Shouldn't it be noted that there was a qualitative shift in regard of the artistic (or propagandaic) directing of the opening ceremony from the 1936 opening ceremony onwards? -- Xact ( talk) 00:49, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
At the Olympic Games, ceremonies are commemorate the opening and closing of a specific celebration of the Olympics << I'm not sure this is correct grammar... Philly boy92 ( talk) 20:10, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
I have updated this article to reflect the past couple of closing ceremonies, along with what is now written in the IOC's Closing Ceremony Protocol fact sheet: The raising of the host nation's flag is now being done near the start of the ceremony -- instead of in the middle along with the raising of the Greek and the next host's flag.

I propose to make changes to the parade of nations section on the Olympic Game Ceremony page. It is so general that it doesn't really show the importance behind the parade of nations. The way the countries walk in and it what order is very representative of the past and current relationships between the countries.
I also propose to make changes to the artistic program section on the same page. It is a very short paragraph, and a lot of the ceremony revolves around the artistic component. Although the paragraph mentions that it is tied to the culture, history, and Olympic motto, it fails to mention how or why. If I were to read this section, I would want to know how the artistic component is tied culturally and how it has changed over history.I also don't know what the olympic motto is, so I would clarify this as well. I think that the artistic component is the thing that leaves an impression on the audience. Therefore, I propose to add to this section to clarify some things as well as elaborate on certain topics mentioned. Since the artistic component is so important and is also tied to the ideas behind this course, I plan on starting a new page about the artistic component of the Olympic Opening Ceremonies. I don't know what I would title it, but I think that a small paragraph on a page doesn't do it justice. LCJNuggs10 ( talk) 02:12, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
The section Parade of Nations contains the following sentence (toward the bottom of the section):
I'm guessing that the meaning here is that English and French happen to be the official languages of both the Olympics and of that year's host nation, Canada. But because English is more dominant in BC, the English alphabetical order was used rather than the French alphabetical order.
Imho the sentence could by formulated more clearly, maybe by breaking it up. Something like this:

@ SpinnerLaserzthe2nd:, I would like references for the following lines about the handover ceremonies in italics:
The reference added [1] is an article from the IOC on the topic of the handover ceremonies, in which they still call the current flags as the Rio Flag and PyeongChang flag. I have not come across any references online or mentions on broadcast which calls the flags the Toyko and Beijing flag respectively. Lama12 ( talk) 02:45, 17 March 2022 (UTC)
