This one was a little out of my comfort zone, and while it's been declared as of "high" importance to the Olympics project, surprisingly little information is available about it. Everything I could reasonably gather is in the list. Let me know how you feel about it, with thanks in advance for time spent. The Rambling Man (talk) 18:52, 24 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Some random thoughts: seems slightly premature to say that two trophies have been presented at every Olympics since 2016, when there's only been the 2016 Olympics; a mention of when women's boxing was introduced into the Olympics might not go amiss in this context (to show that there was a gap between its introduction and the second trophy being awarded); any redirect or piped link possibilities for the redlinked 1972 to 1984 Olympics e.g. Boxing at the 1972 Summer Olympics#Heavyweight (+ 81 kg)?; should Gold Silver Bronze sort in that order, rather than alphabetical? Nothing immediately jumps out otherwise. BencherliteTalk 20:09, 24 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Agreed - I would say something like "In 2016, two Val Barker Trophies were presented for the first time......" -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 11:29, 25 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Done. Also, done medal sorting. As for redlinks, no problem with them at the moment. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:25, 25 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Now happy to support -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 20:17, 31 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

- I also agree about the piping, the redlinks to nonexistent stats pages is ugly and unnecessary. Not convinced the content and subject warrent Featured List status. The level of information is minimal.PRehse (talk) 20:12, 25 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Do you have any more information you can provide? Featured lists aren't prevented because there's not much information available on a topic. I'd be delighted to see you provide more "information". Also, redlinks are perfectly permissible per WP:REDLINK, just because someone hasn't written the topic on specific boxing weights at specific Olympic Games yet, it shouldn't stop us from linking to them. Also, please use an edit summary when making drastic content changes to an article, it helps the rest of us understand why you've made such edtis. Thanks!

:Hi TRM, please find my comments below:

- Supoort – Another great job TRM, keep 'em coming! Cheers – Ianblair23 (talk) 10:04, 11 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
CommentSupport –Just one from me: in the Claressa Shields photo caption, "the" should probably be placed before "trophy".Everything else looks good. Giants2008 (Talk) 02:36, 21 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]- Giants2008 done, thanks! The Rambling Man (talk) 06:00, 21 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Question - Looks good, but it seems awfully short for your average FL. Is this really all we can cover on the subject? Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 09:14, 25 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- I agree, but please see the response I gave to the right honourable gentleman at the top of the article some moments ago. The Rambling Man (talk) 09:15, 25 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Source review – All of the references are well-formatted and appear reliable. Spot-checks of refs 4, 6, 7, and 15 revealed no problems. This is a pass from my vantage point. Giants2008 (Talk) 22:11, 17 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
PresN I guess you're the only available FLCer to deal with this now, any comments need addressing or are we good to go? The Rambling Man (talk) 21:48, 29 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm good to go, lets sneak this one in this month. --PresN 01:07, 30 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
