[edit] Puerto Rico
I just noticed that PR was addewd to the nations list. Is this true that it is its onw nation, or does it participate under the U.S.? --Jared [T]/[+] 13:06, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
- Well, considering it is listed on its own in the medals table, I would say they go on their own. Mariano(t/c) 13:39, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Naming convention
I'm a little surprised to see so little talk page activity here, but this seems a natural place to ask. Someone I've been keeping an eye on has changed all instances of 2007 Pan American Games to 2007 Panamerican Games. Has the exact wording ever been discussed anywhere? They changed that page, and almost every page linking to it, so I don't want to go to the trouble of reverting them if it turns out they might be right. But I've never seen it that way before. Has this been discussed before? In any case, am I correct that the proper name is Pan American Games, not Panamerican Games? --barneca (talk) 19:03, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
- I have never seen these Games listed as "Panamerican". Spend 60 seconds with Google and you'll see the same thing. My guess is that the other editor might not be a native English speaker, and is using his/her translation of the Spanish "Panamericanos", perhaps. Feel free to boldly move those pages back, and if this turns into a dispute, let me know. I don't think any discussion is required here; every verifiable English language source you're likely to find agrees on "Pan American". — Andrwsc (talk · contribs) 20:11, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
