This is well on track to being the elusive article rejected purely because of MOScruft considerations. I will return to this when its fate is decided. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 03:30, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have any evidence to support this declaration? Dabomb87 (talk) 04:53, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes; the project page to which this belongs. I posted after writing this comment. Before that there were three substantive criticisms (two dealing with clunsy phrasings, all checked off; the other about "national perception of Olympics. A lot of countries try and win to prove that their political system is better [communists], and how countries view the Olympics and national pride, showing off their country and so forth. At the moment it only includes the extreme stuff like the 1936 games.") and a whole lot of MOScruft.

I don't think the last very helpful: it is close to a demand for a POV; but, for better or worse, all have been answered. That leaves the MOScruft. If this is failed, after the slight rewrite which would answer my complaints, it will be failed on MOS grounds alone. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 05:48, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
