a large amount articles, cover the meaning either?
