Note on 1995 Pairs Result
editAccording to the ISU, the bronze medalists in 1995 were Kyoko Ina and John Zimmerman. This is problematic because Ina was still skating with Jason Dungjen in 1995. Pairs on Ice has the bronze medalists as being Natalia Krestianinova & Aleksei Torchinsky. While I'm trusting Pairs on Ice for all the before-GP years, I used the ISU's results for this, in faith that maybe they just got Ina's partner wrong. Was anyone at the competition/have better knowledge of who the actual bronze medalists were? Kolindigo 08:11, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
Renaming proposal
editI propose to rename this article NHK Trophy (figure skating). User:Kolindigo suggested the name. The reason is that NHK, the Japanese broadcaster, sponsors more than a dozen competitions with the name "NHK Trophy." See ja:NHK杯 for a fuller list of trophies that NHK awards. These include go and shogi, gymnastics, horse racing and bicycle racing. In addition, NHK awards a trophy with the same name at competitions such as sumo, rugby football, and football (soccer).
The title NHK Trophy should be for an article covering all of these. Initially most would be red links. Editors may create articles when they wish, with the structure in place and a systematic, well-thought-out naming convention.
Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Japan#NHK Trophy has a small amount of additional discussion.

- My one concern about this is the "Initially most would be red links" part combined with the may part of "Editors may create articles when they wish". I don't like the idea of making a disambiguation page either just for the sake of having a disambiguation page or so that this will match Japanese Wikipedia. As long as other articles are created (or already exist) that share the name and so a disambig page is necessary, I have no problem. BTW, just curious, how notable or important are the other trophies that NHK hands out? Kolindigo (talk) 20:17, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
