1984 Winter Olympics medal table

 * Nominator(s): Parutakupiu (talk) 20:34, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

Surprise, surprise. Here's the 10th list of the Winter Olympics medal table series up for nomination. Not much to say at this stage. Review all the way! Parutakupiu (talk) 20:34, 6 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Comment—no dab links, no dead external links. Ucucha 23:08, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Support I can't see anything wrong with the list. The only thing I would like to put in the article is to add a note that (although it was Yugoslavia's first medal) it was also the first time since 1928 that the host did not win a gold medal. It only happened in '24, '28, '84, and '88, which is sufficiently rare enough to worth putting it in. Nergaal (talk) 04:57, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the support, and for that info. It didn't come across my mind before. Parutakupiu (talk) 15:05, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Support. I found no problems. Ruslik_ Zero 18:23, 9 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Weak Support The map is beyond useless, and I hope to never see another one, but the list is otherwise fine. Courcelles 16:10, 22 October 2010 (UTC)


 * I probably get this wrong always, but the lead image is a map which uses only colour to designate things, does this really meet WP:ACCESS?
 * That is beeing discussed despite, no conclusion been reached by the disagreeing parts. I'm gonna implement the compromise layout (which had been in a userpage of mine) where I took that map from the lead section, enlarged it and labeled every participating country, so that at least we know what countries won (or not) medals. OK, colors are still only used to identify medal types, but where do we draw the line? If I use patterns to discriminate medals, it would look awful. Parutakupiu (talk) 16:31, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
 * I'll see what the new image looks like. I understand that it may look awful to meet WP:ACCESS but one of our criteria is a compliance with WP:MOS... The Rambling Man (talk) 16:50, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
 * A solution would be to just group the entries in the legend by color and say what the color means. Nergaal (talk) 23:19, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

Comments –
 * Remove comma after "For the first time"? There's also something similar in the third paragraph.
 * Commas removed. Parutakupiu (talk) 21:28, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
 * The last reference should have an indication that it's a PDF.  Giants2008  ( 27 and counting ) 21:20, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Done. Parutakupiu (talk) 21:28, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - I see no problems with the list. Afro  ( Say Something Funny ) - Afkatk 10:55, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
