I am nominating this for featured list because the games are now completed so it should remain stable. Modelled on 2008 Summer Olympics medal table and other similar articles - Basement12 (T.C) 10:38, 15 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support. I found no problems in this list. Ruslik_Zero 19:35, 16 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Do you have a reference for the "officially known as" statement?
  • "most total medals" reads a little strangely to me, maybe "most medals in total"
  • "who won two gold medals in biathlon " no real need to repeat "gold medals" as the whole sentence is introduced as being about gold medals.
  • "para-athlete" would "Paralympian" be more appropriate or am I missing the point?
  • The see also really should say it's pointing to the "all-time" medal table, not the redirect.
  • While not essential, I'm a little surprised to see references with non-North American-formatted dates...

All done. Its an international sporting event so doesn't have a true affiliation to one country and i'm from the UK hence the dates are formatted in this way. The see also link should be to a page explaining ranking systems, as there is no Paralympic page i've used the Olympic equivalent - Basement12 (T.C) 11:56, 20 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

*Comment: why does the table list NPCs that did not win any medal? Parutakupiu (talk) 20:47, 23 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
It didn't when it was nominated. I've undone the edit that changed this Basement12 (T.C) 10:12, 24 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Any records regarding medalist nations? Did any NPC win its first Paralympic medal or gold? Parutakupiu (talk) 12:59, 24 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Not that I know of; I couldn't find any sources saying so and having searched back through old medal tables I couldn't see any - Basement12 (T.C) 20:19, 24 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

*Comment One issue, that should be trivial to resolve. Do you have a citation for the Russian Federation winning the most medals in Torino, since you mention Vancouver was their second consecutive? Bradjamesbrown (talk) 08:29, 26 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Reference added - Basement12 (T.C) 08:51, 26 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comments –

  • "Athletes from 21 countries won at least one medal, 15 of them got at least one gold medal." Two little picky things here. First, I think the comma should be a semi-colon the way this is now. Second, "got" doesn't strike me as the most formal language. If you change this to "winning" or similar, it would take care of both problems in one shot.
  • The external link should be removed from reference 1's publisher, leaving just the publisher's name. Giants2008 (27 and counting) 21:12, 26 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Both points dealt with as you suggested - Basement12 (T.C) 15:28, 27 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support – Meets FL standards. Giants2008 (27 and counting) 22:05, 28 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - Great job.
