   a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   No edit wars, etc.:

6. It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

History

• "South African businessman Johann Rupert, chairman of Richemont, proposd that an organisation be created "based on the principle that sport can bridge the gaps in society and change the way people look at the world." - proposed
• "name being derived from the Greek word for laurel," - make a slight adjustment to this text so it reads as its name being derived from the Greek word for laurel,
• You may want to consider explaining who Jeff Bridges, Dylan McDermott and Earle Connor are. Also do the same with Lance Armstrong and Marion Jones as you have done in the lead.

Discretionary awards

• "awarded the first and only Sporting Inspiration Award" - add was at the start of this section of text.

References

• This is more slanted to FAC but you may want to consider archiving the remainder of the sources if appropriate.

Overall this is a quite neatly written article that you have put together. The only quibbles from me are minor copy-edits MWright96 (talk) 21:30, 16 November 2017 (UTC)

Hi MWright96, done all of the above apart from the archiving. I'm more than happy to do it, but do you know of a way of doing it for an entire article, rather than just one link at a time? Cheers for the review. The Rambling Man (talk) 21:37, 16 November 2017 (UTC)

I happen to know there is this programme called IBot Management which allows for the automated archiving of sources on a page. Anyway it's not a major deal breaker so am now promoting this article to GA status

I'd already run that, it doesn't archive links, just adds links to archives which already exist... but thanks for the review! The Rambling Man (talk) 09:05, 17 November 2017 (UTC)
