Chad at the 2008 Summer Olympics edit

  • ALT1: ... that at the 2008 Summer Olympics, Chad had two athletes competing, both in the 100 metres in the sport of athletics and both finished seventh in their heat?
  • Reviewed: Not needed (only 3 DYKs)

Improved to Good Article status by NickGibson3900 (talk). Self nominated at 05:03, 14 October 2014 (UTC).

  • Recently promoted to Good Article, was nominated in time, and no QPQ needed. First time seen so short GA, by the way, ALT1 needs to be rephrased, so write ALT2 and ALT3 below, which should be alternatives of ALT1. --Captain Assassin! «TCG» 18:04, 26 October 2014 (UTC)

No, you didn't get it actually. It should be more similar but alternate to ALT1, it would be more interesting if you'd mention that "only two athletes competed, both in the track and field 100 metres and finished seventh in their heat." Just rephrase my this line, but mentioning "only two athletes" would make the hook more attractive. --Captain Assassin! «TCG» 07:52, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

@Captain Assassin!: I'm not to sure what you mean and have listed a few above - NickGibson3900 Talk 08:20, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

Yes, now just needs a final bit of improvement in the ALT4, please write down after "competing" that "both finishing at seventh in their heat?" That's it. --Captain Assassin! «TCG» 10:15, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

  • There is a lot of heat in the ALTs here too :). ALT7 is good to go. --Captain Assassin! «TCG» 06:27, 28 October 2014 (UTC)
