  1. Well-written:
  2. Criteria Notes Result
    (a) (prose)
    • The Palestinian delegation at the 1996 games... Capitalize games.
      • checkY Done.
    • Sprinter Majed Abu Maraheel competed in the men's 10,000 metres event. The 10,000 metres isn't a sprinting event, suggest changing to Long-distance runner.
      • checkY Done.
    • Majed also bore the Palestinian flag..., bore is a bit informal, no other articles use it when mentioning flag bearers. Suggest rewriting to Majed was also the flag bearer.... It is already written that he's representing Palestine so a mention of the Palestinian flag would be unnecessary.
      • checkY Done.
    • represented Palestine at their Olympics debut. Change to Olympic debut.
      • checkY Done.
    • Majed was drawn in the first heat..., drawn in is a bit too informal, change.
      • checkY Done.
    • Therefore, he did not... I suggest omitting Therefore.

    Pass Pass
    (b) (MoS)
    • Athletes from the Palestinian territories, represented by the Palestine Olympic Committee and competing as Palestine, participated in the Olympic Games for the first time at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, United States. I suggest bolding Palestine and at the 1996 Summer Olympics.

    • men's 10,000 metres event Hyperlink to Athletics at the 1996 Summer Olympics – Men's 10,000 metres
      • checkY Done.
    • Majed also bore the Palestinian flag during the parade of nations of the opening ceremony. Hyperlink opening ceremony to 1996 Summer Olympics opening ceremony.
      • checkY Done.
    • ==Background==2 Probably an error when encoding source code. Omit 2.
      • checkY Done.
    Pass Pass
  3. Verifiable with no original research:
  4. Criteria Notes Result

    (b) (focused) Athletes from the Palestinian territories, represented by the Palestine Olympic Committee and competing as Palestine, participated in the Olympic Games for the first time... Would like to learn why this instead of Palestine, represented by the Palestine Olympic Committee, participated in the Olympic Games for the first time...
    Ah, I must have confused Palestinian territories and State of Palestine.  Done

Result Notes
Fail Fail Article is a bit too short, most of the sources are databases. But everything looks nice so it would be nice to get this nomination nominated again!

@EN-Jungwon I wish that this article could be improved in the following seven days. Everything looks nice but it could use a bit more! Wishing the editors to do their best. Arconning (talk) 2:54, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
@EN-Jungwon A little bit more and I think it could be a good article! Would have to get a second opinion though to ensure everything is correct! Might be some information left out so I'm not entirely sure. Arconning (talk) 12:30, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Arconning all done. Many thanks for the review and happy new year. -- EN-Jungwon 16:38, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Arconning can you clarify what you mean by Mostly databases. Is there a specific policy that prohibits use of sources like this? Everything is sourced so I'm just confused why you would fail this nom. -- EN-Jungwon 05:34, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@EN-Jungwon Though databases are somewhat reliable, the use of them is a bit excessive. Finding more reliable sources from other news sites could help more with the article. Arconning (talk) 05:38, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Arconning you could've mentioned that before so that I can fix it instead of failing the nomination. Theres still two days left for the full 7 days to be over. -- EN-Jungwon 05:41, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@EN-Jungwon I apologize for failing it, but a lot still has to be done. You can nominate it again but please do add more information as I believe there are information missing about the participation of Palestine at the edition. Such as athletes who failed to compete but still was on track to represent the country. Arconning (talk) 05:49, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
