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); and
I removed a citation out of the lead, put it in the body. (This move was imperfect. The text could be better integrated.) This now makes the lead summary style. --

Appears to follow the manual of style, avoids weasel words, incorporates tables in a correct way, has few grammatical errors and no spelling errors that I noticed. Is it the best written text ever? No, but appears adequate for GA. I would improve before taking it further. A peer review may given an idea as how to improve. Wording in the article makes sense to me. --

Broad in its coverage
Covers most topics adequately given the available scope, how many medals the nation didn't win, etc. It would be nice to have a a link to
Netherlands Antilles at the Summer Olympics or
Netherlands Antilles at the Olympics in background section or have additional information about the impact of the nation no longer competing independently on the Olympic movement in the country. On the other hand, this doesn't necessarily fit in the article as it is more aftermath of the games… Given that, giving this criteria a pass. --

Neutral
Article appears neutral, and does not appear to give
WP:DUE to any section. Does not appear to be bias in the coverage either negative or positive regarding the nation's performance at the games. --

Illustrated, if possible, by images
I removed the pictograms. They don't work with screen readers. :/ If it could be confirmed that pictures were sought for this article and none were found, this section will be given a pass. --

The other two athletes and the NOC don't have available pictures, to my knowledge. I could add a picture of sprinter
Churandy Martina, but it would be from his performance in games other than the 2008 Summer Olympics. Would that be appropriate? --Starstriker7(

That would be a nice addition, even if it wasn't from the games. As he's one of the major competitors for the nation, it wouldn't seem completely out of place. Description could read something like "2008 Netherland Antilles Olympian NAME competing at UNRELATED EVENT." That way, it makes sense given the picture not being from the Games. :) --

Overall
To pass, I would like confirmation of no images. I would also like to know if additional research has been done on the impact of the IOC decision for the nation in response to this being their last games. The latter isn't a requirement, but rather a nice to have as it would make the article more comprehensive. --
LauraHale (

I've confirmed. As for the additional research, it doesn't seem to be a particularly big deal in the former Netherlands Antilles or in the IOC; I could only find one reference from the IOC, and nothing at all from local English and Papiamento papers. I think it will garner more attention in the coming 2012 London games. --Starstriker7(

Not that surprised regarding the sources. :) Just wanted to confirm the research was done for the article, even if the results were "Nothing here." (I do Paralympians so have a great sympathy for "No information exists.") As we get closer, it might be worth remembering that and updating this article with some information… but for now, perfectly adequate. :) --
