Comment: I added an alternative hook since the American state is mentioned twice so it won't be classified as redundancy. Also, "home town" is combined since it's one word.

Overall: Good nomination hook, ~~added a comment about it (look above)~~, and no-unlikely violation from Earwig. Good job. — JuanGLP (talk/contribs) 02:55, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@JuanGLP, thank you, I prefer your hook so I have struck mine. Also, the reason for "unlikely" from Earwig is because the 22.5% similarity is coming from a quote in the "Career" section, properly enclosed in quotes and attributed via citation. Let me know if there's anything else I can do. Thanks, --Habst (talk) 17:40, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

To eliminate redundancy of the word "train", perhaps the last three words "to train on" could be removed? --Habst (talk) 17:42, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Habst, yep there is no problem with Earwig, good thing it's cited with adequate sourcing. Also, good eye for the redundancy part of "train" and have fixed the nominated hook. Just checked it off as approved, and congrats if promoted! — JuanGLP (talk/contribs) 23:02, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
