2018 Winter Olympics medal table

 * Nominator(s): Hey man im josh (talk) 16:22, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

In the spirit of the upcoming Olympics, I started to working on this and it's actually my second non-American football related list nomination ever. It's based on 2022 Winter Olympics medal table, which was promoted May 14, 2023. As always, I will do my best to quickly respond to and address any and all concerns that are brought up.

Comments

 * "Four new disciplines in existing sports were introduced to the Winter Olympic Games program in Pyeongchang, including" - the use of "including" implies that the examples listed are going to be a subset of the total but in fact all four are listed, so I would replace "including" with a simple colon
 * "Athletes from Germany and Norway tied [...] tying the record" - maybe change the second one to "equalling" to avoid repetition?
 * Freestyle skiing guys image caption doesn't need a full stop
 * Maybe a footnote to explain "Olympic Athletes from Russia"?
 * "After the testing of the B sample that was also positive, the Court of Arbitration for Sport confirmed that they were instituting the formal proceedings" => "After testing of the B sample that was also positive, the Court of Arbitration for Sport confirmed that they were instituting formal proceedings"
 * That's all I got - nice work! -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:02, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
 * @ChrisTheDude: Thank you very much for the helpful review! I've implemented all of your suggestions, except that I tweaked your last suggestion to remove "that" from "that was also positive". Oh, I did also remove the period from Marit Bjørgen's photo, which I'm sure she would appreciate =) Hey man im josh (talk) 17:08, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

 * I assume that DSQ means disqualified. It might be worth creating a template for that, with a link to Ejection (sports). If not a template, then at least the link can be considered.
 * Just chipping in to say that IMO I don't think that would be the best link to use in such a template. That article covers the concept of players (in various sports) being required to leave the match/event while it is going on because of an offence.  What the "Changes in medal standings" table covers in this and similar articles is competitors who completed the event but then had their results revoked days, weeks, or even months after the event had finished.  It's not really the same concept..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:55, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Yup, it doesn't look like there is a good wikilink for that concept. Given that, Josh can use the Abbr template. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 09:14, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
 * You could merge the last two shortish paragraphs of the lead. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 08:49, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I've added the abbreviation template, that's a good call on that. I don't loooove merging those last two paragraphs, as they do feel a bit disconnected, but I also think it's a bit off to have those two sentences as their own paragraph, so I've combined them. Thank you for the review @MPGuy2824. Hey man im josh (talk) 16:32, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Support promotion. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 08:24, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

Comments and citation check from Arconning

 * Caption in image: Marit Bjørgen (pictured) won five medals at the 2018 Winter Olympics.
 * The caption in the image of the world map doesn't need a full stop.
 * Ties are usually mentioned in the medal table section of the article, based on other FLs of medal tables (to retain consistency).
 * Could mention the sport where Hungary won their first gold.
 * Will get to the source review tomorrow, just claiming it in advance. Arconning (talk) 15:23, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Hey @Arconning. I've made the changes to the image captions. I also expanded the sentence to call out the event for Hungary. As for the ties, I actually believe the mention that countries are sorted alphabetically if they're tied to be redundant. I don't believe there's really any other method we'd use to sort them in a tie, is there? In regards to Hungary's competition, Hey man im josh (talk) 16:45, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
 * 1) COC - Reliable, though just wondering why the date's August 10, 2011?
 * 2) IOC - Reliable
 * 3) Reuters - Reliable
 * 4) CNN - Reliable

 * 6) IOC - Reliable

 * 15) New Zealand Herald - Reliable
 * 16) POCOG - Reliable
 * 17) IOC - Reliable, but I'm just wondering what is this used for? If it's to be kept, change the hyphen in the title to an endash.
 * 18) The Guardian - Reliable
 * 19) Daily Mirror - A bit dodgy per WP:RSPSS, but the topic isn't contentious so I'm doing a conditional pass on this one.
 * 20) ESPN - Reliable
 * 21) IOC - Reliable

 * @ If it's part of the criteria, mentions in sources citing the International Olympic Committee, Canadian Olympic Committee, and POCOG, should be non-italicized. Also refs 8, 18, 21, and 22 could use archive links. If not, then I think it's good for me. Arconning (talk) 07:22, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Ref 1 – Absolutely a mistake. I just tested it in my sandbox to see how I made this mistake and it turns out the autofill from RefToolbar filled in the date as August 10, 2011. I didn't expect there to be a date, so I didn't click the "Show/hide extra fields" button. I missed that and now been removed, good catch!
 * Ref 17 – I did so to reinforce that the sorting method wasn't just a one time thing. In hindsight, this is definitely overkill and unnecessary. Ref 16 is literally perfect for verifying that. I've removed this ref.
 * Archive links – All have been archived. I had to wait a little bit after triggering the archiving on them, but they're all there now.
 * Italics – Why? My understanding is it doesn't particularly matter so long as it's consistent. As far as I'm aware, and I'd absolutely appreciate being corrected if I've misunderstood, it has nothing to do with the titles of the articles themselves, it's just the style of the type of citation.
 * @Arconning: Thank you so much for the source review! I hope I've addressed all of your concerns and, if not, I do intend to iron the rest out after your response. Hey man im josh (talk) 12:36, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
