The article is based on similar Olympic and Paralympic articles that already have FL status, particularly 1968 Summer Paralympics medal table and the comments at that FLC review. - Basement12 (T.C) 11:57, 9 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved comments from The Rambling Man (talk) 16:22, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comments
  • Is there a translation for what DVS means (i.e. the German which when abbreviated becomes DVS)?
  • "This medal table ranks ..." as the last sentence in the opening para, this seems out of place, perhaps move this into the second para.

*"were awarded in 187 " the article appears to be written in predominantly BritEng, and I would therefore expect the word "medals" after "awarded" here.

    • Um, I don't think 575 athletes won medals, so "575 were awarded medals" would be wrong. Presumably, number of medals awarded across the 187 events was 575. Strange Passerby (talk • cont) 08:49, 19 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Typo in ref 2 - internationl.
  • I think this is a better ref for the javelin throw, and it should be 18.50 m, not just 18.5.
  • Sorting by total, Austria seems out of spec.
  • Ref 5 has page number missing (it's p. 1)

Done. I've removed the DVS abbrevoation all together. The German Paralympic association is the DBS so potentially DVS is a typo for this by the IPC but I can't find confirmation either way - Basement12 (T.C) 11:43, 19 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment – Only suggestion I have is that the abbreviation for National Paralympic Committee could be taken advantage of in the Medal table text, by making the relevant bit "is an entity represented by an NPC." As long as you already have the abbreviation, why not use it? Don't have any other complaints. Giants2008 (27 and counting) 22:22, 22 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Good catch, abbreviated to NPC - Basement12 (T.C) 22:46, 22 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Support I looked it over carefully and, despite my best efforts, can find nothing wrong with it. :) Bobnorwal (talk) 19:33, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comments Everything is great, just answer these two:
  • "Some athletics and swimming events did not award silver or bronze medals", can you specifically mention those events. This whole article is about the medal table, so any discrepancy in the medal categories should be answered.
That would be beyond the scope of this list -as you say this article is about the medal table, listing every event in which only one or two medals were awarded is no more relevant here than listing every event where a gold medal was won. If it were only one or two events (as at modern day Games where 3 medals are almost always awarded) then it could be done like this but at the early Paralympics events with only one or two entrants were very common - Basement12 (T.C) 18:41, 10 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • "also known as the XXI World Games for the Paralysed", then what was the official name of the Games.
As far as I can tell it was known as both the Paralympic Games and International Stoke Mandeville Games (aka World Games for the Paralysed). The Games took place every year serving jointly as the Paralympics every 4 years (see the list at IWAS World Games) - Basement12 (T.C) 18:41, 10 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
