5x expanded by SusanLesch (talk). Self-nominated at 21:18, 26 August 2020 (UTC).
, SusanLesch, Hi, hope you are fine. Overall, the article is sourced and the hook is sourced as well, though not an article of news, it is kind of a summary of the career of this person, but anyway, it is OK. I'd like to ask for advice, since I'd approve this, but I need further help to understand what is "x5 expanded", I am not a bright guy to be honest lol. If that's addressed to me, then I'd have to approve of this nomination. My warmest wishes, I cherish you all. ^_^ CoryGlee (talk) 12:20, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
- Greetings, CoryGlee. Hope you are fine, too. x5 expanded means this is not a new article: When I started editing it was a short stub, and now it is five times longer (x5). That makes it eligible for Did you know.
- The DYK Reviewing Guide is pretty long but will answer many questions for reviewers. Or, optionally, when you click on "Edit" this page, a light green bar with a template appears that you can fill in. It might take some practice but it isn't hard to do, so wishing you good luck. -SusanLesch (talk) 14:04, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
Dear SusanLesch, thank you, I was counting like mathematics if it was five times larger and it is, it was much easier for me than to do complicated things. I am really hard to comprehend rules and it makes me grow frustrated easily. So I found my way LOL ^_^. I do now understand what it means and yes, it is a good article, perfectly sourced. Approved.

5x expansion from 581 bytes "readable prose size" to 3468 bytes verified. 5 × 581 = 2905 ≤ 3468. However I suspect the hook needs broadening for an international audience, to clarify that "women's high school class of 2016" refers only to the US, and only to women's high school basketball players. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:59, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
- David Eppstein, Hi David, yes, but it is clarified that it is women's basketball and it's easy to verify the country by simply checking the article, it would be like a promotion of the article for the readers. ^_^ . A big hug.CoryGlee (talk) 21:06, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
- David Eppstein Thank you, added "U.S." to ALT1. Do you really think we need to say among women's high school basketball players? Who else would be a point guard? Please edit ALT1 to suit yourself. -SusanLesch (talk) 02:52, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
- "...that among all 2016 US high school basketball players..." maybe? If you don't know basketball well, you may not know what a "point guard" is. It could easily be the name for an elected position in the school's student council. Or the person who makes sure that the younger kids get safely across the crosswalk. Sometimes leaving these things mysterious can lead to a more intriguing hook. And sometimes it just reads as "the person who wrote this hook cares about this subject too much to realize that things that are obvious to them are not obvious to other people." —David Eppstein (talk) 06:02, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
- I loved how I, the original reviewer, went completely unnoticed and unacknowledged for LOL ^_^, anyway. CoryGlee (talk) 12:20, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
- Hi CoryGlee. I think the idea here is to come up with the best hook we can. -SusanLesch (talk) 13:41, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
- David Eppstein, you're right thank you. I changed ALT 1. Please see what you think. -SusanLesch (talk) 13:19, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
- I would use US rather than U.S. but I don't think that matters much. Good to go based on the original full review, verification of 5x expansion, and improved hook. —David Eppstein (talk) 16:58, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
