• @Muboshgu: New, long enough, neutral, sourced, no apparent copyvios. Needs QPQ. --Usernameunique (talk) 09:07, 24 August 2017 (UTC)

• Muboshgu, friendly reminder that this nomination just needs a QPQ. Template:Did you know nominations/Una R. Winter still needs to be reviewed if you want a suggestion, as do some newer nominations. --Usernameunique (talk) 18:27, 5 September 2017 (UTC)

• Yes, thanks for the reminder. I'll pick one and review today. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:53, 5 September 2017 (UTC)

• Looks good! --Usernameunique (talk) 14:53, 6 September 2017 (UTC)

• @Muboshgu: The source says "Sunday marks the first regular-season professional contest of any sport that will be played on an active military base", which is slightly more specific than the suggested hook – it leaves open the possibility of a previous off-season professional game. Do you have another source for the broader claim? 97198 (talk) 12:30, 9 September 2017 (UTC)

• 97198 Thanks for catching that distinction. Propose:

• for ALT1, and I've struck the original hook. 97198 (talk) 02:17, 10 September 2017 (UTC)

• Thanks, that's a good correcetion. I changed "in-season" to "regular-season" for North American sport conventions. – Muboshgu (talk) 02:44, 11 September 2017 (UTC)
