(

)

... that Hockey Hall of Famer Wayne Gretzky won the Lionel Conacher Award as Canada's male athlete of the year a record six times and was named the nation's athlete of the century?

Hook: Short enough, interesting enough, cited.

Article: Long enough... but not long enough. You are short 65 chars. Referencing is nice. Images are PD. Paraphrasing seems fine.

Summary:

Hold for a bit. I'll probably give the article a boost myself.

I've given the article a 300 char boost. I would appreciate feedback from the nominator as to the worthiness of the addition before passing this. Crisco 1492 (talk) 07:15, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

I'll reword it a little, but otherwise a good addition. I'm curious though, where did I call 65 chars short? DYKcheck indicated no issues. Thanks! Reso lute 16:14, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

I can't say for sure, since DYK check showed length issues to me. You may have shortened the article doing fixes for the FLC. Crisco 1492 (talk) 16:22, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

Maybe. At any rate, I've reworded the passage, and even made it a tad longer. Hopefully good to go. Reso lute 16:58, 10 September 2011 (UTC)
