Talk:2002 Winter Olympics

I moved this article to the common Olympic names format "(Year) (Season) Olympics", but I haven't moved the subpages, because I want them to become real pages, not subpages. As I do not yet have a suitable name that I like, I'll do this when I've found one. Jeronimo 04:20 Aug 5, 2002 (PDT)

Is it necessary to break this up into sub-pages? The Games are an event of pre-determined duration with a finite set of medal winners that are best viewed on a single page. ---User:Eclecticology

The reason to break it up into subpages is because the single page was getting much too long. What makes it "best viewed on a single page"? It makes sense to have a summary count on the front page, but at least to me having several windowlengths of information doesn't best give the information. --The Cunctator

This was removed as being "US-centered":

A feature of this Olympics has been the emergence of the so-called "extreme" sports, such as snowboarding, moguls and aerials, which appeared in previous Olympics but have captured public attention this year as never before.

I restored it. It seems true to me that these sports, which are relatively new to the Olympics, are receiving more attention than they did four years ago. (I'm not particularly a fan of these sports; it just seems to me that it's an appropriate observation.) If someone could explain why this is a "US-centered" remark, please do. -- RjLesch

I don't know about it being US-centric, but how has it captured the public's attention as never before?--branko
