More than happy to review this. MWright96 (talk) 07:49, 24 September 2016 (UTC)

Thanks; I'll be out town until Tuesday so won't be able to respond until then but I'll be more than happy to fix any concerns once I get back. - Yellow Dingo (talk) 09:27, 24 September 2016 (UTC)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

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

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

   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:

• no dab links

Lead

• Remove the wikilinks to celsius and square kilmoetre per MOS:OVERLINK

  Removed

Preview

• "Anja Dittmer was competing in her fourth Olympic triathlon, the only women in the race doing so." - woman

  Fixed

Course

• Serpentine Road is linked to the thoroughfare in India

  Unlinked

Race

• Consider adding the time zone to the start of the race - see MOS:TIMEZONE

  Added

• "The lead pack joined with the chase pack" - Do you think peoloton should be included to avoid reptition of "pack"?

  Reworded

• "Due to wet conditions the roads were wet" - Reptition of wet

  Reworded

• "Nordén and the Swedish Olympic Committee appealed against the result in the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). CAS turned down the appeal and Spirig retained the gold medal" - Try not to have the two sentences end like this.

  I'm not sure what your asking me to do here. Why shouldn't the sentences end like they do and what can be done to fix them?

  • What I'm asking you to do is to avoid using the acronym at the start of this second sentence after it has been used at the conclusion of the first sentence. For example: Nordén and the Swedish Olympic Committee appealed against the result in the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). The organisation turned down the appeal and Spirig retained the gold medal. MWright96 (talk) 06:14, 27 September 2016 (UTC)

    • Understood; done. - Yellow Dingo (talk) 06:23, 27 September 2016 (UTC)

References

• no dead links
• References 14 & 23 need to have Associated Press added as the agency

Good read and nicely written. On hold until the points have been actioned. MWright96 (talk) 19:41, 25 September 2016 (UTC)

@MWright96: Thanks for the review. I have responded above. - Yellow Dingo (talk) 03:35, 27 September 2016 (UTC)

@MWright96: I've implemented your final suggestion. Thanks again, - Yellow Dingo (talk) 06:23, 27 September 2016 (UTC)

Can now promote to GA. Note: I've changed the time zone to British Summer Time since it is commonly known by this name in the UK. MWright96 (talk) 06:28, 27 September 2016 (UTC)r
