I think if anyone wants to create the missing articles for Eritrea and Palestine they can now do so after quotas for road cycling (Eritrea) and dressage (Palestine) have been confirmed. Topcardi ( talk) 15:12, 11 January 2024 (UTC) reply

can I get the source for the cycling quotas for eritrea? Paytonisboss ( talk) 15:51, 13 March 2024 (UTC) reply

Outsports says that at the end of February, the CAS upheld a ban on the Russia Olympic Committee fielding a team (as they did previously, the ROC nominally independent of Russia), because the ROC had incorporated some Ukrainian associations from occupied territory (this, as a form of threatening the integrity of another national Olympic committee, is against IOC rules). So Russian athletes all have to be individual and neutral if they wish to compete. None of this seems to be mentioned in the relevant section, and presumably when the IOC first gave the ban should be mentioned, too. Kingsif ( talk) 18:43, 3 March 2024 (UTC) reply

There was a lot of extraneous details and WP:NOTNEWS in the controversies section of the article. I have done a pass and a half to cut down on most of those and trim them down to contain the most essential info. Soni ( talk) 21:38, 3 March 2024 (UTC) reply

Good job. Such sections are always problematic because they do attract of lot of trivial and attempted point-scoring content. I shall keep an eye on it myself. HiLo48 ( talk) 01:33, 4 March 2024 (UTC) reply

@ Kingsif Splitting into another article may be useful, but it becomes significantly less useful if none of said article is even summarised. The controversies section should at least have a paragraph or two to summarise the most pertinent controversies of the Olympics Soni ( talk) 18:47, 7 March 2024 (UTC) reply

Yeah, I was planning on starting a discussion (though more likely at the Olympics project, this talkpage is active, so that's good) of which controversies should be summarised - Russia and Israel, presumably, but my question was going to be should any others be, too. Happy to write up and source the summaries, if you have any input? Kingsif ( talk) 22:08, 7 March 2024 (UTC) reply

Unfortunately, I'm not well versed on Olympics or following all of these sources closely enough to tell which of these are significant versus a single news cycle. My gut says Russia, Israel, and maybe a line each about both during qualifying controversies? The Russian bit itself will be the most significant given we have multiple threatened boycotts and potentially some actual boycotts stemming from it.

It may also be possibly helpful to just go through a broader check of news articles of the Olympics to confirm nothing significant enough got missed in the cracks. Once an editor does a pass-through them, we would be better able to tell which of them fit Controversies article vs warrant summarising here. Soni ( talk) 22:23, 7 March 2024 (UTC) reply

I noticed Afghanistan has not been mentioned. Can it be discussed under "countries competing" why Afghanistan has not been allowed to compete in the tournament (I understand the official reasoning due to the Taliban but it must be mentioned why on the page as it can cause confusion among the readers of the page. Pathaan2024 ( talk) 15:33, 4 March 2024 (UTC) reply

I agree that Afghanistan should be mentioned in the article. However @ Pathaan2024, based on all the news articles I am reading, there is no official status on Afghanistan at Paris Olympics yet. The main source I can find is from June 2023, and does not mention any ban yet.

Since Wikipedia follows WP:Verifiability we can only discuss a topic if there's news articles already on them. So we'd want more news articles to discuss if IOC is allowing/banning Afghanistan before including it. Soni ( talk) 16:04, 4 March 2024 (UTC) reply

In the calender there are only 14 gymnastic events (10+2+2), but I believe that should be 18 (14+2+2)? 80.86.137.195 ( talk) 10:32, 11 March 2024 (UTC) reply

Do you have a source to back up this claim? Paytonisboss ( talk) 15:36, 13 March 2024 (UTC) reply

Yes, the official program :) Competition-schedule-by-sessionevents-V6.pdf (paris2024.org) And the sub-page with gymnastics also says 18 and not 14. 80.86.137.195 ( talk) 07:16, 14 March 2024 (UTC) reply

Hello @ 80.86.137.195

Do u know how to cite that source, if not I will be more than happy to cite that and edit it into the event tally for you.

Also feel free to contact me via my talk page with the link to your source so I can confirm it abides by the Wikipedia reliable sources ---> ( talk)

have a amazing day Paytonisboss ( talk) 15:13, 14 March 2024 (UTC) reply

The calendar appears to be correct with a total of 14 artistic events, plus the 2 rythmic and 2 trampoline. Just as described at Gymnastics at the 2024 Summer Olympics. Am I reading this wrong? (And unsure why Paytonisboss is demanding a source for this question). -- ZimZalaBim ^talk 15:31, 14 March 2024 (UTC) reply

@ ZimZalaBim I was asking for the link to his source he had updated the calendar prior to my comment so it could be cited because I saw no cited source to the edit Paytonisboss ( talk) 15:38, 14 March 2024 (UTC) reply

I'm opening a talk page about this because I was confused the first time I saw it.

The current calendar shows there being no event on August 2. This is confirmed by a competition schedule via a media statement, a reliable source.

However, the official Paris 2024 website schedule shows there being time trials that day, which isn't even marked anywhere on the aforementioned schedule. Jamisonsupame ( talk) 14:43, 14 March 2024 (UTC) reply

Hello @ Jamisonsupame

Thank you for alerting us about this mistake we will review your sources and get back with you asap.

The lead tells us "The Games will be the first to feature an identical number of athletes between men and women.". Seriously? Precisely equal numbers? I find this hard to believe. How is it being achieved? Perhaps something else is meant there. HiLo48 ( talk) 03:20, 19 April 2024 (UTC) reply

The quota designated by the IOC is gender equal. Perhaps changing the wording to say "scheduled to feature" would be better. Sportsfan 1234 ( talk) 03:36, 19 April 2024 (UTC) reply

Do we have a source for this? That would help to give us suitable wording. And I'll just note that the lead is meant to be a summary of things described in detail elsewhere in the article, but this doesn't seem to be the case here. HiLo48 ( talk) 04:35, 19 April 2024 (UTC) reply
