Will complete this one soon. JAGUAR 18:35, 17 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"The dominion did not appear at the Games again under that banner until 1960" - unclear, what banner? Southern Rhodesia or just Rhodesia? Also link 1960 Summer Olympics
"best result until it became Zimbabwe in 1980" - link Zimbabwe
"including a field hockey team, to the 1964 Summer Games" - link 1964 Summer Olympics
"In 1965, Prime Minister Ian Smith" - link Ian Smith
"Hall, for example, won a gold medal in the welterweight division of the 1930 British Empire Games" - I would start this sentence with his first name (Leonard) included as it was confusing for a while
"In 1965, Southern Rhodesian Prime Minister Ian Smith declared a unilateral independence from Great Britain" - this would be the United Kingdom in this instance, as 'Great Britain' only refers to the the team
"Despite political machinations from Great Britain" - same again

This is looking good. I couldn't find any issues while spotchecking the sources and the article is well written. I only pointed out a few minor concerns like underlinking and clarity, but once they're clarified this should be good to go. JAGUAR 19:01, 17 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Jaguar: Thanks for review! I think I have addressed all of these concerns, so please let me know what else needs to be done! Canadian Paul 12:23, 18 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for addressing them! With all of those minor issues out the way this should be good to go.
