Talk:Philippines at the 2008 Summer Olympics

Number of competitors?
Xinhua claims that the Philippines are sending 15 competitors. We have sixteen listed here. Xinhua may be mistaken (it has been in the past on Olympic topics), but I felt I should point out the discrepency. Are we sure that all sixteen athletes we've listed are indeed going to Beijing?

 * I think that I solved the mystery. I cannot find a references that the Philippines is sending an archer called Jonathan Dean to the Olympics. I therefor removed this "competitor" from the list. Magalhães (talk) 09:56, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Xinhua claims "The country will send a squad of 15 athletes to Beijing to compete in boxing, taekwondo, shooting, archery, diving, swimming and weight-lifting." So, where's the 16 there? Xeltran (talk) 03:46, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

comments on article after nominated for GA
I am not going to do the GA review but I do believe that the prose on the event should come before the results of the competitors of that event. It looks tidier that way. I know that the olympics wikiproject has done guidelines on how these pages should be presented. You could ask them to see if this is correct or not. I thought I would tell you this just so you could clear this up while waiting for a proper GA review. 02blythed. For some reason I can not sign my name.
 * I agree, good thinking... That's how it's done at Great Britain at the 2008 Summer Olympics, which is a GA already. I'll make the change. TheCoffee (talk) 12:33, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

The article doesn't seem to be broad enough in its coverage, which is a GA criteria. Looking at the GB article, it has a media section and Solar Entertainment's coverage of the Olympics should probably be mentioned at least. --seav (talk) 02:24, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Added a "Media coverage" section. Not sure what else to add there... Any more suggestions? TheCoffee (talk) 14:47, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
