Did You Know
A fact from this article appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the "Did you know?" column on March 17, 2012.
The text of the entry was: Did you know ... that IOC founder Pierre de Coubertin, under a pseudonym, won a gold medal at the 1912 Summer Olympics?

Is there any more information on this subject, as it seems most of the categories have been left out?

The article doesnt mention anything or links to the subject (As in the "medals" section). What "medals" was a gold medal won for? that makes no sense. The lead is far to massive and covers stuff that should be background/history. It seems everything thats not list is lead and thats not the purpose of a lead. Further none of the lists are tagged with any refs.

Also per CCC, things can change. the nature of WP indicated there can be other issues that were not visible to others.
As for the FL listed above it was woefully short and inadequate. "Support – Meets FL standards" doesnt explain anything and was mere vote counting. IT also only deal with technical aspects and not content where a featured status needs to be clear and thorough. All in all it was poorly promoted and reflective of the process.(Lihaas (talk) 23:09, 31 July 2012 (UTC)).Reply
To me this seems like WP:IDONTLIKEIT; I see personal opinions but no policies cited. I'm not convinced but, then again, I'm obviously not likely to be, so why not take it to WP:FLCR then and get a community assessment? Canadian Paul 00:13, 1 August 2012 (UTC)Reply
