Comment: Commonwealth Games entry, please review ASAP

5x expanded by Matty.007 (talk). Self nominated at 16:47, 28 July 2014 (UTC).

New enough, long enough, fully referenced. QPQ required. Hook is not in its reference Hawkeye7 (talk) 09:29, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

It's in #11 at the punctuation, but I quoted "gold medal hope" so referenced that. It was originally clearer, but I moved the ref directly after statement. QPQ forthcoming. Thanks, Mat ty.007 14:55, 29 July 2014 (UTC)
Hawkeye7: and doing QPQ at Template:Did you know nominations/Lythrurus ardens. Thanks, Matty.007 16:08, 29 July 2014 (UTC)
- Good to go then. Main and ALT1 both okay. Hawkeye7 (talk) 21:22, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

@Matty.007: She had tape applied to her nose during the semifinal but was it still there during the final? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:45, 1 August 2014 (UTC)

Alt 2: that Megan Fletcher won the 70kg women's judo at the 2014 Commonwealth Games despite being ranked 40 in the world? Thanks, Mat ty.007 07:06, 4 August 2014 (UTC)

Reinstating tick and going for ALT2 which has an inline citation. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:31, 4 August 2014 (UTC)

I have undone the promotion and removed this from the queue, as discussed at Wikipedia talk:Did you know#Template:Did you know nominations/Megan Fletcher. Basically, her position on the world rankings is utterly irrelevant to her performance at the Commonwealth Games, where most of the people ranked higher aren't allowed to compete anyway.

When approving the hook that had occurred to me. The hook is accurate but not ideal. How about:

ALT3 ... that Megan Fletcher won the 70kg women's judo at the 2014 Commonwealth Games despite having tape on her face during the semifinal? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 08:31, 5 August 2014 (UTC)

"tape on her face" sounds a bit "so what?" (despite getting a hair in her mouth; despite waving a fly away; despite her bra pinching a bit; actually those sound worse). It could be slightly more dramatic like so:

ALT4 ... that Megan Fletcher won the 70kg women's judo at the 2014 Commonwealth Games despite needing to have her face taped up during the semifinal? (that is supported by the source too) Belle (talk) 00:42, 6 August 2014 (UTC)

Let's go for ALT4 which is better phrased and well supported. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:12, 6 August 2014 (UTC)
