Missing Information Template

Hello all! I have added a missing information template to the countries and flag bearers section due to no list being shown. This should be removed when the information is put in. Thanks! Tdts5 (talk) 22:21, 3 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

FYROM

I would like to know if it is confirmed that FYROM (the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia) is actually going to be after France in the parade of nations. Under the Korean name given, FYROM should instead be placed after Ghana because FYROM in Korean is spelled "구유고슬라비아 마케도니아 공화국." Assuming it is the first letter of FYROM that places it on the list, like in previous olympics where FYROM was ordered as if it started with "F" and not "M", the first character "구" would place it after Ghana which is "가나". Also, I see nothing in the Korean name of FYROM that makes it so that it should be placed with the rest of the countries that start with "ㅍ" in their Korean names anyway. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Boldblazer (talk • contribs) 05:11, 22 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I have actually seen the official parade list (from the OC) and it has FYROM after France. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 13:49, 22 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have a link to this as a citation? Smartyllama (talk) 14:20, 22 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

FYROM pronounce "피롬" (Pirom) in Korean language. -- Sangjinhwa (talk) 17:45, 12 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"The Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia"

Can this be reduced to simply Macedonia? ---Another Believer _(Talk) 03:23, 23 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

As per the introduction, we're using the official IOC name for all the countries, as we've done in the past. So, for instance, we have "Islamic Republic of Iran", not simply "Iran", and "People's Republic of China" rather than simply "China." The official IOC name for Macedonia is "Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia" and that's how they'll be announced during the Parade, so that's what we use. That being said, I'm pretty sure there's no "The" in the official name so that word should probably be removed. I'm not certain though, so I won't remove it myself. Smartyllama (talk) 15:18, 23 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Part of my concern is the table stretch beyond the standard screen width, which makes viewing more difficult. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 15:59, 25 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the "no wrap" template. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 14:49, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Another editor changed it to simply "Republic of Macedonia". I changed it back to "Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia" as that is the name they will be marching under, but I do not believe the "The" is in the official name so I left it out. If someone has a cite to the contrary, please feel free to correct me. Smartyllama (talk) 14:48, 5 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Kurdistan

Can someone please do something about the guy who keeps insisting Kurdistan was there and keeps screwing up the chart? Thanks. Czolgolz (talk) 04:43, 16 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

KURDISTAN, |ˌkərdəˈstän| |kRD| also attended Parade of Nations. KURDISTAN is now attending winter olympic with an active team such as “Luge” etc. Hashemi, Seyed Badiozaman]] Seyed Badiozaman Hashemi (talk) 05:57, 16 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Primefac: Please check article history and the edit war to add Kurdistan to the table. I notice this because the broken syntax puts the article in Category:Pages with script errors but I have no knowledge about the issue. Do you have any idea what the attempted edit is trying to do? Is there a valid country code that could be used if the information were valid? Perhaps semiprotect until it's sorted out? Johnuniq (talk) 08:18, 16 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I think he's trying to say that Kurdish athletes are participating in the Olympics. However, they were NOT in the parade of nations, at least not under their own flag. Yes, could someone please semi-protest this? Czolgolz (talk) 12:27, 16 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

User blocked. Kurdistan does not have its own NOC, so it will thus not have a country code, and thus will throw an error if an attempt is made to use it. Since the user is blocked there's nothing much to be done, but I'll watch the page and semi-protect if necessary. Primefac (talk) 15:08, 16 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Songs

Apparently, the more well known songs of today are listed on this page, but for a significant portion of the parade of nations, a remixed version of 단발머리 by 조용필 was playing in the stadium. boldblazer (talk) 07:25, 24 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Israel and Macedonia's order

Israel (이스라엘, Iseurael) entered after Italy (이탈리아, Itallia), not the original order after Iran (이란, Iran), in consideration of hostile relations with Iran. Macedonia entered France (프랑스, Peurangseu) under the name of the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (구유고슬라비아 마케도니아 공화국, Guyugoseullabia Makedonia Gonghwaguk), in consideration of the Macedonia naming dispute with Greece. Macedonia's order came from the English initials FYROM (피롬, Pirom) of the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. -- Sangjinhwa (talk) 02:51, 29 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a source to verify not only the order, but the reasons why? Primefac (talk) 04:11, 29 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Macedonia comes under F, as per the former in the title. Israel entered after Iran in 2014, so I do not see why hostile relations would cause them to enter separately in 2018, when issues existed in 2014 as well. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 18:39, 29 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps Iran entered as Islamic Republic of Iran? I don't know enough Korean to figure out if that makes sense. Smartyllama (talk) 22:39, 29 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Couldn't be, because Korean grammar order would render it as "Iran Islamic Republic" and the alphabetical order would be the same. It can't just be "Iran Islamic Republic" either as that would put them even closer to Israel. (All three words starting with "I" just get transliterated directly into Korean, and the equivalents of syllable-initial r/s/t also happen to be in alphabetical order in Hangul.)
