GA Review
[edit]GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria
This article is in decent shape, but it needs more work before it becomes a Good Article.
- Is it well written?
- A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
- Well done.
- B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:
- In the Recognized sports section, you don't need to add "International Federations", since (IF) is already explained in the lead. Also, in the same section, I would normally say that linking an article twice is bad, but I am not sure if, for example, "karate" and "golf" should be linked twice.

These two sports made their debuts at the 1908 and the 1920 Summer Olympics, respectively, but were permanently integrated in the Winter Olympics program as of the first edition.
