Moved to mainspace by MrLinkinPark333 (talk). Self-nominated at 00:58, 23 May 2020 (UTC).
- Note: I moved it on May 22nd Eastern time but it was May 23rd UTC time with the DYK script. Also, if you require any of the newspaper articles that arent linked, I can clip them out if you need them. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 01:11, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
Hi MrLinkinPark333, review follows: article moved to main space 23 May; article exceeds 1,500 characters; article is well written and cited inline throughout to reliable sources; I didn't notice any overly close paraphrasing from the online sources; Happy to AGF on the offline sources but I have a couple of questions about the sources I could access:
- I couldn't find mention of "Mexico University" in the Sun Sentinel article and it doesn't seem to exist as an institution?
- I couldn't find any mention of Japan or Guatemala on the World Athletics page?
- All hooks are fine, mentioned in the article and backed up by the sources cited; a QPQ has been carried out. If you can look at the two sourcing issues I raised there should be no issues approving this one - Dumelow (talk) 07:06, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
- @Dumelow: I didn't use World Athletics for Japan and Guatemala, I used the ARRS page. As for Mexico University, I cited the wrong article from the same date and replaced it. Thanks for spotting that error! --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 17:12, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
