  • Why should the source, Sports Reference LLC, be considered reliable? I note their disclaimer: "Sports Reference LLC and www.sports-reference.com are not sponsored by or affiliated with the Olympics, the United States Olympic Committee or the International Olympic Committee."

  • @Gog the Mild: Sports Reference is a company that has been around for over a decade and has recorded several sports events, including the Olympics. They don't have to be affiliated or sponsored by the Olympics to report about it and be considered reliable, at least in my opinion. Most of the sources are in the pre-Internet era so it's difficult to find sources supporting the hook, but I have another source from Marca here that supports it. Let me know if you want me to add it. MX (✉ • ✎) 20:16, 27 October 2018 (UTC)
Hi MX. Thanks for that. Having done a little research myself, you are completely right. I should have done the research earlier. Or trusted the GAN assessor. (I didn't mean to imply that a source had to be affiliated to the IOC to be reliable, it was just an open question.) I guess that I was being lazy. If it were me, I would add the additional source, but it is not strictly necessary. Anyway, congratulations on the GA and now passing. Gog the Mild (talk) 20:43, 27 October 2018 (UTC)
Thank you for the review. I was not involved in the GA process at all; kudos to Courcelles (courtesy ping) for his excellent work here. Regards, MX (✉ • ✎) 20:49, 27 October 2018 (UTC)
General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Interesting, sourced, from a fresh GA. Good to go. Gog the Mild (talk) 20:43, 27 October 2018 (UTC)


Fixed the hook, this article is about the Olympics, not the Paralympics. Courcelles (talk) 14:05, 30 October 2018 (UTC)
