Creating Page

I have created this page fso there is now a record of all the flag bearers who took part in the closing ceremony, now the list which I have currently created is totaly wrong with the wrong flag bearers at the moment but the order to which the countries came in is correct, all that is needed to be done is the names need changing and the sports which they are assacited with.

Following the previous message: please don't create (and abandon) pages with "totally wrong" information. I have removed the complete list of flag bearers, because even though it was fully sourced, much of it was incorrect. The basic source[1] lists the flag bearers for the opening ceremony, not for the closing ceremony. E.g. for Belgium the flag bearer wasn't Godefroid but Hellebaut[2]. For India, the article gave Rathore, but the actual flag bearer was Vijender Singh. For the UK, instead of Mark Foster, it was Chris Hoy. If even countries like the UK are wrong, then the list is completely unreliable.

Please, if you want to recreate the list, only add clearly confirmed flag bearers, and don't use the olympic org source (which only lists the opening ceremnoy flag bearers). Fram (talk) 09:53, 18 November 2014 (UTC)Reply
