General

 * All mentions of the "Marshal Islands" needed to be changed to "Marshall Islands" since that is the official spelling for the country.

 * All mentions of the word "olympics" must be captialized
 * ✅ --Cameron11598 (Talk) 17:45, 30 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Wikilink the names of the athletes sent by the Marshall Islands at the first instance they are mentioned in the article.
 * ✅ --Cameron11598 (Talk) 17:45, 30 October 2017 (UTC)

History

 * "and gained International Olympic Committee" - the International Olympic Committee needs its acronyms put in parentheses
 * ✅ --Cameron11598 (Talk) 17:45, 30 October 2017 (UTC)
 * "during the IOC's on February 9, 2006." - Looked through the source and you need to clarify that the Marshall Islands' recognition occurred during the IOC's meeting in Turin, Italy on February 9, 2006.
 * ✅ --Cameron11598 (Talk) 17:45, 30 October 2017 (UTC)

Athletics

 * "This was the first olympic appearance for Garstang and the second olympic appearance for Nemra." - reword the second half of this sentence to avoid repetition of "olympic appearance"
 * ✅ --Cameron11598 (Talk) 17:45, 30 October 2017 (UTC)
 * For the second "The medals in the event went to athletes from Russia and South Africa." sentence, I think replacing the word "event" with "discipline" would be better for variety
 * "Haley Nemara competed in the women's 800 meter, where she finished sixth out of seven athletes in her heat." - Haley Nemara participated in the women's 800 meter, where she came sixth out of seven athletes in her heat.

Swimming

 * "The medals in the event went to athletes from France, the United States, and Brazil" - missing a period at the end of this sentence.
