~~... that German paracyclist Bernd Jeffré may have lost his 2010 Berlin Marathon race as he didn't wear enough clothes?~~ Source: [1] "Hätte er halt auf seine Frau gehört, dann wäre er jetzt möglicherweise Sieger. Aber nein, Bernd Jeffre musste ja den harten Burschen geben. "Zieh dir doch noch was an", hatte seine Frau am Start gesagt. Passt schon, erwiderte Jeffre. Tja, sagt Vico Merklein, "Bernd ist ein nordischer Typ. Er war wohl etwas zu leicht angezogen, sonst hätte er vermutlich gewonnen". ("If he had listened to his wife, then he might now be the winner. But no, Bernd Jeffre had to give the tough guy. "Put some clothes on," his wife said at the start. It's okay, Jeffre replied. Well, says Vico Merklein, "Bernd is a Nordic guy. He was probably a little too lightly dressed, otherwise he would probably have won"")

OK, it's new enough and long enough, and I see no signs of plagiarism. Joseph2302, can I suggest something for the hook? "...because he didn't listen to his wife and didn't wear enough clothes"? Drmies (talk) 18:50, 13 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'm fine with ALT1: ~~... that German paracyclist Bernd Jeffré may have lost his 2010 Berlin Marathon race because he didn't listen to his wife and didn't wear enough clothes?~~ Joseph2302 (talk) 10:31, 14 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Drmies IS ALT1 acceptable? Joseph2302 (talk) 09:27, 17 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Drmies (talk) 12:22, 17 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Very sorry to all concerned, but let us please have a hook without any contractions. Joseph2302 and Drmies, how does the following strike you:

ALT2: ... that German paracyclist Bernd Jeffré may have lost his 2010 Berlin Marathon race because he did not put on more clothes when his wife suggested it? —BlueMoonset (talk) 23:57, 18 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

BlueMoonset, if we're really concerned about contractions, let's just spell them out fully and keep ALT1. Personally--well.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Drmies (talk • contribs)

My suggestion to remove the "didn't"s would be:
ALT3: ... that German paracyclist Bernd Jeffré may have lost his 2010 Berlin Marathon race because he ignored his wife and did not wear enough clothes? Joseph2302 (talk) 08:34, 19 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

for ALT3. Again, I think this contraction thing is silly, but let's get Joseph's article on the front page. Drmies (talk) 13:07, 19 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
