Talk:Great Britain at the 1992 Winter Paralympics

Peer Review
This review was undertaken at the request of an editor on the Olympics Project talk page. The article looks good, I did a touch of copy editing in the lead. It's a shame that so much of the article is red-linked. I'm not sure how that will affect its GA candidacy. That's up to the individual reviewer. Your explanation of the disability classifications is good. You probably want to convert the metric distances per WP:UNIT. Any images? The GA Criteria recommend images wherever possible.

 * I've converted the distances, my hope is that they accept the redlinks as WP:OLY policy as for an image i've looked but finding any info on these Games is difficult an image seems impossible. Thanks for taking the time to look over the article - Basement12 (T.C) 11:14, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

Great Britain?
The name of this article is wrong. "Great Britain" is an island. The country that includes amongst others the island of Great Britain is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The generally accepted short form of the country's name is the United Kingdom. Teams that participate in Paralympic tournaments are national teams, i.e. the team represents a country, not an arbitrary piece of land. Roger (talk) 13:50, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
 * No, no, a thousand times no. The name of the team at the Games IS GB. See Talk:Great Britain at the Olympics for a summary of the seemingly endless discussions on this theme. Basement12 (T.C) 13:54, 20 April 2010 (UTC)


 * May I suggest that it be explained in the article itself, perhaps in a hatnote. Roger (talk) 14:02, 20 April 2010 (UTC)


 * There is already something to this effect in the lead "The team was able to be made up of athletes from the whole United Kingdom..." Basement12 (T.C) 14:15, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
