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

Wrong number of gymnastic-events in the calender? edit

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 editPaytonisboss (talk) 15:38, 14 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Calendar: Canoe Salmon Discrepancy edit

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.

Identical number of athletes between men and women? edit

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
