[edit] FlagIOC usage
Hi Jonel, welcome back. I noticed in your new pages that you put extra spacing around the NOC name when you use the flagIOCxxx templates. Is that intentional? The effect is to render the IOC code with spacing between it and the parenthesis, plus put an extra space (in addition to the nbsp from the template) between the name and the flag For example:
- {{flagIOCmedalist | Joe Schmo | USA | 1964 Summer}} renders as
Joe Schmo
United States ( USA )- and
- {{flagIOCmedalist|Joe Schmo|USA|1964 Summer}} renders as
- Joe Schmo
United States (USA)

- The condensed form is a pain to work with in the edit window, is all. Hadn't realized it had that effect on output; I'll not use the extraneous spaces from here on out. -- Jonel | Speak 03:07, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Canoeing at the 1964 Summer Olympics - Men's C-1 1000 metres
Hi again. Before you create many more pages in 1964 canoeing, might I request that you take a look at what I did for the 2004 pages? (for example: Canoeing at the 2004 Summer Olympics - Men's C-1 1000 metres). To be honest, I have trouble with your event page format. I find the colors very distracting, especially since they span the whole line and often the whole table. WP:WAI suggests using color sparingly. Also, the tables for multiple heats don't line up together. On the 2004 page, I use a table to get alignment across multiple races, but I don't display the table lines. The result is quite clean, in my opinion (but then again, I could be accused of "not invented here syndrome"). I'm just suggesting you consider that format. Thanks, Andrwsc 00:54, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
- Sure, no problem. I've started to care less and less about format--coming to the realization that what I like in a results display doesn't seem to match very well what most other people like. Also, the style seems to undergo a massive alteration at least every two years... only 625 or so more days to go before the next big crush of new editors with their own tastes. I'll stick to data, that tends to last longer (even accounting for things like this diff). Feel free to make any changes, I'll try to catch on and keep new pages in whatever the most modern style is. -- Jonel | Speak 03:14, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

- Ok, great! Your point about the "next big crush of new editors" is spot-on. I think that's why I've been on such a mission lately. My biggest peeve is that we have so many styles on the Olympic pages. I'd like to have everything done consistently so that when that crush arrives, we can simply tell those people to "do it like all those other pages". It would be harder for them to introduce something new when there were literally thousands of pages all formatted the same way. Or so I hope.... Andrwsc 05:58, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Larissa Latynina
Can you please rewrite the sentence that you added here. It is difficult to understand that line. Tintin (talk) 03:14, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
- I think it's significant and should be mentioned that she won a medal in every Olympic event she competed in over the course of 3 editions of the Olympic Games. I've revised the sentence, hopefully it's easier to understand now. -- Jonel | Speak 03:40, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

In fact they are not only encyclopedic but fact. If you knew the guy, maybe you would know that they are the truth, nothing but the truth so help you God.
