[edit] Seasons of occurrence

• This states that the winter games will be held in early spring. I'm gathering this article bases its times on one hemisphere of the planet and not the other. Perhaps changing it to months would better suit. --ClEeFy 12:07, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

In response, it is sort of weird to hear it said like that, but the source I used said exactly that. But when you think about it, the normal Winter Olympics are held in late February, toward the end of winter, so it don't sound that different, just weird. If I find a source with months, I'll use it. _└^Jared_┘^┌_t^┐  00:23, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

You have fallen into the same trap: late February is only "toward the end of winter" at certain latitudes. Kevin McE (talk) 10:28, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Official candidates

The IOC has announced the cities that have submitted a bid to host the first Summer YOG in 2010. Eleven cities have applied: Algiers, Athens, Bangkok, Belgrade, Debrecen, Guatemala City, Kuala Lumpur, Moscow, Poznan, Singapore and Turin. Parutakupiu 15:48, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 2012 Youth Winter Games and Template

I put the Winter bid on this page because I didn't want to get too far ahead like the Main Olympiad Pages. Unless you think a seperate page should be made already. Also, would it be preferred to make a new template, or perhaps just edit the Youth Games onto the existing Olympics Template? --Cbradshaw 05:30, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pic of Singapore

I re-added the image of Singapore. I disagree that a picture of Singapore is not relevant. When the Games occur, we can add more specific pictures, but I think it's good for now. Cheers--Cbradshaw (talk) 04:43, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Just to point out as per my comments in User_talk:Cbradshaw#RE:Singapore_2010_YOG that I feel a general picture of downtown Singapore is of little educational value in an article on an Olympic event. By all means show images related to the bid process or a major sports event if available, without which one should not simply show any random picture and add unnecesary bandwidth stress to those using slower networks.--Huaiwei (talk) 05:57, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Qualifying/Tryouts

How will Qualifying work? When and where are Tryouts in the US for the diffrent sports? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.60.233.137 (talk) 01:12, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
