• Article is new, long enough, and within policy... hook size is fine, but its content should be more interesting... QPQ done and image is licensed correctly. Runningibis (talk) 22:26, 6 September 2018 (UTC)

• @Hawkeye7: I have struck the hook as I don't see how being ranked #7 in the world is interesting to a broad audience. Perhaps something else more interesting abpout her life can be said? I see she's also participated in other sports: perhaps a hook about that could work instead? Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 01:38, 8 October 2018 (UTC)

• I thought it was unusual because she's primarily a basketball player. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 01:57, 8 October 2018 (UTC)
• I have unstruck the hook (diff), because I think it's adequately appealing to a broad enough audience. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 13:38, 8 October 2018 (UTC)

• I agree with North America, the hook is interesting, but I will propose the following: Flibirigit (talk) 22:59, 15 October 2018 (UTC)

ALT1:... that Puisand Lai (pictured) represented the Canada women's national wheelchair basketball team in 2018, and was also rated the world's seventh overall in girls' wheelchair tennis in 2017?

• I like ALT1. I usually remove "also" when copyediting but here, with a single sentence, the "also" gives a clear signal that it's talking about something new, that basketball and tennis are dissimilar sports. It looks to be just under 200 characters. @Runningibis: can you review ALT1? – Reidgreg (talk) 18:37, 19 October 2018 (UTC)

• Let's get this show on the road. ALT1 is verified. It's a bit awkward and wordy but I'll let it go as proposed. Hook is verified, and under 200 characters. (Stepping in because this has been here for almost two weeks.) Drmies (talk) 01:39, 2 November 2018 (UTC)
