Hi, I will be reviewing this against the GA criteria as part of a GAN sweep. I'll leave some comments soon. JAGUAR 17:38, 25 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This article's attention to detail is impressive. I couldn't find any issues relating to its prose or sources. It is well written and comprehensive so it meets the GA criteria. JAGUAR 14:22, 27 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose for now - the board prize medals are missing! First place on each board is given in the article, but in fact medals were awarded for 1st, 2nd and 3rd on each board.[1] It's also not referenced how those medals are awarded. This is one of the most important awards for the event, and quite a startling omission. Adpete (talk) 00:05, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I mean, obviously I can fix that myself, and I probably will. But I wanted to highlight how a GA review can miss the obvious. Adpete (talk) 00:17, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Adpete: Please pay attention that this is the main article about the event with summary of the results. The information you're referring to can be found in the articles on the open and women's event, respectively. I really don't think there is that much necessity on including a greater level of detail in the main article.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 18:53, 9 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Teams[edit]

Current text: "The number of registered teams set a record of 180 teams representing 175 countries, however 10 of these did not arrive so the actual participation was 170 teams. The women's event was contested by 142 teams from 138 countries, leaving 38 teams from 37 countries participating in the open event only."

Why is not mentioned in the text how many actual participating teams (134) were in the women's event?
