Runners during the 2019 men's marathon

• ... that the men's marathon at the 2019 World Athletics Championships started just before midnight? Source: "Final: SATURDAY 05 OCTOBER 2019, 23:59" (World Athletics)

• Reviewed: 1973 Londonderry City Council election

5x expanded by Harrias (talk). Self-nominated at 12:59, 21 June 2020 (UTC).

• Hi Harrias, review follows: article 5x expanded on 21 June; article is well written and cited inline throughout to reliable sources; I didn't pick up any overly close paraphrasing from a spot check on sources; hook is interesting, mentioned in the article and backed up by the sources (some of the sources in the article pre-date the run but the World Athletics source confirms it started at 23:59); image is appropriate, OK at small scale and confirmed a CCby2.0 license at the source; a QPQ has been carried out. No issues here - Dumelow (talk) 14:03, 21 June 2020 (UTC)

Cheers Dumelow; would you be able to add the appropriate check mark? Harrias ^talk 14:24, 21 June 2020 (UTC)

Doh! - Dumelow (talk) 16:02, 21 June 2020 (UTC)

Reviewer: Lee Vilenski (talk · contribs) 17:42, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

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.

Immediate Failures

• It is a long way from meeting any one of the six good article criteria -
• It contains copyright infringements -
• It has, or needs, cleanup banners that are unquestionably still valid. These include{{cleanup}}, {{POV}}, {{unreferenced}} or large numbers of {{citation needed}}, {{clarify}}, or similar tags. (See also {{QF-tags}}). -
• It is not stable due to edit warring on the page. -

Prose

Lede

• 2:10:40 - perhaps mention this is in hours, as this could be any timescale.Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 18:01, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
  • Changed on first use for clarity, but as H:MM:SS is acceptable under the MOS, I have left the rest. Harrias ^{(he/him) • talk} 20:45, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
• 30 KM, is this 30 km into the race, or 30 to go? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 18:01, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
  • Clarified as "After 30 kilometres (19 mi).."}} Harrias ^{(he/him) • talk} 20:45, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
• presumably the race also took place on 6 October 2019? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 18:01, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
  • Fair point, clarified in the infobox. Harrias ^{(he/him) • talk} 20:45, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

General

• preparing for the Ineos 1:59 Challenge.- is this covered by ref 8? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 18:04, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
  • Yes, the source doesn't mention it by name, but it says "Eliud Kipchoge, the Olympic champion, is preparing to go under two hours in Vienna". Harrias ^{(he/him) • talk} 20:47, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
• rest of preview is good, but is "preview" the right word? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 18:04, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
  • It's what was the standard for these, but I agree that it doesn't quite encapsulate it; would "Background" be an improvement, do you reckon. Harrias ^{(he/him) • talk} 20:47, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
    • Background isn't quite right either, but its better than preview. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 18:11, 10 October 2020 (UTC)
