1968 Summer Olympics medal table

Featured list candidates/1968 Summer Olympics medal table/archive1

Nominator(s): Arconning (talk) 09:32, 10 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Another Olympic list just in time for the end of the 2024 Summer Olympics. Will probably reply a bit late for personal reasons but I promise that comments will be responded accordingly. Arconning (talk) 09:32, 10 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

Infobox image caption needs a full stop
"While Cameroon, Mongolia, and Uganda won their nations' first Olympic medals." - this isn't a complete sentence
"winning six medals with four gold and two silver medals." => "winning six medals with four gold and two silver." will suffice
"won the most medals at the games, winning seven medals with two golds, four silvers, and one bronze medal." - as above, "won the most medals at the games, winning seven medals with two golds, four silvers, and one bronze." will suffice and avoid repetition
"Two bronze medals were awarded in each boxing event after a competitor lost their semifinal, as opposed to fighting in a third place tie breaker." - this doesn't seem quite right, I suggest "Two bronze medals were awarded in each boxing event to the losing semi-finalists, as opposed to them fighting in a third place tie breaker"

@ChrisTheDude I have done all of this. Let me know if you have any more. :) Arconning (talk) 09:49, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Steelkamp

"Mexico City, Mexico" is redundant, and can be shortened to just "Mexico City".
"These games were the first games to be held in Latin America." Change to "These were the first games to be held in Latin America."
"and 39 of them". Is this referring to 39 nations or 39 athletes?
"Teams from Kenya,[7] Tunisia,[8] and Venezuela won their nations' first Olympic gold medals.[9] While Cameroon,[10] Mongolia,[11][12] and Uganda won their nations' first Olympic medals." I suggest merging into once sentence: "Teams from Kenya,[7] Tunisia,[8] and Venezuela won their nations' first Olympic gold medals,[9] while Cameroon,[10] Mongolia,[11][12] and Uganda won their nations' first Olympic medals."
"...at any edition of the Olympic Games." Can be simplified to "...in the Olympic Games."
"He and the rest of his team were subsequently disqualified..." Simplify to "He and the rest of his team were disqualified..."

@Steelkamp I believe I'm done. :) Arconning (talk) 11:19, 13 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good. Support. Steelkamp (talk) 05:17, 16 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comments by Alavense

The issue with the captions hasn't been solved yet. The one in the infobox needs a full stop, while those about Francisco Rodríguez and Tömöriin Artag don't.
In the references, what does "MNOC" stand for? I think it should be "Organizing Committee of the Games of the XIX Olympiad, 1969a, p." and "Organizing Committee of the Games of the XIX Olympiad, 1969b, p.".

That's all I saw, Arconning. Kind regards, Alavense (talk) 08:09, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Alavense Done, I think. :) Arconning (talk) 10:14, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I added the missing full stop at the end of the infobox image's caption myself. Nice work. Support. Alavense (talk) 10:18, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey man im josh

Source review: Passed

Reliable enough for the information being cited
Consistent date formatting
Consistent and proper reference formatting
Appropriate wikilinks where applicable
Spot checks sources match what they are being cited for

Feedback:

I added col scopes myself to the final table
I fixed a few hyphens for consistency
Ref 15 should have been United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee instead of "Team USA", but that was the only thing left, so I just did it.

Support, source review passed. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:49, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
