Talk:1960 Winter Olympics

My info is that:

The Olympic Flame is lit in Squaw Valley at February 18 by the 1952 Olympic champion in 500 meter speed skating, Ken Henry. The games are opened by Vice President Richard Nixon. The fire from Morgedal is still burning in Squaw Valley. -- Egil

US Flag incorrect

A 50 star US flag is shown in the medal table. This is incorrect - the US flew a 49-star flag from July 4 1959 until July 3 1960. [[User:Grutness|Grutness ^talk ]] 02:10, 9 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Nordic events

Talk amongst the Tahoe locals [1] is that the Nordic events were held at Sugar Pine Point State Park and surrounding environs. Bandy 17:31, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Incorrect facts

• The first televised winter games was the 1956 games. See [2] from the IOC for proof. H1nkles (talk) 16:38, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
• Giuliana Chenal-Minuzzo recited the athlete's oath at the 1956 Games. She was the first woman to do so per this link also from the IOC [3]. I will change these discrepencies.
• Squaw Valley ski area is located in Olympic Valley, CA, not Squaw Valley, CA. Squaw Valley, CA is in central California, near Fresno. A simple check on the Squaw Valley Ski Corp. web site (www.squaw.com/contact-squaw-valley-usa) will clearly show their address as Squaw Valley Ski Corporation, P.O. Box 2007, 1960 Squaw Valley Road, Olympic Valley CA 96146. Why do the guardians of this entry insist in using the wrong city for the famous resort's address?

Just dropping in, leads are not supposed to have references unless quotes or controversial BLP statements are in the lead, so the article's fine in that regard. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 15:05, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

Comment by Ryan Vesey
This is ridiculous. WP:LEADCITE makes it clear that inline citations are only necessary in the lead if it is a BLP. Ryan Vesey Review me! 15:06, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

Passed the article because everything else is fine.--Dom497 (talk) 15:09, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

Wonderful! Thank you for your review. H1nkles (talk) _{citius altius fortius} 15:54, 26 August 2011 (UTC)
