[edit] New Article

Good call on creating this article, fits in well with what would be an ideal sturcure for the Olympics pages Robdurbar 14:47, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] BMX/OWS?

Apparently BMX bike racing and open-water swimming are added as Olympic events starting in 2008. Is there any word on the London venues for these sports? Radagast 22:22, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Changes to Olympic Park Masterplan!

I just heard from a recent news report that the plans for the London Olympic Park have been revised! Several sports venues have been moved to different locations.

The new plan will consist of:

The Olympic Stadium The Aquatics Centre The Athletes Village Handball Arena

• Basketball Arena
• Fencing Hall
• Velodrome
• BMX Track
• Paralympic Tennis and Archery
• MPC/IBC

(*-the venue has moved to a different location)

In addition to that, Volleyball has moved to Earls Court. Jim856796 00:04, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Marathon

Has the route of the marathon been decided? If so it would be good to include an outline. Same goes for walking events etc.--MarkyParky 11:47, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

The London 2012 website's interactive map has a dotted line on it to illustrate the Marathon Route, but the details are far from precise. Safe to say it will take in some of Central Londons most recognisable landmarks, but I don't think we should go adding details until theres something more concrete.

[edit] Windsor Park?

Can't find reference to WP on www.london2012.com, other than in a report dated 2004. The candidate file submitted doesn't mention it in the football venues so I suspect it's been struck off the final list. 193.118.251.61 17:30, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Newoldtrafford.jpg

Image:Newoldtrafford.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Baseball and Softball

Are these sports out of the program permanently or just for the 1012 Games. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chandlerjoeyross (talk • contribs) 12:11, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

They can be re-added for future games, but this would require a majority vote from the members of the IOC (I think!) Paulbrock (talk) 15:19, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
