All three articles created in userspace and moved to mainspace. All three sizeable and sourced, hook verified by sources. I think a slightly more interesting hook might incorporate the fact that this is a new event. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:39, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

ALT1... that Lucinda Whitty, Olivia Price and Nina Curtis became a team in 2011 when they heard the Elliott 6m boat would become an Olympic event?

Happy with alt hook. --LauraHale (talk) 20:08, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

I'm not quite happy with the ALT1 hook; it was confusing to this layman. The boat isn't itself an Olympic event, but the class of boat is required equipment for an Olympic sailing event. The fact about them becoming a team when the Elliott 6m class race was set as an Olympic event is based on the AOC source (ref 1) for Whitty; oddly, that same fact is not in Price's or Curtis's AOC pages, which explains why it's not in their articles. Is it okay that the hook fact isn't each of the articles of a multi-article hook? Perhaps change ALT1's "become" to "be used in" and "Olympic event" to "Olympic sailing event"?

ALT2... that Lucinda Whitty, Olivia Price and Nina Curtis became a team in 2011 when Whitty heard the Elliott 6m class would became an Olympic event?

Modified per BlueMoonset comments. New tick? --LauraHale (talk) 19:54, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

Actually, that source doesn't say that Whitty in particular heard it, what it says (not well) is: "The crew began competing in the Elliot 6m boat after it was announced that it would debut at the London 2012 Olympics." So it can't be ascribed to Whitty alone. I was just noting that the AOC should have mentioned it in all three of their bios. (I suppose it could be included in the other two women's articles by sourcing Whitty's AOC page.) Here's what I was going for:

I'm also good with that. At this point, I'd also be good with just saying they became a team in 2011. :) --LauraHale (talk) 20:42, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
