Tyus Battle edit

Created by TonyTheTiger (talk). Self-nominated at 23:26, 12 May 2015 (UTC).

  • New (article created with a week of this nomination), long enough (at 3837 characters), and within policy (no close paraphrasing detected). The hook checks out, and the QPQ is valid. 23W 00:20, 10 June 2015 (UTC)
  • I'm afraid I've had to pull this from prep as I don't understand the hook - what does "gave USA Basketball the lead for good" mean? Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 11:25, 11 June 2015 (UTC)
  • It means gave the team a lead which they managed to retain until the end of the game. I also considered this term before promoting the hook. The fact is stated in the article and in the source. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 12:27, 11 June 2015 (UTC)
  • The source has several other facts that could give us a more interesting hook. How about
  • 23W, can you please check ALT1, and give it a tick if it meets with your approval? Many thanks. I've struck the original hook due to Ritchie333's objections. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:02, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
  • Whoops, didn't get the ping. Reads more accessibly, and is still cited. 23W 06:49, 27 June 2015 (UTC)
