Rio de Janeiro bid for the 2016 Summer Olympics
Olá Parutakupiu! Que bom que falas português. Como já deve ter percebido meu inglês é intermediário, e as vezes, não me expresso muito bem. Eu gostaria de pedir sua ajuda para a finalização do artigo "Rio de Janeiro bid for the 2016 Summer Olympics", mais precisamente, a seção "Bidding project". Assim como nas outras duas seções, ela terá quatro parágrafos de tamanhos iguais com informações sobre o projeto da cidade. Os dois primeiros parágrafos seriam sobre o projeto olímpico em si, como a localização, as instalações, etc. O terceiro parágrafo seria sobre o projeto paraolímpico, e o último sobre as condições climáticas da cidade e informações adicionais. O problema é que não sei por onde eu começo, então estou pedindo ajuda. Se você aceitar o pedido, eu posso extrair as partes mais importantes do Candidate File e te dar algumas frases em português, para você montar o texto. Caso contrário vou tentar me virar. Abraços; Felipe ( talk ) 21:12, 7 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Olá João. É com muito gosto que ofereço a minha contribuição para este artigo que tens vindo a desenvolver tão aprofundadamente. Não fosse ser sobre um tópico ainda em decurso e quase que já estaria ao nível de um "featured article". Falo a sério. Deixo é desde já o aviso de que, apesar da minha genuína vontade em ajudar-te, não costumo ter muito tempo disponível durante as manhãs e tardes (entre as 5h00 e as 15h00, hora do Rio), por isso, tenta compreender se eu não puder responder logo de imediato aos teus pedidos.
 * O que tu pretendes, segundo percebi, é expandir essa secção com mais informação, retirada do ficheiro de candidatura, e organizá-la de forma coerente e fluida, correcto? Vou então dar uma olhadela ao artigo para ver o que posso fazer, e utilizarei a "talk page" do artigo para veicular quaisquer comentários e sugestões que ache necessário. Parutakupiu (talk) 23:24, 7 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Obrigado pela boa vontade! Sei que estamos em fusos horários diferentes e isto não é problema, tudo pode ser feito com calma, não temos data de entrega. O "esqueleto" do artigo está na talk page, assim você poderá compreender melhor a estrutura do texto. Qualquer dúvida ou dificuldade, basta falar comigo. Abraços; Felipe ( talk ) 03:40, 8 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Bom, ainda não reuní as informações e por agora não vou poder. Como é Semana Santa estarei ausente da Wikipédia, voltarei apenas na segunda-feira. Caso queira, pode pesquisar por conta própria ou então me esperar até a próxima semana. Quanto as referências, realmente nem todas equivalem as citações descritas. Isso se deve há um padrão que decidi estabelecer: cada parágrafo da introdução possui 5 referências, cada parágrafo das seções possui 10 referências e cada parágrafo das sub-seções possuem 20 referências. Como alguns tópicos não possuiam tantas referências diretas, resolvi colocar referências indiretas que tinham relação com a citação. No total serão 200 referências com a nova seção "Bidding project" e um novo parágrafo na introdução que será escrito após a eleição da cidade sede, e como eu calculei o artigo terá 100 kb. Abraços; Felipe ( talk ) 00:12, 10 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Parutakupiu, acho que não devemos tocar no artigo até o dia 2 de Maio, pois muitas reportagens serão publicadas com a visita do COI ao Rio de Janeiro,e ai eu vou ver exatamento o que eu vou fazer. Agora vou focar na reformulação dos templates olímpicos. Atenciosamente; Felipe ( talk ) 00:30, 15 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Tens razão. É melhor deixar a "onda passar". Cá esperarei novidades. Parutakupiu (talk) 00:32, 15 April 2009 (UTC)


Hello Parutakupiu! I am very interested to talk with you. How can I contact with you? I need some of your sports pictures to print them in a shirts. To sum up, I need your copyright. Thanks. Marc. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.147.94.146 (talk) 16:45, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Hello Marc. You can use the pictograms as much as you like because I released them into the public domain, thus they have no copyright. Cheers. Parutakupiu (talk) 17:50, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much! Your pictograms are very nice! Regards. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.23.167.139 (talk) 22:30, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

Olympic Games back up for FAC
I wanted to let you know that the Olympic Games article is back up for FAC. You were instrumental in helping it through the process (albeit unsuccessful) last time, I thought you might like to know that I'm making another go of it. Your help would be appreciated if you have the time. H1nkles (talk) 01:44, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

Chicago bid for the 2016 Summer Olympics GA
Thanks for being one of the many people who contributed to this article on its way to WP:GA status.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 17:12, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

Rio 2016
Olá Parutakupiu! A Comissão de Avaliação se foi, e é hora de concluir o artigo Rio de Janeiro bid for the 2016 Summer Olympics. Fiz algumas modificações no artigo, e agora falta apenas a seção "Candidature project". Bem, o primeiro parágrafo (sobre o Projeto Olímpico geral) está concluído. Faltam apenas os dois outros parágrafos, um sobre o Projeto Paraolímpico e um sobre os Locais de Competição. O existente parágrafo sobre as Paraolimpíadas deve ser modificado para cumprir com os padrões de qualidade e imparcialidade, além de que devem ser removidos os conceitos e adicionados questões técnicas. O parágrafo sobre clima deverá dar lugar à um parágrafo sobre os locais de competição. Este último eu farei, mas eu gostaria de pedir sua ajuda para elaborar o parágrafo sobre o projeto Paraolímpico, que deverá ter o mesmo tamanho do atual e 10 referências. Atenciosamente; Felipe ( talk ) 20:37, 7 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Oi João. Peço desculpa por não ter respondido até agora, mas estive de facto a alinhavar esse parágrafo sobre o projecto Paralímpico. Baseei-me sobretudo na secção correspondente do ficheiro de candidatura, por isso não tenho as tais 10 referências que querias. Mas, sinceramente, não vejo onde mais poderíamos encontrar informação detalhada e fidedigna, e não vejo necessidade de sobrecarregar um parágrafo pequeno com tanta referência. Podes ver a minha proposta aqui e deixar os comentários que achares pertinentes. Cumprimentos. Parutakupiu (talk) 23:27, 22 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Ficou ótimo! Existem algumas coisas mínimas que eu gostaria de mudar, mínimas, e só o farei quando você fizer a alteração no artigo principal. Afinal o texto é seu, é você que o deve postar. Quanto as referências, delas eu cuidarei. Obrigado pela ajuda! Atenciosamente; Felipe ( talk ) 23:57, 22 May 2009 (UTC)


 * OK. Alterações feitas. Entretanto, vou ver se faço uma revisão do texto, pois é nisso que tenho mais capacidade. Parutakupiu (talk) 00:20, 23 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Você conseguiria fazer uma revisão ortográfica/gramatical de todo o artigo? Já estou pensando na nomeação para Featured Article, e segundo os critérios, o artigo precisa ter uma prosa de padrão profissional e sem linguagem pobre. Bom, isto não é emergencial, e também posso pedir para outra pessoa. Agradeço novamente sua ajuda. Abraços; Felipe ( talk ) 00:47, 23 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Poder, até posso. Basta ter tempo. Não te garanto é uma revisão perfeita, até porque não sou especialista em ortografia e gramática, sobretudo em inglês, que não é a minha língua nativa. Vou ver isso, na mesma. Achas que seria sensato uma FAC tão cedo? Um dos critérios é a estabilidade do artigo (1e) e com ainda tantos desenvolvimentos por acontecer até 2 de Outubro, talvez fosse melhor esperar para depois desta data, não? Parutakupiu (talk) 00:59, 23 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Disse que estava pensando, não que o nomearia. :) Na verdade estou planejando tudo. Acho que o GA status será fácil (Talvez o artigo até já teria o status, caso o reviewer não tivesse viajado). Depois disso vou concluir o artigo (o último parágrafo e o template com o mapa dos locais de competição). Por sinal o mapa está dando trabalho, estou fazendo desde segunda-feira, contudo está ficando ótimo. Depois de concluir esta etapa, farei um Peer review. Depois de passar vou classificar o artigo como A-Class. Só depois vou checar todos os critérios do FA status e então nomeá-lo. Quanto a estabilidade mencionada por você, acho que não irá atrapalhar, pois essas mudanças ja estão programadas naquele esqueleto da talk page. Quanto a revisão gramatical não se preocupe, há tempo e também o Peer review vai melhorar o texto. Atenciosamente; Felipe ( talk ) 01:14, 23 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Ah, ok. Percebi mal. Sim, sim, estou vendo que tens tudo bem planeado. Estou confiante que esse mapa vai ficar mesmo bom; tu tens muito jeito para criar mapas e templates. Tenho gostado bastante de tudo o que vi até agora. Continuação de bom trabalho! Parutakupiu (talk) 01:27, 23 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Esqueci de avisar que removi a primeira frase do seu texto, pois é uma informação repetida. Ela já consta na introdução e também no último parágrafo da seção "Candidature concept". Falando nisso, você poderia reescrever a seguinte frase?
 * The period proposed by the ROCOG to stage the Olympics is from Friday, August 5, to Sunday, August 21, 2016.[77] It is proposed that the Paralympics commence seventeen days after the Closing Ceremony of the 2016 Summer Olympics with the 2016 Summer Paralympics Opening Ceremony on Wednesday, September 7, and the Games being conducted through to Sunday, September 18, 2016.
 * Me parece que há uma falta de coerência. Eu só gostaria que a frase continuasse com o mesmo tamanho. Atenciosamente; Felipe ( talk ) 01:44, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

Parutakupiu, acho que todas essas mudanças podem atrapalhar o GA Review. Elas ficaram boas, mas acho que só devemos alterar o artigo após o review. Eu vou reverter todas as edições (inclusive minhas) para a sua edição no parágrafo sobre o projeto Paraolímpico. Depois do review nós podemos reestabelecer as edições e melhorar o artigo. Atenciosamente; Felipe ( talk ) 21:53, 23 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Como queiras. Quando achares que é o momento ideal para aperfeiçoar a prosa dá-me um "toque". Não obstante, tenho um reparo a fazer: que eu saiba os OCOGs (Organizing Committees for the Olympic Games) são apenas constituídos após a eleição da cidade-sede das Olimpíadas. Por isso, não acho correcto, chamares "ROCOG" ao comité de candidatura do Rio 2016, quando ainda é apenas um comité de candidatura. Se vires no site oficial Rio 2016, o comité nunca se auto-intitula de ROCOG. Parutakupiu (talk) 22:02, 23 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Eu achei melhor adiar pelo seguinte pensamento: o reviewer gostou do artigo como era, então o GA status está praticamente garantido. Portanto vamos melhorar o artigo apenas para o FAC, entende? Quanto os OCOGs, realmente os comitês de candidatura não se auto-intitulam assim, mas o COI os chama dessa maneira no Working Group Report. Achei oportuno e funcional descrevê-los assim também. Atenciosamente; Felipe ( talk ) 23:31, 23 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Sim, sim, concordo com a tua linha de raciocínio. Vamos aguardar então a conclusão da GA review e depois embarcamos para esse patamar de melhoramento.
 * Penso que fizeste uma interpretação menos correcta daquilo a que o COI se refere quando fala em OCOGs nos relatório de avaliação. Hás-de reparar que esse termo é apenas usado na secção de Finanças, quer nesta campanha como em campanhas anteriores. Eles usam os termos "OCOG budget" e "non-OCOG budget" para se referirem aos orçamentos que as diferentes candidaturas prevêem para os seus OCOGs caso ganhem a eleição. Aliás, o COI indica o termo "OCOG" para todas as cidades candidatas, e sabemos que só hávera um OCOG. A minha opinião é que mais que uma questão de funcionalidade, devemos ser correctos a descrever as coisas. Mas é só a minha opinião. Cumprimentos. Parutakupiu (talk) 00:13, 24 May 2009 (UTC)


 * É verdade, só percebi isso agora. Como devemos chamá-los então? Felipe ( talk ) 15:41, 25 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Pela verdadeira designação: bid team ou bid committee. Parutakupiu (talk) 22:26, 25 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Não consigo encontrar uma tradução coerente para Comitê Organizador da Candidatura do Rio de Janeiro, a qual acho ser a melhor designação. O que achas? Felipe ( talk ) 23:26, 25 May 2009 (UTC)


 * É esse o nome? Pelo que vejo no site oficial é Comitê de Candidatura Rio 2016, que ficaria um simples Rio 2016 Bid Committee. Parutakupiu (talk) 23:35, 25 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Tudo bem, acho que devemos usar Rio de Janeiro Bid Committee (RBC). Contudo, podemos fazer uma votação no WP:OLYMPICS e só começar a mudar após o GA Review. Felipe ( talk ) 00:57, 26 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Feito, temos o GA status. Felipe ( talk ) 23:39, 27 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Óptimo. Parabéns... e mãos ao trabalho! Parutakupiu (talk) 23:41, 27 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Pena que Portugal ainda não pôs em prática a nova ortografia. Caso contrário não haveria este "p" mudo em ótimo. :) Bom, temos que nos organizar. Vou abrir uma seção na talk page no artigo para as reformas. Felipe ( talk ) 23:54, 27 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Ah, acredita que mesmo que a nova ortografia seja oficializada, os Portugueses vão continuar a escrever assim durante muito tempo. As mudanças custam a entranhar-se... ;) Parutakupiu (talk) 00:07, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

WikiProject Athletics
Thanks for signing up. I won't be asking too much of members, the biggest advantage will be a centralised forum for discussing pan-athletics article issues. I think I also owe you some kudos/an apology (delete as appropriate) because I stole some of the WikiProject design from WP Olympics – I believe you designed that, no? The Olympics WikiProject page is one of the best I've seen and (being completely useless in terms of code/syntax etc) it helped me out a lot in getting things sorted! I hope you don't mind. Cheers! Sillyfolkboy (talk) (edits) WIKIPROJECT ATHLETICS NEEDS YOU!  16:59, 16 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I know. I uselessly put too much pressure on my shoulders about something that shouldn't be stressing, but entertaining and pleasurable, like helping out a Wikiproject. As for the graphical layout, don't trouble your mind over it - I also "re-branded" it from another project! Good luck. Parutakupiu (talk) 17:20, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

Anabela
You helped me work on the Anabela article a few months ago. Now I've finally procured a picture from the Teatro Politeama, but I'm still waiting on their letter for OTRS (I should get it tomorrow morning). Take a look at the article and see the photo. :) Mike H. Fierce! 21:02, 26 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Hey, awesome (and huge!) photo. Btw, weren't you supposed to have an interview with her? How did it go? Cheers. Parutakupiu (talk) 21:10, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
 * It was supposed to be published before Eurovision but she didn't finish the questions until this past week. Now that I'm working full-time I'm hoping to have it published sometime in June. Mike H. Fierce! 06:58, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Rio de Janeiro bid for the 2016 Summer Olympics
Aquela seção estava muito extensa. Acho que não é mais necessário criar uma seção na Talk Page do artigo para fazer as novas mudanças. Bom, o que precisamos é de uma revisão ortográfica de todo o artigo. Para isso eu gostaria que você iniciasse pela primeira seção, em ordem. Eu vou atrás tentando ajustar algumas coisas. Depois da revisão eu terminarei o mapa, e então faremos um Peer Review. Atenciosamente; Felipe ( talk ) 00:06, 28 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Primeira secção? A lead, é o que te referes? Em relação à secção Candidature process, que eu já havia revisto, por favor, revertes para essa revisão, ou então copia o conteúdo dessa revisão para não passares por cima de correcções posteriores. Parutakupiu (talk) 00:18, 28 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Na verdade me referia a Candidature process, mas como você já revisou, continue com Candidature details. Enquanto você revisa o artigo eu vou concluir o mapa. Tem alguma estimativa de quanto tempo vai levar? Felipe ( talk ) 00:30, 28 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Err... algum. Perfecionista como sou, devo demorar algum tempo :P Como agora são 1:33 aqui, já não vou fazer muito além da lead. O resto, vou fazendo um bocadinho aqui e ali; espero ter tudo revisto durante o fim-de-semana. Parutakupiu (talk) 00:35, 28 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Óptimo! Acho que o mapa também estará pronto no fim-de-semana, portanto acho que o Peer Review poderá ser feito na próxima semana, mais precisamente no dia 2 de Junho. Já reestabeleci sua edição. Atenciosamente; Felipe ( talk ) 00:47, 28 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Nada ficou pronto no fim-de-semana afinal. Ocorreu algum problema com o mapa e não consegui carregá-lo. Atenciosamente; Felipe ( talk ) 16:51, 2 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Gostaria de saber se você já concluiu as revisões no artigo. Abraços; Felipe ( talk ) 19:40, 3 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Oi João. Para já sim. Tenho a certeza que muita coisa me terá escapado e ainda poderá ser melhorada, mas para isso é que serve o peer review. Parutakupiu (talk) 19:45, 3 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Apenas para notificar, mudei meu nome de usuário. Atenciosamente; Felipe Menegaz 20:49, 7 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Olá Parutakupiu! Gostaria de avisar que finalmente eu concluí o artigo Rio de Janeiro bid for the 2016 Summer Olympics, e nomearei um Peer review ainda hoje. Atenciosamente; Felipe Menegaz 21:53, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

Olympics Portal
Hey I noticed that you've done some editing (a while back) on the Olympic Portal. I was wondering how one gains the right to edit this portal? I've nominated a couple of DYKs for inclusion and I would like to be able to add more content as it meets GA or FA standards but I don't know how to become eligible to edit the content. Any help on this would be appreciated. H1nkles (talk) 19:04, 3 June 2009 (UTC)


 * H1nkles, you don't need any special permission to edit the portal. Even though it's a different namespace, it's just like any other editable page in Wikipedia. Edit away! This portal sure needs some editors :) Parutakupiu (talk) 19:08, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Ok thanks, it does seem somewhat stagnate but with so many projects going at once it's hard to know what to focus on. I'll tinker around.  H1nkles (talk) 19:12, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

Olympic pictograms
Hello, I noticed that you were the original creator of the ice hockey pictogram. Could you please take a look at this discussion where a user (near the bottom of the page) has expressed some concerns about the pictogram used. Could you please weigh in on it?

You would not have to do anything major (like looking for new refs, re-formatting, etc.), just minor things and enough to keep the noms open until I return. If you could, I would really appreciate it. Thanks, Scorpion 0422  15:46, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Peer review
Olá Parutakupiu! Para encontrar reviewers para o artigo Rio de Janeiro bid for the 2016 Summer Olympics (Peer review), eu procurei por Peer reviews concluídos de artigos do WikiProject Olympics.

Re:Replace infobox?
Thanks for improving that infobox. When I created it, I went the quick/lazy route with intentions of later improving it, but I forgot. The problem that was brought up about using pictograms in the lead (and I agreed) was that it gave the impression that they were official images although I agree that the pictograms work well. The best option would be to have an alternate option for an image. -- Scorpion <sup style="color:black;">0422  17:13, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Matti Närhi
Hi. I am searching for information about Finnish Ski Jumper Matti Närhi.

Matti was on the faculty of a college I attended in Michigan USA in 1965 - 1999. (He died approximately 1968 in a car accident.) Before 1965 he had been a Ski jumping medalist for Finland. I have been trying to update our information about his skiing accomplishments, but do not find him in the list of Olympic medalists.

Can someone give me information about Matti Närhi's skiing background?

Bandy
Dear Colleague! Could you make a logo Bandy, possibly through you make logos Ice hockey & Roller hockey? --Kolchak1923 (talk) 16:54, 5 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi there. From what I read about the sport, bandy is very much like ice hockey but with association football rules. In terms of what I can transpose into a specific pictogram, I don't see what I can change from the one that already exists for ice hockey... Do you have any suggestions? Parutakupiu (talk) 17:18, 5 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes there is. Take the logo Roller hockey and replace the rollers skates from Ice hockey logo. In Russian Bandy called hockey with ball (хоккей с мячом). Bandy is not in the washer and the ball and the other stick. See Bandy. --Kolchak1923 (talk) 19:44, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

WikiProject Olympics interview
Aloha! I am tasked with the Wikipedia Signpost report on WikiProject Olympics, to coincide with the 2010 Winter Olympics.

The big issue is that your conversions, while better than some I have seen, are still sloppy and inaccurate, and therefore degrade the logos they are intended to represent, and are basically hand (or computer) re-drawn knock offs of the originals. Since this is non-free content, and our display size is limited anyway, we really don't gain that much with SVG, especially if it means other inaccuracies are introduced (and could possibly be expanded and multiplied by the scalable nature of vector graphics). Thanks for your consideration. -Andrew c [talk] 17:18, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

Another request
Could you possibly make a vector version of the following image (File:Frederictonarms.jpg), and upload it under a proper fair use rationale? I think it would benefit its quality, as the current image has lots of lossy compression artifacts. Also, could you add the text to the Ostersund Olympic Bid logo from above? Thanks so much in advance. Connormah (talk | contribs) 04:00, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

Re:Ice hockey at the Olympic Games: an example!
Thank you, I try my best. I have to admit, I'm a bit disappointed that we didn't win in total medals, but hey, how can one complain about 14 golds? As for the hockey game, I was scared during the beginning of overtime because I thought the Americans had the advantage, but thank god for Sidney Crosby (that is the first, and possibly last time I'll ever say that). Either way, it's been a fun few weeks, and thanks for the barnstar. -- Scorpion <sup style="color:black;">0422  01:00, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

Great Britain at the 1992 Winter Paralympics
A discussion you may be interested in, regarding the notability of Great Britain at the 1992 Winter Paralympics, is currently taking place at Good article reassessment/Great Britain at the 1992 Winter Paralympics/1. I'm placing this note as article alerts are currently down. Basement12 (T.C) 16:16, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
 * On a related theme to the above are you aware of any previous discussion(s) that resulted in a consensus for all articles of the type "Nation at the year Olympics" being deemed notable for inclusion in Wikipedia? WP:ATHLETE says any athlete who has competed is automatically eligible for an article, meaning that any reliable source showing they competed is good enough as a reference for notability (even a source produced by the IOC). If it is WP:OLY policy for the by nation articles to be included (I believe this is the case) then I think it needs to be formailsed in a similar manner - Basement12 (T.C) 08:56, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

New sailing pictogram requested
Hello Parutakupiu, I hope you are well! It has been a long time since we have been in touch. A new editor has started to work on the Olympic sailing articles, and doesn't like File:Sailing pictogram.svg for the navigation boxes because it is anachronistic (windsurfing is only a very recent Olympic event). I agree; I think we need something more generic for all the sailing articles. Can you update the design with something more "traditional", but in the same spirit as your original design for the "stick figures"? Perhaps the pictogram from 1972 gives some inspiration; look at page 500 of the official report. It shows a sailor in a sitting/reclining position with a triangular sail behind him. Do you have time to help with this? Thanks — Andrwsc (talk · contribs) 18:47, 25 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Hey Andrwsc! I'm well, thank you. What about you? How's your kid!? Almost grown up, lol. When I read this request from you, I remembered I did make another version for that pictogram (File:Olympic pictogram Sailing.png). But as you see, it was still in raster format and with the older naming. I've converted it to vectorial format and replaced the current windsurfer image with it. Cheers! Parutakupiu (talk) 22:40, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

Bids for the 2016 Summer Olympics
Hi Parutakupiu! I want to make Bids for the 2016 Summer Olympics a Featured topic comprising other seven articles: Rio de Janeiro; Chicago, Madrid, Tokyo; Baku, Doha and Prague. However, it is difficult to do alone. I wonder if you could help, managing such an article (perhaps Madrid's) until it reaches the Featured article status. I am looking for others who might also help. Best regards; <b style="font-size:small; font-family:vivaldi; color:black;">Felipe Menegaz</b> 18:19, 4 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi Felipe. I'd love to help, honest I would. But I'm afraid I don't have the time I'd require to fully focus on driving one (or more) of those articles to featured status. Perhaps I can help occasionally here and there, if it's not too much, but not a full article on its own. I'm really sorry, but I wish you good luck... and good work!

Triathlon
Like I said, once London comes and goes, it'll be an easy 3b pass. I think it could have gotten through, actually, I'd have let it run out and see what others had to say. (Unless, of course, you have more lists waiting to nominate.) Courcelles (talk) 23:35, 20 July 2010 (UTC)


 * No, it's OK. I was really torn with this nomination. It has waited so far, it can wait two years more. That way it won't have this length thing crippling it from the beginning. Thanks once again! Parutakupiu (talk) 23:38, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I wonder if we could make an FT out of all these lists of Olympic medallists? Of course, some of the hardest ones are still to do; Athletics and Swimming for men and women. Shooting and archery will also be pains due to the various events held in the first few Olympaids, too.  I plan to send up Volleyball and the sport no one cares about sometime in August, though. Courcelles (talk) 23:47, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I would lie if I said that thought hadn't come across my mind before. It's logical taking into account how many of these lists are already featured. But we should go step by step, no hurries. Some lists, like you said, are gigantic... while others (*snif*) need a bit of growing to shape up. I'll be watching those lists of yours. Cheers. Parutakupiu (talk) 23:53, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

Medal tables
Just a heads up, so we don't duplicate our work, Sonia and I will likely be sending up the 1992 Winter table within 12 hours, and I've already got a page of notes to do 1994. I'll see if I found anything for '84 and '88 that can be added to those articles, though. Courcelles (talk) 04:03, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Cool. The 1984 Winter Games list could use a little more of info, if you have any. If you noticed, I've decided not to add much too info focused on the athletes because there's a list series for medal winners. One disadvantage is that I don't have an excuse to add more pictures, but that's accessory. The only thing I mention is how much they've contributed to the nation's overall medal count. Thanks for the cooperation! regards. Parutakupiu (talk) 11:07, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
 * A list series that.. mostly doesn't exist. I'll have to put some work into that once all the Winter medal tables that pass 3(b) get through FLC.  (I have 1956 sitting in a sandbox somewhere.  There and prior really ought to be fairly easy to make, write, and get through FLC, but most of the medal tables for those games would never make it.)  I wonder if FTC would buy "x Winter Olympics", "X Winter Olympics medal table" and "List of medal winners at the X Winter Olympics" as an FT.  Nah, maybe not.

1972 Summer Olympics medal table flc
Hey I see you have nominated the 1972 Winter Games medal table at flc and I've just nominated the summer games. This is my first run at a featured list so I'm a little unsure of myself. I tried to follow the patterns of the 1976 Summer Olympics medal table and the 2004 Summer Olympics medal table but yours looks considerably different with a separate highlight section. Would you take a look at the list and see if I'm totally off base for nominating it at this point? I don't want to put up subpar work and waste every one's time. Thanks a ton! H1nkles (talk) citius altius fortius 16:21, 9 September 2010 (UTC)


 * Hello. The lead for the 1972 Winter Games list was too big, so I was advised to split it: the lead would be (as should) a summary mentioning about NOC medal stats and the highlights section would contain the "firsts" and notable contributions towards medal tally by individual athletes. It was the first time I had to do this in a Winter Games medal table list, because I just had a lot of information to convey which I did not find in other Games. It's not something to be applied throughout... only if there's enough information forcing that.
 * I'll take a look at your list later, but I think that as far as quality goes, you should base yourself on the most recent featured Winter lists than on the featured Summer lists. Cheers! Parutakupiu (talk) 19:05, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I'd echo that last sentence; the 1980, 1988, 1992, and 1976 Winter tables are much more recent promotions than any of the Summer ones, all having been promoted in the last eight weeks or so, whereas the most recent Summer table might be two years old at this point- and the Beijing one is showing some rust. Courcelles 19:07, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
 * True. They seem... empty. I try to mention individual contributions to an NOC's medal tally, as I think it's is notable per se and adds more "texture" to the lists. Parutakupiu (talk) 19:11, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Excellent feedback. Thanks, I'll do some work based on the more recent promotions.  I was using the others due to the fact that it was a Summer Olympics table and close in chronology to the 1976 Games.  Since expectations and standards subtly evolve I'll focus on the more recent promotions.  H1nkles (talk) citius altius fortius 19:20, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
 * We clearly have different styles, hence the differences between 1980 and 1992 versus 1988 and 1976; but that hardly matters, either can produce a good list. The thing is the four Summer ones to be FL's- and Sydney and Montreal in particular- need a freshening-up. Not tons of work, but it needs doing, and they would be poor choices for models of modern FL standards at the moment. On an unrelated note, once we find a slot to nominate your 1984 and my 1994 lists, I'm not sure how many more of the Winter ones we will be able to get through. They're all fairly short before Saporro, though 1968 Grenoble is a possibility. I'd love to see the 3B changed in the current RFC so more could get through, and you could renominate the Triathlon list, though. Courcelles 19:23, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
