  • Some of the instances in the list are not referenced yet. Also, since we have a "bridge" why not find a hook involving water? There seem to be no water events yet. Crisco 1492 (talk) 17:02, 23 September 2011 (UTC)
  • List is now fully sourced by a reference at the top of the list. Additionally, almost all of the individual entries are separately referenced. As for a hook involving water, there is no indication that this competition has anything to do with water, and I'm not going to make something up just to satisfy a need for maximum cuteness. --Orlady (talk) 17:29, 23 September 2011 (UTC)
  • Men's steeplechase and 200 m are still uncited. I generally don't hold nominations back for interest issues, so once the referencing is finished I'll give this the tick. Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:55, 23 September 2011 (UTC)
  • The entire list of records is sourced to the citation that precedes the top of the list. The footnotes in the list are additional (duplicate) sources. The user who added the records listed the source as an external link and put additional references for some of the records into the tables. I don't think even Tony1 and SandyGeorgia would insist that every item in the list needs to have two separate reference citations in order for the article to be in DYK. --Orlady (talk) 01:33, 24 September 2011 (UTC)
  • I didn't say two separate references. I was thinking that it should have standardized citations, and since we already had a reference column it would be best to reference it that way. Anyways, I've done it and the hook is good to go. Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:44, 24 September 2011 (UTC)
