Considering this is one of Wiki's earliest FAs, it has held up remarkably well, and has even improved over the promoted version (unlike many of the older FAs, which have deteriorated). Unfortunately, it's lacking inline citations. The article is in such good shape that it should be possible to avoid a [[WP:FAR|featured article review]] if citations could be provided. I'll check back in later. [[User:SandyGeorgia|Sandy<span style="color:green;">Georgia</span>]] ([[User talk:SandyGeorgia|Talk]]) 16:37, 29 July 2007 (UTC) |

:Funny you should mention footnotes, which was a big gripe in the article's [[Wikipedia:Featured article removal candidates/Chariot racing|FARC]]. I put a sour comment on the little gremlins in the FARC. My attitude toward footnotes has mellowed a little, though I still think they're often not necessary and always not beautiful. But just to get people off my back, I'll often add the little bugs. The problem with this article is that the original author does not seem to have the references available to him for those famous "inline citations." This is no problem for me, but the current mania for footnotes put the article on FARC in the first place. [[User:Casey Abell|Casey Abell]] 13:39, 30 July 2007 (UTC) |

::I think I still have some of the books, but I wrote this a few years ago now, when Wikipedia was a much different place, and I was younger and dumber. I'm sure there is a lot more that can be said about chariot racing; I am not a classicist and I am not as familiar with the sources as I would like to be in order to add citations or more sources. I don't have the time or the inclination to add citations for the sources I did use, and if this becomes de-featured it would cause me no great distress...

The last paragraph of "Olympic games" could be very much improved by an account of the chariot.

- No, they copied it from us. They don't say so specifically, although they do cite the GFDL, so I don't know if it is a problem. Adam Bishop 02:47, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
