I don't know how to edit a page or properly leave a comment. Your article on the first ice rink http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_rink seems to be different from the information here. historyhouse.co.uk/articles/artificial_ice_rink.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.148.175.223 (talk) 11:01, 15 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
A note about rinkvsring would be useful. --Wetman 13:34, 3 Nov 2004 (UTC)
This may be a regional thing, but in the southeastern United States where I live, a "skating rink" can describe both a roller skating or an ice skating venue. These would normally be qualified as a "roller skating rink" or an "ice skating rink". Here in Florida, if not qualified, one would assume that it was a roller skating rink.
I would have assumed when searching for "skating rink", that a generic article would have come up with links to roller skating and ice skating rinks. What gives?
This article is very much North american, not everywhere ice-hockey rinks are more common than speedskating rinks. Also, one can wonder about the importance of the brandnames of these machines and whether these are really the most common all over the world. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.139.83.153 (talk) 12:45, 5 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I've rolled back some edits that look like product placement edits and are only supported by primary (company) sources. Any claims to largest ice rink need a reliable, secondary source. ʘ alaney2k ʘ (talk) 16:15, 24 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
According to this old newspaper article:
While the swift development of English skating was in progress, Southport lead the way with its "Glaciarium," the first artificial skating rink to be made in England. Like every public rink that had opened in this country it soon failed; but a great purpose had been served by showing that ice could be made satisfactorily for skating. It closed its doors, I think in the [18]80's.
Then London got its first rink Niagara, in Petty France (then Yoke-street), near Queen Anne's-mansion.
So is this source incorrect or is the Wikipedia article wrong? -- PBS (talk) 12:40, 22 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
