The final decision is up to the reviewer, but I do not believe that the article has been substantially changed since the last two reviews on March 11 and March 20. A careful rewrite is necessary to make the prose clear and to remove POV. For example, "The nation's participation in the international netball community has raised the islands' visibility globally." is still there. The sentence "Netball was not recognised as an Olympic sport until 1995.[19][20]" fails because netball was not an Olympic sport after 1995 either. Note 2 says "Most of the men and boys who play in these gender subverting netball games are straight, though a few of the men are laelae." which needs a source and probably quotation back to the source of "gender subverting" if that term was used in the source. The sentence, "Girls competing at netball compete with the hope of one day making the national squad or even the Silver Ferns.[14]" has sourcing issues because fn 14 does not mention the Silver Ferns. Also, in New Zealand grammar as well as the rest of the world, the word "in" is a preposition and all prepositions require objects. Thanks, Racepacket (talk) 13:28, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
