Is this section really needed here? It only refers to the broadcast in one country, and is more trivia than encyclopedic. It might be appropriate at, say, 2016 in American televisionorOlympics on NBC but hardly seems necessary here? -- Whats new?(talk) 03:43, 6 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
In the "Officials and guests" section, there is only a country flag, name of the official and their designation. Presently, the only way to know which country the person is from, is by hovering the mouse on top of the country flag, and looking at the link name on the status bar. The names of countries should be made visible, such as "(president of Argentina)" instead of a simple "(president)". Vedabit (talk) 06:30, 8 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The current section is a waste of time. It should have a cited list of all the songs that were used across the entire ceremony in order of appearance. ViperSnake151 Talk 22:44, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The "Personnel" section adds nothing to the article as it is; it's just a list of occupations that are needed for any performance, and the first two need to be disambiguated. Will anyone object if I delete the section? It can always be added back (with details!) later. — Gorthian (talk) 01:00, 3 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Was there ever an explanation as to why the Engenhão Olympic Stadium (named after Joao Havelange at the time of the 2016 Olympics, now named after Nilton Santos) couldn't host the Opening and Closing Ceremonies for the 2016 Olympics? I couldn't find any sources explaining the reasons for the decision to put the ceremonies at the Maracanã. This could probably be asked on the talk page for the Games' closing ceremony as well. The "Venue" section of this article should be detailing the reasons, if any, for this decision instead of a straight copying-and-pasting of a paragraph from the Maracana Stadium article.Jim856796 (talk) 02:56, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
