Hello, I am planning on reviewing this article for GA Status, over the next couple of days. Thank you for nominating the article for GA status. I hope I will learn some new information, and that my feedback is helpful.

If nominators or editors could refrain from updating the particular section that I am updating until it is complete, I would appreciate it to remove a edit conflict. Please address concerns in the section that has been completed above (If I've raised concerns up to references, feel free to comment on things like the lede.)

I generally provide an overview of things I read through the article on a first glance. Then do a thorough sweep of the article after the feedback is addressed. After this, I will present the pass/failure. I may use strikethrough tags when concerns are met. Even if something is obvious why my concern is met, please leave a message as courtesy.

Best of luck! you can also use the {{done}} tag to state when something is addressed. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)}

Please let me know after the review is done, if you were happy with the review! Obviously this is regarding the article's quality, however, I want to be happy and civil to all, so let me know if I have done a good job, regardless of the article's outcome.

• Is there a suitable link for a "split stage"? Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 10:20, 13 August 2023 (UTC)
• , defending his title to win his third Tour de France in a row. - the second bit implies the first, so we don't need to say both. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 10:20, 13 August 2023 (UTC)
• Some terms could do with a link (is there a cycling glossary somewhere?) - things like yellow jersey. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 10:20, 13 August 2023 (UTC)
• Merckx reluctantly taking over the Tour lead - huh? He didn't want to win the race? Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 10:20, 13 August 2023 (UTC)
• French francs (f) entry fee, - what does (f) mean in this context? Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 10:20, 13 August 2023 (UTC)
• Mortensen (Bic).[9][42][43][44][45] Agostinh - WP:CITEKILL. Please either remove or do WP:BUNDLING Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 10:20, 13 August 2023 (UTC)
• The above happens a couple times. 3 is plenty. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 10:20, 13 August 2023 (UTC)
• The final standings could do with an addition to the key to state what the h, ' and " mean. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 10:20, 13 August 2023 (UTC)
• Do we need three shirt icons every time we mention the winner in these tables? Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 10:20, 13 August 2023 (UTC)
• Super Prestige Pernod just gives a table of what it is after the event. It doesn't seem to mention what it was before the event (so we can see the difference). Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 10:20, 13 August 2023 (UTC)
• Are they actually called "doping tests" and not something less on the nose. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 10:20, 13 August 2023 (UTC)

Review meta comments

• I'll begin the review as soon as I can! If you fancy returning the favour, I have a list of nominations for review at WP:GAN and WP:FAC, respectively. I'd be very grateful if you were to complete one of these if you get time. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 10:05, 13 August 2023 (UTC)

@Lee Vilenski: Thank you for the first comments! I would wait until you finish the review before I get to changes. Full disclosure: This article was not written by me, it was mainly penned by BaldBoris. I did the original GA review, but unfortunately, he apparently stopped editing while it was up for review, so I decided to pick it up now. Have worked in my comments from my review before nominating it this time around. Zwerg Nase (talk) 16:30, 15 August 2023 (UTC)

I logged in for the first time in years last week to create an article, so luckily I've caught this. I'll help get it over the line of course as it was my latest major effort. I still have all the books :) BaldBoris 23:28, 15 August 2023 (UTC)

Can I ask why the Classification leadership section was moved? I was always the one keen on having consistency between all the race articles. I'm guessing a comment in an FAC prompted this move? This needs bringing up at WT:CYC. A minor, but also the Race overview hatnote (which I like btw). BaldBoris 23:49, 15 August 2023 (UTC)

@BaldBoris: Yes, this was triggered by a FA review. I am not sure if all TdF (and Giro and Vuelta for that matter) articles have taken over this format yet. Very glad to have you back on board! :) Zwerg Nase (talk) 07:24, 16 August 2023 (UTC)

@Lee Vilenski: I only just realized that you've already put this review on hold. So the above comments are all you think needs taking care of? If that is the case, then we can get on it. Zwerg Nase (talk) 07:30, 16 August 2023 (UTC)

Yes, that was all I had Zwerg Nase. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 11:55, 22 August 2023 (UTC)

@Lee Vilenski: Sorry again for the long silence (and probably costing you potential barnstars...). I hope to get to many of the points today, if I don't, I will have to get to it next Wednesday, if you'd be willing to keep the review open for that long. Zwerg Nase (talk) 08:58, 7 September 2023 (UTC)

That's ok, I wasn't taking part in the backlog drive, and my wikicup points were woefully bad. Yeah, I can keep it open til you get a chance to look. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 22:25, 10 September 2023 (UTC)

Zwerg Nase - I'm sure you just forgot about this, but I'm a bit out of time and this has run on for some time. Can I give you a deadline of Friday to get this one done? If not I'll close. No prejudice against reopening. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 07:56, 18 October 2023 (UTC)
