Talk:Bids for the 2008 Summer Olympics

message: Did the city of Havana, Cuba submit a bid but not make it to the short-list, or didn't it even submit a bid?  Right now, the article has it listed as both "not make it to short list" and "did not submit a bid, but planned to".  So which one is correct?  I don't see how it could be both.

thread_title:  Havana bidded? 

message: The article says that Gaza has planned a bid, but didn't submit an entry. I've never heard of a planned bid, and it's very unlikely that someone has seriously thought Gaza could host the Olympic games. Is there any source for this statement? RaLo18 19:57, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Gaza bid 

message: Thank you. This article is about the bid. Not about controversies. Please put it there. I added the neut tag after removing chunks that were blatantly biased in case there are other not neutral areas I missed/if I removed some things that were neutral.  Edit:figured out where the unvandalized version was.ηoian ‡orever ηew ‡rontiers 00:45, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Keep the propoganda off of the article. 

message: I feel like the article's topic is about the bid, but it seems to consist of a significant amount of controversies from after the bid, now it is neutral in the non-vandalized version (save for some connotations), but I don't get why controversies take up such a large percentage. Perhaps shorten it and just add the  or  tag. ηoian ‡orever ηew ‡rontiers 01:02, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Still seems somewhat not neutral, not on presenting, but on topic 

message: The entire top section looks like it is riddled, if not completely overtaken, with controversies and general disdain for China. I suggest it be removed. Zoke (talk) 02:02, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
