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? 😒🤬

    • Obviously impossible to know in advance but in 2022 all ten skaters Canada qualfiied skated individually, and 9/10 competed in a relay as well.
    • 4-3  over  at the break, Norway with hammer.
    • whatever you heard is just speculation. no one knows at the moment, probably even the orange himself.   and Iranian athletes failed to get visa so many times before. even female athletes. there is no pattern, it's just too random.    and yes Iran has a system of compulsory military service for men, and there is 50% chance for anybody to be randomly drafted by IRGC affiliated organizations. that's the case for Taremi and few others in the current team.  
    • Would you believe the NCAA Indoor season has already started?      
    • Some changes that I've noticed:   3x3 Basketball: With the expanded 12 team field, one extra team per gender qualifies through world rankings, one extra team qualifies through the universality driven tournament and there's now an Olympic Qualifier series to award the final quotas.   Beach Volleyball: Continental qualifiers have have priority over the World championship and World Rankings quotas and there's now Olympic Qualifier Series quotas.   Canoe Sprint: World ranking system now in place and will be used instead of awarding world championship quotas. Road Cycling: 2 nations ranking quotas per gender moved to universality.   Track Cycling: Sprint and Keirin ranking list is now combined and will award 14 quotas per gender. Previously it was 7+7. Team pursuit down to 8 quotas from 10. 2 of the quotas have been moved to madison (one additional team) and 6 to the omnium.   Fencing: Can get a Continental quota of you finished in the top 24 of the rankings. It was previously top 16.    Hockey: 2 pro league quotas replace two qualification tournament quotas.   Judo: 5 less universality places and 4 more Continental places. For men, there's two more spots for Asia, one less for Oceania and 1 more for the Americas. For the women, there's one more spot for Europe, one less for Oceania and two more for Asia.   Modern Pentathlon: Less quotas awarded through world rankings as a result of quota cuts.   Open Water Swimming: Introduction of world ranking qualifier.   Sailing: In general, seems to be more quotas awarded at the last chance regatta and less quotas at the World Championships   Shooting: One less quota handed out at each World Championship and the return on World Cup qualifiers.   Swimming: Olympic qualification and consideration times renamed to A and B standard. B standard is now 1% slower than the A standard compared to 0.5% in 2024. Stroke 50s have their own direct qualification events and have minimum time standards instead of A and B standards. Qualification times have been nuked again. B standard selection process has also changed.   Volleyball: New revised format. Continental championships first, then world championships followed by world rankings. In 2024, it was 3 qualification tournaments and then world rankings. Only 3 countries per gender will qualify by world rankings now compared to 5 in 2024
    • For Italy, the match against Japan and likely the final match against Estonia will be a safe/relegation game, but I'm think that whether the match against Estonia will be decisive on anything, if we have 0 points after 4 matches. We're currently the worst team here – we have 0 points and are taking significantly fewer shots than our opponents in each match. Japan and Estonia are looking better for now and unfortunately, without significant improvement play starting tomorrow, we'll likely be relegated to the fourth division. With the absence of Russia and Belarus, this will be a shame, even for the weaker 2006/2007 age generation. Especially, since we are playing this tournament at home. For anyone could have competed with a good shape, except perhaps Hungary, who are currently the best team in the tournament.
    • They shouldn't promise additional spots to countries that qualify 3 athletes in each distance, because then taking those spots away isn't fair. For example, in Italy, Previtali won the 500m QO for country but he would likely have to stay at home because the staff probably would have chosen Casinelli for the relay (Casinelli won't be competing individually at all). I don't know what the situation is in Canada with the fifth-place skater? Will this person only compete in the relay, or will he also be a reserve there? 
    • That's too bad. Athletes who finish in the top 32 (or 36 for the 1590m) should be the priority over the 5th athlete from a relay country.   So Croatia loses their 2nd women's quota, Hong Kong loses their only women's quota and Poland loses their 3rd women's quota.   This means that Great Britain, Slovakia and Ukraine should fill up the rest of the 1500m field since they are the highest placed reserves that doesn't require an additional quota.
