Re: Medal table
Hi! I'm not sure how to make sure you get the notification if I respond under my own talk page, so sending here. I appreciate your input, however, I would counterpoint that the work is indeed based upon the impartial source which is the upcoming match itself, which would show that there is no possible result possible other than the one indicated on the medal table. I of course understand the work needed on Wikipedia to ensure a lack of political influence, and I have reverted several of those edits on the medal table itself - however, I fail to see how merely putting on the correct result which is in the middle of play (when I had edited it, the match was ongoing) goes against that goal.

In most cases, I put in the summary the medal being won, or that was just won so as editors are able to check the history should there be any confusion. People are of course entitled to edit and correct, that is one of Wikipedia's core parts. But I fail to see which Wikipedia policy it goes against to edit the table in this correct manner. It's not similar to a soccer match, and individual country pages can be edited after the matches to show which athletes win which medal. It's not dictated by the medal table page itself when the individual country pages must be edited.

 * Hi. Indeed, I was not following your Talk page, or I would have seen updates. :) It's not about the Wikipedia policy. It's about the practicality of the Olympic games. Standings change many times per day. You seem to be following all the sports and are aware of the current or even upcoming standards. But I'm not and neither are many of the other users. The page references the source, which is the standings table. That is where we look. And, like I said, particularly around China (but also Russia) misinformation abounds, so we have to be sharp and base our knowledge on verifiable sources. So if users are not aware about a particular match being played at the time, they are aware of the source page, which is mentioned on the particular Wikipedia page. Now I hope you follow this page ;) Lafeber (talk) 09:33, 30 July 2021 (UTC)
