Talk:2024 Summer Olympics: Difference between revisions

I made this edit recently[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2024_Summer_Olympics&diff=prev&oldid=1244057112], which will likely be opposed by specificallysame edit 3warring editors and so creating this discussion. The info isIt to state China as being the only modern country, other than US, to have topped gold medal count at an olympics without having a home ground advantage. I reviewed Wikipedia’s core content policies - ''''Neutral Point of View (NPOV), Verifiability, and No Original Research (NOR)'''' and believe that exclusion of that edit, conflicts with these guidelines.

1. ''''Neutral Point of View (NPOV)'''':

Wikipedia strives toshould provide fair balanced coverage. Historically and consistently in many recent Olympic articles, whenever there's notable info like US winning its 1000th gold medal in 2016 olympicsOlympics or UK becoming the first country to increase medal tally after hosting a games, they are included in lead without issues. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_Summer_Olympics This year also had plenty of historic firsts butand weto includedensure thatneutrality theand U.S.fair has topped the gold medal counttreatment, andChina’s thisachievement hasof beenbeing notedthe inonly themodern leadcountry, sectionsother ofthan Olympic articlesUS, whereto itfinally istop mentionedgold itsmedal forcount thewithout fourthhome time.ground Toadvantage, ensureshould neutralityreceive andmention fairtoo treatment,without China’sissues. achievementFailing ofto tyingdo forso thewhile mostmentioning goldthat medalsUK in 20242016 shouldmerely receiveincreased mentionmedal too.count Failingright toafter dohosting sogames), only creates a biased view by acknowledging only certain countries' achievements.

2. ''''Verifiability'''': The Verifiability policy ensures that all content on Wikipedia is supported by reliable, published sources. Here are just a few examples of reputable outlets confirming China’s achievement:

3. ''''No Original Research (NOR)'''': I received replies claiming that China came second on gold medal tally but that reasoning isn't supported by reliable sources but just made up by anon editors. Wikipedia’s NOR policy prohibits the use of unpublished arguments or interpretations. The removal of China's achievement, despite substantial coverage by reliable sources, appears to favor editor-created narratives over verifiable facts. Wikipedia should not replace documented facts with personal interpretations or original reasoning.
