[edit] 2020 Paralympics
Do we know if the 2020 Paralympic Games will be hosted in the same city that hosts the 2020 Olympic Games? I don't know which year the IPC agreement with the IOC goes up to. I feel that info on this could be included with this article and/or we can start a page for the 2020 Paralympics. --MusicGeek101 (talk) 20:29, 13 September 2011 (UTC)
[edit] Bids which did not go to application section
To clear up any misunderstanding or difference of ideas, feel free to discuss this issue here. I have reverted edits in the bids which did not go to application section for a few reasons:
1) The section Potential cities overview on the page 2016 olympic bids looks like how I arranged the section on this page. I have done this to keep consistency and follow precedent. 2) It is easier to look at and its easier to find information without reading a detailed description. These are after all, cities/NOCs that did not bid.

- Hello! Just to clarify, I originally posted at #Ignoring Manner of Style in Bids which did not go to application section at the bottom of this page. With regards to the above:
- 1. Granted, but Bids for the 2012 Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games and Bids for the 2008 Summer Olympics do not have bullet lists, but prose instead. So there isn't one precedent here. Furthermore, I think the 2008/2012 articles do a better job (if you don't mind me saying!).
- 2. The problem with the list is that it can be less clear than the prose. As I say below, flag icons can be confusing and can look very similar on low resolution screens (eg on a small screen, how is someone who does not know what country Brisbane is in able to tell that it is in
and not 
? Or that Bucharest is in 
and not 
or 
? And do we expect people to instantly recognsie the difference between 
, 
and 
?).
- Prose is better in an encyclopedia than a bullet list if possible. I'm not going to keep pushing this too much, but I do think that having a concise description is better than a list. --Pretty Green (talk) 16:50, 13 September 2011 (UTC)
Re:
Inserted the names of the countries to avoid flag confusion. Clicking on flag will take reader to page on the country. --MusicGeek101 (talk) 20:16, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Euro 2016 - Denmark
Here it says that Denmark is bidding for the Euro football championships with Sweeden in 2016, yet if we look at that page, it says that the Bid is Sweeden and Norway??? TJ 16/04/07 16.34 UTC
[edit] Saint Petersburg
Valentina Matvienko, Peter's mayor said in july 2007 that St. Petersburg hoped to host the games of 2020...“We will not put off these plans. Certainly, we will not apply for hosting the Games of 2016, because we understand: there exists a principle of continents’ rotation. But we will definitely apply for the next Olympics,” said she.[1] [2]. I'm certain that St. Petersburg will bid for 2020 games.
