Talk:Olympic Games

Review

Hey there! This article is quite well-written overall, but I had a few comments to make. :) I hope they aren't too much!

• The IOC is also responsible for choising what sports are in the games. <- "choising"? Perhaps you meant "choosing".

   Fixed

• Olympia, Greece has to be created.

• The origin of these Olympics is shrouded in mystery and legend. <- perhaps you can link legend? Also, "shrouded" seems rather unsimple (even if it does seem to be in the list of Basic English words).

• Link javelin throws, please.

• Panagiotis Soutsos must be created.

• Panathenaic stadium has to be made a blue link.

• "These games were unfair in nature since only Men could compete" <- I don't understand this. Isn't the Olympic Games only supposed to be for "Men"? So why is it unfair? And why is the "M" capital? Explanation, please. :)

• British Olympic Association is a red link.

• International Olympic Charter is a red link as well.

• Wenlock Olympian Games - ditto.

• Crystal Palace, please create.

• Panathinaiko Stadium, as well.

• Sorbonne is a red link, too...

• And so is Demetrius Vikelas.

• And Konstantinos Zappas.

• And George Averoff

• "Refurbishment" seems to be much to complex for my taste - can you replace it with a simpler word?

• "The Greek officials and public were excited about hosting these Games" <- this needs a reference.

• Olympiad - red link.

• 1921 Olympic Congress - as above.

• Jacques Rogge - create, please.

• International Federations - create.

• Sport governing body needs to be made too.

• FIVB is a red link.

• United States Olympic Committee is a red link.

• Winter Olympic bid scandal is a red link.

• "resignation" should be linked to wiktionary or simplified, as it seems complex to me.

• Bertrand Delanoë is a red link.

• British Prime Minister is a red link.

• Bids for the 2006 Winter Olympics is a red link.

• "shrouded in controversy" might be unsimple for our readers.

• Marc Holder is a red link also.

• There is no such article as Olympic symbols.

• Olympic rings is a red link.

• Olympic motto is a red link.

• Olympic mascot is a red link.

• Olympic games ceremony is a red link.

• A lot of references are invalid, and should be fixed.

Well, there are much more red links and hard words, but I unfortunately don't have time to write more comments. I hope these are addressed soon! Love, Bella ^{tête-à-tête} 09:26, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

Removed main page links which do not exist

I've removed all of the main page links which do not have a valid link. There is no need to link to non-existent articles.
Also I think that there are far too many red links for this article. --Leaderboard (talk) 13:43, 15 January 2015 (UTC)

WHY QD?

Why? Seriously? This is notable and shows no signs of vandalism. Elytrian - Talk 06:16, 12 August 2021 (UTC)

Sorry @Elytrian:, it was a bad manipulation. —Eihel (talk) 08:20, 14 August 2021 (UTC)
