medal table
the medal table contains three times Germany. One is for West-Germany, one for East-Germany and one for the united Germany since 1990. It makes no sense to count it not alltogether, Olympics should not be about past politics. Both East and West Germany is Germany. The medal winners were Germans. If an East German athlet won a medal it was a German. After 1990 the same athlet was a citizen of Germany. If a West German won a medal he did not change his citizenship, he did not even need to get a new passport! In This medal table you count him on the West German list. All what is now Germany has been completely West- or East Germany. This medal table here needs to be fairly corrected. If You count all german medals in the Germany list, then it is apparent that Germany is number one of all nations in the winter Olympics. This should correctly be shown on this medal table. The same correction needs the summer Olympic medal table. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RomanNies (talk • contribs) 23:21, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
- It is factually incorrect that a single German team won all the medals that three separate teams won. The IOC used three different abbreviations; FRG, DDR, and the modern GER. The US team does not include the Puerto Rico team even though Puerto Rico is a US territory; we don't combine them. The same goes for Germany. We should do what reliable sources do. 331dot (talk) 23:31, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
GAR
Sigrandson added the Template:Tlx tag to this talk page, saying "from a quick look at one or two of its sections by this contributor minutes ago, this 2009 promotion is starting to show its age in light of last year's criteria update". This presumably refers to last year's change to GA criterion 3b), which requires inline citations for all content that could reasonably be challenged; there is significant uncited content of this type in the article. It is thus liable to be nominated at WP:GAR unless someone takes on the work of adding these citations. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 21:09, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
GA Reassessment

Inconsistency in number of "sports"
The section "Sports" lists 16 "current sports," while the "List of Winter Olympic Games" indicates only 8 "sports" for the 2026 games (and fewer sports for all previous games). Shouldn't the number of "sports" be consistent? If not, some explanation for the discrepancy should be provided. 2603:7000:34F0:8F00:577:2055:1525:5BF2 (talk) 17:14, 22 February 2025 (UTC)
