Why does Viktor Petrenko have an Olympic flag next to his name when he is from the Ukraine?
Why are there already results posted for the ladies' competition in 2006? This page claims that Slutskaya wins the gold, Hughes the silver, and Cohen the bronze. The competition has not yet taken place.
The original idea was only to substitute the long names for the countries by the flag, to shorten the table a bit. The corrent use of hirstorical flage is to my feeling over the top. First the old Canadian flag was never official, and to use the Union jack is probably not appropriate. At least because than Great Britain and Canada can not be destinguished. Second the USA-flag has changed too. So if we do it correctly here, we have to count the stars. Third and worst, I personally do not like to see any Nazi-flag if not really necessary. Please use the current flags if possible to identify the countries. Uwe Langer 19:17, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
I disagree heavily with the second statement. The use of the Nazi-flag here makes it more acceptable. To use that in Germany is even illegal now. The Nazi system was not acceptable and will never be - and I am saying that as a German, non Jewish. However, Canada used the Union Jack officially at early time of the Olympics, so you have to use that then. It is for them probably not nice either. It also makes it impracticable here, because we want to destiguish between Canada and Great Britain. Uwe Langer 08:33, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
Does anyone else think the country abbreviations really clutter up the tables, especially when half of them are redlinks? -- Fang Aili talk 14:57, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
Yes, I think the country abbreviations clutter up the tables. And these abbrevisations are redundent. When you move the cursor on the flag you get the name of the country anyway. Uwe Langer 20:19, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
I was asked to look at the alt text for this article (see WP:ALT), and visited the altviewer results for this article to check it out. The alt text for the large images all looks good; thanks. The icons should have "|link=" instead of alt text; I've fixed this for the skater icon and requested it for the flag icons; once an admin installs the latter patch the alt text should be shipshape. Thanks for taking the time to write up good alt text. Eubulides ( talk) 22:09, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
I removed the statement that Gordeeva and Grinkov won the pairs in 1994 as professional skaters. The CNN source used is rather vague; it refers to "a change in the official rules allowing professional skaters to compete in the Olympics", but doesn't add that the rule change entailed reinstatement to eligible status. This is confirmed by "Figure Skating: A History" (James R. Hines, 2006), p245: "The ISU … permitted a one-time reinstatement of ineligible skaters to full eligibility and allowed them to compete at the European and World Championships and the Olympic Games in 1994".

Why was Stephane Lambiel removed? He was the silver medalist that year, the details page for the event even still says so. Squeaky-chan ( talk) 11:34, 15 February 2014 (UTC)

Sasha Cohen won silver but the list now shows Jill Grimes (red link), who seems to be a made-up person or possibly a modern day TikTok user. 2600:8806:705:4000:1026:A2F8:C657:9688 ( talk) 09:00, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
