Olympic articles and contributors on Wikipedia

You'd have to be very careful with any kind of "SportsWiki" minus a lot of rules. Wikipedia is already plagued with many sport-related stubs and half done articles because the only person working on them ran out of time or went on to the next project.

That's my case. I've created more Spanish Wikipedia articles than I can update regularly.

Are these related to Olympics?

That's the big issue we just don't have enough people working on sport articles given how massive it is. Take the Olympics for example, in a perfect world, all of the nation, sports and supporting pages would be created and completed at a high quality during the span of the Olympics. That's over 700 articles, not including the over 10,000 athlete pages which would be updated. It's no wonder people set up articles in advance.

Exactly. I remembered accomplishing a gargantuan task to create stub articles about the Olympians competing in Athens 2004 and Beijing 2008 (some from London 2012) and edit NOC articles with the official table formatting for consistency after London 2012.

 

Lugnuts managed to create and edit over ten thousand articles within a span of a decade because of time constraints, stemming from the earliest days of the modern Games. Look how incredible and fastidious he truly was.

Now, I'm officially banned from Wikipedia by the community. Sportsfan 1234 does not want me to be part of or contribute to the Wikiproject Olympics (disagrees with my edits, putting negative remarks on the summary, and filing an administrative case for edit warring or incidents) and favors support from the admins for a nonsensical, prejudicial topic and community ban. Consequently, the Olympic-related articles will turn into a mess once again.

 

Best of luck to the unbanned or unblocked users. They will face the burden to fix the mess. This will not be the same when I started editing and formatting the articles around a decade ago.

I have never edited something on Wikipedia, but I did try some edits in a famous movies' page once and got absolutely dragged by an editor, to the point I've never returned there ever since. So I understand the frustration.

 

Honestly, I would like to edit some Wiki pages of older Pan American Games (starting with Winnipeg '99 which was the first edition I followed), but knowing how things are I'd say I'm good never trying this...

You would feel the same sentiment when you edit past editions of the Pan American Games. A user named S with numbers (sorry if I explicitly state with an initial for safety reasons) will warn you about your editing privilege as he reverts yours with an unpleasant remark. Beware of him.

Wow. Sportsfan 1234's hatred towards me continues. Not only he successfully bans me from editing Olympic-related articles on Wikipedia, but he also continues to insult me with my English. How dare him? 😒🤬

    • I thought that was the case.  I just started watching skimo last year, but even then, I didn't recognize any of the women.  I recognized the top Swiss guy, I think.
    • Puripol Boonson seizes home men's 100m sprint gold after going sub-10 seconds in heats   https://www.olympics.com/en/news/sea-games-athletics-mens-100m-final-results-puripol-boonson   First Southeast Asian to go under ten seconds in the 100 meters.
    • Yes, that and a lot of the main medal contenders  either didn't have teams entered/or fielded B-C teams
    • Write-up on the Gisin story.   Olympic champion Gisin undergoes cervical spine surgery after crash
    • Seriously wish Bialystok will be banned from any European competition and for long time.
    • Unexpected boost for Team .  They are at least going to have a credible excuse if anyone fails any drug tests.     American rapper Snoop Dogg has been named an 'honorary coach' for Team USA at next year's Winter Olympics.   The United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC) announced on Thursday the 54-year-old will take on "a volunteer role celebrating and supporting America's athletes off the field of play".   Snoop Dogg named 'honorary coach' for Team US at Winter Olympics - BBC Sport
    • Just now getting around to these results...glad to see USA win a gold.  Didn't think we were much of a contender here.  Home soil luck?
    • Qualification status that could realistically change this week, barring (except where noted) new time qualifying performances :   Men   500m : pretty much done   1000m : pretty much done   1500m : pretty much done   5000m : one outlier at the moment  Semirunniy. He's currently not qualified for the distance being 18/15 in the rankings and R1 time-wise. He could still punch his ticket :    either by getting into the top 15 with a very good result (a podium or even a win would be needed). If it is at the expanse of  Henriksen or, less likely,  Swings, then the loser is out. If it is at the expanse of any other, then  Sasaki is out.  or by hoping Lorello gets into the top 15 at the expanse of Henriksen or Swings. or by going faster than Sasaki (6'08''834) which seems reachable after his 10k, even in Hamar.   10000m : once again Henriksen is on the bubble. If  Maly, Petzold of  Farthofer gets into the top 9 at the expanse of Malfatti or Snellink, then he's out.    Mass-start : not much at stake considering most of the reserve skaters will already receive an additional quota - at the moment    . Morino  will try to enter top 32 and be in those additional quota spots.    Team pursuit : pretty much done   Women   500m : pretty much done   1000m : with  Thorup not cleared to participate one more spot is up for grabs.  Scholz would need to be in front of both Herzog (done as she's not entered) and Czerwonka (7 points) after this final week.  Silaeva would be left out.    1500m : Lamarche not competing and  Zofia Braun being promoted to A division, Poland has got a real shot at a second quota. Braun will need to stay in front of Scholz and Weidemann, who could still finish ahead of her depending on how good Braun fares in A division.  Smedding would suffer from a Polish rise.   3000m : match-up between  Yang and  Horikawa only separated by 3 points. At the moment Yang is out (R2) but if they exchange position in the standings then Horikawa is out (R1). They could also both finish ahead of Hofmann, at the expanse of  Golubeva ultimately.  Jasch has a small shot at a second German quota too, by edging the former two skaters, eliminating them.    5000m : pretty much done   Mass-start :  Santo Rodrigues is hanging on by a thread. The cruelty of it is that those immediately behind her -    - will get an aditional spot anyways, so it does not really matter if they finish in the top 24 ahead of her, except it would allow France to enter a second skater and two girls in the MS.   Team pursuit : three-way asymetrical tie for the last SOQP spot between   and , all in division A. Norway needs to beat both as they can't rely on a time Q, Kazakhstan needs to beat Norway to ensure (if they fail to beat China) the first SOQT spot and avoid the Italian wild-card*, whereas China is pretty safe. *  is currently out but they "only" need to get into a reserve spot to be qualified, which is going faster than 3'00'92 (or faster than Norway if they too decide to skate faster). They were not far off this mark in Hamar earlier this year but the team was in a better shape overall.
