Doing... ミラP@Miraclepine 15:45, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy compliance:

Adequate sourcing: - "She competed in the Maputo All-Africa Games in 2011" doesn't seem to be supported by ref 1, so use ref 2 for that (go to statistics -> results -> 2011). Page says 1:09:45 but ref 6 says 1:09:44. No other issues though.
Neutral:
Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook eligibility:

Cited:
Interesting: - Should clarify something like how late these shoes were and/or how much they're needed for running, but no other issues.

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Nom one week after creation and size 2330 B. Ref 4 ad 6 is broken, so I used [1] and [2]. @BeanieFan11: fix these issues and I'll approve. You may wanna update the article, but consider this optional. ミラP@Miraclepine 16:23, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Miraclepine: Oops, forgot I hadn't yet addressed these. I just made the changes and added a few updates. BeanieFan11 (talk) 02:10, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Wait, still have to clarify the hook... wait a minute. BeanieFan11 (talk) 02:12, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  - Hmm... what do you think would be a good way to clarify in the hook? BeanieFan11 (talk) 02:15, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@BeanieFan11: Either of my suggestions in the "Interesting" section are fine, but I cannot approve a hook if I submit it myself, so do use your judgment in determining what's the more interesting one. ミラP@Miraclepine 02:57, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@BeanieFan11 and Miraclepine: Ping me if you need any hooks assessed.--Laun chba ller 10:11, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Launchballer: Since BeanieFan11 hasn't provided a hook in the past week, I guess I'll have to do it myself:

ALT1: ... that Mokulubete Makatisi placed eighth at the Commonwealth Games women's marathon despite running in new shoes she received late during the race? Ref: ALT0 + Athletics experts are convinced had she not received new running shoes late during the marathon, she was definitely going to put up a superb performance

Not gonna lie, this nom's gonna close just as late as these shoes. ミラP@Miraclepine 17:08, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the alt – I was having trouble thinking of a good way to word that. BeanieFan11 (talk) 17:17, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

ALT1 is cited, interesting, and short enough. This could probably do with a longer lead, but this isn't required. Let's roll.--Laun chba ller 17:33, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
