I reverted some presumably good intentioned edit by user:Honestjeff who primarily deleted any negative information about the Chicago bid. I believe the goal of this page is to present information, both the positive and negative, about the bids (as long as they are sourced), regardless of where a person is rooting for. If others disagree, please let me know. Thanks-- Cbradshaw ( talk) 06:37, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
The IOC lists the NOC of Azerbaijan in the EOC (Europe) and not in the OCA (Asia). This needs to be fixed. I would fix it, but i'm not to good with the editing of wikipedia. So yeah, it would be good if someone could change it. The sound ( talk) 10:18, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
What is the point of the odd table layout for applicant cities? It does not seem to add anything and complicates editing and navigation (it would make more sense for each city to be a sub-section). Pimlottc ( talk) 14:23, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
A note on the tables. I feel like they are nice, but with so many cities here, it is not aesthetically pleasing to have such a long article full of tables. Please refer to 2012 Summer Olympics bids for an example of how each city can have its own subsection. It makes more sense to have them not in tables, and so I would encourage the user who reverted my edit to rethink this. Tables are really only meant to show small groups of things, and thus as you can see on the featured bids page, it is used sparingly. Jared (t) 18:13, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
It says that the four highest rated cities were chosen as finalists, but according to the article, Doha, a failed bid, is given a higher rating than Rio de Janeiro, a successful bid. Blaylockjam10 ( talk) 08:29, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
The section for Chicago states "By 2016, the Summer Olympics will have not been held in the Americas for twenty years", which gives the impression (at least to me) that this is a significantly long gap between games, however it is almost unprecedented for the games to be held in the same country only 20 years apart (in fact the games in question was the Atlanta 96 games referenced in this section). Perhaps this can be re-worded to avoid giving the wrong impression. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.86.229.37 ( talk) 15:08, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
this page states 7.0, but http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_Summer_Olympics states it is 8.5
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago_2016_Olympic_bid claims it is 7.0 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.173.255.251 ( talk) 05:45, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
An anonymous editor just added a sentence about the 2014 WC hurting Rio's chances. This seems unfounded; as Rio de Janeiro 2016 Olympic bid points out:
Therefore, I have a strong prejudice toward removing this statement if it's not sourced pretty soon. Cheers, PhilipR ( talk) 02:58, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
I've arranged the ordering of the bids with the highest scored first. It seems to make the most sense if you ask me. An alternative would be alphabetical, but raw score is probably the most relevant at this moment. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.229.239.26 ( talk) 20:16, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

I was watching at http://www.ustream.tv/channel/CBS-News , and the time on the chat room showed the actual announcement at 12:50pm Eastern Daylight Time, so the time zones would be on the :50, not :30. MMetro ( talk) 17:16, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
This is just using someone's predictions. Why not use Wikipedian's predictions? The rest of the article is find. Remove the Predicting indices section? President of Chicago ( talk) 05:05, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

Reference #4 reads "shit list" when it should read "short list" but I cannot find a way to correct this.
