2006 Winter Olympics medal count

Oh boy, another Olympics medal count (don't worry, I'll try to wait until this one is at least half done before nominating another... No promises though) Anyway, its modelled after the 1928 Summer count and 1976 Summer count and fully sourced. Like always, all concerns will be addressed by me. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 14:22, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Do you think that the sentences that describe the most medals or most gold medals of individual athletes is out of place, since these are lists of medal count by nation? Seems like they'd be better placed in a list of athletes who won medals at the games. - Marrio (talk) 15:51, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Comments Depressing lack of comments. But anyway:

• Non-breaking space, perhaps?
  • Where?
• "in blank"?
  • Fixed
• What is an Olympiad?
  • A fancy word for Olympics. I switched it out with something else.
• "The ranking in this table is based on information provided by the International Olympic Committee,[7] although that organization does not officially recognize global ranking per country." "Global ranking per country"?
  • Fixed

Oppose for now. Noble Story (talk) 10:07, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for taking a look. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 14:33, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

More Comments

• From the MOS: "In compound measurements in which numerical and non-numerical elements, namely values and units, are separated by a space, a non-breaking space (or hard space) is recommended to avoid the displacement of those elements at the end of a line." So, I think things like "84 events", "80 countries", and so on could have a non-breaking space.
• Instead of "leaving 54 countries blank in the medal table," try "leaving 54 countries without a medal."

Done and done. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 04:34, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

• Oppose per Noble Story. GreenJoe 00:27, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Can you please specify? I think Noble Story's concerns have been addressed. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 00:45, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Support, with a comment Perhaps move, or copy reference 6 to the sentence ending in "but tested positive for carphedon and lost her medal." Otherwise it looks like Noble has addressed everything, and it meets all the criteria. Matthewedwards (talk · contribs · count · email) 05:27, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

The sixth ref confirms that only one person lost a medal (and doesn't give any specifics). The seventh is a specific for that case. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 14:30, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Support Look good now, Scorpion. It has my approval. Noble Story (talk) 10:40, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
