• Recently promoted good article, definitely long enough. Copyvio check produces some double-digit matches, but these happen to be his season statistics which can't really be written any other way. Original hook is definitely true according to the source but - and this might just be my opinion - it makes more sense if you mention this was because he had been out for a long time. ALT1 is fine if DYK admins are OK with combining two different elements together - I assume GF on Baltimore Sun source which I'm locked out of. ALT2 keeps it simple which I like the best, but again that's my personal choice. Unknown Temptation (talk) 20:25, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
