- There are several paragraphs with no citations, especially in the Coaching section. Furthermore, reference 4 goes to a general Palmares list rather than a specific one giving Borlee's record. Likewise, there needs to be a specific citation of the (undoubted) statement about him being the father of Olivia, Jonathan and Kevin. -- Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 06:30, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks for your comments, and the work you already did at the article. I have added a lot more reliable and more specific sources, I hope I have done everything that is needed now, but if you want any more improvements or changes, just let me know! Fram (talk) 07:11, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
Additional citations check out fine. All now good to go, although it would be neat if you could cite two further statements: "His personal record over 400m is 45.4 seconds." and "The Belgian 4x400m relay team, including his two sons Kevin and Jonathan, ended fifth at the same games, also setting a new national record in that race." (The last bit needs citation.) Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 14:20, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
- Both cited now, thanks. Fram (talk) 14:36, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
