• Featured list candidates/1982 Asian Games medal table/archive1

Nominator(s): Bill william compton^Talk 17:46, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

This is my first nomination, so please try to go easy on me I'm nominating this for featured list because I think it follows all the attributes of Featured list criteria, also it has been reviewed by some of well experienced users during its peer review. Thanks, Bill william compton^Talk 17:46, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

• Comments
  • "If nations are still tied, equal ranking is given; they are listed alphabetically by IOC country code.[12][4]" — refs should be numerical sorted

Done

• • "The total number of bronze medals is greater than the total number of gold or silver medals because two bronze medals were awarded per event in three sports: badminton, boxing and table tennis (except the team events)[13][14][15]." — ref after period

Done

• • "Three gymnasts in men's parallel bars and two each in men's floor, women's uneven bar and women's floor tied for second place, thus no bronzes were awarded in these events, also no silver was awarded for men's parallel bars; tie for third in men's vault meant that two bronze medals were awarded.[17][18]" — I would replace also with and.

Done

• • Ref 2: Needs a format parameter

I think the format is web, isn't it?

No, it is in pdf format

Done

• • Consistency on format is needed in date and accessdates.

Done

• • YRef 10: May I ask where you found the book? There is no asin and even not a isbn. I don't think the title is "Yojana Volume – 32,, Number – 12 "; I think it is simply "Voyana" and the volume and number should be split into their own parameters. "Volume" should be in volume=, and the "Number" possibly in series=

It's not a book but a monthly-magazine published by Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (India) (Indian Government). Yojana means Strategy, I didn't know how to cite a magazine (because ProveIt doesn't show any magazine option), but now I've added more specific parameters and cited under journal attribute, like this — {cite magazine |author=Kaur Vijay, Sriman R, Rijvi S.T. Husain |title=Yojana (Spotlight on youth & sports) |journal=Socio-Economic |volume=32 |issue=12 |pages=18–36 |year=1988 |location=Delhi|publisher=Publications Division, Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (India)}. I think it's okay now.

Yes, looks good

• • Overlinking in the refs.

Where is Overlinking? please mention.

like "Doha Asian Games' " or "New Delhi"--♫Greatorangepumpkin♫T 14:16, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

? I'm still lost, if you're taking about that why I referenced this link to NEW DELHI 1982 than the reason is that this is a overview of Games and this is a medal table published by OCA, both are different things. I used reference to "Doha Asian Games" four different times, because I need to provide reference for each boxing, swimming, table tennis and badminton and information is available on separate page of website (which actually is an archive of website). If you still think that I'm not properly responding to your query then please provide diffs for overlinked refs.

I did it for you.--♫Greatorangepumpkin♫T 11:47, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

Oh, I get it now! Thanks

• • "Medal distribution": the brown color in the legend doesn't look like the one in the map.--♫Greatorangepumpkin♫T 10:58, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

Done

• Support Meets criteria. Won't capping, because it doesn't work correctly.--♫Greatorangepumpkin♫T 15:21, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

Resolved comments from Giants2008 (27 and counting) 23:03, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

Comments – Gave a review at PR, and have a second batch of comments, some of which relate to that first review. "The number of the participating countries was greatest in Asian Games history." I fear that I made a mistake in my original review. I meant to say that the "the" before "participating" should be removed, not the one before "greatest". That would make the sentence "The number of participating countries was the greatest in Asian Games history." My apologies on that one. Done Medal table: "a" should be added before "three-way tie in men's pommel horse...", along with another before "tie in men's ring for first place". Done "tie for third in men's pole vault meant that two bronze medals were awarded." "a" should also be added before this. Actually, I think this would make a good sentence by itself, as the prior part is quite long. Done Bullet point would be nice for the one note. Done In reference 2, I don't think the parenthetical part is needed for the publisher. If the country itself should be made clear, you could title it India Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports, and then pipe the link. Done Is gymnasticsresults.com (refs 17 and 18) a reliable source? Yes it is, it's a most authentic website which reserves archives of gymnastics' results, for Asian Games they have data from Asian Gymnastics Union. Is the YouTube video from an official source related to the Asian Games people? If not, it's troublesome because we aren't allowed to link to potential copyright violations. Giants2008 (27 and counting) 23:42, 20 April 2011 (UTC) Done Video is neither of Indian govt nor of uploader as it is in Japanese and I don't think anyone would ever claim the ownership of this video. This uploader has great list of such videos, if you want then check here. But as taking precaution I've removed this link.

• Support – Meets FL standards. Giants2008 (27 and counting) 23:03, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

Resolved comments from The Rambling Man (talk) 20:51, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

Comments good stuff, I contributed to the PR so not much more to add here. I'd be tempted to put note A after the closing parenthesis, not at the end of the sentence, because the note is particularly pertinent to the nomenclature of the games, not the dates. Done Not keen on leading zeros in "accessdates" such as 01 April 2011. Humans don't need that leading zero to read it correctly. Done Ref 13 has an issue with the accessdate formatting. Done I thought we should use archiveurl= etc for the Wayback machine stuff? Done The Rambling Man (talk)

• Support - everything looks good. Just one minor detail, symbol is needed to accompany the color per WP:ACCESS. I've done it for you already.—Chris!_c/t 21:23, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

Thanks Chris....

• Support a good example of how to use peer review usefully and respectfully to this process, then a good example of how to address new concerns brought up. Good work, well done, I look forward to more submissions from you Bill! The Rambling Man (talk) 14:56, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

Rambling Man, thank you very much for your kind words, I've no proper words to eulogize you. You are really an inspiring fellow and with this kind of motivation I'm so determined that in coming future you'll find many such nominations by me and I hope you always help me with your guidance. — Bill william compton^Talk 12:20, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
