  • Cheryl Hamilton, 2574 characters created by BeanieFan11 on March 17, 2024
    • Can we tigten up "turned one of the world's best gymnastics judges" to "turned Olympic games judge", which has a more encyclopedic and neutral tone (sources confirmed).
    • 18% copyvio result from quotation and Official terminology and names.
  • Kevin Tresolini, 2647 characters created by BeanieFan11 on March 21, 2024

    • 9.9% copyvio result all good.
  • Eric Cannon, 2496 characters created by BeanieFan11 on March 17, 2024
  • I am the Thomas Wilcher article creator. You have motivated me to dig up some NCAA results. Here are two indoor All-American (top 8) finishes: [2], [3].
  • Here is where to find the outdoor results: https://www.ustfccca.org/meets-results/meet-history?series=3369.
  • Gary Chelosky, 1942 characters created by BeanieFan11 on March 19, 2024

    • previously 1547 characters (required 7735 for 5x)
    • Source confirmed.
    • 18% copyvio result from quotation and Official terminology and names.
  • Cliff Brumbaugh, 14345 characters created by Deiz on June 8, 2007, expansion began 38 edits ago on March 24, 2024
    • previously 2143 characters (required 10715 for 5x)
    • The phrase "10 hits, four RBIs, two hits and one home run" can not be right.
    • This infobox could host more highlights, MVPs and All-league or All-start honrs.
      • Per the Del. Sports HOF, Brumbaugh was a five-time minor league all-star and four-time all-star in Asia; however, the years aren't mentioned. We know three of the minor league all-star selections (1995, 1999, 2010) – he also was MVP in at least 1995 and 2010. As for the Asian leagues, it seems we know 2003 and 2004, but the other years are less certain. We also know a bunch of honors from HS/college. What do you suggest?

    • Source confirmed.
    • 12.3% copyvio result from poor paraphrasing.

      • The date request window is 6 weeks, I believe. So you can only request dates within 6 weeks of the date that you nominate a hook. You can read further about special occaision requests at WP:DYKSO.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 20:03, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
        • Crap! I was never aware of that! And just two weeks off. Is it possible to IAR, something? One of the main reasons I nominated this was in hope that it could be set for that date... BeanieFan11 (talk) 20:06, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
          • It says exceptions to the six-week limit can be implemented by way of a local consensus at WT:DYK. I'll open a discussion about it once the reviewing is done. BeanieFan11 (talk) 20:09, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

All-American finishes

[edit]

The way the DYK seems to be closing, it is not clear where the All-American finish research will finish. I am putting these sources on the record to research his AA finishes:

  1. Here are two indoor All-American (top 8) finishes: [4], [5]
  2. Here are sources for outdoor NCAA results to find his other top 8 finishes https://www.ustfccca.org/meets-results/meet-history?series=3369. Note that during his era if you finished among top 8 Americans, you were considered All-American so some of his AAs may not be top 8 at the NCAAs.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 21:00, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
