Therefore, these events were held in Stockholm (Sweden) marking the second, and so far last time, that events of the same Olympics were held in different countries.
When was the first time? This says that 1956 was the only time that the Olympics had not been held in a single city/country. ⇒ whkoh [ talk] 12:00, May 23, 2004 (UTC)
Is it really appropriate to categorically state that there were such broad concerns about hosting the games in the Norther Hemisphere's winter when the final round of voting was between Melbourne and Buenos Aires, another city in the Southern Hemisphere. It doesn't seem as if the voters minded at all. Dhicks3 ( talk) 06:47, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
Why didn't San Francisco get a vote candidate? It didn't enter round 1.
This article says that Bejing (China) and Hong Kong will be co-hosting the 2008 games. Is this verifiable? I think it's incorrect but I will not change it until that is confirmed. Smartyshoe 20:30, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

There should be a section on the introduction of television into Melbourne to coincide with the Olympics. R o gerthat Talk 09:20, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
Could this stunt ( http://www.museumofhoaxes.com/pranks/olympic.html) possibly be verified? I think it might be worth including in the article.
Does anyone know exactly which Premier and PM are referred to in the 4th paragraph? I'd like to link them to the specific person rather than just the page on those positions. FiggyBee 14:53, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

"Once the games were underway, though, they certainly went well. The Aussies were excellent hosts, both friendly and efficient." Is this really acceptable to write in Wikipedia? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.166.227.38 ( talk) 22:33, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
Nope. And I'm not gonna erase it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.146.4.123 ( talk) 03:37, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
The first paragraph stated that the Melbourne games were the only Games hosted outside of North America or Europe until Sydney 2000; this is incorrect (Tokyo 1964 and Seoul 1988). The paragraph has been corrected to add Asia to the list of host continents. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.6.146.58 ( talk) 17:34, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
The official Olympic website the games of 1956 states the games as Melbourne/Stockholm. I suggest that in the infobox the name follow. 01:23, 30 June 2008 (UTC) Moonraker0022 ( talk)
