Created/expanded by Muboshgu (talk), 24.18.30.66 (talk). Self nom at 18:23, 10 June 2012 (UTC)

  • Expansion of the article is 4.5 (rounded to the nearest tenth), and I'm not sure if it counts as 5X. However, bare URLs are discouraged. Probably Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners needs to be acknowledged if you haven't known how referencing is done. --George Ho (talk) 18:36, 10 June 2012 (UTC)
  • Article was at ~200 characters on June 4, and is over 1700 now, so I'm not sure why you think it's less than a 5x expansion. Bare url's are converted. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:39, 10 June 2012 (UTC)
  • From main rules: "Former redirects, stubs, and other articles in which the prose portion has been expanded fivefold or more within the past five days are also acceptable as "new" articles". June 4 would be the sixth day under June 10 log, and that's all I can say. On the other hand, what if I can move this nomination page to June 8 then, which started as a tiny expansion by IP editor, so June 4 would be the fourth day? Would that be easier? --George Ho (talk) 18:59, 10 June 2012 (UTC)
  • ... Oops, my mistake, "within the past five days" means June 6–10. June 5 is the sixth; June 4 is seventh. If moved to June 8 log, then June 4 is the fifth day prior, and June 10 is the third (or second) thereafter June 8... right? --George Ho (talk) 19:12, 10 June 2012 (UTC)
  • ... Oops, double mistake. "within the past five days" means June 10-15, not prior. There's no excuse for that... unless the mistake is minor. Anyway, I just calculated between June 9 and June 10 revisions, and I must say that June 4... well, there would have been no editing on June 8 or June 9, unless any other reviewer disagrees. If the article were an unreferenced BLP, then it would have passed 2X. The revisions between June 4 and 9 had just one reliable, and that's it. Maybe if this nom page would be moved to June 8 log, "five days" would mean June 8-12. What do you think? --George Ho (talk) 19:34, 10 June 2012 (UTC)
  • Oh, now I understand what you mean. My interpretation of the 5x in 5 days rule was that the expansion started on June 8 with this edit, and that encompassing the expansion that began with that edit, the article has been more than 5x expanded in the last three days. I'll add some more material now so that my content alone is a 5x expansion counting today's edits alone. I was just in a rush to leave when I posted the nom. – Muboshgu (talk) 21:06, 10 June 2012 (UTC)
  • Wait. Either that, or I can move this nomination to June 8, the start of expansion, and then I can credit the IP for teeny-tiny expansion.... if the rule allows it. --George Ho (talk) 21:09, 10 June 2012 (UTC)
  • Either way. You can credit the IP. – Muboshgu (talk) 21:27, 10 June 2012 (UTC)

I have moved the nom page to June 8 and credited the IP editor as part of expansion. --George Ho (talk) 22:01, 10 June 2012 (UTC)

  • QPQ performed. Should be ready to go on all counts. – Muboshgu (talk) 01:04, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
Done some citation cleanups. Some inline references are needed, but I see that one of external links verify his education history. I wonder if it is reliable under WP:RS. --George Ho (talk) 01:34, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
Those items were covered by the external links, which are reliable sources. No matter, now I added inline citations. – Muboshgu (talk) 02:24, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
So far, I have checked all references, and all have passed and have verified this person's baseball record, especially with some cleanup I've done to verify it. Nevertheless, FN#1 is inaccessible, as purchase is required. Do you have full access to this article accessible in your browser? If so, does the source say he was in "Friendship Christian High School"? Moreover, I've wikified "won" with a link to win (baseball), so no worries. And I like ALT 1 more than original hook. --George Ho (talk) 02:47, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
When I did a Google News search of "Stephen Pryor" and "Friendship Christian", I got this...
Spring Fling baseball: Huntingdon rolls past FCS

MURFREESBORO - Friendship Christian's starting pitcher Stephen Pryor and right fielder Cody Searcey got lost in traffic and arrived late. Huntingdon's players ...
The Chattanoogan source clearly says he went to Friendship Christian, though. Thanks for the wikify. – Muboshgu (talk) 05:25, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
Both hooks are verifiable, but I like ALT 1 more. All sources are reliable, and all entries are well-sourced. A good to go. --George Ho (talk) 05:31, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
