for the first hook. Very good. Article is long enough after a recent expansion and is well-referenced with no copyright issues. The fact checks out and is interesting. The latter hook is not as good, as it is sourced only to a minor local newspaper; not, I think, a terrible source, but not a great one. (I know this is a point of contention, but would it not be fairer to call her the United Kingdom's first medallist? She is part of Team GB, but represents the UK.)

- I have provided a better reference (The Telegraph) for the quirky dinosaur hook. Espresso Addict (talk) 04:42, 14 August 2016 (UTC)
- @J Milburn: UK athletes compete at the Olympics representing Great Britain not the United Kingdom, see Great Britain at the Olympics. January (talk) 06:49, 14 August 2016 (UTC)
- That's simply untrue. They compete as part of a team which is (controversially) called "Team GB" or sometimes "Team GB and NI", but they're not representing the island of Great Britain, they're representing the United Kingdom (and some territories/crow dependencies). All of this is explained in the first paragraph of the article you link to, so I'm not quite sure what it is you're trying to show me. Josh Milburn (talk) 13:39, 14 August 2016 (UTC)
- The team is the Great Britain team, not the United Kingdom team. The article I linked to states that the International Olympic Committee refers to the team as Great Britain. January (talk) 16:16, 14 August 2016 (UTC)
- As I have said, that is indeed the team's name, but "x is in the team y's name" does not mean "sportspeople in team y represent x". I am not interested in discussing this any further. Josh Milburn (talk) 17:27, 14 August 2016 (UTC)
- Neither am I. Earlier you ticked only the first hook, please could you just confirm if you approve of the second hook as it stands to conclude the review? January (talk) 18:02, 14 August 2016 (UTC)
- Both hooks are fine, though I prefer the first. Editors may want to think about merging both sections in the article. Josh Milburn (talk) 22:15, 14 August 2016 (UTC)
