Thanks about your contributions on 2020 ceremony

thanks again for your great job on this article. But you cannot cancel an entire section that described the ceremony itself with the 3 main moments (opening and flame) and put all those elements elsewhere, changing the links and sources.--Arorae (talk) 08:47, 19 July 2021 (UTC)

• I appreciate the work you do gathering information and references for these pages. Often it allows for facts not picked up earlier to be made available on Wikipedia. I think I understand the confusion, and I would like to make my case below:

1. I'm following the format of 2012 Summer Olympics opening ceremony as the baseline template for this page. I've chosen it as it has Good-Article status. In that article, the main summary of the ceremony is called "Proceedings". I can see that in the 2016 Summer Olympics opening ceremony that this section is called "Ceremony", but I think a case can be made that it is still at a C-class article, and the section should also be changed to "Proceedings". In 4 days, we will have the full list of proceedings and we'll be slowly adding paragraphs describing what happens in each section. This is why I also changed "Performers" to "Proceedings" as it is more describing events than who is performing.
2. Much of the content such as who are the Directors and Producers, and the theme has been mentioned in the "Preparations" section, and those facts in other Opening ceremony pages are discussed there.
3. I can see that the paragraph about the formal opening, the line "The Olympic cauldron will be lit by an athlete, still unknown." and the line about Cornelius can be moved to the proceedings section.

Would love to hear your thoughts. Lama12 (talk) 09:39, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
