Singapore-area contributors? 2010 Youth Summer Olympics

Hello: If you are in the Singapore area, I am hoping to get some people accredited as reporters, for the 2010 Summer Youth Olympics. Visit Wikinews' project area to submit your name, and be considered for our official bid. -- Zanimum (留言) 2010年3月22日 (一) 14:55 (UTC)

Adding United Arab Republic to Template:FlagIOC

How do I add the IOC code of RAU to the above template for the 1960 Summer Olympics? IE {{flagIOC|RAU|1960}}. Thanks. Lugnuts (talk) 10:17, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

We decided some time ago to not use pre-standard country codes, but to consistently use the current codes for all years to prevent confusion. for example, Japan at the 1960 Summer Olympics uses JPN, not GIA. So in this case, use {{flagIOC|EGY|1960 Summer}}. The RAU country code can be displayed ih the infobox, which I have just added. — Andrwsc (talk · contribs) 10:44, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

Thanks - I defaulted it to Egypt in the first instance. Lugnuts (talk) 12:29, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

RFC: Notability of Youth Olympic Games events

This is an RFC opened in response to a deletion discussion regarding the events of the Youth Olympic Games, which was closed as no consensus, in order to determine whether such events are notable enough to have their own articles. All comments are welcome. :| TelCoNaSpVe :| 06:04, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

Notice placed at Wikipedia talk:Notability (sports). --Tryptofish (talk) 16:11, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

There was a previous discussion of how WP:NSPORT should be applied, at Wikipedia talk:Notability (sports)/Archive 6#Youth Olympic Games. --Tryptofish (talk) 16:14, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

I certainly think that all events at these Olympics are notable as history articles but not as news event articles. Let me clarify what I mean by an example: there should probably not be a page on the 10k race walk at the "insert particular date" Youth Olympic games, but there should be a page on the 10k racewalk at the youth Olympic games that documents the race history over the years. If there is a particular event that is notable it can get a stand alone article by passing WP:GNG. MATThematical (talk) 19:27, 4 December 2010 (UTC)

Template:Country flag IOC alias GDR

Hello. Can anyone explain, why is the flag of United German team used during 1968 Games? To my mind, there should be the flag of the German Democratic republic --VovanA (talk) 20:05, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

According to photographs in the 1968 official report, the "United Team flag" was used at those Games. — Andrwsc (talk · contribs) 20:16, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

International Olympic Movement

International Olympic Movement has been prodded for deletion... maybe it should redirect somewhere? 64.229.101.17 (talk) 06:26, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
