Name change needed[edit]

this is not a list page, though it contains lists; its name should be Venues of the 2010 Winter Olympics - unless all the non-list content is severely trimmed.Skookum1 (talk) 19:33, 15 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If the article is to be moved, I would suggest that it be moved to 2010 Winter Olympics venues, to be consistent with 2000 Summer Olympics venues. I posted a note at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Olympics#List of venues articles mentionning this proposal, and also the more macro idea of whether or not there should be a standard title for all venues articles (out of four that I found, only the 2000 article is not in the "List of ..." format). -M.Nelson (talk) 22:47, 15 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I support Venues of the 2010 Winter Olympics, not only for this list but as a standard. Felipe Menegaz 23:20, 24 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I support this name change, as well as a trimming of the lead. DigitalC (talk) 03:55, 26 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Bearcat (talk) 20:50, 4 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Larwill Park and David Lam Park[edit]

These are not official venues but have been booked by VANOC and the city for "nightly celebrations"; I've made the Larwill Park article with a brief bit on the Olympics, the David Lam Park article needs creating (it's at Homer & Pacific)...unless "foot of Homer" means the north foot of Homer, but that's where the new Convention Centre is (if there was a footbridge over the tracks, that is).Skookum1 (talk) 19:33, 15 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Link rot[edit]

This article is severely contaminated with link rot. All links to VANOC now redirect to the main IOC page on the Vancouver Olympics. In addition, a few other news links are also dead. Hopefully this can be cleared up without too much work; as it stands now it is short of the FL criteria. Arsenikk ^(talk) 14:14, 20 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
