Interwiki linking[edit]

according to Wikipedia:Wikimedia sister projects:

« When to link Wikipedia encourages links from Wikipedia articles to pages on sister projects when such links are likely to be useful to our readers, and interlingual crosslinking to articles on foreign-language editions of Wikipedia whenever such links are possible. »

Apparently, an User that doesn’t seem to like too much those encouraged Interlingual cross linking (abr.:ill), has already made many manual reverting to suppress any of them, creating an unnecessary editwar, as he did also in many other athletics championships. Unfortunately it seems very awkward to have any peaceful and constructive dialogue on this topic. Arorae (talk) 15:41, 7 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your distruptive editing. These links are not helpful at all. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 02:03, 8 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Tebogo's championship record[edit]

Tebogo's 200 metre run is listed as a championship record here. While it is faster than any previous 200 metre race of this championship, Afrifah beat him by 0.006 seconds so I wonder if it is accurate to call this a championship record. Proofreader (talk) 14:04, 17 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, the official website of the championships also lists both Afrifah and Tebogo as championship records: [1]. That's a valid source so I guess we will have to accept that. I just don't understand the reasoning behind this as there was clearly a gold and a silver medalist. --Proofreader (talk) 14:12, 17 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

In record purposes, they have the same time - timed to one hundredth of a second. More specific time (one thousandth of a second) is published only for the placings. Imagine they run 19.96 in different competitions, you wouldn't know who was faster. Pelmeen10 (talk) 14:20, 17 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Makes sense, thanks for the answer. --Proofreader (talk) 10:23, 18 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
