  • Source: Vanuatu Daily Post says she's the first female weightlifter; however, as per Olympedia, the nation has never had a male weightlifter, thus she is the first regardless of gender

  Full review needed now that QPQ has been provided.--Launchballer 20:19, 28 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
  @BeanieFan11: Long enough, new enough, QPQ done. Hook's short enough, cited, and interesting (though if I had my druthers we'd be calling the Vanuatu Daily Post out on its blatant sexism!). Forgive my ignorance, but both the article and source claim Ajay won three silver and a bronze and both say "Snatch, Clean & Jerk and total", even though these are three events. Do you mean "snatch, clean, jerk, and total" or something else? I see no further reason why this might deserve a maintenance template.--Launchballer 18:11, 12 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
On a further look, I'm confused by this as well. There are three different events in weightlifting, the 'snatch', total, and the 'clean and jerk'; clean and jerk are not separate as far as I'm aware. We have an article on Weightlifting at the 2023 Pacific Games: it lists Pritchard-Lolo as having won medals in the three events – two silver (snatch, total) and a bronze (clean & jerk). Leaning towards changing it to that per this source from the competition. Thoughts? BeanieFan11 (talk) 18:22, 12 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
Good idea.--Launchballer 11:14, 14 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
@BeanieFan11: Please address the above.--Launchballer 18:35, 23 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

  Assuming I was right a week and a half ago, this should be good to go.--Launchballer 19:02, 23 September 2024 (UTC)Reply


Ni-Van

edit

The lead-off says she is Ni-Vanuatu , but the biography relates that her father was Samoan and her mother was mixed Samoan and European. That is not Ni Van. That term describes the indigenous natives of Vanuatu. She must be Vanuatuan. A non-native inhabitant. 70.106.197.146 (talk) 20:34, 1 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
