Allan du Toit

(

• Back to T:TDYK
• Article history

)

• ... that Allan du Toit wrote his first published book at age 15 and was the first non-United States officer to command multinational naval forces enforcing United Nations sanctions against Iraq?

• ALT1:... that Allan du Toit was 15 years old when he wrote his published book?
• ALT2:... that Allan du Toit was the first non-United States officer to command multinational naval forces enforcing United Nations sanctions against Iraq?
• Comment: I've included both facts I thought were interesting from the article and a hook which is just within the 200 character limit which includes both facts.

• Looks pretty good to me - perhaps a few extra citations for sentences required, but not essential. I like the first hook more, maybe with something to show what Allan du Toit is now, to show he's a bit more than a "child prodigy?" Mabalu (talk) 19:17, 24 April 2014 (UTC)
