Lead

• Is there a need to specifically state it is an "island" country? Not sure the relevance of this addition.
• Should Matthew Sultana be linked in the lead and infobox, similar to the results table? « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 16:32, 20 September 2019 (UTC)

Background

• "Malta debuted in the Paralympic movement at the 1960 Summer Paralympics" - maybe something like "Malta debuted in the Paralympics in the 1960 Summer games". The duplication of "Paralympics" sounds off.
• Should Matthew Sultana be linked, similar to the results table?
• "Marathon runner Derren French met the minimum qualifying standards for his event though a number of faster athletes causing an upper limit on participants forced him to withdraw" - this sentence doesn't make sense, especially the last part. Please clarify and maybe split into two sentences. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 16:32, 20 September 2019 (UTC)

Disability qualification

• No comments. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 16:32, 20 September 2019 (UTC)

Swimming

• "At the time of the London Paralympics Matthew Sultana was 15 years old and he was the only athlete to compete for Malta." - comma after "Paralympics" and remove "he"
• "This put him 21st (and last) overall and he did not qualify for the final since only the eight overall fastest swimmers made that stage of the competition." - consider an emdash to break up the sentence like: "This put him 21st (and last) overall and he did not qualify for the final—only the eight overall fastest swimmers made that stage of the competition." « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 16:32, 20 September 2019 (UTC)

References/Images

• No images except PD flags.
• References are formatted correctly and in a uniform manner. They are all archived.
• Please update |dead-url=no to |url-status=live
• References are all reliable (although Ref 2 seems borderline).
• No copyvio issues.
• Ref 3 is dead, thus you should update the url-status field in the citation. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 16:32, 20 September 2019 (UTC)

Comments

• I will review this one shortly. I made a quick copyedit with some minor changes. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 15:49, 20 September 2019 (UTC)
