1936 Summer Olympics medal table

 * Nominator(s): Miyagawa   (talk)  18:07, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

Another Summer Olympic medal table from me. Hopefully I haven't repeated any mistakes that I've made previously in the three other Summer Medal articles, but you never know! Certainly one of the most notorious Games out there, being "the Nazi Games". Miyagawa  (talk)  18:07, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

Aside from these issues, all used images appear to be free and are properly tagged.  Good raise  11:50, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Image review
 * File:WoodRuff 1936 Olympics medal front.jpg is tagged as "own work". I'm willing to believe that the uploader took the picture himself, but I doubt that he is also the artist who designed the medal.
 * File:Ibolya Csak.jpg should not use self.
 * I may be wrong about this, but I don't believe that merely cropping an image meets the threshold of originality. Thus File:Berlin, Olympiade, Tilly Fleischer.jpg should not use self. Furthermore it cannot be licensed under the GFDL, as the image it was cropped from is not available under that license.
 * I've switched out the licences on commons for the Tilly Fleischer and Ibolya Csak images for the licences on the original images rather than the cropped versions. As for the medal itself, it was designed by Giuseppe Cassioli and was used from the 1928 Olympics onwards. The artist himself died in 1942. Miyagawa   (talk)  21:17, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Who holds the copyright to the design of the medal?  Good raise  00:14, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I've asked that question at Media copyright questions. Once I get a response there, then I'll respond here. Miyagawa   (talk)  11:13, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Dissapointingly I didn't get a response and the query has now been archived. I've looked into it in some more detail and I would argue that the medals don't qualify as a two dimension piece of art being that they are indeed three dimensional. Therefore such copyright wouldn't apply to them. Photographs of them then fall into the general realm of copyright, which means that if the photographer themselves uploaded it on a CC free use tag, then they're ok. It's certainly not the only image of olympic medals uploaded, and there are photographs of more recent ones too (including the Games from the period after this design was no longer used).

Support Comments - overall, looking quite good. Just a couple of comments before I support: Other than that, things look good. I looking forward to supporting. Dana boomer (talk) 14:17, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
 * "cancelled at the last moment after the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War after the athletes had already begun to arrive." - after...after, any way to remove repetitiveness?
 * "While no NOCs eventually boycotted the Games", "eventually" sounds a bit off here. Perhaps "ended up boycotting" or "In the end, no NOCs boycotted" or something similar would be better.
 * "to the ire of Nazi Germany leader Adolf Hitler after Owens won the men's 100 metres." Why was Hitler particularly upset about him winning this event? Also, giving a bit more explanation as to why Hitler was upset that Owens was winning medals (because of his race, yes?) might be interesting.
 * I think I've rectified each of those points. Miyagawa   (talk)  21:32, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I made one small tweak, but other than that everything looks good. Happy to support. Dana boomer (talk) 22:33, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
