1968 Summer Paralympics medal table

 * Nominator(s): Ba se me nt 12  (T.C) 00:56, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

The article is based on similar Olympic and Paralympic articles that already have FL status (e.g. 1, 2) and I believe meets (or very nearly meets) the criteria - Ba se me nt 12  (T.C) 00:56, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

Comments
 * The general reference and reference 1 and 6 need an ndash


 * External link should be in citeweb format


 * The lead doesn't give a background on what the Paralympics are; a sentence or two about the Paralympics should be added. Albacore (talk) 22:24, 13 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Comments: The lead is a bit thin and could do with a bit of an expansion per Albacore. If the list wasn't 22 nations I'd almost suggest it'd be merge-able back to its parent article, but I think 22 items is long enough for a stand alone list.

 * I've made most of the changes suggested by the three of you and expanded the lead to include basic information on the Paralympics. The link goes to track and field as there were no athletics events that would not be considered track and field (no road race/walking/cross-country etc) - Ba se me nt 12  (T.C) 19:26, 15 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Comment – The opening is similar to the "This is a list of" beginnings that have been discouraged at FLC for a while now. Some of the recently promoted medal table FLs have openings like what you'd find in the main articles on their respective events, and I think these work well and are an improvement.

 * I've moved the "is a list of..." to the end of the first paragraph, I believe it still needs to be included somewhere in the lead as it explains the ranking by gold medal total. Ba se me nt 12  (T.C) 21:56, 22 May 2011 (UTC)

Support solid list. Albacore (talk) 00:02, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Support – everything looks great. Just a note would look better before table for sorting the rows. I've done it for you already .  undefined — Bill william compton  Talk   02:01, 31 May 2011 (UTC)
