I have enabled the article assessments table, so a manual list of articles is no longer necessary. I have also tagged a whole bunch of articles; in a few days the assessments table will be updated to include them. The Index, Statistics, and Log links above the table are helpful navigational aids. Although I tagged the articles, for most of them I did not assess Class nor Importance. Also, I have not tagged most articles about individual orienteers. -- Una Smith ( talk) 22:34, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi! I'd like to draw your attention to the new WikiProject coordinators' working group, an effort to bring both official and unofficial WikiProject coordinators together so that the projects can more easily develop consensus and collaborate. This group has been created after discussion regarding possible changes to the A-Class review system, and that may be one of the first things discussed by interested coordinators.
All designated project coordinators are invited to join this working group. If your project hasn't formally designated any editors as coordinators, but you are someone who regularly deals with coordination tasks in the project, please feel free to join as well. — Delievered by §hepBot ( Disable) on behalf of the WikiProject coordinators' working group at 06:13, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

As you may have heard, we at the Wikipedia 1.0 Editorial Team recently made some changes to the assessment scale, including the addition of a new level. The new description is available at WP:ASSESS.
Each WikiProject should already have a new C-Class category at Category:C-Class_articles. If your project elects not to use the new level, you can simply delete your WikiProject's C-Class category and clarify any amendments on your project's assessment/discussion pages. The bot is already finding and listing C-Class articles.
Please leave a message with us if you have any queries regarding the introduction of the revised scheme. This scheme should allow the team to start producing offline selections for your project and the wider community within the next year. Thanks for using the Wikipedia 1.0 scheme!

Hi! Why do you insert infobox template in some orieteers-page (e.g. Jana Cieslarová, Johanna_Allston, Jamie Stevenson, Kiril Nikolov and may be other). This template looks very bad.
Please, use MedalTable template like in Šárka Svobodná, Dana Brožková, Minna Kauppi, Valentin Novikov and in most of orieteers-articles.
Thanks for comprehension, Dnikitin ( talk) 14:44, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
My opinion. Date and place of birth do not belong in the orienteer infobox. In fact, I don't think they belong in the article at all, at least not for orienteers who are still alive. See Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons. -- Una Smith ( talk) 22:30, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
Is this a consensus and do you think we should all take steps to remove this Birth data or change it so it refers just to year of Birth? ARBAY ( talk) 10:41, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
I do not see a problem with using either template. I think that {{ Infobox Athlete}} is better if info like date of birth can be found at a reliable secondary source. I think {{ MedalTable}} should be used when that information is not available at a reliaable secondary source. Anonymous101 ( talk) 18:58, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

We need a navbox for orienteering concepts, styles, and formats, but the appropriate name {{Orienteering}} is occupied by a redirect to the navbox for this project! I propose changing all links to Template:Orienteering to links to Template:WikiProject Orienteering, then changing Template:Orienteering into a new navbox. -- Una Smith ( talk) 15:12, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
Anybody want to write article about Orienteering on the World Games? http://orienteering.org/i3/index.php?/iof2006/events/foot_orienteering/the_world_games
Something like World Orienteering Championships or Junior World Orienteering Championships -- included results, dates, host towns.

Proposing re-creation of a organization stub for orienteering, with corresponding category named 'Orienteering organization stubs'. Currently there are total of 14 clubs and 36 nation organizations. That means a total of 50 orienteering organizations. I estimate that about 25 of these meats the criteria for a stub. Any objections for a re-creation of the stub? -- Kslotte ( talk) 11:05, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
Hi - commenting as a stub-sorter from WP:WikiProject Stub sorting here - Una and Kslotte, please don't not remove multiple templates! Multiple stubs are actually preferred to single ones where appropriate. Up to four are allowed, and removing secondary templates makes it far harder for editors to find articles on their specialist subjects, since a single assignment to just one stub category will often remove the stub from view for editors who would be able to improve the article from another perspective. As someone who deals a lot with stub sorters and stub-related editors, I'd like to see some sort of evidence that multiple stubs "certainly annoy readers", too - the general opinions expressed to WP:WSS are that readers don't tend to mind too much one way or the other, but they are greatly appreciated by editors - as long as there aren't a huge number of them (hence the limit of four).
FWIW, my comments at the proposal are that a template would be fine but hat a category's not really appropriate given the number of stubs. If you can find 21 more, then I'd have no objection to a category (note - this is just my personal view, debate is still in progress). One final noter, on the comment about "taking being bold too seriously", please remember that that relates to articles primarily, but more caution is needed with templates and categories (see WP:BOLD). Grutness... wha? 00:58, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
Done Results -- Kslotte ( talk) 19:14, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
The orienteering-related biographies are mixed with different disciplines. There could be a parallel categorizing based on discipline. Currently the total amount of orienteers are 507.
I am proposing that current Orienteers category will be renamed to 'Orienteers by country'. The new parallel category will be named 'Orienteers by discipline' and having sub-categories like 'Foot orienteers', 'Ski orienteers', 'Mountainbike orienteers', 'Fell runners' and 'Radio orienteers'.
Additionally I propose creation of a category 'Orienteering innovators' for the four names found directly in the root of the Orienteers category.
