RfC:Sponsor Name or Generic Name?
[edit]On the articles for Olympic events, should the venues hosting them be referred to by their regular corporate-sponsor name or their generic name that those venues use specifically for the Olympics? An example to follow would be the articles for Ice Hockey at the 2010 Winter Olympics, where the larger of the venues is referred to as "Canada Hockey Place" in the infobox instead of its sponsored name at the time "General Motors Place".
On this article, PeeJay insists on using only the regular sponsored name of the finals arena, under the belief that Wikipedia is not beholden to the IOC's sponsorship rules. PeeJay has not done this with the Gymnastics at the 2024 Olympics articles, however. I'm not going to bother re-inserting the generic name again, because then PeeJay will just drag me into an edit war.Jim856796 (talk) 22:16, 11 August 2024 (UTC)
- See Wikipedia:Official names which says
Official names of sponsored sports ... venues change whenever a sponsorship agreement begins or ends. Many countries and corporations have official names that are intended as propaganda or promotion
. Why do you need a full-blown thirty-day formal RfC for this? Apart from User talk:NoWikiNoLife#PeeJay Insists on Using a Sponsor Name Instead of Generic Name for Venue of 2024 Summer Olympics Basketball Tournament articles. (which is not mentioned above), I see no indication that WP:RFCBEFORE has been tried, let alone exhausted. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 06:37, 12 August 2024 (UTC)- @Redrose64: I started that RfC because of the potential for PeeJay changing the reference to Bercy Arena back to Accor Arena and erasing its generic name used during this year's Summer Olympics is I re-inserted said generic name again, whether on this article or articles for sports at future Olympics-es, and I didn't see any other options. Other editors haven't made the same reversions PeeJay did to this article last month. Jim856796 (talk) 15:46, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
- Three weeks on, and I still don't see any justification for an RfC. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 19:51, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
- As glad as I am that you made the appropriate fix to this article's infobox, I'm still worried PeeJay might repeat the potentially problematic insertion of Olympic venues' sponsored names and emission of those same venues' generic names on articles for future Olympic events held in venues with corporate-sponsor names (for example, Unipol Forum, Crypto.com Arena, and Suncorp Stadium), even if I insert some hidden text saying not to do so. That essentially ensures that an edit war will occur. You must want me to get into an edit war, and you must want me banned from editing, and PeeJay to get away with such problematic edits in the future. If these edits becomes repeated, PeeJay should be subject to a block, or even a topic ban, from Olympic-event articles.Jim856796 (talk) 14:00, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- It should be the name used during the Olympics with the lead explaining why. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 23:50, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

NOC?
[edit]What is `noc'?????? National olympic committee - or what? articles shoould be readable by nonspecialists. 195.166.150.98 (talk) 21:39, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
This article is hard to understand.
[edit]there are a number of unexplained terms and abbreviations in this article, and the organizationis hard to follow. `i could not find an explanation of 3x3, which i am guessing is three-player teams basketball, for example.195.166.150.98 (talk) 21:48, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
