List of Olympic medalists in cross-country skiing[edit]

I would like to get feedback on what it would take to make this article a featured list. This is one of 57 similar lists (see Category:Lists of Olympic medalists) and I would like to see them all reach FL status. As far as I can tell, the only shortfall relative to the Wikipedia:Featured list criteria is the lack of photos of any medalists. All other criteria appear to have been met, but of course, I would like any feedback to the contrary! Any opinion on whether or not it is mandatory to include athlete photos would also be appreciated. Andrwsc 07:52, 19 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Great list. But the lead needs to be expanded and include a quick summary about the disciplines (15km, 50km...) and maybe a small history. CG 10:06, 19 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Thanks for the review! One thing we are conscious about is duplicating material found on the main article for each sport at the Olympics. In this case, Cross-country skiing at the Winter Olympics is linked from the list, and that particular article is still somewhat of a stub, but that is our intent of where descriptions of events and history of the sport at the Olympics would be found. What amount of event detail do you think would be appropriate for the list article? Andrwsc 23:18, 19 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
      • I see it's a bit tricky. You could check some other sports-related FLs. I suggest you enumarate the disciplines, with a mention about the most profilic athletes or countries, with some numbers. Besides the lead issue, this list could easily pass FLC. CG 20:19, 26 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
        • Ok, thanks! I will wait another week for any more feedback and then start updating this list. Andrwsc 21:21, 26 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
