GA Review

This review is transcluded from Talk:Kiribati at the 2008 Summer Olympics/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

Reviewer: Courcelles (talk · contribs) 15:40, 25 June 2018 (UTC)

I’ll do this one Courcelles (talk) 15:40, 25 June 2018 (UTC)

You could mention the performances in the lead, at least the best one.

• Flagbearer needs to be cited and mentioned in prose in the background, not just the infobox. Closing flagbearer too, if you can find it.
  • I had it in the weightlifting section, is it okay there? Kees08 (Talk)
  • Also added the closing ceremony flagbearer Kees08 (Talk)
    • IMO, the two flagbearers should be presented together. Courcelles (talk) 19:48, 28 June 2018 (UTC)
      • Okay, I did not have strong feelings, so moved it. Kees08 (Talk)
• "Kiribati's first Games was in 2004.[1] Kiribati had interest in Olympic participation in the 1980s, and the country later formed their National Olympic Committee (NOC) in 2002, which was recognized by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in 2003.[2]:311" These sentences seem to flow better in reverse order to me.
  • Agreed; changed Kees08 (Talk)
• "He did not run in the 200 meter competition for undisclosed reasons." Source?
  • Can't source a negative. Kees08 (Talk)
    • Sure you can. Provide the source for him being scheduled to run, and then provide the startlist showing him not on it. Courcelles (talk) 19:44, 27 June 2018 (UTC)
      • Fair, I just figured it was OR at that point. Added Kees08 (Talk)
• !00 metre and 200 meter should be plural, I think.
  • For athletics, at least in American English (no idea on other variations), it is singular. Kees08 (Talk)
• What's sourcing the actual weights he lifted?
  • Nice catch; added Kees08 (Talk)

Otherwise looks good. Courcelles (talk) 18:00, 27 June 2018 (UTC)

• Promoted. Courcelles (talk) 01:52, 30 June 2018 (UTC)
