# Talk:South Africa at the 2012 Summer Paralympics

Can someone who knows how, please add event tables to the page as has been done for others. See Sweden at the 2012 Summer Paralympics for the layout. Roger (talk) 08:22, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

SASCOC published the Schedule today - as an Excel file - please help setup the necessary tables. Roger (talk) 10:48, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

SASCOC's published schedule says SA will play in Pool A and it lists Spain as one of the Pool A teams, but according to Wheelchair basketball at the 2012 Summer Paralympics Spain is not one of the qualifiers. Roger (talk) 08:06, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

 Spain in Group A is correct. The Qualification section of Wheelchair basketball at the 2012 Summer Paralympics is incorrect. Roger (talk) 14:44, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

The issue has already moved out of the news here in South Africa. Pistorius apologised, SASCOC released a statement saying they accept Pistorius' apology, support him and will take up the issue with the IPC later (after the games) and that apears to be pretty much the end of it as far as the SA media are concerned.

Hi! Will get to this soon. Sainsf <^>Feel at home 07:17, 26 April 2016 (UTC)

Hi Sainsf, just as a heads up if case you were unaware of it and had questions over the use of tables etc. the style used in this article follows that set out in WP:OLYMOSNAT. Thanks - Basement12 (T.C) 09:52, 26 April 2016 (UTC)
Thank you, I find no trouble with the formatting. Sainsf <^>Feel at home 12:40, 27 April 2016 (UTC)
Nice work. Here are my comments:

In the lead, does "at the" need bold?
No, I have removed the bolding per MOS:BOLDTITLE.
The source(s) for the table should be explicitly mentioned, ensure that each point is sourced.
All event results are sourced from https://www.paralympic.org/results/historical by performing a database query. It is not possible to directly reference each individual result.
It should be clarified that all the entries in these tables is based on information from this database. It is really important else others may litter it with citation needed tags. Sainsf <^>Feel at home 18:25, 30 April 2016 (UTC)
@Sainsf: I hoped the general citation I added at the top of the reference section would be sufficient? It has been in the past for previous GA's on the Olympics where an Olympic Report was referenced. If you have a suggestion on how to clarify things then I'm open to suggestions (perhaps a hidden note at the top of each section with the IPC link included?) - Basement12 (T.C) 00:29, 5 May 2016 (UTC) The link is this one by the way - Basement12 (T.C) 00:31, 5 May 2016 (UTC)
Thanks, that is clearer. If this style has been accepted in GAs before, then there should be no issue here either. Sainsf (talk · contribs) 05:47, 5 May 2016 (UTC)
 I would recommend bullet list style in all the "management" sections, it would be easier to read and more orderly.  Done
Source(s) for these?
South Africa's first medal came from du Toit winning gold in the women's 100 m butterfly S9.  Done
The management teams  Done
The Equestrian section
Alright, that is the list. Sainsf <^>Feel at home 18:25, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

I have posted replies directly after the points above. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 07:11, 29 April 2016 (UTC)
Thanks for the response. This article is ready for promotion. Cheers, Sainsf (talk · contribs) 05:47, 5 May 2016 (UTC)
