2012 Summer Olympics medal table

 * Nominator(s): Birdienest81 (talk) 09:39, 26 February 2021 (UTC)

I am nominating the 2012 London Summer Olympics medal table for featured list promotion because I've feel that this list meets the criteria for inclusion. These Olympic games are personally my second favorite edition behind the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. This is my first non-film related list I am attempting to submit for featured list status and I based the format on other Olympic medal tables that became FL. Please feel free to make comments or make adjustments yourself. Birdienest81 (talk) 09:39, 26 February 2021 (UTC)

Support – Strong work all around. Hopefully we'll be able to make a new list for the Tokyo Olympics soon... RunningTiger123 (talk) 16:04, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

Solid work. Assuming you touch on the above, I support this nomination. ~ HAL  333  21:54, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Comments
 * Medalists in the archery men's team event. doesn't need a full stop.
 * Add a comma after On 21 November 2016 and the two following.
 * Done: I think I did what you've suggested in the comments. Although I'm not sure what you mean by "and the two following"?

Image review
 * Not sure what to say about File:2012 Summer Olympics medal map.png, which seemingly is an edit of another user's upload.
 * The file source for File:2012 Olympic Games Medal, Britain 2011.jpg is giving me a 404 error. Fix/replace that link, or use something else. Same goes for the URL used in File:Netherlands womens hockey celebrate - 2012 Olympics.jpg
 * When there's no evidence to the contrary, I'll assume good faith that File:Missy Franklin - 2015 World Aquatics Championships (cropped).JPG, File:Victoria Pendleton2 (cropped).jpg, File:British Team Cycling at the 2012 Summer Olympics – Women's team pursuit.JPG are the uploaders' own works as claimed
 * I have no concerns with File:2012 Summer Olympics Men's Team Table Tennis Final 6.jpg, File:Archery men's team - London 2012 - medalists.jpg, File:Usain Bolt 2012 Olympics 1.jpg, or File:US women's soccer team pileon vs Japan, Olympic gold medal match, August 9, 2012.jpg
 * Fixed--I changed two of the images where the link gives a 404 error into ones that have working links. As for the medals map, I'm asking the WP:FLC administrators if they know offhand about the usage rights or if they know someone else who is well versed with such issue.
 * Fair enough. File:2012 Summer Olympics Men's Team Table Tennis Final 6.jpg and File:Chris Hoy at the Homecoming Parade (cropped).jpg are also perfectly fine to use. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 12:50, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm confused what the suspected issue is with 2012 Summer Olympics medal map.png? I'm not seeing anything that would change it from a free-use image. The base world map is a CC-BY-SA map used for tens of thousands of files across wikipedia, and it's been colored in by a few editors, retaining the CC-BY-SA license for all revisions. There's nothing wrong with editing "another user's upload" for CC-BY-SA images, that's why we retain all of the old revisions with the editor's name (BY) and under the same license (SA). -- Pres N  13:04, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

In that case, the map is fine and the image review passes. I just didn't know whether recoloring a prior edition affected copyright status. Additionally, I now support the nomination. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 15:22, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

Source review – Pass
Doing now. Aza24 (talk) 19:48, 20 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Formatting
 * Do we need "Retrieved 24 February 2021" in the external links? Seems weird to only have it for one of them
 * Fixed: Removed date in External Links section since it only referring to the website as a whole.


 * ref 7 missing author
 * Fixed: Added Ben Snider-McGrath as author.


 * ref 38 is using a different template than the other refs I believe (for some reason the date isn't after the author)
 * Fixed: Moved date from "issue" paramter to "date" parameter in template.


 * there's a lot of inconsistency with news sites, Reuters is italicized once, but not the other time—this is just one example, it should be standardized throughout
 * "Fixed: Moved news organizations that are not italicized (i.e.: Associated Press, Reuters, and Yahoo Sports) from work parameter to agency parameter in order to de-italicize the title.


 * can you translate the date on ref 58?
 * Fixed: Translated "čer" into June.


 * ref 67 seems to be missing a publisher or some equivalent parameter, ref 71 and 73 as well
 * Fixed: Added Court of Arbitration for Sport as publisher of material.


 * Reliability
 * no issues here


 * Verifiability
 * checked a couple—looks good. Aza24 (talk) 20:16, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I've fixed the issues based on your feedback. Thank you
 * --Birdienest81 (talk) 23:02, 22 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Looks great, pass for source review. Aza24 (talk) 23:40, 22 April 2021 (UTC)
