File talk:Olympic boycotts 1976 1980 1984.PNG

Discussion copied from wikipedia ifd...

• Image:Olympic_boycotts_1976_1980_1984.PNG - UE. First, no sources cited. Second, as stated in its description, "data on countries which boycotted the 1980 games is incomplete", but it's incomplete not just for countries, which boycotted 1980 Games, but also incomplete for countries, which participated in 1980 Games - e.g. Mali, Botswana and Mozambique participated there, but are coloured in grey. Claimed China's boycott of 1980 is very doubtful - did it boycott or just didn't participate - as in all previous Olympics? Taiwan's boycott and colouring as a separate state is controversial too.

These are valid objections, but the image is too useful to be deleted until a superior version is avaliable which addresses your concerns. Photoshop might come in handy.Timothy Usher 10:49, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

IMHO, unsourced controversial, to say the least, information is not useful. Besides, the same image was uploaded by the same user into many interwikis, and I'm not going to correct somebody in such many places. So, I stick to my delete vote. After all, it can be then reuploaded after appropriate adjustments. Cmapm 11:45, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Firstly, this discussion shouldnt even be here, since the image is on commons and isnt on wikipedia - it should be here. Also you only need to change the one image on commons and it will change all the images anywhere it appears on other wikipedias. -- Astrokey44|talk 14:43, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Keep. I've stopped and looked at this a few times and it is quite interesting. It's out of the ordinary, and something you won't find anywhere else. It also acts to break up the page. The user who created this is a credible person, as he has made many such maps. Strong keep, as I disagree with everything said above. Maybe someone just needs to tweek it, but not delete it. → J@red  19:48, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

• The source for the info on the 76 and 84 boycotting countries was the wikipedia pages on the respective olympics. The source for the 1980 info was old TIME magazine archives available online from 1980 (I could not find a complete list of countries anywhere), then I also updated the map based on an expanded version of the 1980 boycott page list. Ok - youre probably right about China, I have taken it out. (although just because it didnt participate before doesnt mean it couldnt have boycotted these - it may have planned to participate for the first time there, but then boycotted them) Taiwan is marked correctly - it did boycott in 76, although for a different reason than the African boycott. Yes, it does not show all those which participated in the 1980 games because it would be too complicated to show all possible combinations of participated/not participated for three games on the one map - I have now created separate maps of just the participating countries to solve this: 1976, 1980 and 1984 -- Astrokey44|talk 14:38, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your work! I change my vote to keep now, but, please, when you get more information, update the image accordingly. Cmapm 00:05, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

Error on the map - Libya also boycotted in 1984.

I have just provided a source in w:Olympic Games scandals and controversies‎#1984 Summer Olympics showing that Libya also boycotted the 1984 Olympics. Please update the map to reflect this. Cheers! BD2412 T 21:57, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
