List of Olympic medalists in badminton

 * Nominator(s): --  SRE.K.A.L. &#124; L.A.K.ERS ]]  22:07, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

My second nomination involving Olympic medalists. I'm sure there will be sourcing comments, and grammar/copy-edit issues, so feel free to post your comments! --  SRE.K.A.L. &#124; L.A.K.ERS ]]  22:07, 12 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Comments
 * That should be a Main article link in the lead, not a see also.
 * Done. --  SRE.K.A.L. &#124; L.A.K.ERS ]]  03:36, 14 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Focus on the history, winners, and tournament in the lead, not so much on qualification.
 * It appears that's copied from Badminton at the Summer Olympics. I'd recommend having unique material.
 * Tried to change the words...also, there's barely any history on badminton in the Olympics. The winners are already focused on the lead. --  SRE.K.A.L. &#124; L.A.K.ERS ]]  03:36, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
 * You may want to link to the Olympics articles for "since 1992" and the "following Summer Olympics".
 * Done. --  SRE.K.A.L. &#124; L.A.K.ERS ]]  03:36, 14 June 2009 (UTC)


 * "Indonesia and South Korea are the only other nations to have won six gold and fifteen medals." should be simplified to something like "more than five medals."
 * Done. --  SRE.K.A.L. &#124; L.A.K.ERS ]]  03:36, 14 June 2009 (UTC)


 * In the table, link to the most specific article. For the Men's singles section, link to Badminton at the 2008 Summer Olympics – Men's singles, not just Badminton at the 2008 Summer Olympics.
 * Done. --  SRE.K.A.L. &#124; L.A.K.ERS ]]  03:36, 14 June 2009 (UTC)


 * How many different athletes have won medals? Do you know the oldest and youngest winners? There may be other good stats on the other FLs.
 * I do know the youngest winner, but not the oldest. Also, after trying to fix the medals by year table, I'm really tired... --  SRE.K.A.L. &#124; L.A.K.ERS ]]  03:36, 14 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Mind doing Medals per year, medal sweep events, and a special TOC like in List of Olympic medalists in alpine skiing?
 * I think the medal sweep events are waste of space for this article, since there was only one. I'll mention it though it the lead. As for the others, Done.
 * P.S. Please fix the medals by year table. I don't know how to fix it. Thanks. --  SRE.K.A.L. &#124; L.A.K.ERS ]]  03:36, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

 * That's fine if you don't want the sweep if there's only one. I looked at the medals by year but have no clue how to fix it. Ask Scorpion, who made the others. Everything else looks fantastic and thanks for your time on it. Reywas92 Talk  15:50, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Is that what you're looking for on the medals by year table? -- Jonel (Speak to me) 01:32, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Sorry, but it was my first time making that kind of table, and took me forever, so I kind of rushed it. Also, thanks for fixing the table to be consistent with the other Medals by year tables. --  SRE.K.A.L. &#124; L.A.K.ERS ]]  03:25, 16 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Support no further comments. Reywas92 Talk  20:34, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Actually, I do. Could you simplify the Medals by year table to hide the blank ones, like List_of_Olympic_medalists_in_short_track_speed_skating? Reywas92 Talk  22:07, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Done. --  SRE.K.A.L. &#124; L.A.K.ERS ]]  22:30, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Great. I reaffirm my support. Reywas92 Talk  23:33, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Dabs; please check the disambiguation links identified in the toolbox. Dabomb87 (talk) 13:26, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Fixed all. --  SRE.K.A.L. &#124; L.A.K.ERS ]]  22:07, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Comment – Images need a check from a knowledgeable editor. The Lin Dan photo has "Me" as the author, the Taufik Hidayat picture needs an OTRS ticket number (assuming it received one), and I'm unsure about the mural image.  Giants2008  ( 17-14 ) 22:33, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I'll fix the Lin Dan photo later, as I already know it was taken by the same person as the Zhang Ning photo (from quality of image, and same uploader). The T. Hidayat photo already has permission from the original source, though no proof that this is true, but I would probably AGF that. The mural image is probably a problem, since I don't know which 2 of the 4 brothers are on the mural, and it's also not a photo. I'll take that one off if you request me to. I don't know that much editors who know how to image check, so it'll be awesome if you know any I can contact. --  SRE.K.A.L. &#124; L.A.K.ERS ]]  22:43, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
 * For a thorough image check, I recommend asking User:Jappalang, who does great reviews at FAC.  Giants2008  ( 17-14 ) 21:32, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Also and, although the latter is usually busy. Dabomb87 (talk) 22:30, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Asked Jappalang. --  SRE.K.A.L. &#124; L.A.K.ERS ]]  22:30, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

Support, all issues resolved. Dabomb87 (talk) 01:22, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Sources look good. Dabomb87 (talk) 14:08, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

This might be unpopular but it seems through discussion with Dabomb and others here and here that the 3 letter abbreviations do not comply with WP:MOSFLAG. From what I can gather either the flags need removing or the full country names need giving. Rambo's Revenge (talk)  23:30, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Replaced the IOC flag templates. --  SRE.K.A.L. &#124; L.A.K.ERS ]]  05:38, 20 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment Could you remove the use of the word "and" from the tables? It's a tad distracting and I think they would look better with the names aligned. (so Antonius Ariantho Denny Kantono rather than  Antonius Ariantho and Denny Kantono . --  Scorpion 0422  20:45, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Done. --  SRE.K.A.L. &#124; L.A.K.ERS ]]  20:55, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

Oppose on an image: Other Images are appropriately licensed. Jappalang (talk) 11:56, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
 * File:Taufik Hidayat.jpg: there is a claim of OTRS but that was since 20 April 2008. Even if the OTRS is received, the photo is suspiciously enough a scan from a magazine (texture, caption, and the orange border at bottom right&mdash;sign of a bad alignment and crop) that it should be nominated for deletion.  The hosting webmaster is not the author of the scan (it was donated) and we should not assume he recognised a possible copyright infringment.
 * Removed image. --  SRE.K.A.L. &#124; L.A.K.ERS ]]  20:40, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Support – I previously did some cleanup in the lead, and feel comfortable supporting now that the images have checked out.  Giants2008  ( 17-14 ) 21:25, 23 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Support - Looks good. – ( iMatthew  • talk ) at 02:19, 24 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Support my concerns fixed. The Rambling Man (talk) 11:11, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
