List of 1956 Winter Olympics medal winners

 * Nominator(s): Courcelles 22:43, 4 August 2011 (UTC)

Well, Cortina. Originally scheduled to host the cancelled 1944 games, eventually hosted the Olympics 12 years later. This list of medal winners is, I hope, a nice compliment to the main FA on these Games. Courcelles 22:43, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Comments Ref 1 has a date format different from the others. Why do some medal columns have a ref while others don't? What ref covers all medal winners? Pumpkin Sky   talk  23:08, 4 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Good catch on the date, fixed. Team events are cited by country, individual ones are cited by event (look under the event column).  As to a ref to all the medal winners, there really isn't such a beast, unless you want to deal with a 700 page PDF (the third general ref). Courcelles 23:43, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment: I have an issue with File:Stig Sollander, Tony Sailer and Chiharu Chick Igaya 1956.jpg being in the article, for reasons I raised at commons:File talk:Stig Sollander, Tony Sailer and Chiharu Chick Igaya 1956.jpg. Strange Passerby (talk • cont) 03:38, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Darn, the uploader Commonsside did us no favours by merely liking to the image as a source, either. Yeah, that's going to be worth a DR over there at some point, unless there's proof forthcoming. Removed... and there is nothing to relpace it with.  Cortina was a bad games for free photos, unfortunately. Courcelles 04:05, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
 * The lead image of Sixten Jernberg was uploaded by the same user, and with a similar link as the source (i.e., direct to image). As 1964 was in Austria and not Sweden, it may be worth investigating that photo too. That said, it does give an author on that image, and the company/news organisation does appear to be Swedish. Strange Passerby (talk • cont) 04:09, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Bah. I have a feeling that per, we're arguing over semantics, and not over images that are actually under copyright.  Nevertheless, there is an image on Commons of Jernberg that is unmistakably valid, if less dramatic, so changed. Courcelles 04:21, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Probably the first one (of the three of them) could be PD-Italy, I guess; the second one you removed wouldn't have been though as 1964 was in Austria. Anyway, I suppose it's better to err on the side of caution. Strange Passerby (talk • cont) 04:25, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
 * No, the second one never would be PD-Italy, but I'm fairly sure the first one would have been, but without a real source, not much can be done, and no one really wants to re-argue PD-Italy Commonsside. I think we're squared away on the images now, even by a very conservative approach. Courcelles 04:29, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
