Statistics updated

So far I've updated the tennis statistics (only finals left), but it's my first time modifying tables, It was kinda easy but maybe I did some mistake, in that case please notify me and I will change it.

-Fencing section done. -Canoeing (Slalom) section done.

the 8th reference can be taken out

because it said something like "athlete1 and athlete2 will represent spain at..." when the results are there, not needed anymore. Wikitestor (talk) 22:07, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm modifying athletics, dont touch it even if its not finished

I've a problem with the ranks:

Imagine this:

On the first round of some discipline, there are 4 heats, and the first 2 of each one qualify to the final and the 3rd and 4th to the semifinal.

Imagine now someone gets 3rd in one heat (QS). He has rank 3th or he has the rank accordingly to the table overall? (all the heats mixed). If its this last, we will need to wait till the games are over to have the completed list and put the ranks here. Wikitestor (talk) 12:50, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have been checking other countries, just 3 examples: Germany, Great Britain and USA. Nobody is following a rule, whether by country or by sport... sometimes overall rank, sometimes heat rank. I have just put Q or q where appropriate in my edits, left position out, awaiting for consensus REO1976 (talk) 22:13, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah I've checking usa, china and some more and they've different rules, so I was doing exactly that, putting Q or q depending on the qualifying type. But I think TOTAL HEAT RANK should be used, this means, if it was 3th on his heat, he may be 3th, 5th or 18th. Wikitestor (talk) 23:01, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm using total heat rank for everything since now on (Used on all swimming section and soon on athletism). Wikitestor (talk) 00:14, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

So am I. Edited Men's athletics, completed all ranks to date. By the way, using as source http://www.iaaf.org/oly08/results/eventCode=3659/bydiscipline/disctype=4/index.html REO1976 (talk) 01:16, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

WOW, GREAT SOURCE, thanks. To get the swimming ranks I counted between heats.... -.- 81.184.38.21 (talk) 01:57, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ah wrong, here u've to count between heats too :(, but at least the info is there. 81.184.38.21 (talk) 02:01, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why LOW priority instead of MID?

Argentina is a lot more incomplete and worse and has MID... Wikitestor (talk) 18:05, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

problems allocating the "by genre" table.

I don't know how to put the "medals by genre" table UNDER the "medals by day" one, so the three tables would fit PERFECT. I've trying aligning it right all times in different positions but it does not work, help me please :P Wikitestor (talk) 20:46, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What about appending "medals by genre" to "medals by day"? I have tried to do it, but my editing skills are very limited, I'm very newbie ;) The idea would be "medals by day" on top, then one (or several) blank line(s) (is it technically possible without borders?) and then "medals by genre" at the bottom. If the "borderless" line is not possible, then it isn't very elegant though REO1976 (talk) 21:23, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Good idea, it may be possible putting a lot of white/invisible lines with no data maybe, im gonna try. ty! 81.184.38.21 (talk) 22:54, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
