Athletics & Swimming at the 2012 Summer Olympics
Hi! Thanks for updating the Athletics qualifying page, i'm trying to replicate what you have in there in the individual Nation pages. I think the same needs doing for Swimming, however this page has been set up to include OSTs which, as is clearly stated are not automatic qualifying places... Do you think we should remove the OST qualifiers from the individual event tables and just concentrate on OQTs? Any help with making the Swimming page as good as the Athletics page would be gratefully received! Cheers! E1tiger (talk) 13:00, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
- Hi! Since the OSTs are already in the article I don't see any harm in keping them around. Besides, the Swimming article is probably easier to maintain than the Athletics article. The FINA web page has a nice results filter. In Athletics, we'll run into the problem that we might miss some quota places as athletes might qualify with second-best performances not listed. No such problems with the Swimming article. Anyway. I can spare some time on the weekend to work on it.
- There's also another problem there: the FINA results page is a bit ambiguous on what's a valid OQT or OST result. There's a filter to only show Olympics-relevant results, but even the times that get filtered out have OQT or OST next to them. So there's clearly an inconsistency in the data. For example, results from the Brazilian nationals are filtered out. I'd stay on the safe side here and remove these results from the tables for the time being. Right now they are included in the tables. Might have to do with competitions not being approved for Olympics qualification yet. MrYIndeed (talk) 13:30, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
- I've updated the tables, but removed the OSTs as in some events there are over 100 of them which seems ridiculous. Someone might complain, but that's the way it is ;) Just need to update the Nation pages to match now! E1tiger (talk) 15:16, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
Gymnastics at the 2012 Summer Olympics – Qualification
Have you got a source that confirms this?--Nitsansh (talk) 16:34, 18 October 2011 (UTC)
- The full results for the qualification round are available here: . The requirements are laid out in . See the third box in the second row.
If I'm not mistaken, the three athletes do not fulfill this requirement. MrYIndeed (talk) 12:54, 19 October 2011 (UTC) - I just noticed my mistake here: it is average score and not score of the best athlete. Smith is definitely not qualified, since he participated in only one apparatus. Berki and Tsolakidis probably are, but would manually computing the average (beside being tedious) be original research? We can't really add them before doing this computation though. MrYIndeed (talk) 13:02, 19 October 2011 (UTC)
- I would prefer a confirmation of an official source, IE FIG or the relevant national associations. Could you try to obtain that?--Nitsansh (talk) 22:53, 21 October 2011 (UTC)
- Also a report in a media source would be sufficient. Perhaps our fellow WP in Hungary or Greece could help with that. I suppose that computing the average is very time consuming, but in case the results are well above the median I guess that would be sufficient.--Nitsansh (talk) 22:53, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

Getting Wikimedians to the Olympic Games
Hi. I am part of an effort to get Wikimedians access to the 2016 Summer Olympics as accredited reporters and photographers. Part of this effort includes covering the 2012 Summer Paralympics. Two Wikimedians have credentials to attend these games as reporters through Wikimedia Australia. As English Misplaced Pages does not allow original reporting, this is largely through Wikinews with a project page found at Wikinews:Paralympic Games. If you are interested in helping to get Wikimedians to the next Summer Olympics,I'd encourage you to assist with Wikinews efforts, and also to work on all language 2012 Summer Paralympic Misplaced Pages articles before, during and after the Games to demonstrate a track record of success. Thank you. --LauraHale (talk) 04:32, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
