Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/2012 Summer Olympics medal table/archive1

• Image alt texts don't need to open with "Photo of..."

• Fixed: Removed instances of "Photo of..."

• "At least 86 nations..." → "86 nations..." (since we know the exact number)

• "Fixed: Removed "At least..."

• "In prior Olympics, however, Montenegrin athletes have won medals as nationals of Serbia and Montenegro and of Yugoslavia." – source needed

• Fixed: Added citation using article from official 2020 Summer Olympics website stating The Balkan nation had previously competed under Yugoslavia, the Independent Olympians and Serbia Montenegro from 1920 to 2004. Also added footnote about Montenegrin athletes competing under the Independent Olympians name.

• "...independent NOC, however..." → "...independent NOC; however..."

• "Fixed: Changed comma to semicolon.

• "Serbian athletes have previously won gold medals as nationals of Serbia and Montenegro and of Yugoslavia." – source needed (source 10 doesn't state this)

• Fixed: Added article backing up fact. It is located at the bottom of the article under 7PM. It reads: "The former Yugoslavia won three gold medals..." Dropped the "Serbia and Montenegro" part since this fact is only referring to Serbia in the context of wining gold medals, and Serbia and Montenegro won zero gold medals in 2004 (the only time the nation competed under that name).

• I would include the comments about Maryam Yusuf Jamal in footnote b instead of breaking up the list of nations with parentheses.

• Fixed: Moved Jamal comment into the footnote.

• NOC needs to be spelled out in the lead or replaced with a different word (i.e. nation).

• "Fixed: Changed NOC to nation in the lead.

• When used in table headers, use Template:Abbr to state that NOC means National Olympic Committee.

• "Fixed: Used template to denote acrony.

• What is your source for the medal table? You say it's based on information from the IOC, but you don't link that information.

• Fixed: Added source from Olympedia which is a spinoff of Sports Reference. Previously the authors of Olympedia published Olympics stats on Sports Reference, but they spun off their own website in May 2020. This website explains it all here.

• Don't use smaller text for the tables in "Changes in medal standings" for accessibility reasons.

• "Fixed: Removed font style template to restore text to regular size.

• Period needed before sources 35, 61, and 63

• "Fixed: Added periods before the sources.

• The table "List of possible changes in medal standings" feels like a violation of
  WP:CRYSTAL
  , since there is little sourcing and it is unclear if/how the medals will be reallocated in those events.

• Fixed: Removed table accordingly.

• I'd suggest archiving sources where possible using
  IABot
  .

• Fixed: Ran the IABot and it archived sources wherever possible.

• Pedantically, the silver-coloured countries on the map are not countries that won at least one silver medal. They are countries that won at least one silver medal and no golds.

• Fixed: Changed sentence to indicate that silver-coloured nations won at least one silver without any gold medals.

• Need a comma after United Kingdom in the first para

• "Fixed: Added a comma after "United Kingdom".

• A sentence shouldn't start with a number written as digits, so is it possible to reword the first sentence of para 2?

• Fixed: Added the word "overall" to the beginning of the sentence.

• "Previously, Montenegrin athletes have competed" => "Previously, Montenegrin athletes had competed"

• "Fixed: Changed "have" to "had."

• Same for Serbia

• "Fixed: Changed "have" to "had."

• Considering that the "List of official changes by country" table takes up well over 50% of the article, it should absolutely be covered in the lead

• "Fixed: Added two sentences regarding doping and the medal changes resulting from it.

• All these image captions need sources for content not covered anywhere else in the article: China table tennis (that they defended the title), Pendleton (that it was the first ever Keirin event), Dutch hockey team (that they retained their title), US soccer (that it was their third straight title)

• Fixed: Added sources from ESPN regarding factoids not covered in the body of the article.

• "Kolodko would be later stripped her silver for doping" => "Kolodko would be later stripped of her silver for doping"

• Fixed: Added "of" in between "stripped" and "her".

• "confirmed that Russian discus thrower Darya Pishchalnikova had been banned for 10 years, and they stripped of her silver medal" => "confirmed that Russian discus thrower Darya Pishchalnikova had been banned for 10 years, and stripped of her silver medal"

• Fixed: Changed sentence that now reads "On 1 May 2013, the IOC banned Russian discus thrower Darya Pishchalnikova from competition for ten years, and stripped of her silver medal in the women's discus throw after testing positive for oxandrolone (an anabolic steroid).

• That still isn't grammatically correct. If the first clause is "On 1 May 2013, the IOC banned Russian discus thrower Darya Pishchalnikova from competition for ten years," then the second should be "and stripped her of her silver medal....." -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:20, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Done: Added a "her" between "stripped" and "of."

• "imposed a one-year suspension on a 4 × 100 m relay team member Tyson Gay" => "imposed a one-year suspension on 4 × 100 m relay team member Tyson Gay"

• Fixed: Removed unneeded "a" between "on" and "4".

• Note against women's 20km walk doesn't span all the rows it should

• Fixed: Changed rowspan to 3.

• "The IOC had requested Iinternational Wrestling Federation" - need "the" after requested, also the word International is spelt incorrectly

• Fixed: Added "the" after "requested" and corrected the word "International."

• "after she tested positive of dehydrochlormethyltestosterone (turinabol)" => "after she tested positive for dehydrochlormethyltestosterone (turinabol)"

• Fixed: Changed "of" to "for"

• "Austra Skujytė was latered awarded" - later, not latered

• Fixed: Changed "latered" to "later".

• "the Russian 4 × 400 metres relay women's team was disqualified due doping of Antonina Krivoshapka" => "the Russian 4 × 400 metres relay women's team was disqualified due to doping by Antonina Krivoshapka"

• Fixed: Added "to" in between "due" and "doping".

• "On 9 November 2015, WADA Independent report" => "On 9 November 2015, a WADA independent report"

• Fixed: Added a missing "a" between "2015" and "WADA."

• "Thus, Ekaterina Poistogova retained her Olympic 2012 medal at women's 800 metres athletic event" => "Thus, Ekaterina Poistogova retained her Olympic 2012 medal in the women's 800 metres athletic event"

• Fixed: chaned "at" to read "in the."

• "Gamze Bulut was banned for doping and lost its Olympic silver medal" - seems a bit harsh to call her "it" :-)

• Fixed: Changed "it" to "she".

• "on 17 August 2015, the Court of Arbitration for Sport Turkish athlete Aslı Çakır Alptekin lost the Olympic title and serve an eight-year ban for blood doping" - quite a few words missing here I think......?

• Fixed: Sentence now reads: "Previously, on 17 August 2015, the Court of Arbitration for Sport stripped Turkish athlete Aslı Çakır Alptekin of her medal and imposed an eight-year ban on her for blood doping."

• "Nevertheless, the IOC decided award Tomashova and Aregawi with the silver and bronze medals" => "Nevertheless, the IOC decided to award Tomashova and Aregawi the silver and bronze medals"

• Fixed: Added the preposition "to" in between "decided" and "award."

• "Medals in these events have not been redistributed yet." - give a specific date at which this statement is true (this statement appears twice)

• Fixed: Removed the phrase because there are no credible sources to pinpoint the exact date which made the statement true without intruding into
  Wikipedia:SYNTH
  territory.

• Think that's it from me..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 16:33, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
