Comments
  • "were a multi-sport event" was a multi-sport event...
Done
  • Key needs to have (China) so it's not just the colour that distinguishes the row.
Done
  • Possibly needs an explanation as to why "Athletes from Kuwait" is so named...
Is it still necessary if that explanation is in the lead?
No, sorry, I missed that. It's fine as it is. The Rambling Man (talk) 17:21, 18 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Spaced hyphens in the reference titles should be spaced en-dashes.
Done

  • "12 November to 27 November 2010" isn't there a better way of saying this without needing to repeat November?
Is it correct to simply says "from 12 to 27 November 2010"?
I don't see a problem with that, or some people even write from 12–27 November... The Rambling Man (talk) 17:21, 18 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Done—Chris!c/t 22:12, 20 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]


Comments – Note that I gave a talk page review here, so most of my comments have been taken care of already.

  • The lead is quite short, at two small paragraphs. Is there anything more that can be added to it?
Not really. And I don't think the lead is that short when comparing this to the one at 2008 Summer Olympics medal table—Chris!c/t 22:12, 20 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Done—Chris!c/t 22:12, 20 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think you should oppose because it lacks a map. A map would be nice but it is not required. With that said, I will try to make one, though it would take some time.—Chris!c/t 23:07, 4 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Added—Chris!c/t 05:16, 5 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support but please add a reamark that China won about 40% of the gold medals. I opposed because in a short medal table like this one, one could argue that it is a cfork of a medallist table. Also, since there are only 9 non-medal-winning countries, it might be appropriate to list them somewhere. Nergaal (talk) 18:26, 5 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, done—Chris!c/t 20:16, 5 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment the only thing holding me back now is the accessibility of the map. You use colours without symbols, and there doesn't seem to be any alt text? The Rambling Man (talk) 18:34, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Alt text added. Symbol added.—Chris!c/t 00:21, 12 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comments from Harrias talk
  • "Athletes from 35 NOCs (Kuwait participated under the Olympic flag due to the suspension of its NOC)[2][3] won medals, leaving 9 without a medal, and 29 of them won at least one gold medal." – it is not particularly clear which noun is being referred to in the numerical list towards the end: 9 and 29 could refer to either the individual athletes, or the NOCs: can you clarify the sentence.
  • Similarly, the last sentence in the first paragraph: "Macau and Bangladesh won their first Asian Games gold medal from wushu and cricket, respectively." – Not sure if medal should be plural or not here, and you need a comma after medal regardless.
  • When I try and sort by 'Total' in the table, the page goes a bit funny, and tries to redirect me to somewhere else (undefined) on the page. (It adds a hash to the end of the address bar, as if internally navigating).
  • On the map, doesn't host country really represent the host city?
  • Ref 2 could do with a publication date (5 January 2010). (Check other references for possible missing information too)
  • Ref 32 is in the form YYYY-MM-DD, while all other references are DD MONTH YYYY

Fixed all except sorting issue. I don't know why it does not work for that particular column. It could be a bug or something.—Chris!c/t 06:30, 22 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Look like other medal table lists (e.g. 1984 Winter Olympics medal table) have the same problem. So, this is likely a site-wide bug.—Chris!c/t 06:34, 22 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It is because of "colspan". It works now after I removed it. Ruslik_Zero 16:53, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Resolved comments from Courcelles 18:33, 25 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
*Comments
"The ranking in this table is based on information provided by the International Olympic Committee (IOC)" I know that's the boilerplate, but where has any information here came from the IOC?
I don't think that part of the sentence is helpful, so I took it out.—Chris!c/t 08:06, 25 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The nav template in the lede is hideous. Do we really need it, and if we do, please put it somewhere else and use a real image in the lede.
"the OCA stripped Qatari's Ahmed Dheeb silver" => "the OCA stripped Qatari Ahmed Dheeb's silver"
The map is... hard to read. If we must have it (I still oppose including maps in medal tables) why are the numbers so small and unreadable? I also don't see how adding numbers to a map helps for a screen reader....
"gz2010.cn" has to have a publisher/body behind it, who?
This needs to be given in all the inline citations, too. Courcelles 13:00, 25 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Done—Chris!c/t 18:30, 25 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Author, ref 4

Courcelles 18:36, 24 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Done all—Chris!c/t 08:06, 25 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
