• The lead seems to currently read quite awkwardly, asserting the importance of her club above an Olympic gold medal. Even in the sentence about international competition, the ordering of the results seems to be back-to-front. In the lead it is ambiguous which iteration of the team won the award from the president.
  • Y Re-ordered. Hawkeye7 (talk) 07:05, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
• In the body the onset of back pain is noted as in 2004, however I couldn't find this at the reference, only "at the age of 13". Am I missing something?
  • Y Must have been on one of the other references. Added another. Hawkeye7 (talk) 07:05, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
• Article: "She qualified as an occupational therapist at the BG Trauma Hospital in Hamburg Boberg." - reference, dated April 2012 (via Google Translate) "Yes, I'm starting on May 02 to three years of training as an occupational therapist."
  • Y Well spotted. Corrected. Next time I see her I will ask if she's finished yet. Hawkeye7 (talk) 07:05, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
• "In 2009, she made the national team." different verb please
  • Y Done. Hawkeye7 (talk) 07:05, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
• The details of the London Paralympics seem not to follow chronological order.
  • Y Re-ordered. Hawkeye7 (talk) 07:05, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
• The attendance figure is repeated for no apparent reason
  • Y Corrected. Hawkeye7 (talk) 07:05, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
• Was it really "a capacity crowd", as our article for the venue says it has a 20,000 capacity and the figure appears to be just 12,000?
  • Y No, I was there. The North Greenwich Arena's capacity was reduced by the replacement of some rows of seats with additional wheelchair seating. Hawkeye7 (talk) 07:05, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
    • I spoke to FIBA's Maureen Orchard in Bangkok last November, and she said that additional searing was incrementally made available, so the capacity for the finals, and particularly the gold medal game, was greater than for earlier games. Some sources give 17,000 as the crowd size; but all agree that there was a capacity crowd. Hawkeye7 (talk) 21:06, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
• "the first that Germany had won in women's wheelchair basketball in 28 years.[9]
  • Y Corrected. Hawkeye7 (talk) 07:05, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
• It was the first gold medal that Germany had won in women's wheelchair basketball at the Paralympics since 1984.[9]" Looks like more unnecessary duplication here
  • Y Removed duplication. Hawkeye7 (talk) 07:05, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
• What kind of award is "Team of the Year for 2012"?
  • Y According to the Wikipedia, it is selected by German sports journalists. There are awards for men, women and teams. Since 2004 there have been awards for para-athletes. Hawkeye7 (talk) 07:05, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
• "losing the European Championship to the Netherlands" losing the final?
  • Y Yes, the final. Re-worded. The point is that Germany is no longer the European champion, but they are still the Paralympic champions. Hawkeye7 (talk) 07:05, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
• What is a home town crowd in Frankfurt, for a team from a different city?
  • Y Since we are talking about the German national team, anywhere in Germany is. Hawkeye7 (talk) 07:05, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
• Achievements section should link to relevant articles as appropriate
  • Y Done. Hawkeye7 (talk) 07:05, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
• Be consistent - "silver at the" style would be ok throughout but at the moment it is a bit hit and miss
  • Y Done. Hawkeye7 (talk) 07:05, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
• Clarify award for "Team of the Year" as mentioned above
  • Y Added, but I don't think it belongs here. I'll translate the German article. It's hard to make it sound right. It is very prestigious in Germany. In Australia, an award by sports journalists would be chosen by Rupert Murdoch. Our equivalent is the Australian Sport Awards Hawkeye7 (talk) 21:06, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
• Wouldn't the achievements be better presented by tournament instead of chronologically, with golds first?
  • They are organised that way in the infobox, but I prefer chronological. Hawkeye7 (talk) 21:06, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
• Club achievements do not appear to be listed in the achievements section, although the prose mentions an "eighth national championship" for her club, so presumably she has at least one of those to her name?

• Sorry I am still waiting for a response here. C679 14:54, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
  • Y Had to look it up. I should note that the club's player bio does not list these, only international achievements. Hawkeye7 (talk) 21:06, 27 April 2014 (UTC)

• For a basketball player, I really expect to see information about the player's position. Where is it?

• • Y She plays power forward. Hawkeye7 (talk) 10:52, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
• Also link 8 appears to be broken and the winning score should list the winning team first. C679 07:27, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
  • Y Fixed broken link. Hawkeye7 (talk) 10:52, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
• Y All issues addressed. Hawkeye7 (talk) 21:06, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
• Thanks. For completeness could the 2010 league championship be added to the prose? C679 04:41, 28 April 2014 (UTC)
  • Y Done. Hawkeye7 (talk) 09:45, 28 April 2014 (UTC)
• "In the Gold Medal match in London, the team faced the Australia women's national wheelchair basketball team,[9] who had defeated them 48–46 in Sydney just a few months before,[10] in front of a capacity crowd of over 12,000 at the North Greenwich Arena.[9]" - quite wordy and gives rise to some ambiguity. Also your "I was there" argument for it being a capacity crowd is insufficient unfortunately; the source "only" describes the crowd as "impressive". C679 19:33, 28 April 2014 (UTC)
• All done, passing article. Thanks Hawkeye7! C679 21:11, 28 April 2014 (UTC)
