Athletics[edit]

I believe the athletics section includes some incorrect information in regards to quotas (for ex. Canada has no men qualified in the long jump). Can someone confirm this?

Manual of Style[edit]

I have already reverted it just a few days ago, and then I've checked them again on your edits in which you think that it is suitable for the NOC against the rest. Anyway, I'll discuss on the different pinpoints to the page, so that the edit war incident may not happen again in the future, especially as the upcoming Olympic Games is fast approaching. I humbly respect your nationality, and you are most deserving to contribute to the project. But you must observe them first, not trying to judge your edits okay.

  • I just noticed that you replaced the TOC cluttering with the headings instead, especially on the team-based sports. You must have carefully read the guidelines on the table headings in the WP:OLYMOSNAT page, and I think you may have not understand clearly, so you decided to edit them instantly without anyone's further knowledge and instruction or without skimming the NOC pages from the previous Games for a quick review.
  • All team-based sports have two sections (the men's and women's tournament), so they should be cluttered. Within each tournament contains the following headings: team roster, group play, and knockout stage (but we renamed each of them separately to quarterfinal, semifinal, gold or bronze medal match, or classification in any rank). Apart from the team-based sports, different disciplines in canoeing, cycling, equestrian, and gymnastics should be cluttered for numerous reasons, especially in track cycling (where the competition has been divided into four sub-disciplines placed in each table, sprint, keirin, omnium, team pursuit, and team sprint - due to space constraints). Same case with equestrian and gymnastics as they have been divided into three, canoeing into two, because these sports have different rules to the competition format. Please do remember that equestrian is an open sport, so both men and women compete transparently in each sub-discipline (dressage, eventing, and jumping). Without the cluttering, the table of contents for each NOC would become so useless and no longer be user-friendly. Moreover, all NOCs follow the standard format of tables, headings, and styling for each sport, and the consensus has agreed onto it.
  • In the main sections, I just noticed that you include the qualification pages to every sport section, knowing that they can be found on the main section link. Is it necessary to do so in all NOC pages apart from your home turf? With honesty, I already removed it in the other NOCs at the previous editions of the Games back then for consistency to the standard format.

I hope you read and understand my explanation. Thank you! Raymarcbadz (talk) 11:56, 31 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Penny Oleksiak's medal record[edit]

Please do not unilaterally revert again, Sportsfan. The content is appropriate, per multiple 2012 Olympics country result pages -- look up the United States page for an example. In two reverts, your only stated reason for reverting was the bare url, which I have now corrected (and which you could have done quite easily yourself instead of simply deleting the content). I am assuming good faith on your part, which you will confirm by bringing any previously unstated reasons to this talk page rather than acting unilaterally again. - Tenebris 66.11.171.90 (talk) 20:32, 13 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

wrestling scores[edit]

it is curious that the highlighted score of an specific match lists the 'techical' score but the standings tree lists the 'classification' score. Is there a discussion previously on what the proper form is?18abruce (talk) 19:17, 18 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think there is a past precedent, however does it make any sense for us to put scores that are different from the ones listed on the individual results pages? Also at the top of each match bout on the official Rio 2016 website the score listed at the top is the technical score... Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 19:41, 18 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
And, as I point out, in the standings on the Rio 2016 website it lists the classification score, so yes it could obviously make sense. I emphasize could because neither you nor I know whether this has been discussed before.18abruce (talk) 19:47, 18 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I think putting either the technical or classification score across both the results and nation pages is necessary. We cannot have different scores on the results and another set on the nations. I don't mind putting either and making a note of it as well. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 19:49, 18 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
18abruce and Sportsfan 1234, both of you are getting confused about the scores especially when I replace them with classification scores. There's a centralized discussion about issue on scoring. Kindly take your time to read what they discussed. Thanks! Raymarcbadz (talk) 02:48, 19 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
