Tanzania at the 2016 Summer Olympics[edit]

Improved to Good Article status by Canadian Paul (talk). Self-nominated at 03:01, 14 December 2016 (UTC).

  • @Canadian Paul: Article is long enough, uses in-line citations, is neutrally written and was nominated within seven days of becoming a good article. Spot-checking does not find issues with plagiarism, copyvio, or unduly close paraphrasing. QPQ is complete. I have corrected the source for the hook here in the nomination. I also moved the correct source immediately after the statement in the article itself.
The hook itself, while under 200 characters, I feel is a bit long. Could you shorten it, perhaps drop the fact he didn't advance to the semis? Regards -- Ianblair23 (talk)
Could we just cut out "to the next round"?:
There's a lot of national record-setting at the Olympics, but I think that the average person would find it more interesting that someone won their heat, set a national record, and yet still didn't advance, so I think that adds to the hookiness. Canadian Paul 15:49, 22 December 2016 (UTC)
OK good to go. -- Ianblair23 (talk) 23:01, 23 December 2016 (UTC)
