review

• This is an interesting and well written article. I have just a few comments:
• I've made some copy edits which you are free to change.[1]
  • I have revised one of them relating to wikilinks to Saint Kitts and Nevis, which is a single sovereign state. --Starstriker7^(Talk) 17:26, 15 July 2012 (UTC)
• "Tonga submitted its first delegation to the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, California. As of 2008, this delegation was its largest, although all were entered in the same sport and none of them were women. The first female Tongan athlete participated in the Olympics at the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul." - a little confusing. I had to read it over several times. I think you're saying that the first delegation (in 1984) was the largest so far (as of 2012) and did not have any women. The first female from Tonga entered in the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, one of three athletes from Tonga.

• Can you clarify?
  • I think I've worked it out. Let me know what you think. --Starstriker7^(Talk) 17:30, 15 July 2012 (UTC)

• "Tohi attended Tonga's Lavengamalie Christian College in the national capital of Nuku'alofa." - seems like unnecessary detail and should be removed - doesn't have anything to do with the Olympics.
  • Nixed. --Starstriker7^(Talk) 17:26, 15 July 2012 (UTC)
• suggest moving the image up to the "Athletics (Track & Field)" section where it won't bump into the table. Also, although there appears to be a game on the field, it also shows the track in the stadium, appropriate for Track and Field.
  • All set. --Starstriker7^(Talk) 17:26, 15 July 2012 (UTC)
• Will place on hold.

Thanks! And thank you, also, for doing this review and the Solomon Islands one. The article should be all set. --Starstriker7^(Talk) 17:30, 15 July 2012 (UTC)
