Rugby union at the Summer Olympics[edit]

Users at WP:RU would like feedback on the article to get it to FA status. It has had two previous peer reviews and is currently listed as a good article. Cheers. Cvene64 08:47, 19 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Shudda's review[edit]

My thoughts:

  • Lead needs to be expanded as per WP:LEAD
  • In the 1900 section, does not explain how the France team is selected? Was is a representative team, or a club side that won the right to compete for their country. Also, how did the Frankfurt club and Mosley Wanderers RFC come to represent their respective countries.
  • Also, are their match reports for the games?
  • Why was it not played in 1904 and 1906?
  • What was the RFU's involvement in 1908?
  • Is there more information that can be given about the 1908 game?
  • Why was the sport not included in 1912?
  • Did the american team in 1920 ask to compete? Were they asked themselves?
  • Why did Czechoslovakia and Romania withdraw?
  • Any other info on the 1920 match.
  • Can you say who installed France as 20-1 favourites?
  • Can you expand on the game?
  • I've read about the 1924 match before, can more be said about the French media's reaction, rather then just one sentence.
  • The 1936 thing is interesting. Can more be said about the matches? Is there a wiki-link to exhibition match. If not, please include more details.
  • I think the info regarding the 1976 boycott can be expanded.
  • There is not much about all the reasons for rugby being turned down for inclusion. It's been requested many times, but turned down every time. Why is this?
  • Apart from that, just general things. Seems to be several types of English used. Organization?
  • References seems fine.
  • For FA, would need more images.

Hope this helps. - Shudda talk 10:03, 19 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
