 * athletics should be linked to track and field, Athletics (sport).--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 05:34, 10 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Otherwise, the article is long enough, new enough, supported by refs and copyvio free.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 05:34, 10 July 2013 (UTC)


 * Symbol possible vote.svg I've added the wikilink for athletics to the hook (picking the "athletics" one over "track and field"). However, I'm concerned about the sourcing in the article. Noticing a factoid that I thought probably didn't belong, the mention of a girlfriend where only a first name was given, I decided to check the source, FN6. No girlfriend. The previous sentence was also not supported. It turns out, on further investigation, that there are two completely different "news12" references, and one is supplanting the other in the reference list. This is not good. Can this be fixed, the currently invisible source checked to be sure it does back the article, and the article be checked for other errors? I also think it would be a good idea to remove random facts, like who he's dating, unless there's sourced info that indicates it's a serious relationship? BlueMoonset (talk) 19:08, 28 July 2013 (UTC)
 * I've fixed the references and removed the fact about his girlfriend, as the source does not indicate a serious relationship. Thine Antique Pen (talk) 12:31, 29 July 2013 (UTC)

 * Symbol question.svg The issues raised earlier are resolved. Article is long enough, new enough, properly sourced, and does not have evidence of copyvio issues. Hook is properly sourced and interesting. I have just one issue: the article and sources are inconsistent regarding his birth date and age. The article gives 1982 as his birth year, which is what some sources indicate. However, near the end of the article he is stated to have been 28 in 2012, which suggests the 1984 birthdate given in some other sources. The article shouldn't be confused like that. Is there some way to ascertain which birth year is correct? If so, please correct the date and add a footnote indicating that some sources give the other date. If the discrepancy can't be resolved, the article should give both birthdates, indicate that different sources give different dates, and avoid saying how old he was at the time of any particular competition. --Orlady (talk) 04:19, 12 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg I have edited the article to finesse the issue of his birth year. Good to go now. --Orlady (talk) 05:04, 18 August 2013 (UTC)
