Talk:Emma Finucane

"Three gold medals" in opening paragraph

"At the 2024 Summer Olympics, she became the first British woman to win three gold medals at a single games since Mary Rand in 1964." - is this not inaccurate? One gold and 2 bronzes? 164.143.217.236 (talk) 06:23, 31 July 2025 (UTC)

Hi, I will have a review up within the next few days. -Riley1012 (talk) 23:50, 3 October 2025 (UTC)

Hi, thanks again for your time to do this review. Canary757 (talk) 07:24, 4 October 2025 (UTC)

Thank you Canary757, my review is below. -Riley1012 (talk) 18:56, 6 October 2025 (UTC)

Hi, all points fixed. MoS for results is standard - see Jason Kenny, Anna Meares, Katy Marchant, Jennifer Valente and Katie Archibald etc. Harrie Lavreysen has an additional graphic but this seems to be an exception and the format of the list is regular. Thanks. Canary757 (talk) 07:44, 7 October 2025 (UTC)

Okay, got it. Thanks for making the changes. -Riley1012 (talk) 11:14, 7 October 2025 (UTC)

Criteria marked are unassessed

1. Well-written

• At senior level, Finucane won two bronze medals for Wales... Add At the senior level,...
• ...and she started cycling aged eight at Carmarthen Velodrome... Add she started cycling at aged eight...
• Can the "Cycling career" heading be changed to "Senior cycling career" since there is a separate "Early life and junior career" section? Or maybe just move the junior career information into "Cycling career".
• ...which came in the 500 m time trial and keirin respectively. Add a comma before "respectively"
• ...Finucane became a national champion for the first time... Add clarification that this was her first senior national title.
• Victory marked the first time that Great Britain had won Olympic gold in the women's team sprint and Finucane called their success "unreal", adding "... Would make more sense if the sentence began with This victory..., and add commas after "and" and "adding"
• ...three medals in a single Olympic games since Mary Rand in 1964. Games should be capitalized here.
• In 2024, she lived in Bredbury, with fellow cyclist Jessica Roberts. Change this to say As of 2024, she lives in Bredbury...
• Is there a table that could be used for the "Major results" section? Or is this the standard format for cycling articles?

2. Verifiable
The article uses reliable sources. Earwig's does not show any obvious copyright violations. Spot check for copyright and original research: 5, 11, 16, 25, 37, 44 - all good.

• Add more information to source 46 like the website name, retrieval date, etc.

3. Broad
The article covers the major aspects of her life and career thus far without unnecessary detail.

4. Neutral
This article is neutral in its tone and properly attributes quotes.

5. Stable
I have looked through the talk page and edit history and do not see any ongoing content disputes.

6. Illustrated
The one image is tagged with its copyright status, is relevant, and has a suitable caption.

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook eligibility:

• Cited:
• Interesting:
• Other problems: - The current wording leaves something to be desired, in my opinion. I suggest a wording such as:
  • ALT0a' ... that Emma Finucane (pictured) recently became the first British woman in sixty years to win three medals at a single Olympic games?

Image: Image is freely licensed, used in the article, and clear at 100px.

QPQ: Done.

Overall: @Canary757 and Launchballer: Congrats on the GA. The hook fact is good to go, but I think the wording of the hook can be improved a bit; I've suggested an alternate wording above. Epicgenius (talk) 14:03, 10 October 2025 (UTC)

Fine by me. Your ALT introduces no new information and thus you're able to approve it yourself.--Launchballer 14:23, 10 October 2025 (UTC)

Good to go. Epicgenius (talk) 15:33, 10 October 2025 (UTC)
