New enough and long enough. Nominator is QPQ exempt. ALT0 checks out, as does ALT1. I strongly prefer ALT0 over the weird "removal of staff" phrasing at ALT1. No textual issues. Good to go. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 22:25, 30 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
ALT0a: ... that Dominic Keegan turned down a spot on the New York Yankees, instead choosing to "go back and win another championship" for his college baseball team?
This preserves the Keegan quote, adds "which team he was drafted by", and explains which college team he remains with for those unfamiliar with Keegan or Vanderbilt. Thanks, NotReallySoroka (talk) 21:20, 1 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@NotReallySoroka: well, it's good, but the problem would be that it's at 197 characters – while that is under the 200-character limit, part of my job as prepper is to ask which details need to be in the hook, which add good colour, and which can be trimmed out. It seems to me that the New York Yankees should go in, as they're a world-renowned and very recognizable baseball team; the quote adds good colour, so I like it; but linking to the draft doesn't seem necessary to me, nor does mentioning the team he remained with. They do add good context, but I'm not sure how they'd make the reader more likely to click. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 21:24, 1 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
ALT0d: ... that Dominic Keegan refused a position on the New York Yankees to "go back and win another championship" for his college baseball team?
I changed “turned down” to the more direct and shorter “refused”. I hope this is succinct for DYK, and fits your suggestions. Thanks again, NotReallySoroka (talk) 21:38, 1 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
