• The hook needs to be less speculative. Try the following:

• (ALT1')... that Kieran Govers, Simon Orchard, Robert Hammond, Nathan Burgers, Matthew Butturini, Kiel Brown, Joel Carroll, Mark Knowles, Fergus Kavanagh, Glenn Turner, Jason Wilson and Russell Ford are in training with the Australian field hockey team for the 2012 Olympics?--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 14:27, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

Is that acceptable?--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 22:01, 2 April 2012 (UTC)

• Replying on behalf of Laura, who has had something come up in real life. That looks appropriate, yes. Crisco 1492 (talk) 07:57, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
  • All articles pass for date, length and ref. Most were created by Laura. However, I find some of the DYKCheck details odd:
    1. How can Russell Ford and Mark Knowles (field hockey) be created in 2006 and moved from user space in 2012?--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 15:40, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
    2. Should Kiel Brown and Fergus Kavanagh have a similar histories? Were some userspace edits lost?--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 15:40, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
    • 1. Ford and Knowles apparently did have articles, but when Laura's user-space pages were moved Lankiveil did a history merge. Hence, the existing stubs show up in the history.
      2. Laura appears to have worked in user space (here and here) and then copy-pasted the new content to existing articles. A history merge would be preferable, but I don't think it's necessary with only one contributor. Crisco 1492 (talk) 03:10, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

      • admittedly not absolutely necessary. However, I'm the last guy who is going to pay attention to that history. If I let it go, I feel I am letting the history get erased for those pages by my choice. Please see if you can get the history merge done.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 03:15, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

        • • I've asked Lankiveil if s/he could do it, as s/he did the last history merges. Crisco 1492 (talk) 11:26, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
            • Keep me abreast of the progress.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 12:14, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
            • Also, if four of these are expansions, should they have different templates above than ((DYKmake)).--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 12:14, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
            • Finally, I count 12 articles here and only 10 QPQs.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 12:16, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
              • The templates are the same for expansions and creations. I'll get hopping on reviews after I finish writing Darah Muda Crisco 1492 (talk) 12:41, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

• Reviewed A Night to Remember (book) and William M. Gallagher

• All history mergers complete. Hopefully that's it. Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:43, 8 April 2012 (UTC)

• QPQs all done and as a bonus history merges too.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 02:33, 8 April 2012 (UTC)
