The Olympic Flame is lit in Squaw Valley at February 18 by the 1952 Olympic champion in 500 meter speed skating, Ken Henry. The games are opened by Vice President Richard Nixon. The fire from Morgedal is still burning in Squaw Valley. --

US Flag incorrect
A 50 star US flag is shown in the medal table. This is incorrect - the US flew a 49-star flag from July 4 1959 until July 3 1960. [[User:Grutness|

Talk amongst the Tahoe locals
[1] is that the Nordic events were held at Sugar Pine Point State Park and surrounding environs.

Incorrect facts
The first televised winter games was the 1956 games. See
[2] from the IOC for proof.

Giuliana Chenal-Minuzzo recited the athlete's oath at the 1956 Games. She was the first woman to do so per this link also from the IOC
[3]. I will change these discrepencies.
Squaw Valley ski area is located in Olympic Valley, CA, not Squaw Valley, CA. Squaw Valley, CA is in central California, near Fresno. A simple check on the Squaw Valley Ski Corp. web site (www.squaw.com/contact-squaw-valley-usa) will clearly show their address as Squaw Valley Ski Corporation, P.O. Box 2007, 1960 Squaw Valley Road, Olympic Valley CA 96146. Why do the guardians of this entry insist in using the wrong city for the famous resort's address?
A. It contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with
the layout style guideline:
Never mind
B.
Reliable sources are
cited inline. All content that
could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose):
Images are where they are supposed to be and captions "agree" with photos.
Overall:
Pass or Fail:
Just dropping in, leads are not supposed to have references unless quotes or controversial BLP statements are in the lead, so the article's fine in that regard.

Don't panic; a discussion will now take place over on Commons about whether to remove the file. This gives you an opportunity to contest the deletion, although please review Commons guidelines before doing so.
If the image is
non-free then you may need to upload it to Wikipedia (Commons does not allow fair use)
If the image isn't freely licensed and there is no
fair use rationale then it cannot be uploaded or used.
It was mentioned that the Greek standardbearer (as always) led the procession of athletes into the Opening Ceremonies. However, Greece is not shown as having participated in these Games officially. Did Greece just send a non-athlete flag bearer, was the Greek flagbearer not even Greek from from the Olympic Committee? Was the story about the Greek flag leading in the athletes even true? Enquiring minds think this article should elucidate on that. --

This is sourced to a single statement on IOC's web page about Squaw Valley. It seems dubious and poorly sourced. I couldn't find any good sourcing for this statement; in fact, most of the internet that mentions Squaw Valley and instant replay together seems to have gotten that opinion directly from this article, sometimes word-for-word. The
instant replay page itself, which is well-sourced, does not even mention Squaw Valley. It seems like a TV urban legend that has made its way into this article and I believe it should be removed.
