  • Currently doing a verifiable/neutrality review for this. For the criteria article was nominated a day after creation, well over 1,500 characters, Earwig gives 2.0% for copyvio (highly unlikely) and QPQ was provided. While the hook is cited, these citations don't specify it was the 2001 edition. I suggest swapping one of the sources to indicate this, as it started in 2000 and continued onwards in 2001. If I have any more comments in regards to verifibility/neutrality, I'll write under this comment. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 18:51, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Verification issues:

  • Google preview has various issues with the Canadian Dart Tournaments books. Even checking with UK/Canada, the preview:
    • doesn't confirm the name of the 1999 tournament that she won pairs and cricket pairs with Laurie Court was the Saskatoon Open. It only lists the winners.
    • doesn't have her 1999 Manitoba Open wins.
    • skips the doubles win at the 2000 London Open (only has singles)
    • might skip the doubles win at the 2000 Saskatchewan Open - (I see she won a doubles event with Kristin Hanson in 2000 but not sure if it's Saskatchewan).
I see you wiped all of this. You didn't have to. I know GBooks can be a pain. But in any sense.checkY

In terms of prose:


Close paraphrasing:

  • "sustained a shoulder injury and lost the endurance" - needs rewording as it's similar to the Darts World source.checkY

Neutrality:

  • "and the crowd positively received her play" - I don't think this part is needed as it's a bit promotional.checkY

Other issues that won't effect DYK but thought I should mention:

Overall, the main issue is verificiation. While some of it might be GBooks preview issues, there are some prose tweaks that are required. I also am not sure with some of the information provided in the infobox as it's not mentioned in the article. For minor issues, there is an instance of close paraphrasing and not neutral statement that'd need to be fixed. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 20:34, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
