Talk:1948 Winter Olympics

Images
There are seven images used in this article. None whatsoever are free. Over and above the fact that that would be a dealbreaker at FAC, what's the justification for most of them? I can see, perhaps, the pied face, and maybe one of the brochures, but not for all the magazine covers. What's the rationale? The article would not be significantly weakened if most of them were removed. ~ Why is the medal count different in 1948 Winter Olympics and 1948 Winter Olympics medal count?

Differing silver count
Does anyone know why there were 22 gold/bronze medals, but 24 silver medals awarded? (See 1948_Winter_Olympics_medal_table). 61.68.107.225 (talk) 13:17, 24 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Never mind, I solved it through some analysis of the raw stats. Two bronze medals were awarded in the Men's Downhill Slalom (+1 bronze) and then 3 silvers and no bronze were awarded in the 500m speed skating (+2 silver, -1 bronze which offsets the previously mentioned medal). 61.68.107.225 (talk) 13:30, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

Inconsistency with infobox & navbox
The infobox has the 1936 games as these games predecessor. Yet the navbox has the cancelled 1944 games as these games predecessor. GoodDay (talk) 08:29, 23 February 2018 (UTC)
