The date of the Olympics was listed as July 27-August 12 2008. I went ahead and changed it to 2012. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.218.43.57 ( talk) 00:13, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
The current article name is London Olympics. I'm considering changing it to one of the following:
The first is a slight change and could incorporate details about the failed Manchester and Birmingham bids. The second could be more in line with other possible articles ( Olympic Games hosted by France, for example). The last could incorporate details about British competitors and public reactions to the Games along with the content of the other two suggestions. All of these would detract from this article being details of the London games, but would allow for a wider content. Any input would be good. violet/riga (t) 00:17, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
I disagree with this proposal. I think the page currently acts well as halfway between a disambiguation page and an article. However, without its use as a disambiguation page, I don't think this aritcle would really warrent inclusion, as all the stuff is developed on the individual games' pages. Also, given that the Olympics is held by a city, not a country, any title inclduing British or United Kingdom would be factually incorrect Robdurbar 14:37, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
The text refers to '(the Games of the IV Olympiad) were the fifth modern Olympic Games' - does anyone know why the fifth games were called the IV Olympiad - or is there a mistake? Thanks! Petesmiles 03:25, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
It should simply be a WP:Disambiguation page. jnestorius( talk) 19:39, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
