Swimming?[edit]

Are there no swimmers in Team GB? Roger (talk) 19:49, 21 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There are. Myself and User:Pilchard have been adding the various sports over the last few days, the page isn't yet complete - Basement12 (T.C) 19:58, 21 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I see. I wonder if your method might be better than the way I constructed the South Africa page - I first created all the sections with just the bare minimum content then I filled in the details (with your excellent help of course). Your method means you don't ever have incomplete "bare bones" sections visible to the readers. Roger (talk) 20:15, 21 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Information on classifications[edit]

There is a lack of information across WP on what the various disability classifications - S6, S7, etc. - in the different events, such as swimming, actually mean, other than in occasional articles like S8 (classification). Is this being addressed? Ghmyrtle (talk) 09:00, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There is Disability sport classification but it is not that concise. Beyond Wp this is also a problem with spectators often confused as to the nature of the disability of the athletes they are watching. Needs tighter definition on Wp but not sure of the best source.--Egghead06 (talk) 09:09, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Ah - OK, I hadn't found that article, thanks. Maybe the links to it need to be improved? Ghmyrtle (talk) 09:18, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
PS: Incidentally, it seems that the information on that page is contested, though it's not clear why. Ghmyrtle (talk) 09:23, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Team name[edit]

"The team is also referred to as "Team GB".[3] Representatives of the devolved Northern Ireland government have objected to the name, which they argue creates a perception that Northern Ireland is not part of the British team, and have called for the team to be renamed as Team UK.[4][5]" This is incorrect, "Team GB" is the Olympic team, the Paralympic team is "ParalympicsGB", though presumably NI's objection would remain the same - though calling it UK instead of GB would still be incorrect as the teams include people from the Isle of Man and Channel Islands which are not part of the UK. -- Arwel Parry (talk) 13:14, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
