Comment: This is a special event hook for November 23, which marks the game's 15th anniversary.

5x expanded by SounderBruce (talk). Self-nominated at 03:04, 16 November 2018 (UTC).

This is a fivefold expansion and is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. A QPQ has been done. I prefer ALT1 which is kinder to the individual concerned (BLP issue). Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:47, 18 November 2018 (UTC)
@Cwmhiraeth: Given that the anniversary passed without the hook running, can this one also run on December 9 with the other MLS Cup hooks? Sounder Bruce 03:57, 30 November 2018 (UTC)

I have moved it to the Special holding area for Dec 9th. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:18, 30 November 2018 (UTC)

Thanks. I'm actually thinking that the three (potentially four) hooks should be split between the two days so that the hookset isn't overwhelmed. If so, then 2002 and 2009 can run on December 8 and then 2003 (and 2018) would run on December 9. Sounder Bruce 06:24, 30 November 2018 (UTC)

Hi, I came by to promote ALT0 for December 8, but I don't see the hook fact about being scored by the same player in the article. The information listed under "Summary of Results" and "Details" also needs a citation. Yoninah (talk) 10:28, 2 December 2018 (UTC)

Note: This hook will be promoted at a later date per discussion at WT:DYK#MLS Cup: 4 hooks. Yoninah (talk) 17:09, 2 December 2018 (UTC)
@Yoninah: Normally, the summary tables and match details are not cited in soccer articles. The summary table should be covered in the prose above; sourcing the individual matches would make things pretty cluttered and hard to read. The match details are covered by the summary section and its sources.
As for the hook fact, I have added a sentence in the Post-match section that explicitly spells it out (using this source). Sounder Bruce 01:56, 3 December 2018 (UTC)

Thank you. Restoring tick per Cwmhiraeth's review. Yoninah (talk) 14:07, 3 December 2018 (UTC)
