Speed skating?[edit]

No long-track speed skating at all. Can anyone fix? 206.126.83.31 (talk) 14:44, 9 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That seems to have been vandalism, which I've reverted.--T. Anthony (talk) 15:00, 9 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Reason for squinty fonts?[edit]

Is there a reason to have important information in a table as "font-size:90%"? It may look pretty, I suppose, but it's harder for me to read. Adjusting my browser's zoom would mean that I would have to keep adjusting it up and down between tables and paragraphs. Is there some kind of MOS reason for this font size change? Kolindigo (talk) 05:27, 17 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Brian McKeever?[edit]

I know what the source says, and I created his article, but I'm pretty sure Natalie du Toit and Natalia Partyka competed in the Paralympics before they ever competed in the Olympics. I remember following du Toit's story a bit. Possibly they meant it's the first time in the Winter Olympics.--T. Anthony (talk) 05:07, 9 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe they mean the first MAN. --Kvasir (talk) 22:32, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Did McKeever actually compete? there is no record of him competing in anything on the official olympic website —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bevstarrunner (talk • contribs) 02:09, 1 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

According to his Wikipedia article, he did not compete. — Twas Now ( talk • contribs • e-mail ) 02:13, 1 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Beware ambiguous links[edit]

Just fixed a few wikilinks e.g. Michael Douglas (skeleton racer) as opposed to the US celebrities Mike Douglas or Michael Douglas. There may be other links which point to inappropriate similarly-named people. Dl2000 (talk) 18:34, 14 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]


Own the podium[edit]

This needs to be expanded. Its only two lines right now - far smaller the the section on the much cheaper hockey uniforms. The U.S. coverage is mentioning it every time a Canadian fails to medal. Surely it must be getting Canadian coverage as well. (I have to watch U.S. because CBC isn't carrying it this year.) 75.41.110.200 (talk) 05:18, 22 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Own the Podium – 2010‎ has its own article for years now. --Kvasir (talk) 17:02, 22 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Medal dates[edit]

There should be a column in the table showing the dates each medal was won. NorthernThunder (talk) 10:49, 22 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think it is especially important myself... though for consistency, if they are added here, they should be added across all national articles. Resolute 15:30, 22 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
For the record, they do include dates at the United States at the 2010 Winter Olympics page. -- Scorpion0422 21:27, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Canada has a 2nd Bronze Medal. Rochette won it at figure skating, thus uping Canada's total to 12. GoodDay (talk) 18:23, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not yet. That was only the ladies short program. The medals are handed out after tomorrow's free skate. Resolute 18:26, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Okie Dokie. PS- luv their outfits. GoodDay (talk) 18:37, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Why was it changed to sort by date won? No reason given either and it needs to be uniform throughout the countries.--Snickers696969 (talk) 06:17, 25 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No reason given, they were mis-ordered after the first four medals, and they don't match the other... How many "Canada at the #### Season Olympics" pages...? Thus, I've reverted it. 161.184.176.240 (talk) 09:13, 25 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Other participation[edit]

Like in the Canada at the 2006 Winter Olympics article, this section will have list of Canadian citizens competed for other countries. As for other non-competition involvement (other than hosting), i'm not sure there's any? --Kvasir (talk) 18:19, 25 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

List of Canadian citizens representing other national teams.

I'm pretty sure Dale Begg-Smith is a canadian citizen also.. but I cannot back that up with any hard evidence Bevstarrunner (talk) 08:31, 13 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I haven't been able to find source for it either. Many sources I've read said he "traded in" Canadian citizenship for Australian, but that can't be a literal account (especially in the cse of Canada and Australia). It didn't say Begg-Smith renounced Canadian citizenship either. --Kvasir (talk) 15:15, 17 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

TOTAL MEDAL Correction needed[edit]

For some reason the coding for the total # of freestyle gold medals shows "2" but the live page shows "3".....and so the column total is correctly 12 at the bottom but the numbers in the column add up to 13. Can't seem to fix this as the preview for my change shows it correct but when I save the pge it does not correct it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.208.60.52 (talk) 22:28, 27 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Got it fixed —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.208.60.52 (talk) 22:31, 27 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
