Hello, I am planning on reviewing this article for GA Status, over the next couple of days. Thank you for nominating the article for GA status. I hope I will learn some new information, and that my feedback is helpful. 
If nominators or editors could refrain from updating the particular section that I am updating until it is complete, I would appreciate it to remove a edit conflict. Please address concerns in the section that has been completed above (If I've raised concerns up to references, feel free to comment on things like the lede.)
I generally provide an overview of things I read through the article on a first glance. Then do a thorough sweep of the article after the feedback is addressed. After this, I will present the pass/failure. I may use strikethrough tags when concerns are met. Even if something is obvious why my concern is met, please leave a message as courtesy. 
Best of luck! you can also use the {{done}} tag to state when something is addressed. Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 
Please let me know after the review is done, if you were happy with the review! Obviously this is regarding the article's quality, however, I want to be happy and civil to all, so let me know if I have done a good job, regardless of the article's outcome.


### Immediate Failures
It is a long way from meeting any one of the six good article criteria -
It contains copyright infringements -
It has, or needs, cleanup banners that are unquestionably still valid. These include{{cleanup}}, {{POV}}, {{unreferenced}} or large numbers of {{citation needed}}, {{clarify}}, or similar tags. (See also {{QF-tags}}). -
It is not stable due to edit warring on the page. -

### Prose
#### Lede
2:10:40 - perhaps mention this is in hours, as this could be any timescale.Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 18:01, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
Changed on first use for clarity, but as H:MM:SS is acceptable under the MOS, I have left the rest. Harrias (he/him) • talk 20:45, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
30 KM, is this 30 km into the race, or 30 to go? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 18:01, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
Clarified as "After 30 kilometres (19 mi).."}} Harrias (he/him) • talk 20:45, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
presumably the race also took place on 6 October 2019? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 18:01, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
Fair point, clarified in the infobox. Harrias (he/him) • talk 20:45, 6 October 2020 (UTC)


#### General
preparing for the Ineos 1:59 Challenge.- is this covered by ref 8? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 18:04, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
Yes, the source doesn't mention it by name, but it says "Eliud Kipchoge, the Olympic champion, is preparing to go under two hours in Vienna". Harrias (he/him) • talk 20:47, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
rest of preview is good, but is "preview" the right word? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 18:04, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
It's what was the standard for these, but I agree that it doesn't quite encapsulate it; would "Background" be an improvement, do you reckon. Harrias (he/him) • talk 20:47, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
Background isn't quite right either, but its better than preview. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 18:11, 10 October 2020 (UTC)
