Non-RS content

[edit]

this non-RS provides the post graduate information that I don't see other places yet: "...won many laurels during his nine years at Avondale Partners as a senior analyst in healthcare technology and other equities, has joined the faculty and coaching staff at Montgomery Bell Academy, where he'll teach mathematics and coach basketball. He was a stand-out Princeton roundball player -- at graduation in '92, he was Princeton's leading 3-point hitter with 235 treys (.469). Prior to joining Avondale in 2001, he was director and analyst with SunTrust Equitable and a decade ago (2000) he published the securities industries' first comprehensive research piece on Internet security. He several times won The Wall Street Journal's Best of the Street award, and was repeatedly highly ranked among software-sector analysts. Before SunTrust Equitable, Sean worked for Thornthwaite, the actuarial consultant. He earned his MBA at Kellogg, Northwestern; and, an engineering degree at Princeton..."-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 22:22, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Another Non-RS

[edit]

this source by Jon Solomon has elements that will not be included in this bio because Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard#Sean_Jackson_(basketball) confirms only Wikipedia:ABOUTSELF are eligible for main space. Some of the ABOUTSELF stuff rectifies the above discussion.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 16:18, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Created by TonyTheTiger (talk). Self-nominated at 05:45, 10 February 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Sean Jackson (basketball); consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

This is a peculiar date request. I was initially going to request this run on the date that Princeton's postseason game is to occur. However, it is looking like Princeton will not appear in either the 2024 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament or 2024 National Invitation Tournament. As a result, I will tentatively request March 16 to coincide with the 2024 Ivy League men's basketball tournament. But I would like to reserve the right to reevaluate the prospect following the games of March 2nd to say whether I would like to change to betting on a later date.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 05:54, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't know how the tiebreaker works so I am not sure which team has the NIT backup, but I am betting on Princeton playing in either the NCAA or NIT. This date request will be for whichever date that turns out to be.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 05:01, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Technically the article is not quite "new enough", as the nomination was submitted 8 days after creation, but we'll allow it. Long enough (8645 characters). Article is well sourced and is written neutrally (although in several places it reads like a long list of stats). The facts in the hook are explained with citations in the article. @TonyTheTiger:Two issues which I would like to see resolved before passing this nomination: 1) Could you make it more explicit within the "High school career" section, where you are talking about basketball specifically versus baseball? (As visual cues to any readers fact-checking the hook.) 2) Could you complete one additional QPQ, in light of the current emergency backlog situation?

  • Is that 8 days from the creation date or the move to main space date?-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 06:00, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sorry I didn't see that it was moved into mainspace one day later. (The DYK tool sometimes picks up the "move date" and sometimes doesn't, it seems.) For future it would be helpful if you could just add a note in the "Comment". Cielquiparle (talk) 07:39, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
