Olympic standard achieved!
Hi! I think this is quite a robust article, and is very adequately referenced. The image is a great addition. Content is well-developed. NPOV tone throughout.

My suggestions would be:
 * find categories to add at the bottom of your page
 * work away at internal wikilinks
 * does your section on Goals of the Movement have a source you could reference?

those would be my initial impressions and suggestions for areas of focus, but it is very nicely done! Gold medal award!--Ncsjfreed (talk) 22:42, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

Very Impressive!
Well done! This article has it all ... information stated in NPVO, internal & external links, photo of logo. Very informative, I learned things I did not know. I agreed with Ncsjfreed ... gold medal award!--4tiggy (talk) 01:10, 23 July 2011 (UTC)

Knocking it out of the park
Hi Stan: I took a look at Olympictruce.org after reading your article and realized that I was able to get a better overview, more quickly, by reading your article than I could by visiting the official site...which I think is exactly the reason people love Wikipedia. So, at least to my inexperienced eyes, you've met the standard! Well written and a pleasure to read, too. I agree with Ncsjfreed's comments on finding a source for the goals section - it looks like you might have synthesized from a few places, and to avoid any charges of non-NPOV it might be a good idea to give links. And hey - thanks for adding the pic to my article! I haven't figured out the ins and outs of the commons for images yet, so was considering taking my own and posting it...but I think you've saved me a trip downtown. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Oishiisou (talk • contribs) 15:21, 24 July 2011 (UTC)

Organizational Structure
As usual, you've rocked another wiki masterpiece! My only suggestion would be to give context to whether there is a formal organization that keeps Olympic Truce alive, or if it is a volunteer association under another Olympic body. Keep it going - looking great. Bavic1 (talk) 17:30, 24 July 2011 (UTC)

Nicely done
Hi Stan mact, I like the topic, the sources, and how it fills in a niche in the larger topic. In fact, I immediately wanted to start following the links (rather than provide feedback ;). As Ncsjfreed suggests additional wikilinks would be useful -- in particular to the individual pages for each of the games you list. I imagine that you will also want to source some of the games (e.g., 1994 and 2004). On another note, I liked your info box on the top of your page -- I tried to borrow the link but it "broke" some of my other specific formatting. Lots to learn!

DYK-comments
This is just my interpretation of the DYK:Rules & DYK:Additional Rules. Hope this is helpful :)--4tiggy (talk) 01:14, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
 * It is my understanding that the cited hook must be an inline citation to a reliable source, and citations by convention tend to be at the end of the sentences ... not sure I see this in these articles, may be there ... just need to check closely - especially Menopause article as is it long.
 * As to the carpool article, again not sure if inline citation for hook is there or if you have found a reliable source to collaborate connection between Carpool & Toyota ... Toyota's internal link to their Wiki-article does say it is a "sponsor", but doesn't indicate that it is sponsoring Carpool. You may have found that info in another place beyond the carpool article indicating Carpool/Toyota sponsorship.
