This article should adhere to the gender identity guideline because it contains material about one or more trans women. Precedence should be given to self-designation as reported in the most up-to-date reliable sources, anywhere in article space, even when it doesn't match what's most common in reliable sources. Any person whose gender might be questioned should be referred to by the pronouns, possessive adjectives, and gendered nouns (for example "man/woman", "waiter/waitress", "chairman/chairwoman") that reflect that person's latest expressed gender self-identification. Some people go by singular they pronouns, which are acceptable for use in articles. This applies in references to any phase of that person's life, unless the subject has indicated a preference otherwise. Former, pre-transition names may only be included if the person was notable while using the name; outside of the main biographical article, such names should only appear once, in a footnote or parentheses.If material violating this guideline is repeatedly inserted, or if there are other related issues, please report the issue to the LGBT WikiProject, or, in the case of living people, to the BLP noticeboard. |
Please stay calm and civil while commenting or presenting evidence, and do not make personal attacks. Be patient when approaching solutions to any issues. If consensus is not reached, other solutions exist to draw attention and ensure that more editors mediate or comment on the dispute. |

"The Olympic Flame was electronically transmitted from Athens to Ottawa." - How the BLEEP did they do that, or get away with the claim that they were doing it? It makes no SENSE. My puny research skills aren't up to it but this bit of PR gibberish bugs me.
Nadia got 7 perfect 10s, it turns out, because the Sovs conspired to push the individual scores higher, so they'd win the team title. Trekphiler 17:57, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
Please do NOT remove information that Pierre Trudeau was from Montreal. He was the prime minister during the Olympics and he was from the host city of the Olympics. SNIyer12 18:37, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
Information from the IOC bulletin Olympic Review contradicts to the information in this article (the source of which is BBC - see the 2nd external link) - e.g. Mali boycotted the Games, etc. However, I have no idea, how this could be corrected. Cmapm 11:10, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
Apparently, the organizing committee for the 1976 games allowed for the demonstration sports of lacrosse and water skiing, but the IOC decided not to have them on the programme. [Reference here]. I have no idea where to put this tidbit of info. Highlights? Medals awarded?
That site has all the information you could ever want on the Olympics and I think should be incorperated in ALL the wikipedia entries.
I find the information about the boycott difficult to understand. Can someone please clarify? Why did some African nations boycott? --geekyßroad. meow? 06:58, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
That info needs to be in the article, with a source, of course. Right now the article makes no sense at all. 79.138.157.194 (talk) 02:03, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
Why isn't the fact that the Olympics were an economic fiasco mentioned? —Preceding unsigned comment added by MrInitialMan (talk • contribs) 01:34, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
Here, it says China (Taiwan) boycotted the 1976 games, but according to what I have learned, the Canadian government did not permit Taiwan to participate. I will try to find a source and amend the article accordingly. ludahai 魯大海 (talk) 03:49, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
July 17, 1976 16:02 hours.
The ceremony started with a fanfarre of trumpets and inmediatly the announcer in French and English announces the arrive to the official stand of honour of HM Queen Elizabeth II accompanied by HRH Prince Philip, Prince Andrew, Roger Rouseau chairman of the Organising Committee and IOC President Lord Killanin. After this a group of youth from the five continents sang O Canada. The announcers declares in French and English that the Greek delegation like tradition and according to the Olympic rules starts with the parade of the 94 participating national delegations. Opposite to the stand of honour the Montreal Olympic Orchestra under the baton of Victor Vogel plays his work "The March of Athletes" which follows like background the parade of the athletes.
After the contigents have taken up their positions in the pitch of the Montreal Olympic Stadium crowded by 73,000 spectators the IOC president Lord Killanin and Roger Rouseau addresses. At 16.34 hours after invitate by Lord Killanin hER Majesty Queen Elizabeth II declares the Games of the XXI Olympiad open.
With a fanfarre is announced the arrival of the Olympic Flag to the Montreal Olympic Stadium carried by eight male athletes and four female athletes representing the Canadian provincies. After that is announcing the ceremony of the Olympic flag handover from Munich to Montreal. Accompaning by 64 dancers, 16 musicians and eight singers wearing Bavarian costumes having like background the strains of the Bayerisch Delifirthe Olympic flag enters to the Olympic stadium through the marathon gate and by the northwest gate of the stadium a group of Montreal troupe enters wearing costumes of the of St.Lawrence Valley formed with the same number of dancers,musicians and singers.In this moment George Kronawiter mayor of Munich passes the Olympic flag to Lord Killanin and he passed it to the mayor of Montreal Jean Drapeau. The troupe dances a suite of Quebec music next the Munich and Montreal dancers performs a waltz-lancers to Bavarian and Quebec tunes and finally headed by the Olympic bearer the dancers leaves the stadium moving to the northwest exit.

Finally the opening ceremonies concludes perfoming the national Canadian anthem by the Olympic chorus and orchestra.--Nekko09 (talk) 04:50, 11 November 2009 (UTC) Official Report of the 1976 Summer Olympic Games volume I part II
Streaker The most memorable event in the opening ceremony was a male streaker running through the rings of dancers. This was before broadcasters routinely turned their cameras away to avoid giving streakers publicity consequently he was prominent in many pictures taken at that time. If anyone has a reliable reference this really should be noted.OrewaTel (talk) 07:12, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
Wasn't this the olympics where it was later uncovered the East German Women's Swimming team was doping (or was doped unknowingly)? I expected to see some mention of that. Gamecat42 (talk) 20:21, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

It is unclear to me how many and which countries boycotted due to the New Zealand rugby tour of South Africa. The article lists 28 countries, but the source lists 22. On the NZ rugby team page they say 33, but the (different) source there says 25 and then lists 22 (but these 22 don't exactly match the 22 in the source from this article - for example there is a discrepancy about Mali vs. Malawi). Both these sources are pretty poor - a newspaper article about "On this day in 1976..." and a random, untitled PDF. I'm not sure how best to clean this up, maybe someone else wants to try?Paul55604 (talk) 16:07, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
In the article Boxing at the 1976 Summer Olympics lists four boxers with the country code "BUF". I'm not aware of any country ever using the code "BUF". This message board thread shows these boxers under "BUR", which I believe would be Burma. However, the list of participating countries on 1976 Summer Olympics does not show Burma or Myanmar. If we can in any way corroborate that these boxers competed then Burma should be added to the list. -Drdisque (talk) 03:28, 18 January 2014 (UTC)
Per current MOS:IDENTITY policy as laid out to me by admin Guy I am going to re-insert Caitlyn Jenner in this article (as I tried to last month) to soften her dead name and to clarify and wikilink to her live name. Per Guy we may need to go a step further and completely delete her dead name, as consensus is never permitted to override policy (that is another policy). There are ongoing WP:VPP discussions to tweak the MOS:IDENTITY policy. Cheers! Checkingfax (talk) 20:58, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
Francis Schonken, Last month you removed Caitlyn Jenner's live name that was in parentheses and then took it a step further by removing the piped wikilink from her live name and replacing it with a dead named redirect wikilink. You totally nuked her live name and her hidden live named wikilink. How do you rationalize that? Especially after getting the ACDS warning back in June. ...Checkingfax ( Talk ) 13:58, 15 October 2015 (UTC)

From http://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/july/17/newsid_3555000/3555450.stm: "The list of those boycotting the Olympics is: Libya, Iraq, Kenya, Zambia, Nigeria, Gambia, Sudan, Ghana, Tanzania, Uganda, Algeria, Ethiopia, Madagascar, Central African Republic, Gabon, Chad, Togo, Niger, Congo, Mauritius, Upper Volta and Malawi."
That is 22, and from that list we can add Cameroon, Guyana, Mali, Swaziland, Egypt, Morocco, and Tunisia. So then it would add up to 29. The other non-participating NOCs didn't show up for other various reasons.1982vdven (talk) 18:28, 25 August 2016 (UTC)

template at the top of this talk page that makes it clear that although the Caitlyn Jenner article is supposed to treat Jenner like a woman, this article is supposed to treat Jenner like a man per the "use context to decide" words. Any thoughts?? Georgia guy (talk) 00:36, 8 May 2018 (UTC)
"East German athletes Hans-Georg Reimann, Karl-Heinz Müller and Waldemar Cierpinski at the Olympic Village"
According to the wikilink provided, Karl-Heinz Müller was an Austrian athlete. There could conceivably have been a GDR athlete with a similar name, but having looked at Müller (surname) I see no obvious candidate. Can anyone shed any light? Harfarhs (talk) 07:47, 17 February 2019 (UTC)
There's a template at the top of this talk page saying:
Other articles should use context to determine which name or names to provide on a case-by-case basis.
This doesn't give any emphasis to how it applies to this article. Please emphasize this sentence so that it says something like (feel free to think of a better wording):
Contrary to consistency with the main Caitlyn Jenner article, which treats her as a woman, this article should treat her as a man because of its context.
Any thoughts on this?? Georgia guy (talk) 23:50, 17 November 2019 (UTC)
