• ... that in 1996 under Ransford Goodluck, Guyana became the first Caribbean Rifle Team to beat a Great Britain Touring Team?

• Source: "Mr. Goodluck won the individual competition over three days beating the world renowned the late Andrew Tucker into second. This was followed up with the hosting of the Caribbean championship 1996 in Jamaica. The Guyana team was led to an unprecedented long range victory over GB, Canada and the Caribbean teams at Twittingham park, the first by any Caribbean team. To date, this still stands as our most outstanding team achievement"

• Hi, I'll be reviewing this one. APK hi :-) (talk) 15:51, 28 June 2026 (UTC)
• I went ahead and made some minor edits. Category:Guyanese sport shooters needs to be created and Category:CS1 maint: url-status needs to be addressed. The article is new enough, long enough, and Earwig doesn't show any copyvio issues. I'll be taking a deeper look at the references. APK hi :-) (talk) 16:17, 28 June 2026 (UTC)

Thankyou, category created and error fixed I think. Hemmers (talk) 08:49, 1 July 2026 (UTC)

• In the lede "famous victory" is used. I don't see anything in the body of the article saying it was famous or who is claiming it was famous. Spot checking sources: #2, #4, #5, #8, and Obit #3 look good. Regarding the last source, maybe it should be included after the mentioning of Goodluck's death he was called a "sports icon". The hook is sourced and interesting. APK hi :-) (talk) 16:51, 28 June 2026 (UTC)

Changed "famous" to "noted victory", which is more defensible language since it is noted in the sources. Added a line after his death with that "sporting icon" source.Hemmers (talk) 08:49, 1 July 2026 (UTC)
