I know it's really hard to rephrase things but I have some close paraphrasing concerns with sentences like "In his first collegiate game, he had a 95-yard kickoff return for a touchdown." (source says "In his first-collegiate game, returned a kickoff 95 yards for a touchdown".) Could you tweak some of this? Keilana|Parlez ici 22:23, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
- New enough, long enough. The page only had 2 sources, though, so I added coverage from a variety of media sources to show notability. (I would appreciate being listed as co-creator of this article for DYK.) I don't see any close paraphrasing in the article. The hook ref is verified. However, I'm just wondering if this hook would be more attention-getting:
- ALT1: ... that in 2012, UCF wide receiver Quincy McDuffie set a school and Conference USA record by returning two kickoffs for touchdowns in the same game? Yoninah (talk) 22:58, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
Article is new enough and long enough. It is well referenced, thanks to Yoninah's efforts, so I have added him to the credits. Either hook would do as both have inline citations. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:08, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
