 * File:Olympictorche-Berlin.jpg is PD in the US but perhaps not elsewhere. Am I right in thinking that this makes it ineligible for Main Page inclusion? violet/riga [talk] 19:11, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I think this pic would not look good at 100px. --PFHLai (talk) 22:15, 2 August 2012 (UTC)
 * True, but a crop could work. violet/riga [talk] 23:08, 2 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Olympics current event.svg This is an Olympics-related DYK nom. It would be nice to see this hook on MainPage before the 2012 Games are over. Can this nom be reviewed soon, please? Thanks. --PFHLai (talk) 22:15, 2 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg Sorry to be a complete pain in the ass, but there's one line which is uncited (despite how obvious it is to any Olympic boffins!) - "sufficient for it to be replicated in all Games thereafter" needs to have a citation for it. Once that's done I'll give the references a double check once I'm home tonight (doing this during my lunchbreak at work) and it should be good to go. I'm pretty sure I've seen a fair few images avaliable for the '36 torch relay which should be copyright expired - I'll double check this as well as it'd be nice to have an image to go with this hook as it's quite a significant moment in Olympic history.

 * I will try to find a source this evening but the DYK should be able to go ahead without this. violet/riga [talk] 12:35, 4 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Done. violet/riga [talk] 17:22, 4 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Can this cropped version be used do we think? violet/riga [talk] 12:11, 5 August 2012 (UTC) Olympictorche-Berlin-crop-100px.jpg
 * Symbol confirmed.svg The issues with this nom have been resolved. I am boldly merging this nom with Template:Did you know nominations/Walter Lemcke to create a dual hook. Credits have been copied there. I will close this nomination template as "passed". --Orlady (talk) 16:31, 7 August 2012 (UTC)
