1984 Summer Olympics medal table

 * Nominator(s): Miyagawa   (talk)  13:58, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because I feel that it meets all the criteria. My third Olympic medal table, although only my first for a non-London based games. As such I've attempted to use American English wherever possible (major instance is center vs centre). The article wasn't in a terrible shape prior to my edits, but I've modified the table in include row scopes and fix the sorting. Also added citations and found out why the medal totals don't match up. Miyagawa  (talk)  13:58, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

Comments –
 * The opening is reminiscent of those "This is a list of" beginnings that we cracked down on a long time ago. Would it be possible to recast it?
 * Redrew the opening line based on the 1980 table. Should be less "listy" now. Miyagawa   (talk)  21:13, 8 March 2012 (UTC)


 * "over the United States support of Israel" Shouldn't it be States'?
 * Fixed as noted. Miyagawa   (talk)  21:13, 8 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Medal table: "Also, a second bronze medal was awarded for each of the boxing, judo events...". Replace the comma with "and". Giants2008  ( Talk ) 01:15, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Fixed as noted. That originally came about as I briefly had it as boxing, judo and tennis events. Then I realised the tennis events were only exhibition events and removed them - then promptly neglected to fix the grammar. Miyagawa   (talk)  21:13, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Support – Meets FL standards. Giants2008  ( Talk ) 23:02, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
