Lead:

• "will be an international multi-sport event to be held in Rio de Janeiro..." – Unlink "international" and remove "to be";

• Choose between "pre-exisiting" or "existing", when referring to the venue status;

• Why are golf and rubgy sevens frequently capitalized?

Done. Felipe Menegaz 15:59, 7 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Any developments on the IGF decision concerning the golf venue?

No. Felipe Menegaz 15:59, 7 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• "Rio de Janeiro is planning to hold all the competitions inside the city..." – Rio de Janeiro or ROCOG?

Both. Felipe Menegaz 15:59, 7 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

But ROCOG already includes city officials, no? In my opinion ROCOG suits better, but I won't make a fuss over it.

• "...officialy known as Jornalista Mário Filho Stadium..." – Forgot an "l" in "officially";

General:

• I don't see the need to explicit in every section title that they are competition venues, unless you also have sections for non-competition venues, which you don't;

]

OK, but I think that the Beijing page should have that dealt with in some way, as well. Actually, I don't know why there aren't any mentions to the non-competition venues, such as the Olympic Village, MPC and IBC in these pages...

• Many of the Olympic venues were already used for the 2007 Pan Ams, so you should add some adequately licensed images of those. If you do, don't forget to add a proper alt text;

What about add pictures (some non-free) to the tables? Felipe Menegaz 16:16, 7 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fine by me, provided the tables are kept simple and their layout isn't majorly disrupted. Parutakupiu (talk) 00:57, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Remove that "Pic." header and place the image column under the "Venue" header. It's a pity that they appear so small... If you didn't add images for all venues, then you could place those images outside the tables, but I prefer to have pics if they are available. We gotta find a way of having them all, but bigger. I will think of something. Parutakupiu (talk) 22:51, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I was thinking to add lots of iformation such as coordinates, building cost, constructions years, location (Olympic zone), etc. We gotta find a way of having them all... Felipe Menegaz 02:38, 9 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• There are plenty of redirects and some of them should be fixed.

Red links:

• There are several red links in this page. Are you planning to create articles for each one of the red links?

Yes. Felipe Menegaz 22:28, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Notes:

• There is a typo in the Notes section: 'Although the official opening of the games is scheduled to be on August 5, 2016, football matchs will begin on August 3" – Forgot an "E" in "matches";

Done. Felipe Menegaz 22:28, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Competition venues:

• Are you planning to add images to all the competition venues (the following sections lack images, at the moment: Existing competition venues, Temporary competition venues and Competition venues outside Rio de Janeiro)?

Yes. I stopped because I was thinking in adding the non-free images to the existing venues. These venues will be renovated and would be interesting to use the non-free images to show how they will look like in 2016. Felipe Menegaz 22:28, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
