*The list is appropriate. I can not see any way in which the same information could be better presented, or any rationale for omitting it. It is a short article that seems to be supported by ''Olympische Spiele – Die Chronik'', a large work (it says "five volumes"); however, the reference is incompletely given (has neither an ISBN nor publisher's details). Some additional references to support individual points in the article would be desirable. Can we fix this, please? Rather than making the horse go through the whole course (i.e. FAC) again? I feel we would be wasting people's time a bit.

Promoted in May 2004, has also been featured on the main page. However, this article suffers from a lack of inline citations, subpar prose, and one gigantic list.
There have been very few edits to remedy this, and I feel that the article no longer meets FA standards. Morgan695 22:30, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
- I find this article to be difficult to follow. It seems to take basic information for granted. How large is this torch? Is the "Olympic Flame" the small torch carried by runners, the large structural torch within the stadium, or both? How is it made and what is it made of? What is its design? How does it remain lit? What kind of "priestessess" do they represent (Christian? Greek? generic?) and what is the story behind that ritual? What is "the cauldron"? Punctured Bicycle 23:25, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
- Yes, the article is very far from FA quality. CG 12:14, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
- As Punctured Bike points out, there's far too much information missing from this article. Near-lack of references is also a problem. Andrew Levine 15:27, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
