... that Julie Pomagalski earned a gold medal at the 1999 Snowboarding World Championships? Source from the FIS website

Comment: Expanded it as per a translation from the German article for Pomagalski. The "Early life" section of the article is very incomplete, so it might need a little bit more expansion too.

5x expanded by ActuallyNeverHappened02 (talk). Self-nominated at 00:34, 2 April 2021 (UTC).[reply]

WP:DYKSG suggests that A rule of thumb is one inline citation per paragraph, excluding the lead, plot summaries, and paragraphs which summarize other cited content. The article's Outside of sport section currently having no citations. Some statements in the Career section (and also other parts of the article) are also currently uncited, though these appear to be much more straightforward to reference. The nomination can only proceed when the sourcing issue has been dealt with. feminist (talk) 18:19, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- I think the issues you've mentioned have now been fixed for the most part. Also, here's another hook which could work:

ALT1: ... that Julie Pomagalski rose 20 places to 1st place at the Snowboarding World Championships in 3 years?

Please let me know if there are still any more problems. Thanks! Actually_NeverHappened02 (a place to chalk | a list of stuff i've done) 23:32, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Currently all remaining unsourced content in the article also appears in the Olympedia entry, though I have some doubts about the reliability of Olympedia in general. I've started a discussion at Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard#Olympedia and this nomination is pending the result of that discussion. feminist (talk) 13:19, 8 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

In the meanwhile, I changed that source to the New York Times, whose article mentions she was born in La Tronche. I will be adding a few more sources while I can. Actually_NeverHappened02 (a place to chalk | a list of stuff i've done) 14:57, 8 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

ALT2: ... that Julie Pomagalski rose 20 places to 1st place at the FIS Snowboard World Cup in 4 years?

Thank you feminist for pointing that out! Now fixed with ALT2. Actually_NeverHappened02 (a place to chalk | a list of stuff i've done) 18:15, 8 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

ALT3: ... that Julie Pomagalski rose 20 places to 1st place at the FIS Snowboard World Cup in 3 years?

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook eligibility:

Cited:
Interesting:
Other problems: - Correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't ALT1 refer to the FIS Snowboard World Cup rather than the Snowboarding World Championships?

QPQ: None required.

Overall: I can approve the first hook but ALT1 sounds more interesting. feminist (talk) 16:30, 8 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@ActuallyNeverHappened02: Regarding ALT2, shouldn't it still be 3 years? According to the source provided in the article, in the overall World Cup ranking, she got 8th in 2000, 21st in 2001, and 1st in 2004. feminist (talk) 18:15, 8 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Feminist: Technically, the 2001 season started somewhere between September and November of 2000 and ended in February or March 2001, as this is the usual schedule for the FIS World Cup, so technically that's 4 years, although if I've messed that up, that should probably be 3 years. Actually_NeverHappened02 (a place to chalk | a list of stuff i've done) 18:19, 8 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Feminist: Actually, it seems that you would be right anyways; it's end of 2000, so it counts 3.5 or 3.25. Alright, fixed in ALT3! Actually_NeverHappened02 (a place to chalk | a list of stuff i've done) 20:11, 8 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

for ALT3 and the main hook. feminist (talk) 01:54, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
