Hi Courcelles! I am going to review this article as well. I will complete a quick c/e of the article first. Feel free to revert any of the changes, as I will only make what I feel are non-controversial improvements. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 18:06, 29 August 2018 (UTC)

• Thanks, I'll look at this and the other review tonight, I promise! Courcelles (talk) 18:08, 29 August 2018 (UTC)

Copyedit

• Here is my copyedit. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 18:11, 29 August 2018 (UTC)

Prose & MOS

• Per MOS:DUPLINK, I would remove at least the last instance of all the athlete's names. Since the article is so short, I would probably just link in the lead and the table.
• Recommend using the {{Abbr}} template in the first table for "n/a"
• Be consistent with capitalization of n/a (or N/A)
• Was there a flag bearer?
• "Nester Geniwala'a was 19 years of age at the time, and making her only Olympic appearance" - this sentence has a weird structure. Later you say "Tony Analau was 27 years old at the time of the Atlanta Olympics, and was making his Olympic debut" - I prefer that version, stating that they made their debut, because conceivably they could qualify for another Olympics (even though this is unlikely based on their age).
• Explain the strike through in the 80 in the second table using a key. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 18:18, 29 August 2018 (UTC)

Images

• No images used, except country flag, which is PD. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 18:06, 29 August 2018 (UTC)

References

• Are there any other references you can include? The article relies almost completely on one source (Sports Reference).
• You archived all of the citations, even though all the pages are live? Is there a reason why?
• All other references, formatting, and inline locations look good. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 18:18, 29 August 2018 (UTC)

Overall

• Overall, looks good. Just some minor items noted above. Placing on hold. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 18:18, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
  • Everything taken care of, added some footnotes to the IOC and to the official report, rephrased as requested, and the archival is "just in case" mostly. Gonzo fan2007. Thanks! Courcelles (talk) 16:40, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
    • Looks good. I made a small edit. Hope you don't mind. Passed. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 16:45, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
