Needs update?

The the chakra the the offical logo of the games was dipicted after was the ashoka chakra not anything involved with hinduismMandeep 619 (talk) 00:31, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

I'd be surprised if Sunil Dutt was heading the committee. -shuri 09:08, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

2016 Olympics

Text says:

The success of these games may also strengthen India's bid for 2016 Summer Olympic games.

But the host city for the 2016 Summer Olympics will be chosen in 2009. I will delete this comment if no-one can justify this. I suppose it is possible that the success of the PLANNING of the 2010 Commonwealth Games might aid India's bid for the Olympics, but I doubt it... Honuswagner 12:11, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

I think how well their planning etc is going will have some influence althought perhaps any positive effect will be more minor then the potential negative effect if they aren't doing well. BTW I agree the comment should go or be modified Nil Einne 22:48, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
I have removed the particular sentence. Success of the 2010 games cannot affect an event which will already have happened in 2009. Regarding success of the PLANNING of the 2010 Commonwealth Games aiding India's bid for the Olympics... this might be the case but I have no evidence of it. Honuswagner 04:11, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

Sports

Does anyone know if India has finally formed a organising commitee? And if so, what sports they're going to include? I would guess cricket is number 1 on their list, heck maybe they'll try a Twenty20 tournament, a 1 day tournament and a test tournament for good measure :-P Nil Einne 22:48, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

Test tournament? In 11 days of competition? HOW? jkm 06:30, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

No one said it has to run during the 11 days of competition. Some team events (cricket was one) started early during the 1998 Commonwealth Games. You could spend 3 months on a test tournament before the start of the games with the Twenty20 and one day tournament either being played after or before or during the test tournament. Then after the opening ceremony you have the first Twenty20 final followed by the other 2 (or 1) finals (of course you don't need to have 3 finals for the Twenty20 but it's fun right?. 2 days later you have the One day final then you have the test final on the last 5 days.
Like this:
Opening ceremony & Twenty20 final 1
Twenty20 final 2
Twenty20 final 3 (if necessary)
Rest day
One day final
Rest day
Rest day
Test final day 1
Test final day 2
Test final day 3
Test final day 4
Test final day 5 & closing ceremony
11 days of competition and the opening ceremony day. It all works fine! Also I guess simultaneously, you have the bronze medal matches going on too. Okay admittedly you'd have to convince everyone to attend the 3 month (or whatever) round robin and semifinal stages for the tests in India but thats just a minor issue :-P
Anyway according to the 1998 Cricket in CG page, Delhi 2010 is probably not going to have cricket because the BCCI want One dayers but the CG federation want Twenty20s. Nil Einne 16:50, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

Delhi or New Delhi?

Some sources say that it will be hosted in New Delhi, while others state Delhi, which is it? --Joey80 06:26, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

I don't know but I assume that it will be hosted in Delhi with parts of it being specifically in New Delhi. But you are aware of the differences between the two terms right? It's described in wikipedia fairly well Nil Einne 09:34, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

Images

I don't know who will ever read this, seeing as I seem to be one of the only/few people working on this article... but I'll try anyways. We need better and more images for this article. We have a few relevant images, but none is particularly attractive, and a lot of sections could use an image or two. If you have anything, it'd be much appreciated. Thank you!

WP:INDIA Banner/Delhi Addition

Note: {{WP India}} Project Banner with Delhi workgroup parameters was added to this article talk page because the article falls under Category:Delhi or its subcategories. Should you feel this addition is inappropriate , please undo my changes and update/remove the relavent categories to the article -- Amartyabag 04:53, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

Participents

Are Israel, Yemen, Afganistan and others really sending teams to the 2010 commonwealth games? On the Commonwealth Games page it suggests that some countries like Tokelau plan to send teams, and other applicants to the Commonwealth including Rwanda and Yemen might one day. Is there any reliable source which states all these 85 teams will participate? YeshuaDavid (talk) 20:20, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Ecological impact and Human Rights violations

Most of this page reads like it was written by a PR agency for the Games. I've made additions to reflect some of the controversies regarding the ecological/ human rights record of these games. Please add more information, if you can. Link to information about the financial/human/ ecological effects of hosting large games on cities etc. Shera lover (talk) 16:28, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

Reductions

I've hacked off a good ten kilobytes of prose, which actually represents a reduction of about 40% to the previous total amount! I have done this in two ways: (primarily) the condensing of material into a concise paragraph and (secondly) plain removal of unrelated or tangential information. For example, projections of Indian transport capacity for 2030 did not seem relevant. Some was pure promotional tripe, such as quotes from Mr Amit Goyal and shtick like "The very essence of India with its diversity and unrelenting endeavour towards a harmonious and progressive nation has shaped the inspiration of the baton". Boring and, more importantly, it says jack all about anything. Let's keep on topic and avoid giving the life story of every Uttam Singh here. Sillyfolkboy (talk) (edits) 19:56, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
