Shall review for the GAN March 2021 Backlog Drive. MWright96 (talk) 17:11, 6 March 2021 (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:

Lead

• "In the wheelchair races, American Daniel Romanchuk (1:37:24) and Switzerland's Manuela Schär (1:44:20) won the men's and women's races," - repetition of "races"

Fixed

Course

• "The runners then enter The Bronx for miles 19-20" - miles 19 and 20

fixed

Field

• "Also racing was 2018 Boston Marathon winner Des Linden, 2019 Boston Marathon winner Worknesh Degefa, and 2019 Tokyo Marathon winner Ruti Aga." - repetition of "winner"

Reworded and reorganised

• "She faced stiffest competition from Americans Tatyana McFadden, Amanda McGrory, and Susannah Scaroni." - think this sentence could be reworded a little

Reworded

• "The wheelchair race started at 8:30 EST (UTC-5), the women's race at 9:10 EST and the men's race at 9:40 EST." - repetition of "race"

Removed words

• "The winner of the men and women's races won $100,000 each, the winners of the wheelchair races won $25,000" - repetition of "winner(s)"

Reworded

• "and a prize of $25,000 was given to the fastest man and woman from the Unites States." - typo; should be United

Fixed

• "The temperature on the day of the race was an ideal 45 °F (7 °C)." - ideal according to whom?

I placed it in quote marks as it's what's used in the citation. I don't think there should be direct attribution as the inline citation is clear, so a reader can just follow that.

• 2018 New York City Marathon and 2019 Boston Marathon are both linked twice in this section

Removed links

Race summary

• "Keitany and Jepkosgei were together," - for which position?

In the lead; fixed

• ABC News doesn't need to be italicised

Removed italics

• "but was caught within the next mile." - caught by whom?

Not done. It says in the sentence that he broke away from the lead pack, meaning it is implied that he was caught by the pack.

• "an unsponsored Ethiopian who did not start with the elite runners instead starting with the open field," - repetition of "start(ing)"

Reworded

• "He looked "bewildered" standing next to the two other podium finishers." - according to whom?

Removed sentence. Trivial

• The Bronx does not need to be linked here since it is already linked in the course section

Removed link

Non-elite race

• Is there any more information about the non-elite race to expand on instead of just having a single sentence in one paragpraph in one section?

I added a bit more. Sources rarely go into detail regarding the non-elite field. Usually it's just trivial mentions of celebrities who were running, which I don't include.

Results

• Table headers are missing from all the tables

sub-section headers removed and table headers added

• The sources for the results should be with the results, rather than underneath the references section

Added to top

• All tables should be MOS:DTABTUT compliant with the addition of "scope="col"s

Added

• The athletes names in all the tables should be sorted by surname with the {{sortname}} template

Put names in the template

References

• Reference 9 "NYC Marathon: Joyciline Jepkosgei wins in 1st marathon, Geoffrey Kamworor takes men's" should include Associated Press as the agency

Added

• The New York Post will need to be replaced with a more reliable source to cite the information it verifies per WP:RSP

Removed

Will put the review on hold to allow the nominator to address or query the points raised above MWright96 (talk) 18:15, 6 March 2021 (UTC)

@MWright96: thanks very much for the review. I've addressed all but one of the issues (under the 'race summary' section). Hope this is all okay. Kind regards, Willbb234^Talk (please {{ping}} me in replies) 23:01, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
