Talk:International Olympiad in Informatics

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

1 China 1686 (4 Gold) 2 Poland 1609 (3 Gold, 1 Silver) 3 Russia 1599 (3 Gold, 1 Bronze) 4 Korea 1549 (1 Gold, 3 Silver) 5 USA 1500 (1 Gold, 3 Silver) 6 Romania 1427 (2 Gold, 1 Silver, 1 Bronze) 7 Iran 1398 (1 Gold, 2 Silver, 1 Bronze) 8 Ukrain 1353 (1 Gold, 2 Silver, 1 Bronze) 9 Taiwan 1339 (3 silver, 1 bronze) 10 Geogia 1254 (2 silver, 2 bronze)

However it seems there are some problems with the official ranking, so I think we should wait to include this information until the official results are there! Snailwalker | talk 15:31, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Just a result sheet

I don't think that we should include the whole gold medal list from the IOI 2006 or the ranking of the countries, as Wiki is supposed to be a dictionary not a database. And I also don't think we should include it yet as the official results have not been released yet, the IOI commitee says that the list is seriously flawed, and will therefore not be released yet.

The IOI regulations state: "E5.10: Alternative result tabulation, including the listing of non-medla winning students with their marks, and ranking by country are expressly prohibited." As such, there is no official IOI country ranking and any ranking that appears here is abitrary and should be avoided. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.133.83.218 (talk • contribs)

Yeah I agree with you, and I also think we should wait with rankings and stuff until the official results are released. As one can see at http://olympiads.win.tue.nl/ioi/ the results are delayed and that the first results are seriously flawed! Snailwalker | talk 22:26, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

The final results were declared a few days ago. See http://olympiads.win.tue.nl/ioi/ and http://www.ioinformatics.org/aw2006.htm. http://www.ioinformatics.org/explanation.htm is an explanation regarding the final scores. Kprateek88 10:59, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

I agree the IOI 2006 gold medalist list should be removed - this is only of interest for a short while, and not the kind of information that should be in an Encyclopedia. I'm going to remove the list in 1 minute. --Yogi de 11:06, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Links to national Olympiads

Maybe is better make a new article about the national olympiads in informatics and move the links from the national olympiads there. Also I delete www.ioiforum.org from the links because these site have no longer this domain.

The list is now removed. We may reconstruct a list of them elsewhere. --Deryck C. 15:13, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Programming languages

I think the article should state which programming languages the contestants are allowed to use. AFAIK these are C++, C and Pascal. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.177.106.38 (talk) 09:04, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
