General: Article is new enough and long enough

Policy compliance:

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: No - ?
  • Interesting: No - ?
QPQ: None required.

Overall: Article is long enough and new enough. This is the second of four outstanding DYK nominations for this user with no DYK credits yet, therefore QPQ is not required. The name's pronunciation needs to be converted into an {{IPA}} template. Birthplace and citation need to be moved out of the opening sentence as per MOS:LEADBIO. The citation as a club owner from the lead section should be moved to the similar sentence in the Personal Life section. The first paragraph of the career section needs a citation at its end, instead of in the middle of a sentence. Each line in the achievement section should have a citation, even if it's the same citation as in the main text. In the Mosconi Cup section the word "aggreved" appears, and I am unsure if it should be aggrieved or aggravated. No plagiarism issues found. ALT0 is correct as per the cited hook, but it is not directly mentioned in the article. ALT1 cannot be verified as the link does not go to the target. Flibirigit (talk) 23:31, 31 January 2019 (UTC)

  • Hi Flibirigit, I've made a few changes, and I believe I have fixed all of your concerns (Apart from the IPA template, which I'm not familiar with, and will attempt to learn some more information about. ALT0 is in the artictle under slightly altered wording - "After not regaining his place on the team in 2006, Chamat continued to play professionally, however in 2015, he took over as captain for the European team".Lee Vilenski (talkcontribs) 09:00, 1 February 2019 (UTC)
The citations are much improved with the changes. Thank you for requesting the IPA help as well. I have moved the birthplace citation into the prose as per the manual of style. I neglected to mention the mention to cite nis nickname previously. Sorry for missing that earlier. The introduction says "Little Napolean", but the infobox says "Napolean", and neither are mentioned anywhere in the prose. I suggest adding the citation to the prose, then summarize in the introduction/infobox. The wording for ALT0 needs to be more similar in the hook and the prose. The present wording is unclear whether he became became captain at or after the Mosconi Cup in 2015. Please make sure to use the same wording in both the hook and the prose, to avoid it being mentioned at WP:ERRORS. Also, did you find a citation for ALT1? Thanks.

"little Nepolean" is a bit of a misnomer, I've sourced and changed this. I've made a change to ALT0, which makes this pretty clear. This citation [1] comments on him appearing 10 times. Hope that's what you needed. Lee Vilenski (talkcontribs) 15:27, 1 February 2019 (UTC)
Thank you for adding citations for the nickname, but it created two citation errors. Cite #27 has incomplete data for the PDF file such as the title, and Cite # 13 has two different definitons. Please see the error messages in the References section. The citation you provided for ALT1 [2] needs to be put into the article at the appropriate place. Thanks for the wording change on ALT0.

Hi Flibirigit - Issues corrected on the article. Lee Vilenski (talkcontribs) 22:23, 2 February 2019 (UTC)
Citation and sourcing errors have been fixed. Hooks are now mentioned in the article with similar verbage, and verified in the attached citations. Thanks. Flibirigit (talk) 04:38, 3 February 2019 (UTC)
