After you reviewed a few of my GAs a feel it's only right to return the favour :) IAWW (talk) 19:18, 23 March 2025 (UTC)

I made a few copyedits I didn't feel worth discussing, feel free to revert any issues. IAWW (talk) 19:19, 23 March 2025 (UTC)

Thank you for your review It is a wonderful world! I believe I have addressed all of your comments. -Riley1012 (talk) 23:26, 23 March 2025 (UTC)

Thanks @Riley1012, I think you did a great job of addressing my concerns, especially on the comments regarding neutrality. I think this article is now ready to pass. Congrats! IAWW (talk) 00:00, 24 March 2025 (UTC)

Prose (Criteria 1a, 1b, 4) clock

Lead

Could you add a brief summary of what the "all-around" is? Including what events they compete in, and what a "rotation" (referred to later in the article) is. IAWW (talk) 20:05, 23 March 2025 (UTC)

Suggest linking "Romania" to Romania at the 2000 Summer Olympics. IAWW (talk) 20:05, 23 March 2025 (UTC)

Suggest adding which nation Olaru and Xuan competed for, and linking the nations as above. IAWW (talk) 20:05, 23 March 2025 (UTC)

Background

Suggest linking Russian as above. IAWW (talk) 20:05, 23 March 2025 (UTC)

Suggest adding in the prose what nation Viktoria Karpenko was competing for. IAWW (talk) 20:05, 23 March 2025 (UTC)

Qualification results

Looks good ;)

Competition summary and vault height controversy

The countries could be linked as above.

This difference in height was enough to throw off a gymnast's timing and technique:

• WP:NPOV: "avoid stating opinion as fact". I suggest attributing to expert consensus, or a specific expert.
• There is an issue with tense here too. The word "was" is past tense, but "a gymnast's timing and technique" is a general idea. I suggest replacing "a" with "the". IAWW (talk) 20:05, 23 March 2025 (UTC)

It could cause gymnasts to miss the contact between their hands and the vaulting horse, which had the potential to cause serious injures: Another tense inconsistency. It would be good to attribute this to an expert or consensus. IAWW (talk) 20:05, 23 March 2025 (UTC)

During the third rotation, Khorkina, who had not heard about the chance to re-do her vault, fell off the uneven bars: How is the option to re-do her vault related to her fall on the uneven bars? IAWW (talk) 20:05, 23 March 2025 (UTC)

Ray, also rattled from her mistakes on the vault: Opinion, attribute IAWW (talk) 20:05, 23 March 2025 (UTC)

allowing her to jump up 21 places in the standings: "allowing her" is a bit indirect. IAWW (talk) 20:05, 23 March 2025 (UTC)

Suggest linking the first instances the individual events are mentioned. I think it is quite likely the reader will want to know more about them. IAWW (talk) 20:05, 23 March 2025 (UTC)

Romanian gymnast Andreea Răducan initially won the gold medal while her teammates, Simona Amânar and Maria Olaru won silver and bronze, respectively: Add a comma after the names to separate the non-restrictive appositive. IAWW (talk) 20:05, 23 March 2025 (UTC)

Andreea Răducan doping

Suggest linking "common cold" IAWW (talk) 20:05, 23 March 2025 (UTC)

she did not fail the doping test because she weighed more than Răducan: Opinion, attribute IAWW (talk) 20:05, 23 March 2025 (UTC)

The gold medal and silver medals: Do you mean "The gold and silver medals"? IAWW (talk) 20:05, 23 March 2025 (UTC)

was bumped up to the bronze medal: This doesn't quite make sense, because the bronze medal is not a position itself, but rather an award for finishing in third position. IAWW (talk) 20:05, 23 March 2025 (UTC)

Suggest linking "IOC president" IAWW (talk) 20:05, 23 March 2025 (UTC)

Dong Fangxiao age falsification

at the time of the Olympic Games: I think be precise that it was the 2000 Olympics. IAWW (talk) 20:05, 23 March 2025 (UTC)

Final results

It looks really ugly having the references under the table like that, could they be added to a table caption to make it look better? IAWW (talk) 19:18, 23 March 2025 (UTC)

Aftermath

The FIG also noted that the officials responsible were reprimanded but did not reveal the details: I think "stated" is more neutral than "noted" here. IAWW (talk) 20:05, 23 March 2025 (UTC)

Sources clock

Health/formatting (Criterion 2a) Y

No current issues with link rot, but it would be nice if all links were archived to prevent issues in the future. Everything is formatted nicely. IAWW (talk) 20:05, 23 March 2025 (UTC)

Reliability (Criterion 2b) Y

All large newspapers, official reports, reliable athlete websites and subject specialist magazines/websites. I don't see any issues.

Spot check (Criteria 2b, 2c, 2d) clock

Spot check based on this version.

[1a]: The source doesn't say she was the favourite, and even if it did it would be an opinion and would need attribution. IAWW (talk) 20:05, 23 March 2025 (UTC)

[1b]: Y

[6a]: Y

[7a]: Y

[10b, 13]: Y

[17]: Y

[18c]: Y

[27]: Y

[31a, 32]: Y

[41]: Y

Copyvio (Criterion 2d) Y

Earwig detects nothing, and all the sources are online so it is very unlikely it missed anything.

Scope (Criteria 3a, 3b) Y

It would be nice if there was some coverage of reputable media's reaction to the controversies, but I don't think this is needed for GA. IAWW (talk) 20:04, 23 March 2025 (UTC)

Media Y

No good images on Commons unfortunately.
