  • The first three sentences in the lead start with the words "The Marshall Islands". Change it so it doesn't get repetitive.
  • "The highest number of Marshallese athletes participating in a summer Games is five, in the 2008 games in Beijing." Remove comma.
  • "During the era of the modern Olympic Games the country was controlled by Japan, Germany, and the United States at different times until it gained its sovereignty in 1979 when the government of the Marshall Islands was officially established and the country became self-governing." Split this sentence.
  • There should be some material on the NOC, and when it was created and recognized.
  • Most see also sections are above the references.
  • Picture would be nice, maybe some of the venues the athletes participated in?
    • Sorry to butt in, but maybe include File:Marshall_Islands_National_Olympic_Committee_logo.svg (not sure of copyright claim on it), and maybe include some NOC information in the article. Kees08 (Talk) 08:46, 11 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
      • The logo might be PD because the various components of it are, but the current copyright tag on it is grade-A bullshit. Courcelles (talk) 15:51, 11 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
        • I agree the current tag on that particular image is suspect at best. --Cameron11598 (Talk) 13:39, 12 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    •  Done included [[File:国家游泳中心夜景.jpg|thumb|256x256px|The swimming events for the 2008 Summer Olympics were held at the [[Beijing National Aquatics Center]].]] --Cameron11598 (Talk) 13:36, 12 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You can get to it whenever you want, since you told me you have finals soon. Nova Chrysalia (Talk) 12:01, 9 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
