Medals by sport
Since the discussion was initiated in the United States at the Olympics (discussion), all disciplines should be listed individually or, as has been the case so far, grouped for some sports and their disciplines together in the sport itself.

In this specific case it's about Cycling and Canoeing. The disciplines for Cycling (Track cycling, Road cycling, BMX racing, BMX freestyle, Mountain biking) and Canoeing (Canoe sprint,Slalom canoeing) were listed individually in the table unlike to other NOC articles .I changed these in United States at the Olympics for consistency, but I suspect that other opinions should be heard here to prevent an edit war, as it was reverted by @Monerals -> misunderstanding here, not intentional, question still remains.

And if we really want to list strictly according to disciplines, should we then orientate on the Olympic sports table and, for example, also list the equestrian disciplines (dressage, eventing, jumping) individually in the Medals by sport table? The only exceptions so far are only four sports, where the disciplines grouped together in the medal table: Miria~01 (talk) 10:08, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Cycling (Track cycling, Road cycling, BMX racing, BMX freestyle, Mountain biking)
 * Canoeing (Canoe sprint,Slalom canoeing)
 * Equestrian (dressage, eventing, jumping)
 * Wrestling (Freestyle, Greco-Roman)
 * I feel like it should be evaluated country-by-country. For the USA (who have a lot of medals in a lot of sports) it probably makes sense to combine them. On the other hand, for a country like Cuba where there are half as many medal categories it probably wouldn't hurt to err on the side of being more specific. Primefac (talk) 10:48, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Gymanstics: I also saw that in some NOC articles the disciplines in Gymnastics are combined and for others are not (separated in United States at the Olympics and combined in Russia at the Olympics).
 * Swimming: Another case to note is Swimming at the Olympics. Sometimes Marathon Swimming is combined in Swimming at the medals table and sometimes separately (separated in Australia at the Olympics and combined in Netherlands at the Olympics).
 * A manual of style for the olympic articles would be desirable, but as far as I'm concerned it can also be considered country-specific, even if it would then be subjective. Miria~01 (talk) 12:22, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I don't think it's right for the decision to be country-specific because that leaves a big opening for edit wars. In my opinion, it is better to reach a consent regarding a guiding rule. For example, what is considered a lot of medals for a country? Are there sports that we will always separate the disciplines from or unite them (athletics, for example)? Nimrodbr (talk) 19:10, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

One could argue that the disciplines are always listed separately, if the sport includes a genuine team sport. This also applies to aquatics with water polo. Or in this way: Only all real team sports and their disciplines are listed separately and aquatics is also considered an exception by consensus. ... And disciplines of winter sports should always be listed separately. Miria~01 (talk) 12:00, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

1896 Summer Olympics
I'm thinking about rerunning this one in late July at WP:Today's featured article. It was promoted to FA back in 2005, but I've run some automated checks on the article that turned out fine, and people have done a good job keeping up with questions on the talk page. It reads well.

Timelines on qualification articles
Is it necessary to list the opening ceremony in a timeline of qualification events for each sport's qualification article? I don't think its necessary, with the timeline being left to just qualification events and dates. Thoughts? Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 23:12, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Could you give an example page? The few sports I keep track of don't seem to have this. Primefac (talk) 23:24, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Judo/2024 Olympics is the only one. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 23:26, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I removed it but there was some objection. But if there is a wider consensus to have them included, then we can add it back. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 23:26, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Special:Diff/1233403041 for the record. I don't see why that information needs to be included, it's not really part of the qualification timeline (especially if it's not listed for any other sports). Primefac (talk) 23:29, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I totally agree with you. I can't recall it being on any qualification article including events outside the Olympics as well. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 23:30, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Agree with the removal. It's not part of the process. Kante4 (talk) 07:01, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I think we have consensus for removal? Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 22:06, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I support removal as it seems irrelevant.  Schwede 66  23:30, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

Yuna Kim A-class assessment
Hello everyone, WikiProject Figure Skating has just started doing A-class assessments. Our first article submitted for review is Yuna Kim, and we're in need of a third reviewer. Here's the link to the assessment: WikiProject Figure Skating/Assessment/Yuna Kim. The assistance of any member of this project would be muchly appreciated. You don't have to necessarily be a figure skating expert (although that would help, of course), but you should at least be knowledgeable about editing and contributing to Wikipedia. Thanks to all and best. Editor120918756 (talk) 06:13, 17 July 2024 (UTC)


 * I would, but having scanned the A-class review list page, I feel like I am not versed enough in the (many!) guidelines the FS project has on writing a FS biography to be a particularly useful reviewer. Several of the FS-specific A-class review points come down to handling FS-specific terminology, sources, guidelines in an appropriate manner and with my minimal experience editing in the area, I feel I could not well judge for myself any of those things, let alone assess and give recommendations.
 * If you are lacking for reviewers due to so many regular contributors of the FS project having edited the article, perhaps that is an indication than many users who could otherwise be the third reviewer have as a collective agreed on the quality status of the article - through combined editing - and another reviewer may not be necessary? It seems to reflect the amount of work the project has put into this article, and would be easier than needing to find a user willing to build up some experience in the area just for a review. Kingsif (talk) 23:34, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the response @Kingsif
 * I'll tag @Figureskatingfan here so she can read it. Editor120918756 (talk) 04:40, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Yes, thanks for your response, @Kingsif. Actually, this was going to be the next step. We're trying to adhere to the agreed-upon requirement for three reviewers, but in this article's case, several editors who are familiar with our guidelines and who are experienced figure skating editors have worked on it. I agree, the solution is to come to a consensus that two reviewers are enough. Best to you! Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 17:13, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Sounds good! It's a great read of an article, I'd just check the photo number/sizes before sending it to FA or anything! Kingsif (talk) 20:18, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
 * @Kingsif Oh, yes! Thanks for at least reading it and telling us it looks good. That doesn't need any expertise, and most readers wouldn't have any expertise either. Editor120918756 (talk) 08:05, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

Reserve players
Hello everyone, i just wanted to ask if the number of reserve or alternate players should be included in the total athletes represented by the country at a event or should only the number of actively participating athletes should be included?  PrinceofPunjab  TALK 08:26, 20 July 2024 (UTC)


 * If I understand correctly, these players are not officially on the team and do not get awarded medals if they remain reserves. I remember there were some discussions on the topic regarding the volleyball teams. Tone 08:31, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
