Lead

• having qualified by receiving accreditation — This basically says "he qualified by qualifying". How did he actually qualify?
  • Rewritten MWright96 (talk) 05:40, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
    • This now reads "having qualified by participating at the 2008 British Open Athletics Championships." Was participation, alone, in these championships sufficient to qualify? Or did he need to do sufficiently well in these championships to qualify for the Paralympics? --Usernameunique (talk) 01:13, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
      • Just by participating MWright96 (talk) 05:18, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
        • That doesn't make much sense, and it doesn't seem to be what the source says: "Recently he took part in a competition abroad, at the British Open Championships for competitors falling under his own disablement category, where he received accreditation to take part in these forthcoming Paralymics." I've adjusted the wording in the article accordingly. --Usernameunique (talk) 05:44, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
• 11th overall in the competition during the heat stages. — I would also note the specific reason for not qualifying (finished 5th in heat; only top 4 advanced)
  • Added MWright96 (talk) 05:40, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
    • Added mention of where in his heat Flores finished MWright96 (talk) 06:34, 7 April 2021 (UTC)

Background

• Malta debuted in the Paralympic movement — Is "movement" really correct here? "Paralympic Games"?
  • Changed MWright96 (talk) 05:40, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
• Worth mentioning that the 1960 Summer Paralympics were the first official Paralympic Games?
  • Added MWright96 (talk) 05:40, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
• Excepting the period between 1988 and 2004 — Based on the infobox, looks like they didn't participate in 1976 either.

  • Added MWright96 (talk) 05:40, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
• is currently — What about in 2008?
  • Clarified MWright96 (talk) 05:40, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

  • Two MWright96 (talk) 05:40, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
