Acronym usage[edit]

64 archers took part in the Olympics, with each NOC being able to enter a maximum of three archers.

What is an NOC? I'm guessing it's roughly equivalent to "country", but the article doesn't say, and it ought to really. --Camembert

National Olympic Committee when referring to sport normally but you can never guarantee what the writer meant. Could be Never Opinionated Christian or Normally Outlandish Cuckoo?? Scraggy4 00:30, 21 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Expanded the acronym. - Jonel 02:38, 21 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Thanks both. Good article, by the way :) --Camembert

Copyright violation[edit]

If you check this section of the official website, you will see that when you place the arrow over the pictogram, the text says that they are property of the ATHOC (ATHens Organizing Committee). Is there any cause for this to be considered fair use? As a matter of fact, there are quite a few articles on olympic events displaying the respective pictograms, it would appear that all of them will have to be removed. Redux 05:14, 22 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Four arrow shootoff[edit]

The official website is slightly misleading in the result of Sobieraj vs Thin in the womens round of 64. The tie-break went 9-9, 8-8, 8-8 but a fourth arrow was required as the third arrows were too close to call even after measuring the distance to the center/ Sobieraj then won 9-7 on the fourth arrow, see [1] (polish) Matthewmayer 10:05, 1 Sep 2004 (UTC)

GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

This article is in decent shape, but it needs more work before it becomes a Good Article.

  1. Is it well written?
    A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
    Well done.
    B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:
    In the Qualification and format section, it would be best if "National Olympic Committees (NOC's)" were mentioned once, so you don't have to repeat using "National Olympic Committees" and instead just add (NOC). The links for "Hiroshi Yamamoto" and "Laurence Godfrey" need to be fixed.
    Check. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 01:05, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Is it verifiable with no original research, as shown by a source spot-check?
    A. It contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline:
    B. Reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose):
    C. It contains no original research:
    D. It contains no copyright violations nor plagiarism:
  3. Is it broad in its coverage?
    A. It addresses the main aspects of the topic:
    B. It stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style):
  4. Is it neutral?
    It represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each:
    In the lead, "Without surprise", sounds like POV.
  5. Is it stable?
    It does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute:
  6. Is it illustrated, if possible, by images?
    A. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content:
    B. Images are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions:
  7. Overall:
    Pass or Fail:
    If the above statements can be answered, I will pass the article. Good luck with improving this article!

Well, it looks like LAX did my dirty work, so thanks to him! I think everything is in order now. Thanks again! Jared (t)  15:38, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you to LAX for getting the stuff I left at the talk page, because I have gone off and placed the article as GA. Congrats. ;) --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 01:05, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
