Talk:1896 Paris–Roubaix

http://cyclinginfo.co.uk/blog/classics/paris-roubaix-the-queen-of-the-classics/ I can dig a little extra info from here, but not sure if it counts as a good enough source Megodbike (talk) 14:50, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm not acquainted with that source, but with these old races we need to use what we find... Here's a source for the result tables; The-Sports.org, and here's an official source of all the race winners; LeTour.fr. lil2mas (talk) 15:26, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

Flag variations
Remember that some nations, like Germany and Italy, have had different flags during the last century. So Josef Fischer of Germany should be shown like this: 🇩🇪 Josef Fischer (GER), while Luigi Ganna of Italy should be shown like this: 🇮🇹 Luigi Ganna (ITA). lil2mas (talk) 15:26, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
 * When did the flags change, ie. Where can I find all this info? Megodbike (talk) 15:37, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
 * The most correct way to do it is to search through the flag of Germany or flag of Italy articles. But you could look at the corresponding Olympic articles, to get a hunch of what it was around that year (ie. 1896 Summer Olympics). To look at all the available flags, and what "label" to use, look at: Template:Country data Italy and Template:Country data Germany. Hope this helps. lil2mas (talk) 16:34, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
