As a follow up to my nomination of the 2018 Winter Olympics medal table, I decided I wanted to complete a Summer Olympics medal table as well. It's based on other Summer Olympics medal tables that have also been promoted to featured list status, as well as the feedback provided at the other Summer Olympics medal table nomination. As always, I will do my best to quickly respond to and address any and all concerns that are brought up. Hey man im josh (talk) 12:35, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Arconning

[edit]
  • "With 18 total Olympic medals, Latynin", should be Latynina.
  • "for most Olympic medals," could be reworded as "for the most Olympic medals for an individual".
  • "She also became, and still is, the record holder for most gold and total Olympic medals by a female athlete.", would this need an "As of,..."?
  • The caption in the image should probably specify "at these games", as "competing athlete" could probably sound like an active athlete.
  • Could add a footnote explaining "United Team of Germany".

Here are my comments, ping me once you're done! Arconning (talk) 16:52, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • "With 18 total Olympic medals, Latynin", should be Latynina. – D'oh... fixed.
  • "for most Olympic medals," could be reworded as "for the most Olympic medals for an individual". – Ehhh, I felt it was implied, but I've tweaked it.
  • "She also became, and still is, the record holder for most gold and total Olympic medals by a female athlete.", would this need an "As of,..."? – Do we? I would think that's only really necessary if there's frequent changes in the rankings. I don't love the idea of this having to be updated every year, as opposed to being updated as necessary.
  • The caption in the image should probably specify "at these games", as "competing athlete" could probably sound like an active athlete. – I personally don't read it this way. I think it's clear enough based on the context of "... at the 1964 Summer Olympics, the most of any competing athlete"
  • Could add a footnote explaining "United Team of Germany". – Done.
I hope I've addressed all of your concerns. Thank you so much for the review @Arconning! Hey man im josh (talk) 19:14, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The only thing I can suggest is changing "over Taiwan's (Republic of China) participation" to "over the participation of Taiwan (Republic of China)", which just seems to read a bit more elegantly to me....... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:52, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Chris, an IP actually added the names in brackets, which I felt were unnecessary and also interrupted the flow. I've also implemented your wording, which is definitely more elegant. Thank you very much for taking a look and providing feedback! Hey man im josh (talk) 12:55, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]
Source review - pass
  • The sources all look reliable for the purposes they are used and the references are filled out with the necessary details. Spotchecks not done but I could upon request.
Image review - pass
  • The source link for the file works, and since it ought to have been taken in 1964 (over 60 years ago), the copyright information at the file page applies and makes sense.
Overall, support on those and the prose as well. No issues there.--NØ 19:14, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

* "relating to the history of the Green Bay Packers, an American football in the National Football League (NFL)". Is this meant to say an American football team

  • There is a stray curly bracket in the table "17}"

@EN-Jungwon: I think this was meant as a reply to another nomination? Hey man im josh (talk) 11:12, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Hey man im josh, now that's embarrassing. Yep this was meant for Packers Heritage Trail. I had both nomination pages open and didn't look at the title before adding my comments. I have stricken my comments. Now I'll definitely come back and review this list too. Again sorry for the confusion. -- EN-Jungwon 11:18, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@EN-Jungwon: No worries at all! I happened to have reviewed the exact same list and knew exactly what you were talking about, gave me a good laugh :P Hey man im josh (talk) 12:00, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ref 26 the title has changed
Reference formatting is consistent. Link checker shows no issues. -- EN-Jungwon 00:24, 10 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hey @EN-Jungwon: Sorry for the delay in responding. I've updated the title of the article, and updated the date of the archive. Hey man im josh (talk) 17:40, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
