Marathon Medal Table for 2008 Paralympics[edit]

The total number of medals for Great Britain does not tally with the gold/silver/bronze medals listed. Unable to establish where the mistake is to edit it myself.

Relay champion template links[edit]

Hi. A discussion is ongoing at {{Footer Olympic Champions 4x100 m Men}} about what links should be included for the winning relay team. Potentially, this may lead to consensus about how links should be used on other relay champion navigation boxes. Please contribute to the discussion here.

Requesting change of the Asian Games status change![edit]

I hope you all know that the Indonesian city of Surabaya has been selected to host the 2019 Asian Games. Please take down Incheon, and replace it to Surabaya to make the status more accurate. Mucho appreciated! HanSangYoon (talk) 01:58, 13 February 2015 (UTC)

2016 Summer Olympics closing ceremony flag bearers[edit]

An unregistered contributor has been working on 2016 Summer Olympics closing ceremony flag bearers recently. If a project member has time to assist with formatting and adding a few references, the list might be a little more informative. ---Another Believer (Talk) 20:16, 15 February 2015 (UTC)

2014 Winter Olympics Parade of Nations[edit]

With a little work, might a list like this meet Featured list criteria? ---Another Believer (Talk) 02:02, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

Ukraine at the Olympics[edit]

Similarly to the recent Kosovo at the Olympics issue, Ukraine's prior participation in the medal tables has been taken to an absurd level. Ethnic Ukrainians very well may have participated for all those countries during all this time, but there has to be a better way of presenting it. Jmj713 (talk) 14:49, 24 March 2015 (UTC)

Ukraine did not participate independently before 1994, so there should be no medalists from the earlier years. HandsomeFella (talk) 17:07, 24 March 2015 (UTC)
I don't think ethnic groups should be taken into account in another nation's medal table. For example a person who is ethnic Ukrainian who immigrated to/was born in the United States and won a medal for the US should not have that medal counted for Ukraine too. JoshMartini007 (talk) 21:09, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
Yep, it should simply be "did X person represent y country and win z medal"? The rest quickly falls into pointy WP:OR. Lugnuts Dick Laurent is dead 19:18, 7 April 2015 (UTC)
