MOS:LEADCITE — this has no real bearing on the outcome of the review, but you should preferably have this statement sourced in the body. Couldn’t the source be moved to the first sentence in the "Preliminary round" section? ("The tournament began on 16 September 2000, with all six teams competing on the first day.")

[It was] the first time the tournament was held at the Olympic Games…[despite] it being held as a demonstration sport at the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, women's water polo was not accepted as part of the 2000 Olympics until October 1997.
- Again, no real bearing on the outcome of the review, but don’t you think this important and fascinating history should be briefly mentioned in the lead, preferably cut down and summarized? For example, "it was the first time women’s water polo was held at the Olympic Games".

the table breaks the right margin on iOS mobile. This might be just a bug, so it’s likely you can’t do anything about it, but your other tables don’t do this, possibly because they have a narrower width. It does look like there’s a lot of empty space here and the table width can be shortened to fix this. Or not.
- Fixed with 800px table width.

I don’t think the nominator is very active, so I made a small series of very simple copy edits based on the above issues and passed the article. There are currently no images in the article, but I made a list of all the available relevant images on Commons that can be added here. Personally, I don’t feel comfortable adding these images, so I will leave it to others (especially the nominator) to decide if they are needed. Viriditas (talk) 02:59, 3 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
