on 10 August 2021 @ James Ker-Lindsay:, starting and continuating an editwar, undid twice revision 1038053873 by Arorae (commenting "pleasee provide your reason in the edit summary. The other IP user has provided his reason. Your edit clearly failed to meet the consistency set by other Olympics-related articles. Please start a discussion in the talk page if you believe that we should change "Nation" to "Team" in all Olympic medal tables". In his precedent Revert, he commented the Diff as "Unconstructive". Probably this user is the same person that the IP that moved Nation to Team but I will not ask for control or verification. I propose instead to speak about the point Nation/Team. In the Olympics, since the very first editions, all the teams competing where not (always) "Nations" or States, as the Grand-Duchy of Finland, before its indipendence in 1917, To tell the truth, citizenship was not even an issue in those first Games (as in Saint Louis 1904, where "natives" and "zulus" participated. in ghe 2020, 2 teams are clearly not Nations (EOR and ROC), and TPE or HKG are not considered as nations by PR of China. GBR represengs 4 Nations and many small islands overseas, DEN represents Faroe Islands (a different nation from Denmark). For all those reasons, "Nation" is not the good terminology to comprehend all the situations. Teams is a better denomination (as in GB team or Italy team, official denominations used by their NOCs). Here is my rationale.-- Arorae ( talk) 16:15, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
@ DeFacto: (who doesn't like to discuss this on his own page and Reverted it twice): I would like initially to thank you... but now, you have taken off the competition rankings that I had inserted in Athletics at 2020 Summer Olympics' section. I do not understand why you did. They are sourced by a Press release from WA, and they give important info about the rankings of last major championships in the last years (those rankings exist since 2000 — not before that) and they give a good info about the quality of each championships. -- Arorae ( talk) 10:38, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
