@Miria~01, we should not do so. If there is an error in Great_Britain_at_the_1920_Summer_Olympics and Great_Britain_at_the_Olympics, then we must first correct it in those articles, and then correct All_time data. Otherwise, we will get inconsistent data.
As for errors in 1920. This is a more complex topic than it seems at first glance.
1) Summary data at https://olympics.com/de/olympic-games/antwerp-1920/medals (and for Games from 1912 to 1948 !) is inconsistent with the detailed data of the competition results on the same page below. This is due to the fact that summary data includes data on Art competitions at the Summer Olympics. Art competition at 1920 gives some extra melals: Belgium 2 gold, 1 silver, 3 bronze; Italy 1 gold, 1 silver; Great Britain 1 silver; Norway 1 silver; France 1 silver. Thus, the data do not match and give a similar "error" not only for Great Britain, but also for other countries. Until now, the IOC has not recognized Art competitions as "olympic event", but may recognize them as such in the future. In any case, we should not have to do partial update concerning Art competitions only for Great Britain and only for 1920.
2) Minus 1 gold medal for Great Britain. It is definitely Sailing at the 1920 Summer Olympics – 18' Dinghy This event was always in question, since only one competitor from GB participated, and he did not finish. The IOC has recognized this event before. Looks like the IOC has quietly struck out it from it from their database. In any case, if there is confirmation of this, we should to fix at the same time Sailing at the 1920 Summer Olympics – 18' Dinghy and Sailing at the 1920 Summer Olympics

Can someone please correct the Winter Olympics map as Nigeria, Eritrea, Kosovo, Singapore, Malaysia and Ecuador competed in 2018 and Haiti and Saudia Arabia in 2022 and they aren't updated as states which have taken part. Chiemgau05 (talk) 18:51, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

I find this article too long for what it is. While reading this, I felt like I was seeing the same things several times in different places. And to be honest, I really think the first big table is enough. We can retrieve all the information given by the other tables by applying the right filters to this table. So maybe we can just keep this table and delete everything else. It might be a little brutal but at least it will be cleaner. Virkin (talk) 12:52, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
