Talk:2002 Commonwealth Games Progressive Overall Medal Count

The medal tallies in this page are out of date. I think they actually relate to the situation after the 1998 Games! Pretty sure they don't include the Manchester results. jkm 06:52, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

What makes you think that? Robdurbar 18:09, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Look for example at the Cayman Islands - they won their only bronze in Manchester, and this is in the list Robdurbar 11:04, 26 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Australia for instance. We were told we won our 700th Gold Medal during the Melbourne Games, and I'll give you the Australian Golds by year (from Wiki) as an example 1930 3 (Cumulative TOTAL - 3); 1934 8 (11); 1938 24 (35); 1950 34 (69); 1954 20 (89); 1958 27 (116); 1962 38 (154); 1966 23 (177); 1970 36 (213); 1974 29 (242); 1978 24 (266); 1982 39 (305); 1986 40 (345); 1990 52 (397); 1994 87 (484); 1998 80 (564); 2002 82 (646); 2006 84 (730). Which is 87 more than is in the all-time page, which suggests to me that maybe the results from the 1994 games are the ones that are missing from this-all time Tally? Have you checked? I am actually going through and compiling medal tallies for all the Games, after each edition, so that there is an easy way to find out how the Overall Medal Tally has stood after each games, precisely so this sort of mistake will not be made. Might take me a while though, have to account for the fact that most Commonwealth Countries have changed their flag since 1930 or even 1950! jkm 08:09, 27 March 2006 (UTC)


 * That would be rahter helpful, cheers - it may well exclude a games. To be honest, I just created this through adding up over wikipedia so its possible I missed a games. Robdurbar 09:12, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Do the "Samoa" and "Western Samoa" medals refer to the same ones, or are they split before/after the name change ? If the former, let's just get rid of one line, if the latter, surely they should be merged into a joint line. fchd 16:35, 26 March 2006 (UTC)


 * I'm not use about this one! Robdurbar 09:12, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
