Venues of the 1952 Winter Olympics

Featured list candidates/Venues of the 1952 Winter Olympics/archive1

Nominator(s): Arsenikk ^(talk) 21:02, 19 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I believe the list meets the criteria. It is closely related to the existing FL Venues of the 1994 Winter Olympics. Arsenikk ^(talk) 21:02, 19 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Check the overlinking of the place names like Oslo etc. Format tables per WP:ACCESS. — Legolas ^(talk2me) 11:13, 20 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the comments. Regarding overlinking, repeating of links is permitted within tables, per Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_(linking)#Repeated links. Outside the tables and caption, I believe there are no links which are repeated (if you see any, please tell me). Regarding the latter, could you be specific about what part of WP:ACCESS you feel is being violated. I have read the guideline without finding any violations, and I have had the same structure to previous tables previously at FL without any feedback, so I would very much like to know how I can improve accessibility. Arsenikk ^(talk) 17:10, 20 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I would tend to agree that the linking in the tables is reasonable as-is. –Drilnoth (T/C) 21:13, 20 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

*Why do only three venues in the first section have a capacity listed? –Drilnoth (T/C) 21:15, 20 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- The capacity is not listed in the official report, and there are no other plausible sources available to confirm the capacity. For most of the venues, this is probably because there is no "defined" capacity, as the venue would lack seats etc. Arsenikk ^(talk) 10:41, 23 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comments –

Is American English or British English being used here? If the latter, all these "meter" usages should be "metre".
- The article is written in American English. Arsenikk ^(talk) 16:53, 28 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
"Of the tournament's 36 matches, 23 were play at Jordal". "play" → "played".
- Fixed. Arsenikk ^(talk) 16:53, 28 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Don't think Alpine needs to be capitalized in the fourth paragraph.
- Both are accepted, but if you insist, I can always do it. Arsenikk ^(talk) 16:53, 28 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
"and the course length of 480 meters." I think "the" should be "a".
- Fixed. Arsenikk ^(talk) 16:53, 28 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Capitalize "lake" in "lake Kroderen"?
- Lake is not part of the proper noun, but a description to inform the reader that it is a lake. We have had discussions about this at WP:Norway, and consensus is to never "invent" names by adding Lake to a lake's name. I've tweaked the sentence to make it better, though. Arsenikk ^(talk) 16:53, 28 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Competition venues: The Capacity column could use sort templates, as the numbers don't appear to be sorting properly.
- Fixed. Arsenikk ^(talk) 16:53, 28 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Post-Olympic use: "as the lack any significant spectator stands." "the" – "they". Giants2008 (27 and counting) 23:29, 27 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- All has been seen to or explained. Thank you for the feedback. Arsenikk ^(talk) 16:53, 28 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Support – Meets FL standards. Giants2008 (27 and counting) 00:03, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Lead image, Stadion not stadion. Same in the lead. Or else move the target article. Same with the other stadiums.
- The capitalization is correct according to Norwegian grammar, and according to Wikipedia:Naming conventions (capitalization)#Capitalization of expressions borrowed from other languages, we are supposed to retain the capitalization for foreign language terms. I don't have a problem using caps myself, I'm just trying to follow the MOS. Arsenikk ^(talk) 09:22, 29 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
"slalom" is a dab link.
- Fixed Arsenikk ^(talk) 09:22, 29 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Do you mean switchboard instead of switch board?
- Fixed Arsenikk ^(talk) 09:22, 29 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
"to cheer on the" a little colloquial...
- Fixed Arsenikk ^(talk) 09:22, 29 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
"work was done" never really like "done" as it's clumsy. Can you make it more elegant?
- Done Arsenikk ^(talk) 09:22, 29 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Would suggest you force the sorting of those without information to zero.
- Fixed Arsenikk ^(talk) 09:22, 29 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
"The slalom course in Rødkleiva in 2009" maybe worth expanding that caption as it's clearly not got any snow on it!
- Upgraded Arsenikk ^(talk) 09:22, 29 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
"after which it only served" served->hosted.
- Fixed Arsenikk ^(talk) 09:22, 29 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
But then avoid repeating hosted in the following sentence!
- Gee you're picky ;) Arsenikk ^(talk) 09:22, 29 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
"an all-new stadium" -> "a new stadium".
- Fixed Arsenikk ^(talk) 09:22, 29 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Just the one concern, the tables currently fail WP:ACCESS, see MOS:DTT on how to rectify this. Other than this it looks good NapHit (talk) 10:43, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I believe I have fixed the issues; if not you're going to have to be more specific on what shortcomings the tables have. Thanks for the feedback. Arsenikk ^(talk) 11:02, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Almost there you need to add !scope=row next to the venue cells. NapHit (talk) 15:48, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Added. Arsenikk ^(talk) 13:10, 8 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Support Just for future reference you need to have an exclamation mark instead of a pipe when you use scope. Anyway Great work. NapHit (talk) 20:18, 8 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support No outstanding issues as far as I can see. Miyagawa (talk) 20:50, 10 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
