... that Ray Walsh's tennis playing style was "murderous"? Source: Fordham Rams ("A fierce competitor, Walsh liked to run around using his backhand and possessed a swooping forehand described by contemporaries as 'murderous'.")
- Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Ernie Shore

Moved to mainspace by BeanieFan11 (talk). Self-nominated at 19:54, 6 March 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Ray Walsh; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

Or: ALT1 ... that football executive Ray Walsh was also a "murderous" tennis player? BeanieFan11 (talk) 19:55, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Article is new and long enough. Sourcing looks good, Earwig checks out (only flagged bit is a direct quote that is attributed). Both hooks are interesting and cited inline; I prefer ALT1 personally. Wording might need some tweaking since the Fordham website says his forehand was "murderous", not necessarily his playing style. No image so that is N/A. Since we're in unreviewed backlog mode, two QPQs will be needed because you've got over 20 DYK credits. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 21:33, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  - Where was it decided that everyone needs two QPQs now? I'm such a poor reviewer that I can barely get one on time, let alone multiple... BeanieFan11 (talk) 21:41, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    - It's at WP:QPQ - not a permanent change, just temporary until we can get the backlog down. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 01:25, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      - @PCN02WPS: Wondering, does it apply to all open nominations at any time, or just nominations after the mode was "activated" on March 8? (it's just, I've got nine open nominations nominated prior to that date still pending - I don't think I could do 18 QPQs in a reasonable timeframe.) BeanieFan11 (talk) 01:54, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
        @BeanieFan11: My impression is that it applies to all open nominations and I’ve seen several other users apply the new rule in the same way. I’d be more than happy to donate a QPQ to this nomination if you’ve only got time for one at this point, just let me know! PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 02:04, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
        The two QPQs requirement only applies to nominations made after 00:00, 8 March. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 10:52, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
        Awesome. @BeanieFan11: see above, I was wrong. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 17:02, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
        Great. I'll make sure to get a QPQ done soon. BeanieFan11 (talk) 19:18, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
        QPQ done. BeanieFan11 (talk) 21:40, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@BeanieFan11: Awesome. See my original comment regarding the hook and we should be good to go after that's fixed. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 05:16, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@BeanieFan11: Have all the concerns been addressed? Z1720 (talk) 15:23, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oops – forgot that this hadn't been completed yet. @PCN02WPS: I guess we could do something to the effect of ALT2 ... that football executive Ray Walsh also had a "murderous" forehand when playing tennis? Thoughts? BeanieFan11 (talk) 15:27, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@BeanieFan11: I like that - I think you could even remove "when playing tennis" if the link to forehand is kept. Shortens the hook a little bit and the wording "when playing tennis" sounds a touch awkward to me. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 15:52, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@PCN02WPS: So: ALT3 ... that football executive Ray Walsh also had a "murderous" forehand? I think that's good. BeanieFan11 (talk) 16:54, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@PCN02WPS: Is this hook approved? If not, what else needs to be done? Z1720 (talk) 19:22, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, whoops, thank you for the ping. Yes, ALT3 is approved. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 19:39, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
