1976 Summer Olympics medal count[edit]

This is modeled after the 1928 Summer Olympics medal count which is a current FLC. The list is fully sourced. It includes which nations won their first medal and who won the most, but I decided not to get too much into individual/nation achievements because it's a list of the games medal count, not a list of medalists. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 00:09, 6 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why does Iran sort before Italy?
- Because r comes before t.

"divided in 198 events" into?
- Done
rugby points at a dab - it should be rugby union.
- Done
"and most overall medals (129)" in the lead, 125 in the table.
- Done
" in 23[7] different " put [7] at the end of the sentence.
- Done
"pommel horse and men's horizontal bar events, and a second-place tie in the women's vault " link pommel horse, horizontal bar and vault.
- Done

Thanks for the review. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 22:04, 7 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support - I don't have any comments, as I think it looks very nice and meets all the featured criteria. Tuf-Kat (talk) 07:39, 20 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support Meets all the criteria as far as I can see. Has appropriate image, well sourced, table sorts properly. Appropriate Lead. Well done. Woody (talk) 14:38, 22 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support Although I find the use of "medaled" distasteful, it's possibly just a personal thing. I'm also unsure about the use of dashes in the Lead, but that's a small thing and you're probably fine (I regularly have to re-read WP:DASH and I'm tired right now) --Dweller (talk) 22:08, 24 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Yeah, I removed that part because it wasn't specific to the 1976 games. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 15:07, 26 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
'Needs sprucing up. Examples only: "a total of ... a total of" in the same sentence, and another further down in the lead. "South Africa" not a person. "Athletes of"? "Won one"—awkward. Semicolon after "medals.". En dashes, not hyphens, for interrupters in piped refs. TONY (talk) 14:34, 26 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I have removed all of the "a total of"s except two, I have fixed everything you mentioned, and I've done a little rewording. Thanks for the review. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 15:07, 26 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
