Could you help?
Hi Basemen12, I put up a DYK four days ago and though user:belovedfreak and user:Sadads mentored me in posting it and correcting the errors no one has as at yet reviewed it. Could you do so for me and accord the appropriate DYK status. This is the [|link]. Thanks.-- CrossTempleJay     talk 14:56, 5 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I've made a review at the nomination page, I don't think your original hook is fully covered by the source but I've suggested a slightly tweaked alternative that should be fine - Ba se me nt 12  (T.C) 15:32, 5 May 2011 (UTC)

WP:OLYMOSNAT
Hey.

I can't see in WP:OLYMOSNAT that team rosters are "forbidden". If they're in templates, they don't take much place. In fact, as in this case, they save space.

And you did actually refer to article size in several of your edits to China at the... So I guess it's not irrelevant.

Cheers.

HandsomeFella (talk) 20:24, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Rosters containing pointless amounts of information (or colour) don't really help anything - why should heights, weights etc for players be listed? They aren't relevant to the topic and we don't list them for swimmers or judokas etc. Hence they should be removed or replaced with tables of stats - for example Great Britain at the 2008 Summer Olympics. The only reason the article was made longer by that particular edit is because it added text that should have been in the article anyway. Again take at look at Great Britain at the 2008 Summer Olympics to see the kind of thing we're aiming for with "Nation" at "Year" Olympic articles - Ba se me nt 12  (T.C) 20:58, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

Aruba at the 2008 Summer Olympics advice
Hi, could you help guide me as I go about the development of the article Aruba at the 2008 Summer Olympics? What sections should I add, and how can I expand it?

Additionally, when the article was GAR'd and delisted, some avenues for improvement were suggested, including biographical information on the athletes, the economic background of the event, and coach involvement; based on other similar GAs, I'm not sure if that is beyond the article's scope. --Starstriker7(Talk) 02:57, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Biographical info on the athletes may or may not be within the scope - generally I'd say that mentioning any previous appearances at the Olympics would be reasonable (sadly neither has any in this case) as would explaining how thay qualified for the Games, which could be done here if sources can be found, pointing out that Roodzant was born in the Netherlands would be fine as well. Coaches and any other members of the delegation could also be talked about (the Aruban IOC member mentioned in the GA review seems to fit the bill here). Information on the historry of the team at the Olympics is also fine up to a point, sports-reference shows that this was in fact the smallest number of competing athletes for Aruba at any Games, this is certainly worth a mention and if any reasons behind it could be found (maybe lack of money, maybe no one else was good enough or athletes just missed qualification?) that can go in. Take a look at Nauru at the 2008 Summer Olympics and some of the suggestions on the talk page there for a guide. Hope that helps -  Ba se me nt 12  (T.C) 12:33, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

Hi thanks for your support at DYK 5th (Scottish) Parachute Battalion. I have changed the hook to what we probably both think is a poorer hook, but would you mind reviewing it. Jim Sweeney (talk) 09:52, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
