will review shortly, seems pretty straightforward... Idiosincrático (talk) 01:53, 24 February 2024 (UTC)

Feel free to disagree with anything.

Djibouti uses dmy dates as their regular dating standard, so I think it would be safe to use those dates in the article; as well as non-N.Am spelling. So the following points address these:

• Insert the following templates at the top of the article: {{EngvarB}}, {{Use dmy dates}} and {{Short description|none}}; the dmy will change all the reference formats.
• Dates in the infobox: "July 23, 2021 – August 8, 2021" –> "23 July 2021 – 8 August 2021"
• It seems the dates in the article are mostly dmy format, except in the Swimming section: "FINA Points System of June 28, 2021." –> "FINA Points System of 28 June 2021"

All three images in the article need alternative texts. See MOS:ALT

Lead:

• The citation in the lead isn't necessary as the point of the COVID delay is already addressed and cited in the background section.
• "This was the nation's ninth appearance at the Summer Olympics. Djibouti did not field any athletes at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens."; these two sentences are probably better compounded as they're both really short and realated to each other, say: "This was the nation's ninth appearance at the Summer Olympics; Djibouti did not field any athletes at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens."
• "men's 800 metres and 1500 metres" –> "men's 800 metres and 1500 metres events"
• Overall, good lead

Background:

• "Djibouti, officially the Republic of Djibouti, is a country in the Horn of Africa." –> Wikilink Djibouti as first body mention.
• "As of 2023 the country had a population of approximately 976,143" –> Is it possible to find a population statistic for the time of the Olympics, say a 2021, 2020, or 2022 estimate instead of 2023?
• "independence from the French" –> "independence from France"
• "was recognized by the"; assuming we're going with the non-N.Am spelling, we'll go instead with: "was recognised by the"
• "number of Djiboutian participating at" –> "number of Djiboutian athletes participating at"
• "eight at the 1992 Games in Barcelona, Spain"; Un-wikilink Spain, per MOS:GEOLINK.

Athletics:

• "The heat's leaders were Jake Wightman of the Great Britain" –> Un-wikilink Great Britain here as it was linked earlier. Also the same with "eventual silver medalist Timothy Cheruiyot of Kenya."; Kenya was already linked
• Same again with "was led by Kenya's Faith Kipyegon who"

Judo:

• "men's lightweight competition, held on 26 July 2021"; remove 2021 and leave as just "26 July" here as the paragraph is already contextualised in the year 2021

Swimming:

• Un-wikilink "United States" at the end of the paragraph as it was linked earlier.

Other:

• All images look to be free which is good.
• Remove the "External links" title, there are no external links listed.

Overall looks good :) Idiosincrático (talk) 02:44, 24 February 2024 (UTC)

@Idiosincrático all done. Let me know if there are any more suggestions. Thanks for the review. -- EN-Jungwon 11:16, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
