Image review

[edit]
  • Is there a contemporary photo of Keleti. If there isn't then note that the picture is from 2021 otherwise it gives the impression that she was 101 at the time of the games.
  • The second image, Habibi, needs to be cited. Just copy over ref 25.
  • "holding the gold medal he won at these games." -> "holding the gold medal he won at the games."
  • alt text is present
  • unrelated but ref 25 is considered dead despite being active. Fix that please

History6042's comments

[edit]
  • "the Bahamas, Iceland, and Pakistan won their first Olympic medals." -> "The Bahamas, Iceland, and Pakistan won their first Olympic medals." The "the" is the first word in the sentence, it should be capitalized.
  • "winning four gold medals in two silver medals for a total of six medals." -> "winning four gold medals and two silver medals for a total of six medals."
  • The caption for the image of Adhemar da Silva should have a source, I think.
  • "two silver medals and no bronze medal were awarded" -> "two silver medals and no bronze medals were awarded" I'm not sure if this is the right way to fix it but having were after a singular noun sounds strange.
  • That's all I've got, if these are fixed than I support. History6042😊 (Contact me) 16:03, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • A see also section should be added, as these are relatively standard in these tables and there's a number of relevant articles to link to
  • The last paragraph needs an extra source added, as it doesn't verify who led in medals. Consider using this link to verify that info, that's my go to for finding who leads in any medal
