that Billy Fitzgerald finished second in a vote by Canadian writers that picked the best lacrosse player of the first half of the 20th century?Source: Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame
Created by Giants2008 (talk). Self-nominated at 02:32, 5 February 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Billy Fitzgerald (lacrosse); consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
ALT0 is incorrect (he was voted second best Canadian player) and excessively wordy. Suggested alt:
- ALT1: ... that a journalists' poll rated Billy Fitzgerald the second best Canadian lacrosse player of the first half of the 20th century? Gatoclass (talk) 09:49, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
- Can't believe I missed that in the source. Thanks for the catch; it's been fixed in the article now. ALT1 definitely looks better than the first blurb. Giants2008 (Talk) 02:16, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
Reviewer needed for ALT1. Gatoclass (talk) 12:45, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
- Actually, a full review is needed, because only the original hook has been reviewed here thus far. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 02:44, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
