Sounds great! Any sport you are particularly interested in updating? Right now we are trying to update the nation pages before the games start. Intoronto1125TalkContributions 17:16, 12 October 2011 (UTC)Reply
Which karate team? Why don't you go ahead and put it up? Intoronto1125TalkContributions 17:31, 12 October 2011 (UTC)Reply
Hey, when adding the teams can you add them how they are formatted on Canada's page? Thanks. Intoronto1125TalkContributions 02:10, 13 October 2011 (UTC)Reply

Well, all the Spanish speaking countries a (Argentina, Chile, Venezuela, Colombia, Cuba, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Guatemala etc.) and Brazil need to be updated. Intoronto1125TalkContributions 03:17, 13 October 2011 (UTC)Reply
BTW there was an error in the modern pentathlon template, which I fixed on Canada's page. Sorry! Intoronto1125TalkContributions 03:30, 13 October 2011 (UTC)Reply

You can use this link [1] for update to date entries. Intoronto1125TalkContributions 17:43, 13 October 2011 (UTC)Reply

You have to use "col span" on the person's name. You only have to list the person's name once if they are doing more then one event. Just use Canada's page as an example. Intoronto1125TalkContributions 19:20, 13 October 2011 (UTC)Reply
Just a heads up those people asking you to join a forum are not allowed to on Wikipedia. Thanks for your contributions, however do remember to put "row span" for only the athletes column not the event column please. Secondly, if there is not a sentence in the sport your updating on a nation page, can you write like a basic sentence like, Bermuda has qualified a team of six athletes. Thanks.

Your doing a great job keep it up! Intoronto1125TalkContributions 01:37, 14 October 2011 (UTC)Reply
Remember, when putting the rosters for team sports to follow the system on Canada's page. For the sport your looking for just copy Canada's page and just fill in the names. Secondly, do not leave names with them not being linked. Use and to link then. THanks. Intoronto1125TalkContributions 15:28, 14 October 2011 (UTC)Reply
