I recently found this old project of mine, where I started adding tables almost six years ago and gave it some polish and some prose. My current FLC has three supports and is about something totally different, so any issues there won't be issues here. Courcelles (talk) 01:05, 21 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Courcelles This is my first time reviewing a FLC, so I'll give it my best shot.

  • The period in "she won three golds, a silver. and a bronze medal" needs to be replaced with a comma
  • Your first picture description doesn't have a period at the end (compared with the others that do)
  • In the section "Cross-country skiing", some entries have the flag and contestant combined (compared with the others that have separate lines)
  • One note has a comma between the minutes and seconds while the other one doesn't

That's all I got, Jmnbqb (talk) 18:25, 21 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comments
  • "The sport of snowboarding" referring back to the previous sentence, I guess this should be "discipline", right?
  • You link snowboarding but not ice hockey, why?
  • And you don't link the peculiar curling either...!
  • " in 1932, 1988, and 1992;" during my 160+ GA reviews for The Boat Race, I was continually warned off linking years alone like this, per EASTER, so I'd suggest you rephrase something like "at the 1932, 1988, and 1992 games"
  • "that the 1924 Olympic tournament in Chamonix, France had " comma after France.
  • Any medals revoked through doping?
  • For things like 4 x 7.5 km, use the multiplication symbol (×) not x.
  • "Marcel Rohner" piped to a redirect.
  • "Dean Ward" piped to a redirect back to itself!
  • Could add some more images on the way down, e.g. Kari Traa has a free to use one, there are probably many others which would brighten the parade of tables.
  • "Vladimír Růžička" redirects back to itself.
  • Stefan Krausse could use his original spelling.
  • Check all the names in the "Short track speed skating" section for capitalisation per our own articles for these athletes, most seem to redirect, and when its their names, it's probably best to get it right...

  • @The Rambling Man: Everything fixed. Added a few more images, changed the names of the Koreans (who all seem to have moved in 2014 as part of an MOS change). Actually, no medals were revoked due to doping this time around, an admitted rarity for a modern Olympics! Courcelles (talk) 21:49, 28 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

;Comments from BeatlesLedTV
  • Don't think XVIII Olympic Winter Games should be in italics. I would bold it instead like it's main page
  • "[The Olympics] were a winter" – pretty sure it should be 'was' not 'were' (main page also uses 'was')
  • "Hermann Maier...won two gold medals in the 1998 Games." should it be "at the games"?
  • Why do some countries in some tables have abbreviations (ITA, GER, NOR, etc.) while most don't? I'd get rid of them.

That's it for me. Great job! Sorry I didn't get to this one earlier. BeatlesLedTV (talk) 23:30, 12 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
