This is Olympic medal table #7 for me (Winter Games nom #3), and it's the the shortest one I've worked on so far. There were no NOCs as a first time medalist or first time gold medalists, no stripped medals to mention, and only a single first time participant. It was a relatively run of the mill event, with high stakes of course. As always, I will do my best to respond to all comments as quickly as possible, and I appreciate any and all feedback that is given. Hey man im josh (talk) 18:32, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Comments
- "665 athletes representing" - I would suggest "A total of 665 athletes representing" to avoid that whole "starting a sentence with a digit" thing which, while probably not technically wrong, always looks a bit "off" to me
- Infobox image caption needs a full stop
- "Athletes presenting 14 NOCs" => "Athletes representing 14 NOCs"
- That's all I got! -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:53, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- Done! Thank you as always for the feedback @ChrisTheDude. Hey man im josh (talk) 18:00, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Placeholder. If you have a moment or are willing to review my FAC Ethan Winters, I'll also appreciate it! Unfortunately, it is not flc. 🍕BP!🍕 (🔔) 13:10, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The 1960 Winter Olympics, officially known as the VIII Olympic Winter Games and also known as Squaw Valley 1960, were a winter multi-sport event held from February 18 to 28, 1960, at the Squaw Valley Resort (now known as Palisades Tahoe) in Squaw Valley (now known as Olympic Valley), California, United States.
This seems to be a long ass sentence. Can you maybe reword/rephrase it?- Can you bundle those 4 citations together so that the article will look better?
- Can you maybe capitalize the "D" from the surname "De Bruin"? 🍕BP!🍕 (🔔) 13:10, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
This seems to be a long ass sentence. Can you maybe reword/rephrase it?
– Long as the sentence may be, it's following the standard format, and there's nothing technically wrong with it from my perspective.Can you bundle those 4 citations together so that the article will look better?
– I typically do not bundle citations unless there's five of them. My opinion is that this does not negatively affect the readability or make the article look worse.Can you maybe capitalize the "D" from the surname "De Bruin"?
– The source does not capitalize it, and if you look at De Bruin, you'll see it's a fairly common thing not to do so.

ZooBlazer
- Image has alt text, appropriately licensed, and the caption fits the article. So I guess with just one image, the image review passes
- Do you need all 4 of the first references together, or is it possible to cut it down one or two?
- Not sure if it's something absolutely needed or not, but based on reviews of my lists in the past, I've been told to include |+ {{sronly|TEXT HERE}} for the tables, so maybe add that.
Overall the article looks good! My comments are mostly nitpicking. It's crazy how many more medals are awarded these days compared to this Olympics. -- ZooBlazer 22:00, 26 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- @ZooBlazer: Thank you for the review! To address your points, I tried very hard to find the appropriate references to not use 4 refs on the lead sentence, but due to the name changes and the variety of information contained in the lead sentence, I was unable to. As for the suggested template, the purpose of that is to add a table title for screen readers. In that template, that heading is meant to only be displayed for screen readers. This is not necessary when there's already a title added to the table, but some people opt to hide a table title while others choose to include it. In this case, and in the case of most Olympic medal tables, it makes more sense to include the caption with the source as the top 10 entries for the table are often transcluded into the main Olympics article.
- Never feel bad nitpicking any of my noms, it only serves to make them better and pushes me to consider various aspects of what I'm doing when I'm doing them! Hey man im josh (talk) 17:13, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- All good then. Happy to support! -- ZooBlazer 17:36, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

- I have spot-checked the references and the medal totals look good.
- I believe a link to Category:1960 Winter Olympics would be worth a {{Commons category}} under the See Also section.
- Would it be worth adding an External Links section? There is an official site
All of these are minor nitpicks, list looks good otherwise. ~ Matthewrb Let's connect · Here to help 21:41, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- Thank you for the review @Matthewrb! It's my perspective that the official site link is better shared from the main article, which it is shared from. I also feel the same way about the commons category, since this is, in a sense/from my perspective, a subset/subtopic of the event. If there were a relevant sub topic of the commons category I think I'd be on board, such as Commons:Category:Sportspeople with 2024 Summer Olympics medals or Commons:Category:Podiums at the 2024 Summer Olympics. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:36, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- Fair enough, that does make sense. Since all of my concerns are addressed, I support this nomination. ~ Matthewrb Let's connect · Here to help 18:12, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
