• Put a citation for his Chinese name and the pinyin translation. Olympedia
• Remove Howard Wing external link, it is already cited
• No copyvio, not ai generated either.
• Source 1 pass except below
• 2nd of source 2 does not verify much of that paragraph. put it by the claim "As a member of the club" and nothing else. unless you believe i have misinterpreted it, then tell me how it verifies the rest of the paragraph.
  • I'm guessing you mean the second mention of source 2? It does, for example the claim "They were coached by Guus Schilling at the Rijswijk cycling track." relies on source 2 heavily.
• "The Dutch Olympic Committee contacted the ambassador of China to the Netherlands at the time as the China National Amateur Athletic Federation was looking for European-based Chinese athletes to compete at the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin, Germany, for the nation."→"The Dutch Olympic Committee contacted the ambassador of China to the Netherlands. At the time, the China National Amateur Athletic Federation was looking for Europe-based Chinese athletes to compete for the nation at the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin."
• "He competed in the men's sprint event where"→"He competed in the men's sprint event, where"
• "sent to the hospital " → "hospitalized"
• "time trial race" link so you can WP:MTAU
• "His second Olympic Games were the 1948 Summer Olympics in London, United Kingdom, also in the men's sprint event" → "His second Olympic Games were the 1948 Summer Olympics, where he partook in the men's sprint event, in London, United Kingdom"
• "lacerations" link to this? it links to wounds but it is technically a bit different and more specific so maybe you could find a better link target
• source 3 pass
• "small margin" newpaper cited uses wide margin, i do think this is because howard was chinese but you can't change the size of a margin thats OR
• source 7 pass
• @Arconning: will pass after you resolve the issues I have mentiond so far
