Hey! I will be reviewing this too! As usual well done - this is a great article with no big concerns and no copyright violations on earwig. I only have the following comments to help readers:

1.) Could you please clarify "were the favourites going into the event"? No worries if not

2.) Background - "was the defending Olympic champion" - What does this mean?

3.) Background - "had swum faster since" - Can this be expanded upon (e.g. where/when did she swim faster)? No big deal if not

4.) If you could do the same thing with "heats" as the other GAs that would really help the article :)

5.) Semifinals - "Masse and Smith also qualified" - Can this be expanded upon slightly perhaps?

6.) Final - "McKeown's Olympic record beat Missy Franklin's" - I think it would help if you added which country Franklin had represented, though if you do not think so then no worries :)

Once these have been addressed I will do a source spotcheck and pass the article :) DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 04:36, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello again @DaniloDaysOfOurLives, once again thank you for the review! I made the following changes:

1) Changed to "favourites to win the event" – What do you think?

2) Changed to "was the winner at the previous Olympics". This is something I might need to change in all the articles in this topic.

3) Added the competition she swam it at

4) Yes, I plan to do this sometime in the next few days, along with some other improvements I need to make to all the ones in the topic. I get so bored doing minor changes to every article aha

5) Expanded to make "Masse and Smith also qualified in fifth and sixth, respectively".

6) Added IAWW (talk) 15:36, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@It is a wonderful world: Thank you so much for your changes! I am satisfied with them. Regarding #2 and #4, I empathise that it is tedious making minor changes to every page! I have Spotchecked sources #4, #13, #10 and #16. I think that Source #10 is a mistake as it is talking about the men's race... Could you please fix this and quickly check that all the other sources are correct too? DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 18:09, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes it was an error. I forgot to replace that citation when I copied that text from the other article. Good catch, fixed now. I believe all the other sources should be correct. IAWW (talk) 18:31, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! I am hence passing the article... Well done! :) DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 18:33, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Lead trimmed to align with MOS:LEDE and encyclopedic focus

Prevously article mentioned lap count and pool length, despite you only need to mention discipline and distance and that's sufficient enough to know what the race is. I trimmed the excessive filler details from lead per MOS:LEDE to better summarize key points. Similar issue was already raised earlier with a resolution formed: resolved talk on MOS.
