DOSB Presidency

Will he have to resign as DOSB president now that he's been elected as president of the IOC? 101090ABC (talk) 11:12, 12 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. He can not hold both offices at once, so he will need to be replaced as the head of DOSB. --MusicGeek101 (talk) 03:14, 14 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Law Phd??!!

He did not obtain a "Law phD" because there is no such qualification! Fact check! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Angstriddenyouth (talk • contribs) 18:06, 21 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in Thomas Bach

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Thomas Bach's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "IOCdecision":

From Russia at the 2016 Summer Olympics: "Decision of the IOC Executive Board concerning the participation of Russian athletes in the Olympic Games Rio 2016". IOC. 24 July 2016. Retrieved 24 July 2016.
From Doping in Russia: "Decision of the IOC Executive Board concerning the participation of Russian athletes in the Olympic Games Rio 2016". IOC. 24 July 2016. Retrieved 24 July 2016.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 22:43, 29 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Calling Japanese people Chinese

He’s been lambasted in the press for this. Is it worth including in the article or is it not notable enough? 李艾连 (talk) 03:30, 17 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No. completely non-notable. — SGconlaw (talk) 12:13, 8 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Re-election:

This is mentioned in two separate paragraphs. In one place it says that he will be eligible for re-election to a four year term in 2019-2025. In another place it says that he has been re-elected to a new four year term in 2021. Since he was elected to an eight year term in 2013 his re-election to a four year term means that he will be in office until 2025 when a new President will be elected. This is a common sense view and does not require any sourcing Abul Bakhtiar (talk) 03:14, 25 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
