[edit] Older topics
I do not like this article. The first thing it mentions about the Games is this terrible terrorist massacre. Why? That is yellow press-style not that of an encyclopedia.

- Unfortunately, the massacre is probably what people remember most about the games. It should not be buried deep in the article. Funnyhat 21:32, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)
In case someone has this on their watchlist, please see if you can answer my question at Wikipedia:Reference desk#Ymer Pampuri. Thanks, Dori | Talk 17:31, Mar 28, 2004 (UTC)
We should find a better headline than "Highlights" for the section whose first entry is the terrorist incident. AxelBoldt 10:23, 10 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- I've converted it to "Facts". Hopefully this will be better. --Jeroenvrp 01:47, 21 Jan 2005 (UTC)
I have added a little bit more information (second and third paragraph) on the Games in general and corrected the info on the Munich Massacre. As english is not my first language I hope someone will correct all mistakes I made. Thank you! Dani_skr 21:23, 26 Sep 2005 (GMT)
Could someone who knows their history better than I add either "West" or "East" before the first mention of "Germany"? Thanks.
- It was West Germany. I've amended the article to reflect that. -- Jonel | Speak 03:53, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Double Terrorist Coverage
In the opening paragraphs it describes the terrorist attack twice in quick succession. Which one should be deleted?
[edit] spielberg?
The fact that Steven Spielberg made a hollywood film about the massacre more than 30 years after it happened does not seem noteworthy enough to mention in the first section of the article. Why not talk about the massacre itself rather than a distorted, biased interpretation of it?
[edit] Did China participate this year, or not?
Why is Republic of China colored grey on the map of participating nations? They are listed in the "Participating Nations" section of the article, but they are not green on the map, so one has to be incorrect. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.129.71.19 (talk) 00:33, 9 January 2007 (UTC).
- Republic of China (Taiwan) is colored green on the map. You sure you dont mean Mainland China --Astrokey44 00:41, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Prefontaine
Prefontaine was a long-distance runner, not middle distance. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.192.52.62 (talk • contribs).
