2008 Summer Olympics medal table
Please stop adding your WP:Original research to this article. You may think it is "fairer", but that is irrelevant. You cannot add information to an article that does not come from WP:Reliable sources. Thanks — Andrwsc (talk · contribs) 21:41, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

Hello,

It's not original research at all because that method of ranking was used in most western Europe countries before those Summer Olympics. It's a whole lot less absurd than the chinese ranking method that makes silver and bronze medals worthless. Anyway if you want to abide stubbornly by chinese standards, do.

Sincerely yours,

 * It's original research until you can find reliable references that offer those numbers for the 2008 Games. Did you get those numbers from somebody's website, or did you do the calculations yourself?  The IOC has used this ranking system for many, many, years, so it is hardly a "chinese standard".  — Andrwsc (talk · contribs) 21:54, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

Hello,

You may find those numbers on the website of the french sports daily "L'Equipe". I call these standards chinese standards because no one used that ranking method before those Summer Olympics.

Sincerely yours,

Hello,

There also exists a very good freeware which displays the rankings using a 4-2-1 method : http://www.pixelie.com/jotom/index.htm I may add that there are north american people who stand for this ranking method, e.g. : http://www.sftext.com/radioprotection/indice_sportif.html

Sincerely yours,

 * L'Equipe seems to show the same ranking as most non-US media (http://www.lequipe.fr/Jo/TAB_MEDAILLES.html), which agrees with the Wikipedia article. I guess L'Equipe also stubbornly follow the Chinese standards.  Your "freeware" link is likely not going to be considered a WP:reliable source by the editors of that article.  You might want to read all the comments on the talk page before re-inserting that content.  — Andrwsc (talk · contribs) 22:04, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Goupil libertin. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Goupil libertin~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 00:09, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
