I'll be reviewing this article in accordence with the guidelines at Reviewing_good_articles, Good_article_nominations. Sport is a new area for me so I'm also going to be looking at existing GA-class articles like 1960_Winter_Olympics and 1948_Winter_Olympics - and even FA class articles like 1956_Winter_Olympics and 1952_Winter_Olympics, although obviously the requirement isn't going to be that strict. The review will be completed today (23rd June) and there will be a straightforward seven days to correct any issues that come up.

Extra - Article is looking vastly better than it did 24-hours ago. The big remaining problem is that stuff in the lead is not in the rest of the article - sorting this out is doing to require changes to the prose all over the article so ideally I'd do another quick prose review after that happens. When sorting that out, it might be worthwhile to look at the number of sections you have that are only one paragraph (currently it's 8 out of 11) - might be worth combining a few together (and just finding a place to press enter a few times in the Background section).

 * I've moved much of the info that was formerly in the second paragraph of the lead to the "Participant Reflections" section, but I'm not sure where the text about the standards of the events and the outstanding athletes really belongs. I've also done a bit of copyediting, combined a couple of sections, and added paragraph breaks in the "Background" section. Graham 87 10:31, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
 * A plea to go easy on the capitalisation. It really does bumpety-bump the reader's eyes. Tony   (talk)  08:11, 26 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Only things left to do now are the images - and fixing the odd thing about the medal table. :) Fayedizard (talk) 20:43, 26 June 2012 (UTC)
 * The images are being sorted out on the HOPAU email list. I've fixed the India entry in the medal table; it was missing a point value. On the points, I think an explanation of that system is needed; it seems like five points were awarded for a gold medal, three points were awarded for a silver medal and one point was awarded for a bronze medal (which is the system I used when completing the "India" entry). However, this doesn't quite add up for the top three countries; according to this system, Rhodesia should have 89 points rather than 80 (easily explained by a typo), England should have 292 points rather than 280, and Australia should have 276 points rather than 305 (seems that at least one medal count is incorrect there). These values need to be cross-checked with the report. Graham 87 02:58, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Corrected errors in medal table - data entry issue. Removed points score until later date - need to determine how points were awarded.

Aussiesportlibrarian (talk) 03:36, 27 June 2012 (UTC) The image problem has now been resolved by a FUR (fair use rationale) being added to the logo, and the APC donating the other two images to Wikimedia Commons. John Vandenberg (chat) 06:49, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
