I see you are new to Wikipedia—welcome! I would recommend that you follow the work of WP:WikiProject Olympics to see how we have created articles for previous Games. We do not put "rank by date" tables in the ~3000 articles that are subcategorized under Category:Nations at the Summer Olympics. I see that China at the 2004 Summer Olympics is a strange anomaly, and I am working on that right now. Thanks — Andrwsc (talk · contribs) 21:55, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
- You are simply reverting other editors. Please engage in other editors by using talk pages (see WP:Talk page and WP:Talk page guidelines if you need help) and please use edit summaries with your contributions (see Help:Edit summary). Your edits are beginning to be disruptive, even if that is not your intent. — Andrwsc (talk · contribs) 22:12, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
- Hi, could you show me the guidelines for writing "X at the XXXX Summer Olympics". DX243750 (talk) 22:19, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
- Well, to be honest, we don't have any guidelines explicitely written, although we have discussed various aspects of these pages at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Olympics over the years. I think that the closest thing we have to a guideline is to look at other similar pages, but as you may have noticed, we still have a lot of inconsistency with the thousands of Olympic articles on Wikipedia. We're slowly fixing them all up! I think the common style for the "Nation at the year Olympics" pages is to have the infobox summary in the upper right corner (all done), followed by a list of medalists, followed by a per-sport list of results. If there are certain elements you'd like to add, then it would be a great idea to engage other editors on the project talk page to see if we all agree. Thanks — Andrwsc (talk · contribs) 22:29, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
- Alright thanks, I'll try reading the discussion archives before editing further. DX243750 (talk) 22:51, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
- I'm not suggesting you stop editing right now! On the contrary, your work to fill out the list of names of the Chinese competitors is a great help. I'm only suggesting that you engage with other editors for edits that might not be uncontroversial. A really good essay I like is WP:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle. Basically that means you should feel free to boldly edit an article, but if someone else reverts, then you immediately discuss the change. That works both ways—if you don't like someone elses edit, you can revert once but then you should start discussing the change. Hope this helps — Andrwsc (talk · contribs) 23:08, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
- Nice one, I'll have a look at the bold, discuss article too. DX243750 (talk) 23:34, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
