Olympic articles and contributors on Wikipedia

Eritrea was the sacrificial lamb in this fight.

 

If someone is brave enough, UCI has confirmed its quotas so nothing should stop the creation of its Wikipedia page at this point.

Hi Josh. Best if this should be addressed and discussed directly to the talk page of Wikiproject Olympics. This has been the reason for Sportsfan’s intention to impose me a topic ban last June 2023.

 

The serial recreation and the reckless redirect are the main issues. I hope that this article has been created before Paris 2024 starts. Such a waste and shame for the Wikipedia community. Thank you!

"Eritrea at the 2024 Summer Olympics"

 

Due to some fighting between users the page was under draft for months despite many other nations being allowed to have a page.

Wow. Are Wikipedia people that petty that a simple normal page like this can apparently not stay open? :d 

 

Although reading back a bit in this thread, with some unexplainable shit-throwing back and forth going on....yeah, Wikipedia people seem...odd :p

I personally haven’t edited Wikipedia in a while (for quite obvious reasons :p), but I’ve noticed that @Sportsfan_1234 has been reverting other users edits for no reason whatsoever. I saw a user who attempted to fill in some of the selected Team Canada diving/artistic swimming athletes for Paris (On the “Canada at the 2024 Olympics” article), but neither of those edits lasted very long. So frustrating to see, it’s almost as if he’s owns the article.

Yes. This has been a debatable issue for months until someone created a page. Such an odd intention.

Apparently it's harder to get a Wikipedia page than an Olympic quota?

The problem is that the admins and trusted users are so strict with sourcing and referencing. I do not understand why they need to baffle other users in editing and creating articles. Banning me from wiki was a total loss for the Wikiproject Olympic community.

Exactly. Not only he owns the article, but also he administers and runs the entire project. He removed my username Raymarcbadz from the list of people in the community. He's so tyrannical and personally BIASED.

    • Mets lost 9 games in a row. That's their longest losing streak in April since 1963 (their second season in existance).
    • Van Mathias posted a 58.18 100m breaststroke time at the Bergen Swim Festival. Now the #5 performer all time.
    • In Italy, it's generally impossible to watch it anywhere except on pay TV on our federation's website, which is of terrible quality: there's no clock, only the score. The 2026 Olympics were an exception, with women's hockey being on free-to-air television. Most people in southern Italy probably don't even know that women's hockey exists
    • In 2024, Italy beat Slovakia 3-2 at the World Champ Division I B, but objectively, we were two level under you in that time and now we're at a similar level. Italy won here surprisingly easily – it was even 6-2 on begining of 3 period, but Slovakia showed strength in the matches against Hungary and Norway. On paper, I think Hungary is still the best here, so you have a good chance against France – even a 2-point win is probably enough for you. Regarding Italy, in 2022/23, we even lost to Poland and Slovenia, so we've made significant progress. Now it's crucial to continue this project and avoid something like China. Italy always needs support from North America, but we also have good local players – for example, our leading striker: Mathilde Fantin, is a born in Italy- Cuneo.
    • Thanks. We´ll see. If it has to happen it will. It it does not have to happen yet, it will not... yet.   Our woman´s program is working a couple of years now with a group of girls since their early teenage years, through Youth Winter Olympics and EYOFs and several team meetings, the core of the group is still around late teen and early twentys. Also it is obviously build around Nela Lopušanová who is still 18 years old.   The goal was set for the Olympics, maybe 2030 will be too soon but the program is showing every year bigger results and is still not over, we hopw by 2034 being a competitive team at the Olympics.   For the worlds we also are trying step by step, so even if not tomorrow this group of girls will certainly qualify to the elite in the upcoming time and the goal is obviously to be able to stay there as well once our time will arrive.    
    • Italy's expectations were probably too high – we were newcomers here. Our performance at the Olympics was up our capabilities, in my opinion. Now it's crucial to continue this project and hire a good coach who will work seriously for all time, not just for the Olympics, like Bouchard.

    • I lost faith in Ceccon at 200 meters - either he starts too hard or too slow, etc. It's a lost case.
