Adam Peaty[edit]

Created by Matty.007 (talk). Self nominated at 19:50, 28 July 2014 (UTC).

  • I don't see the cite for the upcoming race. EEng (talk) 21:14, 28 July 2014 (UTC)
  • (ec)
  • New enough, long enough, adequately referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. Hook ref is verified and cited inline. QPQ done (or another one on its way). Two questions: Why is the link in the hook sourced to the 100m breaststroke and not Swimming at the 2014 Commonwealth Games – Men's 200 metre breaststroke? I also don't understand how the information in footnote 4 lines up with the 3rd line in the second paragraph under Swimming Career. Yoninah (talk) 21:18, 28 July 2014 (UTC)
I was just about to raise the question about 200 vs 100 -- looks like he won the 100. But I still don't see what says he's going to be in tmw's race. Since we're in a hurry, please name the source and quote it here. EEng (talk) 21:20, 28 July 2014 (UTC)
I corrected other mistakes in the article; maybe it was written in a hurry. Yoninah (talk) 21:21, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

This is the original hook with the apparent 100 / 200 problem corrected.

However as of now I don't see a source in the article for the "competes today".

This is an alt that drops the "competes today":

  • ALT1 is verified and cited inline. If we want to get this into prep ASAP, let's run with it. Yoninah (talk) 21:31, 28 July 2014 (UTC)
If it goes into prep4 it will appear first thing in the morning in Glasgow, if I'm reading things right. Because of the hurry I'm asking on TDYK for a 3rd editor to check us and make the move to prep. EEng (talk) 21:43, 28 July 2014 (UTC)
It's fine (but I've already battled with a citation template, so I'm not going to attempt my first ever move to prep) Belle (talk) 00:21, 29 July 2014 (UTC)
UN peacekeepers have been placed on alert. Hey, want to go airgonating? EEng (talk) 00:25, 29 July 2014 (UTC)
Like all right-thinking Citoyennes I would be concerned about the moral implications of a man and woman being alone in a balloon together. Belle (talk) 00:37, 29 July 2014 (UTC)
