Reviewing later. Nova Crystallis (Talk) 01:05, 8 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The first three sentences in the lead start with the words "The Marshall Islands". Change it so it doesn't get repetitive.
- Done --Cameron₁₁₅₉₈ ^(Talk) 21:59, 29 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
"The highest number of Marshallese athletes participating in a summer Games is five, in the 2008 games in Beijing." Remove comma.
- Done --Cameron₁₁₅₉₈ ^(Talk) 21:59, 29 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
"During the era of the modern Olympic Games the country was controlled by Japan, Germany, and the United States at different times until it gained its sovereignty in 1979 when the government of the Marshall Islands was officially established and the country became self-governing." Split this sentence.

There should be some material on the NOC, and when it was created and recognized.
- Done --Cameron₁₁₅₉₈ ^(Talk) 21:55, 29 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Most see also sections are above the references.

Picture would be nice, maybe some of the venues the athletes participated in?
- Sorry to butt in, but maybe include File:Marshall_Islands_National_Olympic_Committee_logo.svg (not sure of copyright claim on it), and maybe include some NOC information in the article. Kees08 (Talk) 08:46, 11 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  - The logo might be PD because the various components of it are, but the current copyright tag on it is grade-A bullshit. Courcelles (talk) 15:51, 11 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    - I agree the current tag on that particular image is suspect at best. --Cameron₁₁₅₉₈ ^(Talk) 13:39, 12 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Done included [[File:国家游泳中心夜景.jpg|thumb|256x256px|The swimming events for the 2008 Summer Olympics were held at the [[Beijing National Aquatics Center]].]] --Cameron₁₁₅₉₈ ^(Talk) 13:36, 12 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You can get to it whenever you want, since you told me you have finals soon. Nova Chrysalia (Talk) 12:01, 9 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

GA concerns

I am concerned that this article no longer meets the good article criteria because it does not include information about the 2020 or 2024 Summer Olympics. Is anyone willing to address this concern, or should this go to WP:GAR? Z1720 (talk) 00:30, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This article does not include information about the Marshall Island's participation at the 2020 or 2024 Olympics. An orange "update needed" banner has been present at the top of the article since August 2024. Z1720 (talk) 22:49, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am interested in saving this GA. Cos ^{(X + Z)} 17:24, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Z1720 I have updated the article. Do you have any other suggestions? Cos ^{(X + Z)} 23:08, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

When I compare the 2008 section to the other years, I feel like the other years are under developed and information on the athletes' results in the games can be included. I also think the lead needs to be expanded. I also think other information, like the flag bearer at each Olympics for the ceremonies, can also be added to this article to make it more complete. The lead can also be expanded Z1720 (talk) 23:11, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
AirshipJungleman29 merged some info from the 2008 article into here on January 31, 2024 so that is why the 2008 section is bloated. Cos ^{(X + Z)} 00:10, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@CosXZ: I actually think that the 2008 section is the correct length, while the other sections are underdeveloped. Z1720 (talk) 16:53, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If that’s the case, I’ll expand the other sections. Cos ^{(X + Z)} 18:28, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Expanded the sections. Will do the lead in a few hours. Cos ^{(X + Z)} 03:20, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Z1720 I did an expansion to the lead. I'm just wondering if I expanded it enough. Cos ^{(X + Z)} 22:12, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep the article seems to meet the criteria now. Z1720 (talk) 03:51, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
