• @Arconning: New enough (expanded Jun 22), long enough, well-sourced, no copyvio (Earwig says 0.0%). However, this expansion does not appear to be long enough: 933 B → 2914 B is less than 5x. If this can be expanded to 4665 B, it will be acceptable. Hooks interested and verified in source (using machine translation). If ALT0 runs, I would probably specify "Sofia, Bulgaria" to be understandable by geographically-unaware readers. — Vigilant Cosmic Penguin 🐧 (talk | contribs) 19:26, 13 July 2025 (UTC)

    • Article is now GA. Approved. — Vigilant Cosmic Penguin 🐧 (talk | contribs) 16:11, 22 July 2025 (UTC)

Comments

• Шарл Шампо, Sharl Shampov, and Charles Champoff are currently unsourced in the article. I see that Ref 5 mentions his Bulgarian name.
  • Cited in infobox.
• Have you maybe had a look at Bulgarian newspapers online (if any are available)?
  • Most don't have any other substantial information besides the one included in the article already.
• How did you conclude that Ref 1 (SEGA) was a reliable source? The rest look okay to me.
  • I can see they've partnered with Deutsche Welle... the site has been published as a newspaper for some years in Bulgaria but is now entirely online as of 2022.
• Image is properly licensed.
• Prose looks okay.
• Spotchecked Ref 1, 3, 4, 6, 8 – all look good.
• From Ref 1 maybe we could include the following information:

• Here is what Todor Yonchev says about Charles Champeau's performance: "The headman Champo appeared at the stadium and amazed the spectators with several selected physical exercises in a competition with 17 competitors from 5 countries."

• I haven't added this, considering spectators did go to sports events to be amazed I wouldn't consider it substantial enough to be added.

• The participation in Athens brought Charles Champeau considerable fame in our country and the Bulgarian people even began to call him Charles Champov.

• Added.

• According to our great sports historian Prof. Raina Bardareva, who years ago did a thorough research, there is evidence that Champot represented our country in Athens 1896.

• Worded somehow.
