Rhodesia at the 1928 Summer Olympics → Southern Rhodesia at the 1928 Summer Olympics — Prior to 1965, the colony was formally known as Southern Rhodesia. Following the Unilateral Declaration of Independence, the (unrecognised) Rhodesia only competed in the Paralympics as it was boycotted by the international sporting community. The Celestial City (talk) 22:00, 20 December 2010 (UTC) The Celestial City (talk) 22:00, 20 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Rhodesia at the 1960 Summer Olympics → Southern Rhodesia at the 1960 Summer Olympics
Rhodesia at the 1964 Summer Olympics → Southern Rhodesia at the 1964 Summer Olympics
Rhodesia at the 1960 Summer Paralympics → Southern Rhodesia at the 1960 Summer Paralympics
Rhodesia at the 1960 Summer Paralympics → Southern Rhodesia at the 1960 Summer Paralympics
Rhodesia at the Olympics → Southern Rhodesia at the Olympics
Oppose Per the 1928 official report (PDF copy here), the 1960 report (PDF) and the 1964 report (PDF), the nation was simply known as "Rhodesia" at the Olympic Games for these three Olympiads. — Andrwsc (talk · contribs) 22:38, 20 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. The shorter name is quite adequately precise, and more commonly used. The addition of southern was a political tactic, never universally adopted, and now falling into disuse. Andrewa (talk) 08:49, 21 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The problem with this title, though, is that it seems to imply Northern Rhodesia as well as Southern Rhodesia was represented by this delegation, which it wasn't; see Northern Rhodesia at the 1964 Summer Olympics. Prior to 1965, the name "Rhodesia" could refer to two different states. Also, it's worth nothing that Southern Rhodesia as a British colony had international recognition, whereas the independent Rhodesia was completely unrecognised.

Per MOS:TITLEABSENTBOLD unbold "Southern Rhodesia" and "1928 Summer Olympics"
"were allowed by the International Olympic Committee to" → "were allowed, by the International Olympic Committee, to"
When mentioning Malta, link to Malta at the 1928 Summer Olympics not Malta at the Olympics
"received by bye" → "received a bye"

Overall[edit]

Short but good article. Putting on hold for now. — Yellow Dingo (talk) 05:45, 17 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Yellow Dingo: Thanks for reviewing - I hadn't realised about the bolding; I'm going to go back to the other articles I've recently taken to GA and de-bold those too. Miyagawa (talk) 09:38, 17 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I should have also said - I've made those changes you suggested! :) Miyagawa (talk) 09:38, 17 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ok Miyagawa looks good. I'm happy to pass this article. Well done! — Yellow Dingo (talk) 09:42, 17 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
