• "Roberto Mandje and Emilia Mikue Ondo in the middle and long distance disciplines." - Middle and long should be reversed and the end of the sentence should mention "respectively".
  •  Done MWright96 (talk) 20:29, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
• "Mikue Ondo was selected as the flag bearer for the opening ceremony." - I don't think this is significant enough to be in the lead.
  • Not too sure about this. This is something that I have followed from other articles since I wrote these kind of articles. MWright96 (talk) 20:29, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
• This is me just being picky, but if multiple sentences use the same reference you can just include one citation on the last sentence. For example, the first three sentences in the "Background" section use the same reference. Also, I suggest having citations in the middle of sentences and just move them to end of the sentence. Again, me being picky. :)
  • That was me was being cautious at the time. Anyway, the issue has been resolved. MWright96 (talk) 20:29, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
• "He had not previously competed in any previous Olympic Games" - Remove one of the "previous"'s.
  •  Done MWright96 (talk) 20:29, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
• For statements like: "(two minutes and 22.88 seconds)", stay consistent and either spell out the number of use the actual number. For example, "(2 minutes and 22.88 seconds)".
  •  Done MWright96 (talk) 20:29, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
• Add a key for "DNS" (for the tables).
  •  Done MWright96 (talk) 20:29, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
• "Two runners, Peter Roko Ashak and Samwel Mwera, did not start" - So when "Mandje finished 37th out of 39 runners", is 39 including the two that didn't start? The wording is not clear.
  • Hope the wording I've put is more clearer to you. MWright96 (talk) 20:29, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
• For "Roberto Mandje"'s table, why does the Semifinal column say "N/A" but the Final column say "Did not advance". Shouldn't they both say "Did not advance"?
  • The 3,000 metres steeplechase does not have a semi final which is why an N/A is there. MWright96 (talk) 20:29, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
    • Ah ok. Thanks for clearing that up.--Dom497 (talk) 22:40, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
• Reference #2 needs an access date.
  • Are you sure? Have triple-checked and have not found that any of the references are missing their access dates. MWright96 (talk) 20:29, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
    • Whoops...I guess I'm blind.--Dom497 (talk) 22:40, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
• Is Sports Reference reliable? This page makes me skeptical.

• Yes, see RSN and multiple FAC and FLC's it has been used in. Courcelles (talk) 19:44, 20 April 2018 (UTC)

@Courcelles: Ok thanks for linking the discussion. The Sports Illustrator quote resolves this issue.--Dom497 (talk) 20:03, 20 April 2018 (UTC)

Good work. On hold for 7 days.--Dom497 (talk) 18:00, 20 April 2018 (UTC)

• @Dom497: I have made the adjustments where possible. MWright96 (talk) 20:29, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
