Background

• "The National Olympic Committee of Sierra Leone was recognized by the" - recognised
• Why did Sierra Leone not enter the Olympics in 1972 and 1976?
  • As best as I can tell, they just didn't in 1972, and they participated in an African boycott in 1976. Courcelles (talk) 22:17, 29 November 2018 (UTC)
    • That said, I'm having trouble finding a source that explicitly lists Sierra Leone among the boycotters in 1976.... Courcelles (talk) 22:23, 29 November 2018 (UTC)

Tables

• As ever, the data tables could have the scope="col" field in the columns to improve accessibility per MOS:DTT

Athletics

• "and was drawn into heat six." - assigned to heat six. for variety
• "the gold medal is vacant due to original gold medalist" - medallist
• "the original silver medalist," - same as above
• "had her own issue with missing a drug test at the 2004 Summer Olympics" - a period is needed to conclude this sentence

Weightlifting

• "Bronze was earned by the Arsen Melikyan of" - remove "the"

That is all from my side. Nothing major was found in my read-through. MWright96 (talk) 07:52, 29 November 2018 (UTC)

• Everything done except sourcing the boycott (so has been left out for now), noting not even the "Historicla Dictionary of the Olympic Movement" connect them with the 1976 boycott, just saying they missed the 1972 and 1976 Summer Olympics. MWright96, any ideas on a good source? Courcelles (talk) 22:27, 29 November 2018 (UTC)
  • @Courcelles: Could find anything specific about Sierra Leone's non-participation in those years. Other than that, am now able to promote this to GA class. MWright96 (talk) 07:32, 30 November 2018 (UTC)
