Olympics results

I note that you prefer tables sorted by events primarily, and all athletes participating in that event, before you go onto the next event (and listing its athletes). You've changed tables that were the other way around, eg athletes listed primarily and events they participate in secondarily. I've tried to check the manual of style for guidelines on this, but I have not been able to any. Do you know any?

Since I haven't been found any guidelines I've used my preference when making new pages, but I've avoided reverting others' work when editing other pages.

To me it looks much more cluttered when sorted by events primarily. It also makes it hard to see how many athletes participate. In biathlon or cross-country skiing many athletes participate in three or four events making it predictable what events are being contested, while it's easier for an athlete who only participates in one event to slip under the radar in an event-primarily sorted table. I suppose an alternative could be to make the table sortable to resolve that. -- Lejman (talk) 18:45, 7 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough. It probably varies between sports and countries which system is ideal. I'm sure sorting by event is ideal in athletics for USA for instance, while sorting by gender primarily and last name secondarily seems to be used in tables where every athlete only participates in one event. I'll keep doing my thing and avoid reverting others on pages I don't do much editing on, then. Thank you for your response :) -- Lejman (talk) 19:13, 7 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Placements for participants eliminated in earlier rounds

Hi, you removed Laura Gomez' final placement in the speed skating mass start on Colombia's page. She finished 22nd. The source is the same as all other results, the official page. Either of these three sources work:

https://olympics.com/beijing-2022/olympic-games/en/results/speed-skating/medals-and-ranking-women-s-mass-start.htm https://olympics.com/beijing-2022/olympic-games/en/results/speed-skating/athlete-profile-n1045789-laura-gomez.htm https://olympics.com/beijing-2022/olympic-games/static/owg2022/pdf/OWG2022/SSK/OWG2022_SSK_C74B_SSKWMS----------------------------.pdf

The reason I don't add a particular source for it is simply that we don't add special refs for every other ranking, and the source is the same as always.

I'm working on to adding placements on athletes eliminated in rounds (in sports like short track, cross-country skiing sprint, skicross or snowboardcross for instance). Feel free to assist! :D -- Lejman (talk) 07:47, 23 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I've fixed most of this stuff. I haven't readded all info on Australia yet, and China is still left too. I also think it would be best to double check women's 30 km mass start in cross-country skiing to ensure it's been added on all countries because I've noticed it missing by chance on a few countries, so chance are there are more countries lacking it. -- Lejman (talk) 19:46, 23 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
