As a follow up to my nomination of the 2018 Winter Olympics medal table, I decided I wanted to complete a Summer Olympics medal table as well. It's based on other Summer Olympics medal tables that have also been promoted to featured list status, as well as the feedback provided at the other Summer Olympics medal table nomination. As always, I will do my best to quickly respond to and address any and all concerns that are brought up. Hey man im josh ( talk) 12:35, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
- "With 18 total Olympic medals, Latynin", should be Latynina.
- "for most Olympic medals," could be reworded as "for the most Olympic medals for an individual".
- "She also became, and still is, the record holder for most gold and total Olympic medals by a female athlete.", would this need an "As of,..."?
- The caption in the image should probably specify "at these games", as "competing athlete" could probably sound like an active athlete.
- Could add a footnote explaining "United Team of Germany".

"With 18 total Olympic medals, Latynin", should be Latynina.
– D'oh... fixed."for most Olympic medals," could be reworded as "for the most Olympic medals for an individual".
– Ehhh, I felt it was implied, but I've tweaked it."She also became, and still is, the record holder for most gold and total Olympic medals by a female athlete.", would this need an "As of,..."?
– Do we? I would think that's only really necessary if there's frequent changes in the rankings. I don't love the idea of this having to be updated every year, as opposed to being updated as necessary.The caption in the image should probably specify "at these games", as "competing athlete" could probably sound like an active athlete.
– I personally don't read it this way. I think it's clear enough based on the context of "... at the 1964 Summer Olympics, the most of any competing athlete"Could add a footnote explaining "United Team of Germany".
– Done.
- I hope I've addressed all of your concerns. Thank you so much for the review @

The only thing I can suggest is changing "over Taiwan's (Republic of China) participation" to "over the participation of Taiwan (Republic of China)", which just seems to read a bit more elegantly to me....... -- ChrisTheDude ( talk) 09:52, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
- Hey Chris, an IP actually added the names in brackets, which I felt were unnecessary and also interrupted the flow. I've also implemented your wording, which is definitely more elegant. Thank you very much for taking a look and providing feedback! Hey man im josh ( talk) 12:55, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
