Talk:Great Britain at the 2008 Summer Paralympics

Article to do
Following a quick survey of the other Nations at the 2008 Summer Paralympics articles, I think this is the most well developed. It would be great to get it to WP:GA standard? Here's some things we should look at doing to get it up to a standard for candidacy. Feel free to add to this list of 'to do' items and contribute to the article. Yboy83 (talk) 09:19, 17 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Bring to standard with WP:OLYMOSNAT
 * Mostly done
 * Require attention / missing:
 * Match summaries for some team sports ✅ Basement12 (T.C) 11:22, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Boccia & Table tennis - how is progression from the group matches to the single elimination rounds done? - should group stage matches be displayed like Fencing? – ✅ Unable to find any published tables either on the official site or elsewhere, i'm not amiliar enough with the sstem to calculate group positions from the results themselves (not sure how ties are broken) so i've removed the rank columns, simply whether the athletes progresed or not will have to suffice Basement12 (T.C) 11:22, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
 * ✅ Found a reference and added them in now. Yboy83 (talk) 16:57, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Cycling - are factor/actual times shown for all relevant events? ✅ As far as I can tell yes Basement12 (T.C) 11:22, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Judo - check round of 16 byes - found Quilter was wrong this morning. Should check others. ✅ - Think they are all correct, confusion probably arose as the first round tends to be called "preliminaries" Basement12 (T.C) 11:22, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Swimming - should be event &amp;endash; class instead of class event to match other sports. Also should other sports use the endash between event name and classification?
 * Comment-Go with the style Athletics at the 2008 Summer Paralympics - Men's 100 metres T12, i.e. using a hyphen in the links between sport and event with nothing between event and class, that's how the few event pages that have been created are. At some stage all may be moved to whichever style of dash is chosen for use, with appropriate redirects left, but at the movent using dashes may simply result in red links even if pages exist. Basement12 (T.C) 17:29, 18 September 2008 (UTC) ✅ Basement12 (T.C) 13:54, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
 * All sports - not all events are linked to the individual event pages - though most will be red, there is an inconsistency here ✅ Basement12 (T.C) 13:54, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Find and add more images - a fter extensive searching i've been unable to find any more free to use images Basement12 (T.C) 15:33, 26 September 2008 (UTC) Two images of non medalling table tenis players added Basement12 (T.C) 11:22, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Expand article lead, and leads for each sport ✅Basement12 (T.C) 15:33, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Check through the medallist list - there are definitely many missing from the last few days of the Games ✅
 * Keys, references, footnotes etc.


 * A good idea. The same could be said of Great Britain at the 2008 Summer Olympics where I think comparitavely little work would be needed, both are significantly better than their equivalents from other nations. I'd be quite happy to work with you on both these articles to get them to GA status. Basement12 (T.C) 16:38, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I've looked through Flikr using general search terms such as "Great Britain Paralympics" but couldn't find any useable images. The next step would be to search for specific athletes. I'll have a go with some of the more well known ones. The medallist list seems to now correspond to the official list, there may be the odd spelling mistake there though as i didn't check event names too closely. I'll also construct a medals by discipline table like on the olympic page. Basement12 (T.C) 14:03, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Have expanded some of the list above. Yboy83 (talk) 16:57, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
