I've listed this article for peer review; I want to take this to FLC, but I know my writing can be clunky, so I really need opinions on the prose and images. The pattern is based off the recently-promoted FL List of Olympic medalists in baseball as the fate of both sports was identical for 2012 and 2016.

The other issue other than flow I know of is that I need a citation for which IOC session added softball to the Games. This has proven quite elusive.

What makes Sports-Reference.com a wp:rs?

See the comment at the bottom of this FAC, the credible people behind it, and this recent FLC where the only discussion of the website was how to cite it, not whether it should be done. Bradjamesbrown (talk) 15:41, 14 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- The FAC only asserts credibility to pro-football-reference.com, not the other sites. The fact that others havn't picked it up, doesn't mean its a respectable source. As to who made, pr WP:SPS clearly states "Self-published material may, in some circumstances, be acceptable when produced by an established expert on the topic of the article whose work in the relevant field has previously been published by reliable third-party publications." so you need to assert that a reliable 3rd party has used sport-reference.com Sandman888 (talk) 14:12, 15 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There's a lot of redlinked names. Too much for my liking as a whole team is redlinked.

I'll address some of the others in a bit, but this would mean creating 15+ BLP's that the only thing I could say about would be along the lines of Masumi Mishina's article. I don't know if, in light of recent events on-wiki, a bunch more of those type of BLP's is actually an improvement. Bradjamesbrown (talk) 15:41, 14 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Captions: wikilink names.
Captions: needs re-writing.
Lead:
- clear favourite - says who?
- POV - words as 'only'
- Needs copy-editing: lead should discuss softball more and not be a mix of facts which can be deduced from the list.
