Comment edit
Why does this need a Wikipedia article?? Are there many people who think there really were Olympics in 1916?? 66.245.119.206 00:04, 26 May 2004 (UTC)
- H.L. Mencken had something to say on that point - not about the Olympics, but about it being impossible to underestimate the intelligence of...ah well, people, I don't want to be US-centric here ;-) even when it's directed at my own country. Ellsworth 22:54, 20 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- For the sake of completeness, if nothing else. It could even go further in-deph, illustrating how much work was done, and the details behind the cancellation. Nprefontaine 23:41, 14 Oct 2005 (UTC)
- There was planning and preparation. It was not a null event. -68.90.158.6 (talk) 03:28, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

Image edit
Is there any type of main image anyone can get for this to make this look similar to the other pages of the Olympic Games?
Was there ever any image/logo for the 1916 games?
A program cover, official logo, etc.?

"Before the war started" edit
I suggest that if it is ultimately decided not to move this page, that the section "Before the war started" be removed. It seems to have been written at about a high-school level to begin with, and I heavily edited it before finally giving up. Rontrigger (talk) 04:27, 10 June 2023 (UTC)
