Talk:2002 Winter Olympics

New article name standard
I moved this article to the common Olympic names format "(Year) (Season) Olympics", but I haven't moved the subpages, because I want them to become real pages, not subpages. As I do not yet have a suitable name that I like, I'll do this when I've found one. Jeronimo 04:20 Aug 5, 2002 (PDT)

Breakup into subpages
(moved from Talk:2002 Winter Olympic Games)

Is it necessary to break this up into sub-pages? The Games are an event of pre-determined duration with a finite set of medal winners that are best viewed on a single page. ---User:Eclecticology

The reason to break it up into subpages is because the single page was getting much too long. What makes it "best viewed on a single page"? It makes sense to have a summary count on the front page, but at least to me having several windowlengths of information doesn't best give the information. --The Cunctator

Extreme sports US-centered?
(moved from Talk:2002 Winter Olympic Games)

This was removed as being "US-centered":


 * A feature of this Olympics has been the emergence of the so-called "extreme" sports, such as snowboarding, moguls and aerials, which appeared in previous Olympics but have captured public attention this year as never before.

I restored it. It seems true to me that these sports, which are relatively new to the Olympics, are receiving more attention than they did four years ago. (I'm not particularly a fan of these sports; it just seems to me that it's an appropriate observation.) If someone could explain why this is a "US-centered" remark, please do. -- User:RjLesch


 * I don't know about it being US-centric, but how has it captured the public's attention as never before?--branko


 * More people participate in these sports than before--particularly snowboarding. Funnyhat 22:26, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)

NSSE
"The Office of Homeland Security (OHS) designated the Olympics a National Special Security Event (NSSE), which made the United States Secret Service in charge of security."

This statement is in factual contradiction with statements at National Special Security Event, where it's indicated that the United States SS is responsible only for coordinating the tasks of federal agencies. I don't know which is correct.

The statement was on the first one. The Secret Service was in charge of security. -- SNIyer12, (talk), 03:57 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Slogan
I think we should put the slogan of the games in> "Light the Fire Within" tdwuhs

Outrageous!
Who the idiot had forgotten Samppa Lajunen's achievements?

Biased Speech
The Utah Alcohol Laws section is written as if someone is clearly opposed to the laws in Utah. This shouldn't sound biased. - 144.35.240.140 (talk) 18:25, 13 December 2017 (UTC)
