Improved to Good Article status by Riley1012 (talk). Self-nominated at 22:36, 11 March 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Max Whitlock; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
- AT1 does not check out, as Miroslav Cerar also has two Olympic golds and three world championships on the pommel horse as well. Schwede66 14:33, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
- I've added a 2nd QPQ per the backlog rule. I also changed ALT1 after looking into it further based on the comments above. I should've been more specific that Whitlock is the most successful on pommel horse at the Olympics with two gold and a bronze (while Cerar only has two gold). -Riley1012 (talk) 21:13, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
I wondered why all the citations in the lead, WP:LEADCITE. Probably leave them there until after the DYK since we need citations at end of sentence for the hook. The article became a good article on March 11 and was nominated the samer day so it qualifies for DYK. I do not find evidence of plagiarism and the article is neutral. The two qpqs are completed and the image offered here is correctly licensed, clear at this resolution and free. ALT0 is supported by a citation which says, "most successful British male artistic gymnast" I am not sure why the word "artistic" is used and wonder if ALT0 is missing that specificity. So I confirmed ATL1 as interesting and if a promotor can figure out that I have misunderstood gymnastics and what "artistic" means they can use ALT0. Bruxton (talk) 14:52, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Bruxton: Artistic gymnastics refers to the specific discipline of gymnastics, as opposed to rhythmic gymnastics or non-Olympic disciplines like acrobatic gymnastics. There are other sources (1, 2, 3) that say specifically he's the most successful/decorated British gymnast (implying in any discipline). -Riley1012 (talk) 20:56, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
