Lead/Userbox
[edit]- Haviland Bay, Ontario should be wikilinked to the area Haviland Bay is in Ontario. I searched google and found no results of Haviland Bay so a wiki article isn't warranted. Or you could just link Ontario and leave Haviland Bay black.
- I believe that red links are permitted in WP:GAC
- @TheQ Editor: Yes you are aloud to link to titles that could have an article. However Haviland Bay is not-notable so red links aren't aloud. NickGibson3900 Talk 06:38, 1 September 2014 (UTC)

Personal life
[edit]- Should just say Marcoux at the start in line with the para-alpine career section (or vice-versa)
Done
- Haviland Bay, Ontario should be wikilinked to the area Haviland Bay is in Ontario. I searched google and found no results of Haviland Bay so a wiki article isn't warranted. Or you could just link Ontario and leave Haviland Bay black.
- same as above. It is not necessary.
- "Ever since then, his bother B.J. has been his sighted guide using radio communication; something they had never used before." - incorrect Femy has also been his guide.
Done rephrased to avoid confusion.
- In the last sentence the refs at the end should be: before.[5][6] not before. [5] [6]
Done
Para-Alpine career
[edit]- Marcoux is classified as B3 (visually impaired) athlete - needs to be "...classified as a B3..."
- He won a bronze medal in the Downhill and another in Super-G, and gold in the Giant Slalom by over two seconds. - I think it should be "He won bronze in both the Downhill and the Super-G, as well as a gold in the Giant Slalom by over two seconds." - this is to make it flow better
Images
[edit]- I have replaced File:Home_of_Marcoux_Brothers_2.JPG with File:Home of Marcoux Brothers 3.JPG - however, the caption doesn't make sense Sault Ste. Marie???
Done I gave wikilinked to Sault Ste. Marie. apparently there's one in Pennsylvania and one in Ontario. Is it better now? ΤheQ Editor Talk? 18:25, 31 August 2014 (UTC)

[edit]- Please add link to commons category Marc Marcoux
