4 countries not yet qualified.

[edit]

Timor Leste, Dominica, Eritrea and Bermuda are all within qualification standards, but are not listed by the FIS as being qualified. I think its due to them needing more races (which undoubtedly) will happen in the new year. Thus keeping them on the list is good for now and they can be removed if needed be.

A Big thank you to Ymblanter!

[edit]

Thank you for organizing the list in Russian! Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 16:08, 26 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi , please, could you make tables qualified with the names of countries and athletes in other sports, like you did with skating and short track thank you very much ... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Benjaminolympique (talk • contribs) 16:13, 26 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Russian alphabet order

[edit]

Cyprus should go before Kyrgyzstan 37.190.61.42 (talk) 16:05, 29 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Size of table

[edit]

The size of the table is a bit too big. Is there away to change this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sportsfan 1234 (talk • contribs) 16:32, 31 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Timor Leste/India

[edit]

This article from today confirms India will compete as Independent Olympic Athletes [1]. ""They will not represent the country under the Indian flag, but they are participating as independent athletes under the Olympic flag."

As for Timor Leste the athlete wrote, "I am Qualifie for the Winter olympic games thx for all your support love you !!!" on his facebook page [2] Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 19:58, 31 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'll update that later. Anyway, what's the Russian translation for Independent Olympic Athletes ? Griff88 (talk) 09:27, 1 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
We (Smartyllama) came to a conclusion that Timor-Leste will be excluded until FIS officially says he qualifies (even though he has according to the standards). Anyways I think someone has put in the Russian translation. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 17:33, 1 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Russian and Romanization columns?

[edit]

Given this is English Wikipedia, is there a reason to display the Russian and Romanization columns in the table? --Another Believer (Talk) 21:44, 1 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes because the Russian order is what will be used, and without that being listed it would be confusing to the reader. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 23:00, 1 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
And, as for the Romanization? --Another Believer (Talk) 04:35, 4 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Since not everyone able to read Cyrillic alphabet (which is used in Russia), the romanization is added for those who unable read Cyrillic. Griff88 (talk) 07:08, 4 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
But can't some of this info be presented at wikis for other languages? This is English Wikipedia. --Another Believer (Talk) 19:13, 4 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Which is why we need to summarize the info. If the nations enter in order of another language we need to mention that! Furthermore how would you expect someone that knows English only to navigate the Russian Wikipedia to access this info? Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 23:51, 4 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I think only English should be displayed. A note, or even referenced prose, can communicate that the order of nations is based on the Russian alphabet, or whatever. I still do not understand why Romanization is necessary. To English speakers/readers, these columns are just special characters, so to speak. --Another Believer (Talk) 23:55, 4 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I know that this is English Wikipedia, where English is used to explain things. But, just like what I've said before : the romanization is added for those who unable read Cyrillic. In the 1980, 1988, 2004, and 2008 edition, romanization is added there because Russian, Korean, Greek, Chinese language don't use Latin alphabet. In other words, romanization is only included for the languages which don't use Latin alphabet. Griff88 (talk) 06:48, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Georgia

[edit]

Georgia changed Gedevanishvili to Ciklauri. --195.93.246.47 (talk) 15:33, 21 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It has been changed. Thanks. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 00:25, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Confirmation

[edit]

sources for Azerbaijan, Belarus and Ukraine? --195.93.246.47 (talk) 12:41, 30 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed them. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 01:32, 31 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Alpha order

[edit]

This photo [3] appears to show the flags in order, but the British Virgin Islands bucks the trend. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 06:25, 31 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Well, just wait for the opening ceremony and it will be clear then. Griff88 (talk) 13:34, 6 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
By the way, if I remembered what I heard, the russian name for US virgin island didn't use "SShA". Only the english designation was changed, wasn't it? Griff88 (talk) 05:28, 8 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
[edit]

Much thanks to User:Sportsfan 1234 for keeping such a close eye on this list, and for making many improvements. SF, once the event has passed, the information is confirmed, the references are formatted, and the lead is strong, you might consider nominating this list for Featured List status. If you are not familiar with the term or process, just let me know and I can try to help. --Another Believer (Talk) 16:14, 7 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 06:08, 8 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Timor Leste

[edit]

Timor Leste entered as Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste. Can someone make the necessary Russian translations. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 06:26, 8 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The english designation is different with the russian one (the one listed is correct). Same case with I.R.Iran which is only announced as Iran.Griff88 (talk) 12:45, 8 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Table

[edit]

On my computer/screen, the table extends beyond the normal frame, though I am not not sure why it does not adjust appropriately. Would adding % commands for the columns help? ---Another Believer (Talk) 15:56, 13 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
