  • Comment: I decided to write a few hooks for a very notable sporting event that has recently took place; by the way, props to everyone who helped create and expand the draft article before its shift to the mainspace! I hope I've done a good job, and that my QPQ submission is appropriate...

Moved to mainspace by Queen of Hearts (talk) and Abhiramakella (talk).

Number of QPQs required: 1. Nominator has 17 past nominations.

Post-promotion hook changes will be logged on the talk page; consider watching the nomination until the hook appears on the Main Page.
