Talk:2012 Summer Olympics closing ceremony

Photos

Given the number of acts that took part in the ceremony, I'd wonder whether photos of some of the artists taken years previously are particularly relevant or helpful to this article? Background info on artists can be accessed by clicking on their name, after all. At some stage there should be some photos of the actual performances that we can substitute, and I'd suggest the archive pop star photos be dropped? IanB2 (talk) 09:02, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

The file name for the image of the phoenix and cauldron is misspelled (as Phoneix). Unfortunately, I can't fix it since the file is currently auto-protected. Maybe an admin or some other higher-up can fix it? 50.81.119.87 (talk) 07:18, 15 August 2012 (UTC)

I could do it, but it's probably not worth doing, as the image is on Commons as well. File names don't matter a lot. ProhibitOnions ^(T) 02:07, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

   Pass/Fail:

Overall I think the article is well written however I do think that some parts might need clarification.

• The section titled God Save the Queen I think should at least mention the name of the anthem in the prose.

Bit hypercritical aren't we? You don't mention that I should do the same for the other three national anthems

• After the Union flag has been linked, all other references to it should be delinked

No idea what you're on about. If anything the lede and where the flag is raised needs to be linked. Once per a section (within reason)/if it hasn't been mentioned in a while in my book

• Could we get a ref for fireworks ending the Symphony of British Music section?

The ref is the ceremony itself.

• In the Road to Rio section, it should be clarified what flag was raised.

Again you need to be more specific two countries and the Olympic are mentioned. But I think it's self evident "the Greek national anthem being played and raising of the flag". Therefore the conclusion is the Greek national anthem was played and the Greek flag was raised. It's not technical terminology and this is not simple Wiki.

• Ref 39, "The Daily" what?

 Done nothing to stop you clicking on the article and fixing that yourself

• Ref 43, the publisher should be clarified (ie. Forbes not the webpage address)

 Done nothing to stop you clicking on the article and fixing that yourself

• Ref 44, What makes Teamcoco reliable?

Does seems to be to a video, I'll have a look for an RS like I did for youtube if not it can go.

 Done and it's gone!

• The rio section pic should be of a similar size to the other pictures in the article

???? It's no bigger or smaller than any other image on there to start with...don't quiet know what you mean.

• All print sources should be in italics

 Done

Other than those minor issues, the picture licences are fine and once these issues have been ironed out, I'll pass it. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 07:43, 9 March 2013 (UTC)

Yes, just need to sort out that Teamcoco thing and it's ready. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 18:09, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

All OK. A new GA is done. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 15:11, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
