Don't have much time today, so I thought I'd do one that's short and sweet:

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall:
Pass/Fail:

Comments:

Under "Women", "Immediately, she scored just ahead of Bartholomew and India's Mandeep Kaur, and just behind Poland's Monika Bejnar." I got thrown off here by the use of the word "immediately". I assume that this ranking refers to Alexander placement in the overall competition (32 out of 50), but it's not clear from the way that it is currently worded because so, if this is the case, it needs a little clarification.
1. Clarified. --Starstriker7^(Talk) 16:48, 20 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Same section, "Because she did not meet the required time, Alexander did not advance to the semifinal round." What was the required time? How many people did make the cut off? Seems to be a bit of missing information here.
1. I was incorrect. To my understanding, the three fastest people in each heat and the next three fastest people progress to the next round. I, however, have yet to find a reliable source for this. For now, I am omitting it, and I will continue searching. --Starstriker7^(Talk) 16:48, 20 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  1. It is not explicitly mentioned, but it can be extrapolated from this reference. I am adding it now. Let me know what you think if it raises concerns. --Starstriker7^(Talk) 16:56, 20 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Other than that I did a brief copyedit of the article as usual and, other than that, everything looks good. To allow for these changes to be made I am placing the article on hold for a period of up to a week. I'm always open to discussion so if you think I'm wrong on something leave your thoughts here and we'll discuss. I'll be checking this page at least daily, unless something comes up, so you can be sure I'll notice any comments left here. Canadian Paul 13:47, 18 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well, this is the shortest article that I have ever passed for GA, but that is more of a feature of the number of athletes in the delegation than anything else and it seems comparable in comprehensiveness to similar articles for other countries. There are no obvious deficiencies in the GA criteria and I will therefore be passing the article. Congratulations and thank you for your hard work. Canadian Paul 19:02, 20 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
