review
This is a nice little article. I've made some copy edits.[1] You are free to revert them if you disagree. I've just a few suggestions:
They all look good. Thanks. --Starstriker7(Talk) 16:59, 15 July 2012 (UTC)
"including three male athletes participating in two sports." - composed of three male atheltes"?
Fixed. --Starstriker7(Talk) 16:59, 15 July 2012 (UTC)
"26 year old:"  26-year-old - should be hyphenated
I've changed it as such. I've never seen it written that way, though. --Starstriker7(Talk) 16:59, 15 July 2012 (UTC)
"ni-Vanuatu sprinter" what is ni-Vanuatu"?
"ni-Vanuatu" is the nation's demonym. I've wikilinked it to the country as a clarification. --Starstriker7(Talk) 16:59, 15 July 2012 (UTC)
"He ranked 68th out of the 80" - who is the "he" (can figure it out only by looking back several names).
Fixed. --Starstriker7(Talk) 16:59, 15 July 2012 (UTC)
"85 athletes participated in the qualification heats," - not supposed to start a sentence with an number
Rearranged. --Starstriker7(Talk) 16:59, 15 July 2012 (UTC)
"twelfth place of the twelve athletes in the event, behind the Phillippines' Hidilyn Diaz (192 kilograms) and Poland's Marieta Gotfryd (200 kilograms)" - and nine others also?
I've emphasized that those athletes were respectively in eleventh and tenth place. Let me know what you think. --Starstriker7(Talk) 16:59, 15 July 2012 (UTC)
Will put on hold while you respond.

That should be everything. I additionally revised a note saying that Guadalcanal was the main Solomon Island (even though it has the capital, it is not the most populous island, so to say that may have been POV on my part), in case you checked back and noticed the extra copyedit I made. Thanks for reviewing the article, and I'm glad you enjoyed reading it. :) --Starstriker7(Talk) 16:59, 15 July 2012 (UTC)
Great! Here's a link to the MoS on hyphens: Mos:Hyphens. I think I'm reading it right, but maybe not!  MathewTownsend (talk) 18:22, 15 July 2012 (UTC)
