  • Hi Hawkeye7, review follows: article moved to mainspace 4 September; By my count (1482) it is marginally below the minimum length for DYK, though this could be readily remedied; article is well written and cited inline throughout to reliable sources; image is freely licensed by uploader and works well at 100px; hook fact is interesting, cited in the article and checks out to the French language source. A teeny bit of expansion of the article and this one should be good to go - Dumelow (talk) 15:46, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
    Done. Now at 1,593 characters. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 19:53, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
Thanks Hawkeye7. One query I have is should the article be at Élodie Tessier (with the accent)? - Dumelow (talk) 20:05, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
After reading WP:TITLESPECIALCHARACTERS a few times, I decided to do so. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 20:16, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
  • Comment: Would dropping "wheelchair" from the hook be considered misleading the reader? I think it'd make for a rather interesting hook. --Paul_012 (talk) 17:43, 16 September 2018 (UTC)
  • I love misleading hooks. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 21:28, 16 September 2018 (UTC)
    • I recommend not dropping wheelchair from the hook because this is about a wheelchair basketball athlete, not a basketball athlete - two different sports. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 17:39, 28 September 2018 (UTC)
      • Not according to FIBA, which regards it as a different event in the same sport. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 22:02, 28 September 2018 (UTC)
  • Can we run this as an April Fools hook?

  •  Done Moved to April Fools holding area. Yoninah (talk) 20:10, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
  • It has more impact if you don't rub the reader's nose in it by saying "only":
    ALT2: ... that Canadian national basketball player Élodie Tessier is 3 feet 11 inches (1.19 m) tall?

  • Thanks, EEng. Restoring tick for ALT2 per Dumelow's review. Yoninah (talk) 00:46, 16 October 2018 (UTC)
You'll get my bill. EEng 01:38, 16 October 2018 (UTC)
Promoting this now as it is a long time till April Fools Day and it will do very well in the quirky spot. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:18, 19 October 2018 (UTC)
