Thanks, Antony-22. Thanks for understanding about the primary sources; without them, which are really the best sources to use for figure skating, we'd have no articles because...well, figure skating isn't written about much in the press, and when it is (during the Olympics), they don't go into the kind of depth necessary for encyclopedia articles. Speaking of, the ISU calls this lift a rotational lift, but many newspaper reports call them reverse lifts. Perhaps at one point that was the technical term, but currently the correct term is rotational lift. I chose to use the correct term rather than depend upon the source's description, which is incorrect. The other thing that often happens with figure skating writing is that reporters use the more popular term rather than the correct, technical one. For those reasons, I ask that the hook stand as is. If you like, we can hook 2 to keep things simple.Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 04:03, 10 August 2018 (UTC)
