What about an article on cheating at olympics? Its a great idea to have this, but it needs to be more vissually appealing, more up-to-date and more newsy, and be a little bit better organized and connected to other pages.
Really great idea, though. Theonlyedge 23:19, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
A few thoughts ...

Since the FP was removed on this page due to a fair use violation, could someone please find another FP to use? Preferably a recent one having to do with the summer Olympics, but anything will do. Thanks. → J@red talk+ ubx 21:27, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
I've noticed a few times that people have found problems with certain sections or pictures on this portal. I'm not trying to single anyone out, but I would greatly appreciate it if when someone removes a section or picture because of a violation, the find a new section or picture to replace it. Please try not to remove anything until you have found something in its place. Thanks for complying! → J@red 15:29, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
The rings image was removed from this page. I can see that this should be done on templates, user pages, etc, but this is an encyclopedic page. Why should the rings not be allowed to be placed on this page? → JARED (t) 20:15, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
I created an article on Oscar Pistorius today. Stu ’Bout ye! 11:17, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
I just wrote a new article about the Olympics, however I do not know where it would fit in in this portal.
My article is Politics in the Olympics

WikiProject Portals is back!
The project was rebooted and completely overhauled on April 17th, 2018. Its goals are to revitalize the entire portal system, make building and maintaining portals easier, support the ongoing improvement of portals and the editors dedicated to this, and design the portals of the future.
As of May 2nd, 2018, membership is at 60 editors, and growing. You are welcome to join us.
There are design initiatives for revitalizing the portals system as a whole, and for improving each component of portals. So far, 2 new dynamic components have been developed: Template:Transclude lead excerpt and Template:Transclude random excerpt.
Tools are provided for building and maintaining portals, including automated portals that update themselves in various ways.
And, if you are bored and would like something to occupy your mind, we have a wonderful task list.
From your friendly neighborhood Portals WikiProject. Hope to see you there. Sincerely, — The Transhumanist 07:40, 2 May 2018 (UTC)
I improved the article Football at the Summer Olympics#Participating nations in my draft page here. I suggest to replace the present article. You can vote by agree or disagree.
Best regards. --Fayçal.09 (talk) 19:48, 1 September 2018 (UTC)

Hi. I've just written, in the French Wikipedia, an article about British Olympic or Paralympic athletes who also sat in the British Parliament. Based on this list from the Parliament website. If you'd like to create the corresponding article in the English Wikipedia. Aridd (talk) 14:59, 28 January 2019 (UTC)
This portal was recently nominated for deletion, and the MFD was closed on 28 August 2019 as No Consensus. The following points were noted either by the Keep editors, by the Delete editors, or by the closer:
The number of articles, 25, is too small. More included articles are needed.
Addressing those points within the next two months is a minimum for addressing the concerns raised in the MFD. If these points are not addressed in two months, this portal is likely to be nominated for deletion again.
If there is really a desire to demonstrate that portals in general can be improved, here are a few suggestions for design improvement:

I know that "ceremonies" has been replaced by "ceremony" but there are 3 fundamental events that are part of the games that in effect are different events so not ceremony but ceremonies. If the article is about one particular action then it should be ceremonies including the article.2605:E000:1301:4777:8981:5C61:2B21:3CAD (talk) 09:44, 3 September 2020 (UTC)

Article selection criteria for the portal from Portal:Olympic Games/Selected article:
Olympic related Featured articles can be added directly to this list without nomination. All other articles should be nominated first to ensure that we only display our best work on the portal.
I think this should be expanded to include FL-class, A-class and GA-class articles. Otherwise, the portal will always have limited content, and limited potential to be expanded. I also strongly recommend removing the "nominations" process from all subpages, because nobody ever uses the process, like almost ever, for almost all of the portals on English Wikipedia. This creates an issue whereby if anyone were to make a nomination, nobody is around to ever communicate about it, making the process broken and moot.
I also feel that Top-importance articles should also be considered, even if they're not at GA- or FA-class level. However, said articles should be well developed. for example, I added Ancient Olympic Games to the Selected article list because it's such a vital topic, it makes no sense to not include it in a portal about the Olympic Games, unless it is underdeveloped. However, it is a well developed article, has no maintenance tags, etc. Another matter is that sometimes articles will be well developed and obviously at B-class, but nobody ever comes along and updates the assessments on the talk page. I've seen articles that are clearly B-class assessed as Stub-class all the time, across a range of topics. North America1000 07:52, 3 July 2021 (UTC)
"All other articles should be nominated first at Portal talk:Olympic Games to ensure that we only display our best work on the portal.
I have added the following GA-class articles to subpages of Portal:Olympic Games/Selected athlete. The selections include Olympians in the Olympic Games and Paralympics. In the future, additional entries for all topics that are organized by the International Olympic Committee would be great, so the portal would then also include content from the Youth Olympic Games as well. Articles added today are below. North America1000 09:28, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
As argument whether the host city parameter in Olympic Games infobox should include state/province, i'm invite you to discuss whether it will be necessary to include it on Talk:2028 Summer Olympics#Host city, as it is also involved MOS:OVERLINK. Thank you. --Aleenf1 08:09, 25 June 2022 (UTC)
User:Nimrodbr I was perusing through the portals by clicking on the browsbar at the top and navigating to random portals, when I saw this. Is there a reason why this has been the only portal out of the last ~15 I've visited to not have the portal browsbar be in the same location [at the top]? I'm not too worried either way, was just curious. Thanks for letting me know though! ^^ Utopes (talk / cont) 08:51, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
