message: The map reflects that North Korea participated and South Korea did not, while it appears that actually the opposite occurred. 76.201.169.240 07:21, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

message: The Tokyo Olympics are the first I recall (I was 12 at the time), and the reason I recall them is that they were the first where there was any live coverage on television in the UK. This was provided by a satellite link; a great innovation at the time. However, I distinctly remember that coverage was very limited, and of relatively short duration. Can anyone state how satellite links were provided for countries other than the USA? My recollection suggests that the link was via a non-synchronous satellite (like the original Telstar). --APRCooper (talk) 19:31, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Television coverage by satellite 

message: I will be working on this article for a bit. It looks like some things are incomplete (like the events list), and I have found some errors (my first was a while back, where these gamees were credited as the first trans-pacific TV broadcast).
* I have added a gallery and made some minor corrections.
* I have just posted links to the organizing committee report. This contains a huge amount of primary information, and is avaialable for free download (as are, according to the site, all other organizing committee reports through 1988).
* Right now I am working on the venue list, and some maps. This will likely take some time.
* If anyone wants to help, the event list needs to be cross-checked with the Organizing Committee report (it looks to be shorter than the list there, but I haven't done a side by side comparison yet).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Donlammers (talk • contribs) 12:30, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Expanding the article 

message: I can find no evidence whatsoever that what is now Yoyogi park used to be part of the Meiji shrine complex. In 1910 the area was used as a test area for Japan's first plane flight (this was before Meiji Shrine was built in 1920). A 1948 US Army map shows the area as a parade ground. After that it was a housing area called "Washington Heights" and then the 1964 Olympic village. There is no evidence that at any stage the original sacred forest of Meiji Shrine was compromised. In 1967, Most of where the Olympic village stood was turned into Yoyogi park. I can also not find any evidence that the "inner garden" (Meji Shrine) and the "Outer garden" (Meiji Jingu) were ever directly connected. If anyone finds such evidence, we can link to it. In the meantime I have removed the statement that this area was originally part of Meiji Shrine.Donlammers (talk) 16:06, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
