I decided to apply your request by removing forced widths in all countries competing at the 2012 Summer Olympics. I changed the table format for decathlon and heptathlon in Athletics. I am tired of reverting back and editing all tables using forced widths. I hope you understand what I said. Thank you. (T.C) 16:46, 6 July 2012 (UTC)))
Thanks for your help on my weightlifting question. I wasn't sure that was the right place to ask, and since you seem to know a lot about the Olympics, I was wondering if I could ask you another question, about wrestling (both Greco and freestyle).
What does it mean when "TO" is the result of a Olympic wrestling match? --TheShadowCrow (talk) 17:32, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
"TO" as it's used here for the match between Mkhitar Manukyan and Şeref Eroğlu. I have never seen that on a wrestling page before, where it's almost always supposed to have the amount of points scored. --TheShadowCrow (talk) 02:22, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
Hi. I think I have resolved concerns on Template:Did you know nominations/Amy Clay if you can take another look. :) --LauraHale (talk) 00:01, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for all the hard work on the very long DYK nomination. :D

If you're feeling courageous, can you take a stab at reviewing Template:Did you know nominations/Hannah Vermeersch, Phoebe Stanley, Elizabeth Patrick, Sally Kehoe, Alexandra Hagan, Renee Chatterton, Tess Gerrand and Template:Did you know nominations/Lucinda Whitty, Olivia Price, Nina Curtis. Multihook nomination means most reviewers will pass. Advantage is you'd have 10 QPQs done for use as rules allow peeling off each article as its own QPQ. ;)
Hi, Basement12. I've raised a question on the WP:OLY talk page with regards to the presence of icons in article headers. Could you take a look and weigh in on the discussion? --Starstriker7(Talk) 20:19, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
Hi Basement12. After reviewing your request for rollback, I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:
If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Electriccatfish2 (talk) 20:28, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

Hi. When you recently edited Jonathan Hammond (sport shooter), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Qiu Jian (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Addressed question at Template:Did you know nominations/Ben Weekes. --LauraHale (talk) 02:49, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
Hello! Your submission of Nicola Wilson at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and there still are some issues that may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! LauraHale (talk) 20:54, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
Also, if you could comment on my talk page AND review to let me know if okay, that would good as I miss some DYK comments as I think I have 50+ reviews out. --LauraHale (talk) 20:54, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
Hi. As an active participant in DYK discussion, if you have a minute, can you drop by Wikipedia talk:Did you know#Number of Olympic hooks per day? and offer an opinion on how to address this? I'd rather get it dealt with sooner rather than later as I feel like the sheer volume will require a discussion as all people involved in building prep areas will need to be aware of whatever decision is reached. Thanks. --LauraHale (talk) 21:29, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
Stay off my talk page. PumpkinSky talk 01:29, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
And for my own and others future reference here's the original conversatio copied from your talk page before you called me a troll
"Twice now (1, 2) you've promoted Paralympic or Olympic hooks that I've reviewed to prep areas despite my suggestion that they be saved for use during the Games. Admittedly neither was specifically requested to be saved by their nominator but given the output by both User:Miyagawa and User:LauraHale of late I thought it was fair to assume. I'm not sure if you've missed my recommendations in the rush to organise prep ares or if you've just ignored them. - Basement12 (T.C) 00:44, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
And I apparently might not speak English. Good to know
Stay off my talk page.
- replied at your talk page...
Okay, so this doesn't appear to be going anywhere. Basement, I realize that you're looking for some kind of explanation, but it's fairly clear that for whatever reason you're not going to get one. Since he's asked you to stay off his talk page, would you please do so? If you have further issues, feel free to raise them with me or another third party, or post on a relevant project page (in this case, WT:DYK). Nikkimaria (talk) 02:24, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
Nyttend (talk) 01:47, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for the heads up. Considering the number of hooks I've got saved for the Olympics already, I think that its fine to run it before the Games. Besides, Daniel King didn't qualify after all! :) Miyagawa (talk) 11:41, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
If you continue to harrass User:PumpkinSky, you will be taken to ANI and blocked. Consider this your only warning. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 03:10, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
Hey there You recently made observations on one my contributed articles here. I am new to wikipedia and was wondering if you can explain the observations. My article is called "Job attitude".

If you're writing articles about the Great Britain men's national wheelchair basketball team, there are now pictures of team members. For two of them, there are interviews (which should appear as Wikinews articles soon). Lots of Paralympic articles have no pictures so a few with pictures would be good. :) Related Chinese women, German women and Japan men are also all Paralympic bound. --LauraHale (talk) 22:01, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
Hi. Can you take a look at Template:Did you know nominations/Jessica Trengove? My understanding is that this type of information belongs in an article and is not padding at all. --LauraHale (talk) 03:42, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for restoring the pre-vandalised page. I was making a bit of hash of doing so, having started by manually removing the first of the offensive comments and then realising there were more (it's been a while since I've done any editing here!).

This discussion taking place here regarding Cla68 may be of interest to you. Sport and politics (talk) 11:47, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
Per this edit summary, "remove suggestion that NI is included in team name. per all International Olympic committee sources this is not the case", I'll ask you again on your own talk page, given your muteness elsewhere, where is the source from the IOC that explicitly states that the name of the team is Great Britain? If you cannot produce the source, then it's pretty clear you are engaging in improper original research, because you're argument boils down to 'look at the sign they carried in the opening ceremony' or 'look at the title on the IOC webpage', which is of course utter intellectual garbage if it contradicts things like the BOA's own explicit statement that Team GB is the Great Britain and Northern Ireland Olympic Team. I've no issue with you using IOC usage as the basis of a Manual of Style for various tables/articles etc, but in the places that specifically talk about the team name, or where the use of the BOA's own terminolology is relevant, but where you've been busily rewriting facts and removing sources you apparently just don't like, this is unnacceptable.

I just spent hours looking for this information, knowing I had seen it on August 1. I understand that the Olympic committee wants to avoid declaring a "winner", but Wikipedia is a place for information. The list of most medals by Olympiad is essential information. Wikipedia lists the medal counts on each individual olympics page; putting the information in one place is nice and convenient.

Yeah, after I had finished updating the medals, I get to the bottom of the table and read the nifty note. Then, when I go back to undo my revisions, you had already done that for me. How wonderful of you. Maybe if the explanation would be at the top of the article instead of at the bottom, you wouldn't have so many people updating the damn thing. Geez. Can't even let me fix my own mistakes. Ugh! Vulture! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mbenzdabest (talk • contribs) 11:39, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

Can something be done about IngagedRedBird constantly changing the 2020 Summer Olympics article? This user apparently believes the Games have already been awarded to Madrid. (Plus the giant Madrid flag is annoying.) → Michael J Ⓣ Ⓒ Ⓜ 23:14, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
I am seeking advice on possible solution to avoid an edit war, since you have been active in the editing of the page and also advised me on my talk page. As you know the page protection has just been lifted and again a section (Women's cycle team sprint) was removed. I've posted my comments in the talk section with the intention of editing the piece (with new sources to support why it's a controversy). I would like to undo the removal so I can edit it but don't want to start another edit war. Suggestions? Thanks in advance!(Showmebeef (talk) 15:09, 16 August 2012 (UTC))
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 Wikipedia 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 Wikipedia articles before, during and after the Games to demonstrate a track record of success. Thank you. --LauraHale (talk) 05:02, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for your help on South Africa at the 2012 Summer Paralympics. If you have the time could you construct more of the events tables. I'm busy searching for sources to fill in some detail. Roger (talk) 11:45, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for the heads-up on the pictograms on the Brazil 2004 page. Went back through and corrected all the other ones I put in there in EVERY country before Brazil. Will do my best to follow the guidelines that you linked to, which I was not aware existed. JDBear (talk) 03:26, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

Hi. When you recently edited Martin Sinclair, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Bath (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
