Mokulubete Makatisi

... that Mokulubete Makatisi placed eighth at the Commonwealth Games in the marathon while running in shoes she had never worn before?

Source: Public Eye News ("Makatisi, 26, finished the race on position eight in the women’s commonwealth marathon last Saturday ... Makatisi’s mentor ... says his athlete has tried very hard despite the setback of having to run in new shoes which she began to use for the first time on the day of the race.")

Doing... ミラP@Miraclepine 15:45, 9 September 2024 (UTC)

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy compliance:

Adequate sourcing: - "She competed in the Maputo All-Africa Games in 2011" doesn't seem to be supported by ref 1, so use ref 2 for that (go to statistics -> results -> 2011). Page says 1:09:45 but ref 6 says 1:09:44. No other issues though.
Neutral:
Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook eligibility:

Cited:
Interesting: - Should clarify something like how late these shoes were and/or how much they're needed for running, but no other issues.

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Nom one week after creation and size 2330 B. Ref 4 ad 6 is broken, so I used [1] and [2]. @BeanieFan11: fix these issues and I'll approve. You may wanna update the article, but consider this optional. ミラP@Miraclepine 16:23, 9 September 2024 (UTC)

@Miraclepine: Oops, forgot I hadn't yet addressed these. I just made the changes and added a few updates. BeanieFan11 (talk) 02:10, 15 September 2024 (UTC)
- Wait, still have to clarify the hook... wait a minute. BeanieFan11 (talk) 02:12, 15 September 2024 (UTC)
  - Hmm... what do you think would be a good way to clarify in the hook? BeanieFan11 (talk) 02:15, 15 September 2024 (UTC)

@BeanieFan11: Either of my suggestions in the "Interesting" section are fine, but I cannot approve a hook if I submit it myself, so do use your judgment in determining what's the more interesting one. ミラP@Miraclepine 02:57, 15 September 2024 (UTC)

@BeanieFan11 and Miraclepine: Ping me if you need any hooks assessed.--Laun chba ller 10:11, 20 September 2024 (UTC)

@Launchballer: Since BeanieFan11 hasn't provided a hook in the past week, I guess I'll have to do it myself:

ALT1: ... that Mokulubete Makatisi placed eighth at the Commonwealth Games women's marathon despite running in new shoes she received late during the race? Ref: ALT0 + Athletics experts are convinced had she not received new running shoes late during the marathon, she was definitely going to put up a superb performance

Not gonna lie, this nom's gonna close just as late as these shoes. ミラP@Miraclepine 17:08, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for the alt – I was having trouble thinking of a good way to word that. BeanieFan11 (talk) 17:17, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

ALT1 is cited, interesting, and short enough. This could probably do with a longer lead, but this isn't required. Let's roll.--Laun chba ller 17:33, 23 September 2024 (UTC)
