- Nominator(s): The Rambling Man (talk) 21:02, 6 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I am nominating this for featured list because it's current, and while it may not be stable for the next two weeks, I'll keep on top of it. In the meantime, feel free to let me know if anything's missing. The Rambling Man (talk) 21:02, 6 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- The 1900 Games - change to The 1900 Games of The 1900 Games
- "100 m" - 100 metres (expand contraction on first use)
- There is an inconsistency with dates in the article some are mdy (in the table) and some are dmy (the refs)
- The fact on Phelp's picture needs a cite
- The men's 100m free, 400m free, 1500m free need cites
- The women's 100m fly, 100m back and 4x100m medley need cites
- Refs 6, 11, 14, 17 all need correct formatting
Oppose for now as quite a bit of referencing work needs to be done. Happy to reassess if issues are fixed. - Yellow Dingo (talk) 08:24, 7 August 2016 (UTC)

- All done, thanks. Phelp's fact comes from the other references in the table. The Rambling Man (talk) 15:19, 7 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Further comments from Yellow Dingo
- Ref 1 does not have any of the information you use to sight it with in the text
- Fixed. The official website has changed, different source used. The Rambling Man (talk) 09:28, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Ref 2 doesn't mention the White City Stadium or the River Seine
- Fixed, using the archived page. The Rambling Man (talk) 09:28, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- You should mention Individual Medleys in the 1st sentence of the 2nd paragraph
- Medleys in general mentioned. The Rambling Man (talk) 09:28, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- In the key "denotes" should be capitalised as it is the start of a sentence
- Don't agree, I think the diamond character is the start of the sentence. The Rambling Man (talk) 09:28, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- No need to repeat the key for the women
- I don't see why not, someone could skip straight to that section from the ToC. The Rambling Man (talk) 09:28, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- The work in ref 3 should link to NBC Olympics
- It's actually "Olympics on NBC". The Rambling Man (talk) 09:28, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Doesn't mean it shouldn't link to the article even if piped. - Yellow Dingo (talk) 09:31, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Well I've linked it without piping. The Rambling Man (talk) 09:34, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Ah yes, sorry didn't see you had already linked it. - Yellow Dingo (talk) 09:36, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

- It's actually "Olympics on NBC". The Rambling Man (talk) 09:28, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- The work in refs 4, 12, 26 should just be Olympics
- Disagree, that's a redirect to the article about the Summer Olympics. The Rambling Man (talk) 09:28, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Fair enough with the link but the work should still just read "Olympics" as that is the name of the website. - Yellow Dingo (talk) 09:31, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Well, it's actually Olympics.org, but I've rendered that into prose. The Rambling Man (talk) 09:34, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

- The work in ref 9 should link to ESPN
- Done. The Rambling Man (talk) 09:28, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Good work on the first set. Heres a few more. - Yellow Dingo (talk) 07:04, 8 August 2016 (UTC) [reply]

- Support good work. - Yellow Dingo (talk) 09:41, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment – The men's relay teams seem to be sorting by first name, not last name. The women's relay teams don't have this issue, so there might be a little formatting tweak required.I didn't find anything else worth noting. Giants2008 (Talk) 21:20, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]- Done, thanks. The Rambling Man (talk) 21:46, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

- Done, thanks. The Rambling Man (talk) 21:46, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

- You need to add rowscopes to the table so it complies with MOS:DTT
- ref 11 needs the author adding
Struggling to see any other issues. NapHit (talk) 14:59, 20 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Done these two, thanks for the eagle eyes. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:18, 20 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Happy to support now. Great work as always The Rambling Man! NapHit (talk) 19:33, 21 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Source Review
- Formatting: Some of your website titles are a little odd - I personally would have used "Rio 2016" or "Rio2016.com" or "Rio 2016 Games", not "The official website for the Rio 2016 Games", e.g. something that names the actual organization that is publishing the material, rather than a descriptor of the website. Though, you also use "London 2012 official website" - which isn't even true, ref 20 redirects to olympic.org. Can you try to standardize, and use a title that's an actual title and not a description?
- Spotchecks: checked refs 3, 14, 24, 34 - ref 34 is a 404 page, rest are fine, though as I say above the london 2012 refs are also redirecting to another site.
- Completeness: no obvious gaps
