Great work

I'd just like to thank you for your great work on <nation> at the 2010 Summer Youth Olympics articles. I do have one request; per consensus previously reached, could you help revert any changes you see made by anonymous users adding mixed medals to individual nation medal tallies in the nation articles? Thanks a lot, keep up the good work! Strange Passerby (talk) 00:44, 29 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Japan at the 2012 Winter Youth Olympics

Hello! I noticed that you removed the Japanese spellings of the names which I find a pity. Not sure whether you are aware of it, but Japanese names are ambiguous in two ways: i) a name spelled in Japanese can have different readings/transcriptions; and ii) a Japanese name in English transcription can have various spellings in Japanese. So for instance there could be two people with the name Seiya Hiroshima (in transcription) but with different names when spelled in Japanese. In order to reduce this ambiguity, I usually supply the Japanese spelling together with the name unless there exists a wikipedia article which identifies the person clearly. I don't feel strongly about it, so feel free to ignore this comment. bamse (talk) 18:32, 14 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Independent Olympic Athletes

You have commented on this issue. Can you do so here as well? 85.167.109.186 (talk) 06:11, 22 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You've done the page move entirely wrong. From what I gather they don't blank content and add a redirect to a new page like you have done on the IOP to IOA move. There is a different procedure to article page moves. Admins get a little bit freaked out by the method which you have done, as I clearly found out the other week when I tried to move Inter Milan page. You might want to get an admin who you know won't go crazy to fix it. Wesley Mouse 22:59, 23 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Update - I've checked the guidelines on handling page moves, and yes the way you did it with redirects here and there is the incorrect method. And as a result of that action now, the move cannot be made in a non-admin way - it now requires an admin to do it. Wesley Mouse 23:15, 23 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Did we make the same edit at the same time?

Hello. About ten minutes ago I made this edit, which as you can see is being credited to you. It is not showing up under my username on the page history or my contributions page. It is showing up on your contributions page, however. Do you know anything about this?

Thanks

Jordan at 2012 Summer Paralympics

I see you've added to the list of participating nations that Jordan has 9 athletes but you did not add a cite for the source - where did you find this information? The information about the athletes and their events you added to Jordan at the 2012 Summer Paralympics is also unsourced. I've been searching for it a number of times over the last few days without success. The last remaining "unknown" is the Faroe Islands, maybe you can track down the information for that team too - but please remember to add references. Roger (talk) 08:52, 29 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nations at the 2018 Summer Youth Olympics

Hi, you have put the wrong year in the infobox (2017) for the nations pages at the 2018 Summer Youth Olympics. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 16:25, 21 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Events according to the official site

I hope my explanation was ok ? If not just let me know, I'll show you some example if you want. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Symon-peter (talk • contribs) 07:29, 1 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

2018 Commonwealth Games

The results webpage is up for Gold Coast 2018 [2]. Team sports and diving are not correct as far as I can tell. Thank you for putting up the lawn bowls sections on the nation pages. Any other sport(s) you would like to do? Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 21:38, 20 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the link, I didn't realize the page was up. I'll probably focus on sports that have a complete list of athletes or we already know which nations are qualified. If there is something you or someone else would like to do let me know. JoshMartini007 (talk) 22:32, 20 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No problem! Would it be too much to ask you to start the event pages for lawn bowls? I am also in the process of finishing the beach volleyball tournament pages, so after that I think they can be added to the individual nation pages. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 23:02, 20 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I prefer to work on the nation pages, but if I have time I can work on sport pages. It also looks like they redirected the results page. JoshMartini007 (talk) 15:01, 21 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, the beach volleyball pages are done, they just need to be transmitted to the nation pages. I will create a template (as in the standard paragraph, chart) and let you know when I am done. I noticed it redirects now too, but I have been using google cache when needed. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 15:30, 22 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

[3] here is the format for beach volleyball. It would also help if you put how many athletes qualified per sport section. For ex. in weightlifting. Also, the tables at the top of each nation page summarizing the team size needs updating as well. Thanks!! Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 15:38, 22 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I forgot about using Google cache. I think it would be a better use of time to update the team size summary chart towards the end. At least for me it is since I tend to add things by sport rather than by nation. JoshMartini007 (talk) 15:46, 22 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yea that is a good idea! Also for weightlifting, please add the "|Weightlifting at the 2018 Commonwealth Games – Qualification" to each section when you get a chance. Also, do you think powerlifting should be merged with the weightlifting article or have one by itself? Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 22:05, 22 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sure. Powerlifting and weightlifting are different sports (as in they have different sport federations) so in theory they should be split, but past practices have been to combined them (like with swimming and open water swimming at the Olympics, though those are different disciplines). If it was my call I'd split them, but I can understand if others want to combine them.JoshMartini007 (talk) 22:58, 22 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I also think they should be split. I don't think there will be any objections too it. However, the official website has powerlifting as a discipline of weightlifting. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 22:51, 22 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Is it? Well we have different pages for diving and swimming, though we then run the risk of every discipline wanting its own page...JoshMartini007 (talk) 22:58, 22 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

My bad it says "Para-powerlifting". Also the singles squash draws are up on their respective wikipedia pages. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 15:08, 24 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Awesome. For boxing will the event pages be listed by its weight (75kg) or weightclass (middleweight)? JoshMartini007 (talk) 15:24, 24 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I would prefer the weight, because it would be easier to find. However, previous games have the weight class. If its okay with you, I think we should go with the weights. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 15:35, 24 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. JoshMartini007 (talk) 15:53, 24 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I was thinking for the wrestling/powerlifting/weightlifting events, we could have just one page for the results. What do you think? Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 20:17, 29 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I think they are notable enough to have their own pages, even if they are small. Does it take a lot more time to make separate pages vs. one big one? How would we decide which events get their own page and which ones get combined? JoshMartini007 (talk) 21:02, 29 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It does take longer to create individual articles. Most of these events will just have the results on them. I was thinking of events with just a need for one section for results. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 23:36, 29 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I don't mind, if someone else really wants to they can create individual articles. It's also easy enough to redirect links in nation pages to this new page. JoshMartini007 (talk) 00:03, 30 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I will proceed with individual pages, but if time is running out, I think maybe one page is smart. Also, for athletics/swimming I think keeping para athletes separate would be better to avoid confusion and large tables. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 19:53, 30 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I feel it goes against the spirit of the games and besides a couple of lines isn't going to make things more or less manageable. JoshMartini007 (talk) 22:13, 30 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Typically reserves don't count unless they are replaced due to injury. At least that's what is done at the Olympics. Do you know if the Commonwealth Games are any different? JoshMartini007 (talk) 23:11, 31 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, but the CGA announced all athletes would be at the village. It makes no sense to me, they must have gotten an exception. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 23:30, 31 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting, maybe it's more like in ice hockey where the men's team can have 25 athletes, but only 22 can be dressed for a game. If we know whether all 13 would get a medal then it would be easy. Regardless I think we should be consistent across all nation pages then. 13 until further notice? JoshMartini007 (talk) 23:45, 31 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with consistency, but it appears only Canada has 13. I emailed Rugby Canada for more clarification. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 00:47, 1 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

For wrestling, the technical points (not classification) should be used on nation pages. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 12:41, 12 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

That would make victories by fall seem like close matches and classification points are used at the Olympics. JoshMartini007 (talk) 13:14, 12 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

[4] has both points listed. Idk its confusing, as the results pages have the technical points, and the nation ones have the classification ones. Should we keep it like that, or have it uniform across the board? Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 21:38, 12 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The event shows the issue of using technical points. Nigeria outscored Canada 9-6, but lost. I'm not sure what the best way of showing the information would be. Classification points give more of a summary of what happened while technical points give more detail, sort of like in table tennis we have the results by number of sets won in the nation pages, but the event pages have the breakdown of the sets.

2018 youth Olympic Games

Hello My name is Flydon. I have a doubt in field hockey. I think Austria and Poland have not qualified. That was 2nd division. The top division and qualifiers will be in Spain in July where the top nations like Netherlands, British, Germany etc will play. So could you please check it once more if you are free. Flydon Melrick Picardo (talk) 16:56, 28 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It's what listed in the qualification document plus FIH has the European teams listed in the calendar [5], though France in the boys' tournament is listed, but you're the one that thinks they will compete in a different sport.JoshMartini007 (talk) 12:20, 29 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the confirmation. Acc to a website France is choosing Rugby sevens but now when I searched I didn't get the link. So I will keep it to original till I add the citation. Thank you Flydon Melrick Picardo (talk) 06:35, 30 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Also there was a formatting problem in wrestling. Sportsfan1234 had reverted the pan American quotas when I had done it correctly. But now there is a formatting problem. I have added a citation also. Could you please edit it correctly. Flydon Melrick Picardo (talk) 06:38, 30 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'll update it later today.JoshMartini007 (talk) 17:18, 30 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Cycling at the 2018 Summer Youth Olympics

Not sure, but it appears Luxembourg received a wild card. Can you confirm this? I put them under the wild card section, feel free to revert if necessary. Thanks. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 15:22, 2 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I don't have a link to say one way or another. Based on the rankings Luxembourg would have received a spot regardless. On closer inspection of the new file the UCI uploaded we have nations listed in two groups of alphabetical order; the first group contains the initial selected teams (plus hosts and tripartite) while the second group are the nations that gain spots after other nations declined. If that's true Luxembourg received a wild card in the boys' event while qualified through reallocation in the girls' event. Of course this is all speculation. JoshMartini007 (talk) 15:42, 2 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Good catch! It seems a lot of sports are not awarding the maximum number of spots. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 15:44, 2 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This was similar in 2014. Sadly a lot of the smaller nations don't have the funds to develop young athletes.JoshMartini007 (talk) 15:47, 2 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Election results

Please note that we do not make our own "elected" declarations in our own editorial voice. The "colour bar" in front of a person's name is not for denoting whoever happens to be the current leader in the count — it is for denoting the winner, and does not get added to anybody until an external source (such as the CBC or the Vancouver Sun) has officially declared the person elected. In fact, even preliminary vote counts aren't supposed to be added to the article either, as we're supposed to wait until the final numbers are certified before we add any numbers to the article — we're writing the first draft of history here, not the current news cycle — but I'm not prepared to editwar over every number you've added to the entire article. But no matter what else you do or don't do to the article, no colour bar goes in front of anybody in a district whose winner has not been externally called by the media yet. It's a winner bar, not a "currently leading" bar, and we do not make our own personal winner projections: we wait for the media to do that before we denote any winners here. No matter what the numbers may look like now, we make no winner declarations here until the winner has been called by outside sources. Bearcat (talk) 21:29, 25 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Considering we won't be getting further results for another two weeks, I feel the current format is fine. I made it very clear in each section that these are preliminary results as has the rest of the article. JoshMartini007 (talk) 21:33, 25 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Adding a colour bar in front of the current leader is not "fine". Wikipedia works by consensus, not by people's personal opinions of what's "okay" — and we do not mark any winner until the winner has been officially declared by the media. Bearcat (talk) 21:35, 25 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Then I believe the rest of the article should be written with those four ridings as too close to call as it is currently contradicting itself. JoshMartini007 (talk) 21:41, 25 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

WP:SOFIXIT Bearcat (talk) 21:43, 25 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

We can leave it at 55-29-3, until or if the numbers flip. GoodDay (talk) 00:27, 26 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Then I think we should edit the results section to show that those parties are leading, overall there needs to be some consensus. 00:43, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
