thread_title: Image copyright problem with Image:Baseball 2008.gif

message: To shorten the time of the extra-inning game, in July 25, IBAF announces a new rule which will be adopted in 2008 Summer Olympics. If the game remains tied after 10 innings, each team can choose where in the existing batting order to begin the 11th inning, and put the previous 2 hitters in the 1st and 2nd base with none out. 
For example, if the 4th hitter in the lineup hit first in the 11th inning, the 2nd hitter will be placed at 2B and the 3rd hitter will be placed at 1B. The order of any subsequent innings will be determined by how the previous inning ended.
All other official rules and norms will remain in effect during extra innings required to determine a winner.--NullSpace (talk) 08:37, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The new rule is tested at XXIII World Junior AAA Baseball Championship (Edmonton, Canada, Jul 25 - Aug 3), and Chinese Taipei beats Puerto Rico in the 11th inning on July 31.--NullSpace (talk) 21:07, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: New Extra-Inning Rule

message: On the official 2008 Olympics Site (http://results.beijing2008.cn/WRM/ENG/INF/BB/C76A/BBM400900.shtml#BBM400902) the official table uses both winning percentage and games behind leader. Therefore, in the interest in keeping this page as close to the official site as possible, they should be included. Shootmaster 44 (talk) 07:44, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Winning Percentage/Games Behind Leader

message: The L.A. Times has criticised the US and China teams for their "dangerous" behaviour and "poor sportsmanship": "We were going to suggest that both teams be banned from the 2012 games for dangerous antics, but the Olympics committee already removed the sport from the games."

replies: text: True, not one of Olympic baseball's better days, although the last games may be most remembered by the incredible gold medal performance by South Korea : winning Asia's first Olympic baseball gold medal  and becoming the first undefeated Olympic baseball champion since Cuba in 1992 and 1996 , a feat many Koreans found to be the most impressive part of the Olympic Games . Jacques Rogge wants Major League Baseball players to participate , which may be unlikely, but there is at least some effort towards that goal. Any summary of baseball at the 2008 Olympics would have to include all that information. --Jh12 (talk) 15:31, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

message: Do the headers of the games not include the game information (eg date of play or location?)?
The information exists when trying to 'edit' -- but doesn't display on main page. Is it related to the new Wikipedia changes in Jan 2023? 2001:1970:55EA:7D00:0:0:0:5BCC (talk) 18:53, 26 January 2023 (UTC)
