- Torch relay seems to be a disambiguation page; Olympic torch relay is not linked in the lead.
- Similarly could the link to the 1936 Summer Olympics torch relay be incorporated into the text?
- Could you mention the total relay length and the number of torch bearers? The information is stated in List of Olympic torch relays.
- The problem is that the numbers don't really add up - that article claims 7,870 kms with 3,372 torchholders - but the official report states that the planned (unfortunatly it doesn't include the actual final numbers as the route was changed slightly, which should keep the same length but reduce the number of torchholders) and the numbers there are 3,160 kms and 1,531 stages - so I'm not sure how those numbers have almost doubled in the list. There is a full breakdown table in the report on what was planned, but I wasn't sure if copyright would allow me simply to directly replicate the table in the article.

- Managed to find the appropriate policy by accident - Wikipedia:Plagiarism basically says that as long as it's cited, and is given appropriate in-text attribution, then it can be used. Therefore, I'll add this table to the article once I'm back on my home computer tonight.Miyagawa (talk) 11:48, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

- As information on Wikipedia should be referenced, plagiarism should not be an issue. Copyright issues are avoided here since all of the information contained in the table is factual. Copyright is a matter of presentation and creativity, while factual information is not subject to copyright. Arsenikk (talk) 19:36, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
- Is there some article that could be linked to to create context for Greece's instability?
- Found it - linked to Greek Civil War in the lead and again in the body of the article. Miyagawa (talk) 21:37, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
- Names of people should be without honorific soup, i.e. Commander F.W. Collins, RN (Rtd) should be F. W. Collins, unless the position is directly relevant in the context (which it is not in this case).
- Image licenses check out good.
Congratulations with a good article. Nice prelude to this summer's Olympics? Arsenikk (talk) 19:36, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
