Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Football at the 1920 Summer Olympics, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. The reverted edit can be found here. Thank you. I dream of horses If you reply here, please leave me a {{Talkback}} message on my talk page. @ 03:50, 24 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Erroneous content has been added to the page and it needs to be reverted to a previous version with the correct content. Two issues: the date of the game for eighth place is incorrect, since all the sources report it as 2 Sept. 1920 and not 30 Aug. 1920 (see http://www.rsssf.com/tableso/ol1920f-det.html ). Second issue: the latter stages of the competition did not "descend into farse" as stated in the article (that's POV), the tournament continued following the rules of the Bergvall system, as explained here: http://www.la84foundation.org/SportsLibrary/JOH/JOHv8n1/johv8n1o.pdf . The only difference was that the disqualification of Czechoslovakia forced an eighth-place game. Also information added in an improper type (subcript) is unreadable, since it's not in proper English and does not seem to give any valuable/supported information. --24.68.76.74 (talk) 04:08, 24 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think I have completed the desired edits as instructed. Sorry about the confusion, but when you remove entire sections of an article, patrollers are unable to distinguish your edits from vandalism. Please in the future consider using the edit summary, or even create an account.
