General: Article is new enough and long enough

Policy compliance:

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: Yes
  • Interesting: Yes
  • Other problems: No - Reads as a bit clunky; I'd recommend altering to read "1993 hantavirus outbreak in the US" to cut down on repetition of "in"
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Article is new and long enough. Only issue I found is a minor comment about repetitiveness in the hook, which isn't too big of a deal, other than that both hooks are cited inline and I prefer ALT1 as it is more relatable and understandable to the average reader. Earwig is being uncooperative so I am AGF on copyvio/close paraphrasing for now, but I'll check that again when the comment above is addressed. Unrelated to the DYK review, but I'd be happy to (try to) help with the infobox if it's giving you trouble with anything in specific. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 22:00, 2 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Whispyhistory, we are good to go! The new hook is good (better, IMO, than what I originally suggested). Approving ALT1a for DYK; as for the infobox, I don't think it's too big of a deal - you cover that he was a cricketer in the article and I'm not sure that there would have too much more to add if there was a separate infobox for the physician side of him.
