Nominator(s): Thine Antique Pen (talk) 20:33, 25 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list because I've recently been working on it and have based its layout on a number of other featured medal tables. I believe it may now meet the criteria for inclusion and will be willing to fix any issues. Thine Antique Pen (talk) 20:33, 25 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

*Bleacher Report is usually not considered a reliable source based on previous discussions such as this one. Here is an article from The New York Times about Armin Zöggeler that makes reference to his record.
  • Replace Olympic.org with International Olympic Committee in the publishers field since that is the official organization's website and leave the work field blank.
  • Any items in the work field that are not titles of periodicals or related stuff should be removed from the work field and inserted in the publishers field. An example would be Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics (Sochi Organising Committee).

Support: I can confidently confirm my support for this list now that a few more people have proofread the list.

30em.
  • Ref 4 has "Olympic.ca. Canadian Olympic Committee." the former in italics, the latter not, while ref 5 has "Olympic.org." not in italics. I would be consistent.
  • Ref 7 needs an en-dash, not a hyphen, but then ref 14 seems to have a spaced em-dash, so either way, some consistency required here.

That's about it! The Rambling Man (talk) 09:07, 30 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@The Rambling Man: All done apart from "an historic tie"; I took a look at this and was unsure. I've cut "Olympic.ca" and "Olympic.org" out, in line with suggestions above by another user. Thine Antique Pen (talk) 09:42, 30 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Fine by me, I blame my teachers of decades ago... The Rambling Man (talk) 10:36, 30 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
It looks fine now, but are there deleted entries in the history of the article after Aug 31? Nergaal (talk) 18:15, 11 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
No, why? The Rambling Man (talk) 18:51, 11 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Nvm, I am pretty sure I remember seeing "11" being spelled out in the table, but maybe there was some sort of glitch. Nergaal (talk) 22:05, 11 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

*"with a historic tie in alpine skiing." is a bit vague. The historic part was that it was the first time a gold was tied or any medal, or that the fight for the medal was a historic one?
  • Clarified.
  • "medals over six consecutive games" was this at the same event? what discipline?
  • Clarified.
  • "If nations are still tied, equal ranking is given and they are listed alphabetically." does not apply here
  • Removed.
  • why you chose the first podium iamge specifically? why not some of the more notable cases mentioned in the text?
  • I deemed podium images containing medals quite fitting to go alongside the table of medals. This is a similar format to the 2010 Winter Olympics medal table list.
The secnd is fine, but the first image seems completely random considering there are more notable options like File:Women's downhill, 2014 Winter Olympics, podium.jpg. Nergaal (talk) 22:25, 22 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • The lead mentions 15 sports, however the main article lists 15 disciplines in 7 sports. Would suggest matching the language used in the main article, i.e. "A total of 2,873 athletes from 88 nations participated in 98 events in 7 sports across 15 disciplines." Or "A total of 2,873 athletes from 88 nations participated in 98 events in 15 winter sport disciplines." The second option is what is used in the 2010 Medal Table and in the 2014 list of medalists.
  • I changed the Men's super-G from a "second" place tie, to the correct "third" place tie for bronze.

Closing this nomination as passed. Remember to review other people's nominations, so that future nominations will run faster! --PresN 21:18, 28 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
