== Naming practices: "FYR" Macedonia == |
|
|
|
|
|
In a centralised discussion that created a new naming guideline for ]-related issues, now at ], it was determined that the ] should generally not be referred to as "former Yugoslav Republic of..." or "FYR ...", even in articles about organisations where such an appellation is officially used. This affects a lot of Olympics-related articles, where up to now "FYR Macedonia" has been used. |
|
|
|
|
|
The discussion was advertised at ], and we had some input from an active Wikiproject member, ], who assured us that a change towards plain "Macedonia" would likely meet with consensus in this project too . |
|
|
|
|
|
To implement the change, I would like to edit the template {{tl|country_IOC_alias_MKD}}, which transcludes the country name into the various flag and infobox templates used in result tables etc., changing "FYR Macedonia" to "Macedonia". Please advise if there should be any objections, or technical complications I may have overlooked. ] ] 08:13, 11 July 2009 (UTC) |

Hi. A discussion about cutting back on some of the flags in Olypmics related articles is taking place at ]. Please contribute. Note that the suggestion is not to remove all flags, far from it, but to cut back on places where the number of flags is excessive and causing accessibility issues without any noticeable benefit, ie in the list of all participating countries/NOCs. ] (]) 10:18, 16 July 2009 (UTC) |

Since about a month I have on my watchlist edits of an IP hopper on 2024 Olympic boxing competitions. I seen them once spilling out into another sport, and the IP is dynamic, so it is difficult to check. The example is (and the IP returned to restore my partial revert . The first paragraph is just incorrect, since IOC currently does not use names for weight categories, and the statement "this is the fourth appearance of the flyweight category at the Olympics" does not make sense. The second paragraph is not incorrect, but is written in a bad English, and the details are unclear (for example, the "silver medalist" refers to the 2020 silver medalist). All their additions are unsourced. I have seen literally dozens of those (they edited all boxing competitions multiple times); sometimes I tried to copyedit, sometimes I reverted as in this case. If I revert, they eventually come back. They never discuss anything. I can of course let it go and leave this horrible prose in the articles but I think this is not what Misplaced Pages is about. Any advise is appreciated. ] (]) 18:50, 1 December 2024 (UTC) |

I have been looking through the (last updated August 2021) and have found it quite interesting. For example, it says the ] should not be referred to as the "Games of the Paralympiad", so I have removed that name from the article. It also says that they should not use Roman numerals, which can be found in all the articles and the infoboxes. What I found especially interesting is page 9, where they refer to specific Paralympic Games. It gives the example of Beijing 2022, where the formal name is "Beijing 2022 Paralympic Winter Games", with subsequent informal names as "Beijing 2022 Winter Paralympics", "2022 Paralympics", and "Beijing 2022". None of these is ], which is what the article is currently named on Misplaced Pages. It specifically notes: "The term Paralympic Games refers only to summer editions of the Paralympic Games. Any reference to winter editions should use the term Paralympic Winter Games." |

== Nations tables in some Olympic sport articles == |

I know that IPC guidelines and Misplaced Pages guidelines can differ, especially when it comes to ]. This means that the article can mention the different correct terms for the name of the event, and that the official name does not necessarily mean that it will be the article title. However, it seems illogical to use an article title and terminology that goes against official IPC guidelines. This leads me to the opinion that the Beijing 2022 article should be located at either ] or ]. I know both of these would cause an inconsistency with ] (the document allows that wording) and other editions of the Summer Paralympics, which might be undesirable, but I feel like we should be using naming in line with official guidelines on Misplaced Pages.

*{{tq|it seems illogical to use an article title and terminology that goes against official IPC guidelines}} - the IPC guidelines are an internal style guide, and which may be issued for editorial media coverage of the event. The existence of a different style guide for a different organisation (like Misplaced Pages) is not ''illogical''. However, we are basically applying our Olympics MOS to how we write about the Paralympics and if there is a suggestion that it would be better to have a Paralympics-specific MOS (or Paralympics-specific informal rules and consensus), then IPC terminology would certainly be discussed in devising that. ] (]) 22:43, 5 December 2024 (UTC) |

::I've got mixed feelings about these. I agree that they are useful, but for some sports, will be totally overwhelming for the article. Specifically, qualifying standards do not need to be met for entries in athletics and swimming, to allow even the smallest countries to have one or two participants per Games. Therefore, the tables on those pages would have a couple of hundred rows each (roughly duplicating the list of participating nations for that entire Games), with thousands of table cells to complete. So practically speaking, I'm not sure the benefit is worth the effort, and I also don't want to see those articles remain mostly sets of large tables with little room for prose text. — ] (] '''·''' ]) 14:38, 24 July 2009 (UTC) |

Hey all. Lately, this project has seen many of its pages being recognized as worthy contributions to this online encyclopedia. I thought that it would be a good time to open ]. Who else besides us could be better indicated to review Olympics-related content? Of course, this does not imply that all articles on this topic would compulsorily have to pass through our own peer review. But I believe that we could address better the specificities of the theme than the general reviewing process would. |

:I mean... it's a list article. What needs sourcing? Probably needs an update for newer sports, and maybe a split between Summer/Winter games for ease of navigation, but I'm not sure ''sourcing'' is the issue here. ] (]) 12:52, 13 January 2025 (UTC) |
