  • Referencing: What is referencing all the tables, the times and scores and ranks?
  • Need a source for the closing flagbearer.
  • "In addition, Kuwaiti athletes competed under the Olympic flag and the "Independent Olympic Athletes" title as a result of the suspension of the Kuwait Olympic Committee, their national Olympic Committee." Not mentioned in body, source it
  • Could use prose summaries of the competition of each sport, a short paragraph on each of the four would do. Courcelles (talk) 19:29, 15 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Metro man 27; Any plans to take this up? Courcelles (talk) 01:28, 19 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sure i will be glad to take this up. I might not be able to do right away but by tomorrow afternoon definitely. Metro man 27 (talk)
  • Good, good. Take your time. Holds are usually for seven days, but given new prose needs writing, we’re in no hurry. Courcelles (talk) 14:09, 19 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Unless work begins soon, this nomination will fail. Courcelles (talk) 16:29, 23 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Failed due to lack of progress. Please work on adding prose to the sports section and then renominate. Courcelles (talk) 20:51, 25 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hey sorry as i am in school i haven't had much time, once i have more time i will work on it again. Metro man 27 (talk)

"...Ibrahim Al-Hussein, a Syrian refugee residing in Athens, Greece..." Athens can be wikilinked.


"Raheleh Asemani, an Iranian taekwondo athlete training in Belgium..." Taekwondo can be wikilinked as judoka has been.


In a similar vein, all of the nations mentioned in the Team selection section (Austria, Hungary, Brazil) can be wikilinked.

Done. Courcelles (talk) 20:07, 30 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]


"The team was led by Loroupe." The use of "led" here kind of leads me to believe Loroupe competed, I assue he was just a team manager of sorts though.

  • Clarified, using the exact term the NYT used.


All of the athlete backstories are touched on, besides from the looks of it Kinde and Anis. Any further info on them?

  • They're touched on un the individual sports sections? Courcelles (talk) 20:07, 30 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]


"...finished 14th adn last in her heat..." Typo here

Done. Courcelles (talk) 20:07, 30 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
