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.

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.

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.

Are these related to Olympics?

Exactly. This happens to the case of NOC articles for Paris 2024 on Wiki. Sportsfan 1234 insisted to reject the redirected articles and those far from the correct source standards. For instance, I created Eritrea at the 2024 Summer Olympics article with sources and he simply filed it for deletion because it does not merit the WP:GNG and WP:SIGCOV guidelines. So confusing and harsh. Not kidding.

I recently found the Olympics wiki site at Fandom.com. This is less strict and more lenient than the current Wikipedia. Users can create and edit an article without getting troubled though they should be abided by rules and guidelines in the site that govern them.

This is truthfully marked by a sad reality for many of us editors whenever we contribute solely to the project. Admins and editors entrusted by them have abused their authority to override our edits and place our status on the degrees of probation and infraction.

He requested to delete his own user page for everyone’s sake but his attitude towards the editors remain the same.

Best not to check and edit Wikipedia at this moment as the conflict between me and the administrators entrusted to the user arises. Their rules are already tightened because of the recently established GNG and NOLYMPICS guidelines. In the near future, Wikipedia administrators would impose general sanctions on the Wikiproject Olympics, including source citations and publishing new articles. I predict that because of these guidelines, more users are required to produce high-quality Olympic-related articles, i.e. proper citation, personal life (for Olympic athletes), historical background (see this NOC article), results summary, and many more. Failure to comply with these measures would entail a more severe sanction toward a member of the Wiki community, and if repeatable, he or she will be indefinitely blocked or topic-banned. So tragic.

Time will tell if this user will end up being blocked and topic-banned. He's more "entitled", abusive, and authoritative than mine. He insists to revert my edits and other users involved and putting negative remarks on the summary, such as "grammar" and "disruptive editing." And yes, Bearas. Many editors agree to restrain the standards on the notability guidelines for the articles, causing the regular editors, including me, to engage in a community-based conflict. Surely, the articles for the succeeding Olympics would no longer be useful because of these circumstances. Yes, I'm hoping for my editing rights to restore. I don't want to intensify personal attacks toward editors over and over again. At this moment, Sportsfan 1234's "entitlement" is more apparent than my case.

Exactly. I do not understand why he trusted a group of Wikipedia admins to set restrictions and standards on the sport articles, especially the Olympics. This would become a major problem for countries with a slight media presence and a rigorous demand on more constructive and reliable content.

Who among you knows "Sportsfan 1234?" A user named Sportsfan 1234 wanted to be permanently "entitled" on the WikiProject Olympics, endlessly reverting the edits of others on Olympics, filing deletion discussions about the Olympic articles because of the GNG and NOLYMPICS guidelines, and moving the existing articles to drafts because they do not have sufficient sources. Lately, he posted a section on my username in the administrators' noticeboard for incidents, proposing a topic ban towards my end on Olympics. I strive to defend my case because I have done nothing wrong about my contributions. Because of his "entitlement", he convinced other editors and administrators to support a topic ban proposal against my will on Wikipedia; hence, I ranted and unleashed my personal attacks to stop this nonsensical issue. Consequently, I was blocked indefinitely on Wikipedia. I do not know how long this case would last? I could not get the opportunity to edit any Olympic-related articles. Who will clean up the "messes"? Who will monitor the qualification process for the Games? I have nothing else but to blame Sportsfan 1234. He is responsible for raising any issues against me. He does not want me to edit anymore as he agrees to impose a topic ban. I already filed an appeal but the administrators denied it several times to succeed. I urgently need your help to win my appeal for unblock. What shall I tell the administrators to successfully file an unblock request? Thank you! Wikipedia username: Raymarcbadz

The International Canoe Federation has announced all ICF and international canoeing competitions scheduled between now and the end of May will be postponed or cancelled because of ongoing concerns about the coronavirus COVID-19. The ICF will continue implementing its coronavirus contingency plans to deal with the cancellation and postponement of Tokyo 2020 sprint, slalom and paracanoe qualifying events. The International Olympic Committee reiterated its commitment during a teleconference on Tuesday to staging this year’s Olympics, starting Friday July 24, but expressed its support for sports like canoeing which still has Olympic quotas to fill. The situation remains extremely fluid, with several key events already cancelled or postponed. The ICF and host organisers have now cancelled all continental qualifiers in sprint and slalom. The canoe sprint and paracanoe world Olympic qualifiers set down for Duisburg, Germany, will not be able to proceed on the weekend of May 21-24. However, organisers and the ICF are looking at the possibility of staging the event at the end of June. A decision regarding this will be made by the end of April, but the ICF will be guided by the ability of all athletes to take part in the competition. Under current international travel restrictions, many athletes are not able to cross borders. The ICF will use world rankings to allocate quotas for canoe slalom, and is currently in discussion with the IOC on using international results to determine which countries are allocated the remaining sprint Tokyo 2020 quotas. This decision will be taken by early April. If Duisburg is unable to proceed, the results from the 2019 ICF paracanoe world championships will be used to determine final Paralympic quota allocations, dependent on approval from the International Paralympic Committee. The IOC has expressed full confidence that the Olympics will proceed on time, and the ICF is working hard to ensure it is able to fill all available quota positions in the fairest and most appropriate manner. The ICF shares the disappointment of the canoeing community with the disruptions to the programme, but is acting to protect the health and wellbeing of everyone involved with our events. The ICF and competition organisers have also been forced to make changes for several non-Olympic discipline events. The latest competition status, current as of March 18, 2020, is as follows; Global statement: All ICF competitions and international competitions are postponed or cancelled from now until Sunday 31 May inclusive.
