Lead

• I'd suggest expanding (e.g., adding info about snatch/clean and jerk), but perhaps fruitless given how short the article is.

Background

• General details for this specific Olympics needed, along the lines of what you added to Greece at the 2014 Winter Paralympics.
  • Added. Courcelles (talk) 04:29, 6 August 2018 (UTC)
• Suggest adding brief details on past performance, e.g., number of athletes sent to each Olympics and any medals won.
  • Added, though they never have won a medal yet. Courcelles (talk) 04:33, 6 August 2018 (UTC)
• If you can find them, contemporary newspaper accounts (surely this was covered in the Solomon Islands) would be interesting.
  • The primary newspaper in the Solomon Islands doesn't seem to have digitized anything from this era... (And the secondary one didn't exist yet) Courcelles (talk) 04:29, 6 August 2018 (UTC)

Weightlifting

• Since this article is vying for the shortest good article, maybe some added info on Ata, e.g., what he did other than weightlifting (I'm assuming he had a day job?).
  • Likely? I honestly don't know, I've found some sources that say he stayed involved in sports and added those. Whatever else he ever did, it didn't make the internet. Courcelles (talk) 04:29, 6 August 2018 (UTC)
• How is the event scored?
  • Added. Courcelles (talk) 04:29, 6 August 2018 (UTC)
• 29th place out of how many?
  • Added. Courcelles (talk) 04:29, 6 August 2018 (UTC)
• Who won silver/bronze?
  • Added. Courcelles (talk) 04:36, 6 August 2018 (UTC)

Another one for you, Courcelles. The only other thing I would suggest is looking for a photograph of Ata. There may be one around, since he seems to have stayed relevant. --Usernameunique (talk) 02:28, 6 August 2018 (UTC)

Thanks Courcelles, just passed it. Will have a look at the others soon. --Usernameunique (talk) 05:25, 6 August 2018 (UTC)
