Individual pursuit - Olympic Games
Hi there,

You seem to be mistaken about the status of individual pursuit in the Olympic Games. Here's proof that it is not an Olympic event at the present time.

Cycling at the Summer Olympics Cycling at the Summer Olympics Both tables show that the individual pursuit was removed from the Olympics after 2008.

Cycling at the 2012 Summer Olympics Cycling at the 2016 Summer Olympics In both years, the Olympic events (for both genders) were keirin, omnium, sprint, team sprint and team pursuit. No mention of the individual pursuit in either case.

The 2012 track cycling programme is also shown on the official IOC website. Again, no mention of the individual pursuit in that group (though it is part of Olympic history).

The individual pursuit has of course been held within the omnium (which is not the same as being an Olympic event in its own right) - however, even that is no longer the case. Whether or not it returns to the Olympics (as a separate event) in Tokyo 2020 remains to be seen - until then, it is not an Olympic event.

How not to do things

 * If you have a question about a process on Wikipedia, there is all sorts of help available to you, for example, the link to the teahouse at the top of this very page. The folks there are very knowledgable and can help you with whatever questions you may have about uploading images. Yelling about it on the talk page is unlikely to result in a positive outcome.


 * If you disagree with another users' edits, calmly explain yourself, as you can see another user has also done right here on your talk page. SCREAMING IN ALL CAPS and calling other users obscene names is also unlikely to result in a positive outcome, in fact it is exactly the sort of thing that you can be blocked for.

Hope that helps. Beeblebrox (talk) 20:31, 23 October 2016 (UTC)

Personal attacks
If you can't find a better way to express yourself than through personal attacks and ALL CAPS harassment you will be blocked with no further warnings. -- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 17:19, 13 January 2017 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at 2018–19 UEFA Champions League, you may be blocked from editing. Qed237&#160;(talk) 11:12, 13 May 2017 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Rising Star (Season 1)


The article Rising Star (Season 1) has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern:
 * Empty and completely unsourced article with no evidence of passing WP:GNG.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Flag for Grand Prix Of The Americas
Please stop adding the American Flag alongside the Texan Flag for the Grand Prix Of The Americas. There should be one flag representing each race, not two.

The reason the Texan flag is being used is that we are trying to re-establish the flag system used for countries where there are multiple races:


 * For GP's that include a country name, we use that country's national flag.


 * For GP's that do not include a country name, we use the flag of the state / province/ region / etc. in which the circuit is situated.

So, for the United States Grand Prix, we use the 🇺🇸 Flag of the United States; for the Grand Prix of the Americas, we use the Flag of Texas; and for the Indianapolis Grand Prix, we use the  Flag of Indiana.

It makes it a lot easier to distinguish races held in the same country in the same season from each other.

This system has worked successfully for years for the Spanish races. And after years of it being ignored for other countries, we are now trying to enforce it for them.

So, please respect this.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at Katerina Sakellaropoulou. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to lose their editing privileges. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to result in loss of your editing privileges. Thank you. Dr.  K.  08:00, 24 January 2020 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Katerina Sakellaropoulou, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Dr.  K.  08:01, 24 January 2020 (UTC)
