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

General

• I know this has been waiting a long time, but this isn't a suitable GA at the present moment. Here's a series of things that caused me to not want the article to go on hold, and fail right out.

Minor:

1. WP:BOLDAVOID in lede
2. retail stores were newly opened - opened for the event, newly is present tense.
3. What's a "chinese sturgeon"?
4. .[31][32][33][34] - WP:CITEKILL.
5. Why are quotes in italics?
6. It was reported that 109 nations - by whom? There's clearly 110 from the full list below, which was overkill too.

Major:

1. Most of the info in the lede should be in the body.
2. Random external links (suitable for WP:LINKROT) in the results section
3. No commentary on the medals/results
4. Very short sections such as bidding, marketing and venues need expansion
5. The WP:WEIGHT seems massively off. Why are we drawing attention to one venue over others, or one record being beaten?
6. The list of venues seems a bit long, needs signifcant commentary as to what's going on/where it's sourced to.
7. Article is need of a copyedit, as some things make zero sense when read.

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)} Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 14:31, 3 October 2020 (UTC)
  • I'm sorry for failing this one so quickly, but there just isn't enough here (or even close to) for me to believe this will meet the WP:BROAD criteria. I've left some comments above, but this would need a lot more for it to have a successful nomination in the future. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 14:45, 3 October 2020 (UTC)
