Talk:1908 Summer Olympics

message: In one of the notes below in  the article cites I read that the flags of China and Japan were flying in the White City Stadium during the opening ceremonies. China and Japan don´t participated in the Games.--Bicko2008 (talk) 02:04, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: More can be said about this, which we do on the page Olympiad, but basically an olympiad is a four year period between starts of olympic competitions. Hence, the summer games are always Games of the Olympiad for the olympiad that starts with the opening of those games. Aliter 16:35, 13 Jan 2005 (UTC)

message: In this article, it is mentioned that the unlucky Italian marathon runner (who was disqualified because he received assistance just before he crossedt he finish line) was awarded a gold cup by "Queen Alexandra" (of Denmark). Should this link to Alexandrine of Mecklenburg-Schwerin? Guaca 09:15, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I suspect a confusion; Alexandrine did not become Queen Consort of Denmark until 1912, the woman is more likely to be the then British Queen Consort in 1908, Queen Alexandra (born a Princess of Denmark), Edward VII's wife.Cloptonson (talk) 15:24, 19 April 2016 (UTC)

message: This article should mention that the  1906 olympics are not considered official and these olympics were considered the fourth, which explains the first line of the 1912 "V Olympiad". 134.250.72.141
:I've rewritten the first paragraph which hopefuly now makes this clear. I have linked to the pages about the 1906 Games and also the Intercalated Games which hopefully makes it reasonably understandably, but it would be good to have a succient explanation somewhere of the change in status of 1906, e.g. I can't find a date for the IOC's decision anywhere in Wikipedia, I'll look into it more and find somewhere to write about it when I have time.

message: I am hesitant to link the name of the Princess Mary said (Introduction section) to have instigated the routing of the Marathon under the window of the Royal Nursery at Windsor; I suspect it may have been either Princess Mary of Wales, who in 1910 became Queen Mary when husband succeeded as George V), the mother, or her daughter (then 11 years old) who was later known as The Princess Royal after 1910. Which one was it?Cloptonson (talk) 15:29, 19 April 2016 (UTC)
