Talk:List of longest ski jumps

A fact from List of longest ski jumps appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 23 February 2011 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that Nels Nelsen, at the time holder of the world's longest ski jump set at Big Hill, was not allowed to participate in the 1928 Winter Olympics because officials thought it inappropriate for an athlete to work for his fare on a freighter?

Where is the list of invalid jumps taken from? Arsenikk ^(talk) 23:03, 17 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"The distance is measured from the lip of the takeoff to the place on the hill where the skier's back foot is when he touches the ground". Here it should be measured if that is straight distance or horizontal distance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tavernsenses (talk • contribs) 11:33, 2 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

First ski jump

There must be something wrong with the source that claims that Vardebakken was located at Lekum. Vardebakken was located at Mysen and built more than a 100 yrs later. This is a mistake that I see is repeated on other Wikipedias and should be corrected. --Dermeister83 (talk) 16:49, 26 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

All jumps over 230 m

Can I suggest to raise the limit to 240 or 235 m? Now Letalnica is expanded too and jumps over 230 might not be so rare in the future, so keeping tracks of all of them may become more difficult within the next few years. Otherwise the table could become a very big one. This is just a suggestion, nothing more. -- KWiki (talk) 01:02, 23 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, there already is a main article called List of ski jumps over 230 metres with currently 347 entries. The Vikersund-weekend added about 50 jumps to the list, the Planica-weekend added about 60 jumps. So each year the list will grow by at least 100 jumps. That's too much. We can leave the separate article but let's take it out from this one. Judith Sunrise (talk) 09:57, 15 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I propose a further split: the list of jumps over 240 m should also have its own article, whilst this article should only contain world records and jumps over 250 m (the latter of which is a new benchmark that will see a more gradual increase). Mac Dreamstate (talk) 14:00, 15 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Revisiting this after almost a year: 230 m is now a standard distance for competitiveness, so it needs to go. A huge number of athletes are now part of the "230 club", and even 240 m is becoming more attainable for those who aren't top flyers. I propose that only 250 m stats belong here. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 20:19, 20 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I went ahead and zapped both the 230 m and 240 m sections. If any objections, should've said your piece. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 21:26, 22 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Longest invalid jumps (crash)

Why did you put #32 Tilen Bartol (who crashed at 252 m), if the previous #31 Dmitri Vassiliev crashed at 254 m? --Holapaco77 (talk) 15:07, 11 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The jumps are numbered in order of their occurrence—Bartol's having taken place after Vassiliev's. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 15:52, 11 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

List is in chronological order. That's the whole point in any of all record lists, written in timeline. Just check dates; Vassiliev crashed in 2015 and Bartol in 2016. Sportomanokin (talk) 14:56, 22 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Henry Hall (1917)

Hi,

I wrote the french page of Karl Hovelsen and I found an article about Henry Hall's record in 1917. But in 1918, there is a bad weather and no record are beaten.

I am currently writing Olaus Jeldness's page and the ski jumper claim that he did a world record in 1881 ou 1882. --Shev123 (talk) 11:12, 3 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Flag Icon

I've seen this on other pages before. The Canada flag icon shows up as either an old British colony flag or the Ontario flag (hard to tell from the size). Is the link wrong or is there something wrong with my old browser? SquashEngineer (talk) 17:15, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
