Venues of the 1994 Winter Olympics

 * Nominator(s): Arsenikk (talk)  14:32, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

This list is inspired by the similar FLs for 2008 and 2010 Olympics, although it is slightly modified to give a more comprehensive coverage. Arsenikk (talk)  14:32, 3 February 2011 (UTC)


 * I think there should be a section on the Olympic village. Nergaal (talk) 20:15, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Good idea. Give me a day or so to create an article about the Olympic village, and I'll see if it is appropriate to paste some information into the article or not. Arsenikk (talk)  21:35, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
 * My apologies for that taking so long time, I seem to have gotten distracted by something else on WP and suddenly time flew. Anyway, I've created the article Lillehammer Olympic Village (which covers both of them) and added three sentences on the issue in the lead. Arsenikk (talk)  13:40, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
 * I think the village article should be merged into this list. It should definitely be included here, and I am not sure it is notable enough to deserve a separate article. Nergaal (talk) 04:39, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Do you want the information from that article pasted in here, with the level of detail in the subarticle? Also, there is more to be said about the village, there was a certain amount of public debate about the localization of it, and also there could be said more about the post-used (it did after all turn into a small subdivision), so I am comfortable with keeping the subarticle. Arsenikk (talk)  21:58, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Not really. What I think is appropriate is to have a short section on it that contains the essential information about the village. Nergaal (talk) 06:24, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I've copyedited a bit, and there is now one paragraph on non-competition venues in the lead, plus half a paragraph in the "post-Olympic" section. Technical details are available in the list. Any more information on this, and it would be undue weight. Arsenikk (talk)  12:40, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Comments - Refs 40-51 have no publisher. Ref 40, 42, 43, 50 need a format parameter. The Bibliographies need format parameters. "Håkon Hall and Gjørvik played host to the World Women's Handball Championship in 1999[50]," Ref should be after the punctuation mark. Afro  ( Talk ) 12:45, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Refs 41–50 have an author and publisher which is the same, so it seems unnecessary to duplicate the information (they are all from the official sites of the mentioned organizations). Otherwise fixed. Arsenikk (talk)  13:27, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
 * I'll Support my issues were only minor and they seem to of been fixed. Afro  ( Talk ) 15:19, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

Comments –
 * The last sentence of the lead is a bit like a run-on for my tastes. Could the walking distance from train stations be made into a small sentence of its own?
 * Post-Olympic use: Double word in "Only part of the athlete accomodation was was built for permanent use".  Giants2008  ( 27 and counting ) 22:25, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the comments. Both have been fix. Arsenikk <sup style="color:grey;">(talk)  13:40, 17 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Support after my silly gaffe was pointed out. Courcelles 13:20, 24 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Support my issues all resolved. The Rambling Man (talk) 19:39, 10 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Comment Have Nergaal and Afkatk been asked to revisit? Dabomb87 (talk) 22:03, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't know why there isn't a section on the village yet. Nergaal (talk) 16:23, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Support Another great list! :p --TIAYN (talk) 12:10, 19 March 2011 (UTC)
