7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

Lead

• The United States shouldn't be linked per MOS:OVERLINK
  • Forgot to note here, fixed as well.

Background

• "The Sammarinesi delegation consisted of a single alpine skier, Gian Matteo Giordani. Giordani was selected" - try not to have the last word of a sentence start the next one like this.
  • Changed the wording around here.
• Is there any source that states who was the flag bearer for the closing ceremony? If so, please add it in.
  • The only source I found was this release ([1]), which unfortunately has an error and cuts off after Iceland's flag bearer. Because I couldn't find any alternative source (and because of the way the closing ceremony's march of nations works), I wasn't able to find anything listing him at the closing ceremony.
• "He was the only athlete competing for San Marino at the 2002 games." - games need to be capitalized
  • Fixed.

Alpine skiing

• "Giordani finished in 57th place overall, leaving him in last place among competitors that successfully completed the course and placed." - missing where Gordiani was placed overall and his combined times need to be written out in prose
  • Fixed.

References

• Ref 4 should be italized since TIME is a printed publiciation
  • Fixed.

Only the minor quibbles from me stand in the way of this article being promoted to GA status. MWright96 (talk) 18:35, 22 June 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for the review, @MWright96:! I've addressed all your comments except the closing ceremony note per my response above. Let me know if you have any other edits or concerns! Nomader (talk) 23:06, 22 June 2018 (UTC)

@Nomader: It's understandable if there is no information about the flag bearers for the closing ceremony as that can be difficult to find. Regardless, this article can now become a good article. MWright96 (talk) 06:48, 23 June 2018 (UTC)
