1900 Summer Olympics medal table

Nominator(s): History6042😊 (Contact me) 18:29, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list because I think it is at a similar quality level to the other Olympic medal tables and a lot of those are FLs. History6042😊 (Contact me) 18:29, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

... Oh, I was working on this. I'm not sure that the changes made (see here) represent a significant enough contribution to be the nominator, especially as the sole one. The changes mostly consist of moving some text around and adding the standard medal table paragraph that someone else originally developed but I improved upon in July of last year. There's a lot to be done on this list still, including a lot of unreferenced text in the lead, and some more in depth explanations of points in the lead.

I just sourced a bunch of the lede. For the nominator issue are we allowed to nominate together? If so I am open to doing that. History6042😊 (Contact me) 18:57, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I am not interested in co-nomming this due to the premature nature of this nomination and the numerous issues I see with the list in its current state. I anticipate I will be providing a long list of issues with this list at some point. Noting that I will not be the one to close this nomination at any point either, due to what I perceive as a conflict over the nomination. Hey man im josh (talk) 22:45, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hey @History6042 I would be expanding the list today (I have decided to add awards section - as in the french article The AP (talk) 13:39, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

Six paragraphs is too many for the lead, especially when one is only one sentence long. Consolidate into fewer paragraphs
"Gilt silver medals were awarded for 1st place in shooting" => "Gilt silver medals were awarded for first place in shooting"
Why are the events in that paragraph not linked whereas earlier ones are?
"Whilst 2nd place silver medals were awarded in shooting, rowing, yachting, tennis, gymnastics, sabre, fencing, equestrian, and athletics." - this is not a complete sentence
....also, second should be written as a word
....and the same comment about linking events
"With 3rd place bronze medals being awarded in gymnastics, firefighting and shooting." - this is also not a sentence
....and the same comments about linking events and writing third as a word
"With most of the listed prizes were cups and other similar trophies." - this is also not a sentence

That's what I got -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 21:26, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Done History6042😊 (Contact me) 21:42, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Apologies - one other thing. In the lead you say that the US won the second-most of each colour of medal but you don't actually say which country won the most! -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:27, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Done, thanks for noticing that. History6042😊 (Contact me) 12:22, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
New version looks a little odd when you give the medal tallies for the US, but not for France.....? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 12:27, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Done History6042😊 (Contact me) 12:39, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Just noticed another thing (sorry!) - the lead days 19 NOCs medalled, but the infobox says 21....? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 12:27, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Done, that was leftover from when Canada, Luxembourg, and Bolivia used to be counted separately from their mixed teams. History6042😊 (Contact me) 12:38, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

TheAstorPastor's comments

Official website of Olympics display 26 Nations, while the article says 24? Please look at this The AP (talk) 10:45, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Done, changed to 26. History6042😊 (Contact me) 12:08, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The article says A total of 1,226, and it also says 720 of the 997, i.e total number was 997. Please rectify this. The AP (talk) 16:42, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Done, removed the statement. History6042😊 (Contact me) 16:44, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hey @History6042 I see many potential changes, including rectifying problems that arise due to the changes made in IOC's databases over the years. I believe in 2-3 days all changes will be implemented. So can you wait? The AP (talk) 18:08, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, if these changes can be implemented I am willing to wait for a while. However, I do not fully understand your question, are you offering to make these changes or telling me a timeframe in which I should be able to implement these? History6042😊 (Contact me) 18:12, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Offering The AP (talk) 19:08, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, thank you. Yes, I am willing to wait. History6042😊 (Contact me) 19:58, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
