Cleanup :
* Sport governing body (this should-be-major article is in a shameful state)
* Field hockey (History section needs sources and accurate information - very vague at the moment.)
* Standardize Category:American college sports infobox templates to use same font size and spacing.
* Sport in the United Kingdom - the Popularity section is incorrect and unsourced. Reliable data is required.
* Fix project template and/or "to do list" Current version causes tables of content to be hidden unless/until reader chooses "show."
Expand : Professional sports (crucial article explaining the salaried undertaking of sports)
* Sport industry (currently a sub-stub)
Photo : for pages listed in Category:Wikipedia requested images of sports and games and sub-categories.
Stubs : work on articles in Category:Sports stubs

Hello and greetings from the German hockey community. As I have just reworked the German arcticle on drag-flicking [1] and that contains a link to this lemma, I wonder if this article should also reworked. In my mind the following points should be thought about:

Are there other sports that use this technique (I guess not, but in German Schlenzen is also used with soccer)?
IMO drag-flicks were not invented in the 90s - they were formerly known in indoor hockey (sure of that, I play indoor since 1981) and have been adopted for field hockey.
The text focuses too much on penalty corners, that is only one useage.

I'd appreciate if a native speaker could take a look at that. If not, I'd try to translate the German article. Regards, --Sunshinemind 10:42, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think there's really an equivalent in other sports. It would make a certain amount of sense for it to ahve come out of indoor, since the hit is not allowed, but it was certainly the 90s when it began to become prominnet in the outdoor game. Possibly there is too much on PCs, but that is the major usage, and certainly in English there is seen to be a distinction (in technique, speed obtained etc) between a simple flick, and a drag-flick, and a scoop is arguably something else again. Certianly if you've come across any references whilst writing the German article, that would be useful, most of the hockey articles here are in a shocking state on that front. Perhaps it would be an idea to make a translation in your userspace first, and leave a link to it here, so that it can be easily compared to the current article.

Sounds good to me. I'll work on that end next week and put a notice in here when I'm done in my userspace. You are right with the discrimination between flick and drag-flick - in Germany Schlenzer usually is used for both, even though Ziehschlenzer more exactly translates drag-flick - but it's too long for daily use. Looks like we'll have to start a new Flick (hockey) lemma? Regarding the references, I'll do what I can, but referencing in the German WP is much worse than here. I'm off for the weekend, to play Hockey ;-) --Sunshinemind 13:46, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure there would really be enough to do an article (which is the usual word in English, rather than lemma which only really gets used as a technical mathematical term) just on the flick. Drag-flick is a bit different due to its impact at PCs. However, some sort of field hockey glossary might work, simiar to the first couple of pages of the rules, defining hit, flick, scoop etc... I shall be umpiring my first game of the season Sunday, an England Hockey Second team cup match. David Underdown 13:53, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
