Wikipedia:Peer review/List of Yugoslav Olympic medalists/archive1

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


I've listed this article for peer review because… I have started it a few years back with the intention for it to become a featured list. Since then the development of it has stalled a bit, thus I am now wondering what this list needs to get that star. I am aware that more sources would be preferable and are needed, but for this kind of topic it shouldn't be hard to find them. I am more interested and wondering if the prose and the tables are good enough and appropriate and if something needs to be added. Thanks, Ratipok (talk) 00:27, 10 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]
  • Olympic games → Wikilink to International Olympic Committee
  • Yugoslavia → Wikilink
  • distinct national entities → distinct states
  • The entire lead needs sourcing. There are a lot of facts and info here which are not sourced or cited which is not repeated elsewhere in the list. Info like "Yugoslavia was a multinational state with six constitutive ethnic groups (Bosniaks, Croatians, Macedonians, Montenegrins, Serbs and Slovenes), and significant ethnic minorities in Vojvodina (Hungarians) and Kosovo (Albanians)" is one example of info which needs to be sourced.
  • The ranking in this table is based on information provided by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and is consistent with IOC convention in its published medal tables. By default, the table is ordered by the number of gold medals the athletes have won in individual competitions. The number of silver medals is taken into consideration next and then the number of bronze medals. If athletes are still tied, equal ranking is given and they are listed chronologically, as when the medals have been won. → I'm not sure this is necessary?
  • The 'Rank' column needs to be marked up for WP:ACCESS (so that it is shaded grey)
  • The table shows the number of individual Yugoslav Olympic medals, won per region. By default, the table is ordered by the number of gold medals the athletes have won per region in individual competitions. The number of silver medals is taken into consideration next and then the number of bronze medals. If regions are still tied, equal ranking is given and they are listed chronologically, as when the medals have been won (athletes who have won Olympic medals are listed below alphabetically). Regions used are the Socialist Republics that were in use in Yugoslavia from 1944 until 1991 and the breakup of the country. All six Socialist Republics have since become fully independent nations and are members of the International Olympic Committee (IOC). The table uses place of birth of the athletes to determine the number of medals per region and not their nationality or ethnic group. → Again, I don't think the first few sentences are needed here.
  • Same applies here for the 'Rank' column for access.
  • Also, I think their names should be showing in a column of their own, and shouldn't have to click 'Show'
  • Same for the 'Rank' column as previously mentioned in Team section and their names.
  • Again, I don't think the paragraph about gold being first then silver etc. is needed. It's getting repetitive now too.
  • As such, the list looks really good and structurally well laid out as a whole, but I'm a bit concerned that there are only three references and practically no citations in the article at all.

Hi. Thank you for your review. I will look into it and try to resolve the issues pointed out. For the sources I am well aware they need to be added and will provide them (shouldn't be a problem with this topic). I will try to do this during the next couple of days.
