Improved to Good Article status by BeanieFan11 (talk). Self-nominated at 21:10, 25 October 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Ron Monaco; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
New enough and long enough. QPQ pending, Beaniefan11. The quoted article uses "longest of the NFL long shots" in its headline, so that'll have to be rectified in hook fact. The details in the hook fact check out, though. Once QPQ and the actual headline quote are fixed, this will be ready. (Gonna leave a suggestion here: check the page numbers and replace sequential ones with the actual number-section, e.g. p. 45 to p. 1-D.) Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 06:46, 7 November 2023 (UTC)
