- Comment: I've added an ALT1, as I feel that the last part of the hook diminishes its impact. Edwardx (talk) 10:29, 12 June 2014 (UTC)
New enough (for 10 June) and long enough. QPQ done, although not necessary (thank you!) Re the original hook and ALT1, rugby sevens in the Olympics is referenced to offline citation #5 (but see issue below). The text is objective, neutral and fully cited. It would be nice to have a citation for "Signes retired from coaching 15s rugby in 2013 after serving as head coach to Princeton for 9 years, although he still works as a coaching consultant.", but this is not strictly necessary for DYK because the rest of the paragraph is referenced. No problem with disambig links. No problem with access to most external links (but see issue below). Spot checks did not reveal examples of potential copyvio or close paraphrasing. Issue: I cannot find a citation for the original hook which mentions Billups and Flores. Citation #10 (written next to these names) has two external links: one works but does not mention them;the other is a deadlink.Please either give a citation for the two names, or strike out the original hook. When this issue is resolved,this nom should be OK. --Storye book (talk) 16:22, 29 June 2014 (UTC)
Thank you, Wilhelmina Will. Issue resolved. Offline citation for ALT1 taken AGF. Good to go with ALT1. --Storye book (talk) 17:09, 29 June 2014 (UTC)
