- H.L. Mencken had something to say on that point - not about the Olympics, but about it being impossible to underestimate the intelligence of...ah well, people, I don't want to be US-centric here ;-) even when it's directed at my own country. Ellsworth 22:54, 20 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- For the sake of completeness, if nothing else. It could even go further in-deph, illustrating how much work was done, and the details behind the cancellation. Nprefontaine 23:41, 14 Oct 2005 (UTC)

[edit]Is there any type of main image anyone can get for this to make this look similar to the other pages of the Olympic Games?
Was there ever any image/logo for the 1916 games?
A program cover, official logo, etc.?

"Before the war started"
[edit]I suggest that if it is ultimately decided not to move this page, that the section "Before the war started" be removed. It seems to have been written at about a high-school level to begin with, and I heavily edited it before finally giving up. Rontrigger (talk) 04:27, 10 June 2023 (UTC)
