I am reviewing this article. Here are the issues I found:

"In financial year 2012/13, the Australian Sports Commission" That's worded a little oddly to me. Is there a date they gave her the funds or is that as good as we can get?
- It's about as good as we can get. But I can tell you how it works. There are two funding periods per annum, July-December and January-June. Athletes are nominated by the national sporting organizations, which put in nominations in August for the July-December allocation. If all goes well, the athletes receive their money in November or early December. The exercise is then repeated for the January-June process.
What was her role in the Paralympics, or how did she do? Any stats to add even?
- Written a whole article on the Australia women's national wheelchair basketball team at the 2012 Summer Paralympics. I have plenty of statistics. I could add another table if you like. Hawkeye7 (talk) 02:48, 28 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
"The was enough to advance the Gliders to the quarter-finals" who are the Gliders? If that's the nickname for the Paralympic team, make that clearer.
- All Australian national sports teams have names. We don't call them the Australian women's national wheelchair basketball team; we call them the Gliders. The name comes from the sugar glider, a native animal. The boys are the Rollers, and their standing basketball equivalents are the Opals and Boomers. Added a comment and a reference.

My main issue is the length of the article. I know these aren't going to be all that long, but even compared to her teammates this is a really short article with very little in it. Even with just the sources you already use I'm sure you can add a bit more to the article.
- I've expanded the article, doubling it in size. Hawkeye7 (talk) 02:48, 28 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Article on hold, will take another look when the issues are fixed. Wizardman 16:01, 27 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good. Made a couple tweaks after another read though, and now I feel comfortable passing the article. Wizardman 20:16, 28 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
