[edit] Header

Shouldn't you guys change the header? Remove Beijing? 'Cause it's over? Thanks, Genius101 ^Guestbook 21:52, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

That will probably not be removed until another host city is selected by the IOC. Currently, only the hosts of the three next Games have been announced. The host of the 2016 Olympics will be choosen in October 2009--so it will be awhile before it's changed. Cheers-Cbradshaw (talk) 22:53, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Flags

The flag used for Canada at the 1912 Summer Olympics is not the flag Canada used at the opening ceremony in 1912. Please see the image added to the article. Also you can see in the background the team of Australasia and they have also not used the flag shown in the article Australasia at the 1912 Summer Olympics? Anybody knows more?

[edit] Photo straw poll on Olympics

User_talk:YellowMonkey#Straw_poll_for_selecting_photos_of_Australia_at_the_2008_Summer_Olympics

I went to an Olympics welcome home parade in Australia and took a lot of photos. I took multiple photos of the same people and so I created a poll so that anyone can vote on which photo they think is the best.

[edit] references in the 1896 olympics

in some articles of the sports at the 1896 olympics there are some references of a digital document who can be read in the site

http://www.aafla.org/6oic/OfficialReports/1896/1896.pdf

Although the site who host that document was created for the 1984 olympics, the document itself has some errors since by reading the info from the IOC site one can see that the 1896 olympics took place between

Opening date: 06 April 1896

Closing date: 15 April 1896

and in that document stated as reference (which has many good information, no doubt about it) the first day of that olympics was on 25th march 1896, something surely are not right. Can that reference continue on the site although has wrong info? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bproof (talk • contribs) 19:31, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

Ah, but April 6, 1896 is March 25, 1896. At least, when the former is in the Gregorian calendar and the latter is in the Julian calendar. -- Jonel (Speak to me) 22:07, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

many thanks for that useful info, Jonel ;)Bproof (talk) 22:19, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
