Lead

• Wikilink 20 km walk and marathon only on the first mention outside of bold text

•  Done Joseph2302 (talk) 10:35, 6 May 2021 (UTC)

Background

• "UK Athletics had considered using the Manchester Marathon as a trial event or holding a trial event near Dorney Lake," - try to avoid using trail event twice in a single sentence
• "It was the first dedicated marathon trial event since 1980, as the London Marathon is traditionally used as a qualification event" - repetition of "event"
• "Due to the COVID-19 pandemic," - don't think the name of the disease is needed since it is already mentioned at the end of the previous sentence
• Who is Richmond Runfest?
• "almost 1 mile (1.6 km) in length." - could do with a little rewriting since it is too close to the source verifying this information
• "the qualification times were 2:11:30 for the men's race, and 2:29:30 for the women's race." - repetition of "race"

• •  Done Including as much as I can about Richmond RunFest. They organise running events in Richmond area of London, and can't find much else about them. Joseph2302 (talk) 17:04, 7 May 2021 (UTC)

Competitors

• "whose personal best time was under 2:10:00," - set at which event?
• "Other competitors included Cameron Corbishley, Daniel King, and Dominic King; Dominic King had set a British record" - Try not to have the last word of a sentence start the next one like this
• "The race also featured Gemma Bridge, Heather Lewis and Erika Kelly," - maybe switch the names of Kelly and Lewis so its in alphaebtical order?
• Marathon and 20 km walk should be wikilinked to the relevant articles only on the first
• Wikilink the terms 10 km walk to 10 kilometres race walk, 3,000 metres to 3000 metres race walk and 5,000 metres to 5000 metres race walk

• •  Done Joseph2302 (talk) 10:00, 7 May 2021 (UTC)

Race summary

• "The 20 km walk event commenced at 06:00 UTC, and the marathon event commenced at 08:00 UTC." - repetition of "event"
• "His time was 40 seconds inside the qualifying time." - repetition of "time"
• "which contained only Connor and Aadan.[8] Aaden finished the race in third;" - Try not to have the last word of a sentence start the next one like this
• Personal best and Jess Piasecki are linked in this section and don't need to be since they are already linked in the section coming before this one
• "It was Davis' personal best time, and was inside the Olympic qualifying time by over two minutes." - same point as the second query in this section
• "by over two minutes." - more than
• "which was 30 seconds outside the qualifying time,[8] but was a personal best time.[14]" - same point as the second query in this section
• "he was at pace with the qualifying time, before his pace slowed due to the weather." - Anyway the text in bold can be worded to avoid repetition of the word "pace"

• Done all of these now. Joseph2302 (talk) 15:02, 6 May 2021 (UTC)

Results

• Per WP:DTAB, tables need a caption: add |+ your table caption to the top, or if the caption would duplicate a nearby section header, you can make it |+ your table caption instead so that it only shows up for screen reader software.

•  Done caption added, don't think it needs to be more descriptive than just saying "men's/women's finishers". Let me know if you disagree. Joseph2302 (talk) 16:04, 6 May 2021 (UTC)

• Looks acceptable MWright96 (talk) 18:26, 7 May 2021 (UTC)

References

• All those references who have authors listed in the original website should be added in
• It should be mentioned the two The Daily Telegraph sources shoulds require registration for access
  •  Done Added authors, and marked The Daily Telegraph as needing subscription (although weirdly, I can access it without registration/subscription). Joseph2302 (talk) 17:15, 7 May 2021 (UTC)

Am putting the review on hold to allow the nominator to address or query the points raised above MWright96 (talk) 19:03, 5 May 2021 (UTC)

MWright96 I believe that I've resolved all the points mentioned. Please can you have a check and let me know if anything else needs fixing? Joseph2302 (talk) 17:15, 7 May 2021 (UTC)
