Lead[edit]

  • Is there a need to specifically state it is an "island" country? Not sure the relevance of this addition.
  • Should Matthew Sultana be linked in the lead and infobox, similar to the results table? « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 16:32, 20 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Background[edit]

  • "Malta debuted in the Paralympic movement at the 1960 Summer Paralympics" - maybe something like "Malta debuted in the Paralympics in the 1960 Summer games". The duplication of "Paralympics" sounds off.
  • Should Matthew Sultana be linked, similar to the results table?
  • "Marathon runner Derren French met the minimum qualifying standards for his event though a number of faster athletes causing an upper limit on participants forced him to withdraw" - this sentence doesn't make sense, especially the last part. Please clarify and maybe split into two sentences. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 16:32, 20 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Disability qualification[edit]

Swimming[edit]

  • "At the time of the London Paralympics Matthew Sultana was 15 years old and he was the only athlete to compete for Malta." - comma after "Paralympics" and remove "he"
  • "This put him 21st (and last) overall and he did not qualify for the final since only the eight overall fastest swimmers made that stage of the competition." - consider an emdash to break up the sentence like: "This put him 21st (and last) overall and he did not qualify for the final—only the eight overall fastest swimmers made that stage of the competition." « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 16:32, 20 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

References/Images[edit]

  • No images except PD flags.
  • References are formatted correctly and in a uniform manner. They are all archived.
  • Please update |dead-url=no to |url-status=live
  • References are all reliable (although Ref 2 seems borderline).
  • No copyvio issues.
  • Ref 3 is dead, thus you should update the url-status field in the citation. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 16:32, 20 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
