Shall review for the GAN March 2021 Backlog Drive. MWright96 (talk) 17:11, 6 March 2021 (UTC)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose):  b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists): 
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (reference section):  b (citations to reliable sources):  c (OR): 

It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects):  b (focused): 

It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias: 

It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.: 

It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales):  b (appropriate use with suitable captions): 

Overall:
Pass/Fail: 


### Lead
"In the wheelchair races, American Daniel Romanchuk (1:37:24) and Switzerland's Manuela Schär (1:44:20) won the men's and women's races," - repetition of "races"
Fixed


### Course
"The runners then enter The Bronx for miles 19-20" - miles 19 and 20
fixed


### Field
"Also racing was 2018 Boston Marathon winner Des Linden, 2019 Boston Marathon winner Worknesh Degefa, and 2019 Tokyo Marathon winner Ruti Aga." - repetition of "winner"
Reworded and reorganised
"She faced stiffest competition from Americans Tatyana McFadden, Amanda McGrory, and Susannah Scaroni." - think this sentence could be reworded a little
Reworded
"The wheelchair race started at 8:30 EST (UTC-5), the women's race at 9:10 EST and the men's race at 9:40 EST." -  repetition of "race"
Removed words
"The winner of the men and women's races won $100,000 each, the winners of the wheelchair races won $25,000" - repetition of "winner(s)"
Reworded
"and a prize of $25,000 was given to the fastest man and woman from the Unites States." - typo; should be United
Fixed
"The temperature on the day of the race was an ideal 45 °F (7 °C)." - ideal according to whom?
I placed it in quote marks as it's what's used in the citation. I don't think there should be direct attribution as the inline citation is clear, so a reader can just follow that.
2018 New York City Marathon and 2019 Boston Marathon are both linked twice in this section
Removed links


### Race summary
"Keitany and Jepkosgei were together," - for which position?
In the lead; fixed
ABC News doesn't need to be italicised
Removed italics
"but was caught within the next mile." - caught by whom?
Not done. It says in the sentence that he broke away from the lead pack, meaning it is implied that he was caught by the pack.
"an unsponsored Ethiopian who did not start with the elite runners instead starting with the open field," - repetition of "start(ing)"
Reworded
"He looked "bewildered" standing next to the two other podium finishers." - according to whom?
Removed sentence. Trivial
The Bronx does not need to be linked here since it is already linked in the course section
Removed link


### Non-elite race
Is there any more information about the non-elite race to expand on instead of just having a single sentence in one paragpraph in one section?
I added a bit more. Sources rarely go into detail regarding the non-elite field. Usually it's just trivial mentions of celebrities who were running, which I don't include.


### Results
Table headers are missing from all the tables
sub-section headers removed and table headers added
The sources for the results should be with the results, rather than underneath the references section
Added to top
All tables should be MOS:DTABTUT compliant with the addition of "scope="col"s
Added
The athletes names in all the tables should be sorted by surname with the {{sortname}} template
Put names in the template


### References
Reference 9 "NYC Marathon: Joyciline Jepkosgei wins in 1st marathon, Geoffrey Kamworor takes men's" should include Associated Press as the agency
Added
The New York Post will need to be replaced with a more reliable source to cite the information it verifies per WP:RSP
Removed

@MWright96: thanks very much for the review. I've addressed all but one of the issues (under the 'race summary' section). Hope this is all okay. Kind regards, Willbb234Talk (please {{ping}} me in replies) 23:01, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
