At press time, some of the key athletes on the United States women's and men's gymnastics teams, including stars like Jordan Chiles and Brody Malone, do not yet have featured images on their respective Wikipedia pages.

Article tagging

How do articles show up at Wikipedia:WikiProject Olympics/New articles that have not been tagged with {{WikiProject Olympics}}? Asking in regard to Oscar Goodman (basketball). His article is tagged with {{WikiProject Basketball}} due to his extensive play in FIBA tournaments.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 12:49, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Read the first line of the "new articles" page and follow the link. You will find that it uses rules that predict the likelihood of an article belonging to a project. Schwede 66 18:35, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:Schwede66, the list does not list include basketball or FIBA competition. So I don't understand how it works.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 05:13, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don’t understand the details either. But I know that there are always articles included that should not be there. It’s just the way it is. Schwede 66 06:26, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Got it.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 07:00, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Bad IP edits in articles on 2024 Olympic boxing

Since about a month I have on my watchlist edits of an IP hopper on 2024 Olympic boxing competitions. I seen them once spilling out into another sport, and the IP is dynamic, so it is difficult to check. The example is this (and the IP returned to restore my partial revert here. The first paragraph is just incorrect, since IOC currently does not use names for weight categories, and the statement "this is the fourth appearance of the flyweight category at the Olympics" does not make sense. The second paragraph is not incorrect, but is written in a bad English, and the details are unclear (for example, the "silver medalist" refers to the 2020 silver medalist). All their additions are unsourced. I have seen literally dozens of those (they edited all boxing competitions multiple times); sometimes I tried to copyedit, sometimes I reverted as in this case. If I revert, they eventually come back. They never discuss anything. I can of course let it go and leave this horrible prose in the articles but I think this is not what Wikipedia is about. Any advise is appreciated. Ymblanter (talk) 18:50, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
