1948 Summer Olympics medal table

 * Nominator(s): Miyagawa   (talk)  11:49, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list as the second part of my little project to upgrade the previous London Olympic articles prior to the 2012 games next year. I believe that the article is now on par with the other Olympic medal table FLs. Haven't been able to find an image of the actual 1948 medal, but the image added is from another games that uses the same design. Miyagawa  (talk)  11:49, 28 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Support – Fulfills the criteria. undefined — Bill william compton  Talk   08:47, 17 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Contradiction:
 * Sorry to be contrarian, comrades, but since neither caption on the two images are sentences, neither of them should end with periods. See MOS:CAPTION. Regards, &mdash; JohnFromPinckney (talk) 11:05, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Just to confirm, I've reverted it back to having no periods. Miyagawa   (talk)  20:02, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
 * And I'd like to confirm, in case it's not clear to all directors, that this nom shouldn't be held up because of my little quibble. I'm happy. &mdash; JohnFromPinckney (talk) 14:26, 17 September 2011 (UTC)

Comments –
 * Don't need the comma in "in March, 1946."
 * In the second paragraph, the en dash in "twenty–three" should be a regular old hyphen.
 * Photo caption doesn't need Marathon capitalized.  Giants2008  ( 27 and counting ) 00:16, 11 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks, fixed those points. Miyagawa   (talk)  20:09, 11 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Support – Meets FL standards.  Giants2008  ( 27 and counting ) 23:02, 16 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Support. Parutakupiu (talk) 23:47, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Comments:
 * Several links fail Links in that their target articles were not obvious, but this seems to have been ignored for similar FLs.
 * Changed the link to the 1944 Summer Olympics from just "1944" to "event in 1944" to make it clearer. Miyagawa  (talk)  22:14, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Some context would be nice - is second a good result for Sweden? Highest ever?  Did any countries win their first medals?  Which countries failed to achieve any?
 * Second wouldn't have been anything special for Sweden at the time - they'd been around the top for a while, and had previously been second on two occasions in 1912 and 1920. Regarding the other countries, some 25 countries didn't win medals. I can't find anything specific which states which countries won their first medal there. However, I did find a story about the delay in awarding the gold medals to the Belgian team cycling team. Miyagawa   (talk)  22:14, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
