  • Pulled by Fram from prep due to issues discussed on the DYK talk page at WT:DYK#Pulled incorrect hook from prep 3. I have struck the original hook; I gather that ALT1 is still under consideration, but a new review should be done to be sure it is adequately supported and the other issues raised have been addressed, since the original review was wrong about the other hook.

  • @BlueMoonset: Thanks for the review. I must point out that you struck out the wrong hook. The fact that she is first Police officer to be awarded a FIFA badge is a fact and has not been disputed. It is rather the fact about her being the first woman to referee a match that has been removed. 09:30, 17 May 2018 (UTC)
  • Crosstemplejay, thanks for the correction. I have reversed the strike-outs, so it's the original hook that is unstruck, and ALT1 that has been removed from consideration. I would like to point out that although the lede claim matches the hook, in that she was the first police officer to have a FIFA refereeing badge, the body of the article also specifies "female", which could mean a male had been given such a badge before her (the source just says first without qualification). I recommend that this is straightened out before a reviewer is called in. It would also help if you would not have separate references for identical reprints of the same news article published in multiple sources: 2, 4, 6, and 8 are all the same article (though some are only partial reprints), which is credited to a footballmadeinghana story (which is not one of the sources). Only one is necessary. You've also misattributed the statement about who "admonished" her (it was the IGP), and I'd recommend against "admonish", which comes from "to warn"; a more neutral word would be better. Finally, I was interested to see in one of the sources that there's a Joyce Appiah who is also a Ghanian international referee, and had started four years before Juliet did. A relative?

  • @BlueMoonset: Thanks for another review. The issues raised have been addressed. The surname "Appiah" is quite a common name in Ghana so though I am not talking on authority, it is most likely just a coincidence. Research I have done shows that there is no other police officer with a FIFA badge, hence the special ceremony organized to honour her when she got the license. The references part has also been worked on. Please go through once again. Thanks. CrossTemple Jay 09:28, 18 May 2018 (UTC)
  • New reviewer needed to check the article for the issues raised above, including the remaining hook. Thank you. BlueMoonset (talk) 02:56, 30 May 2018 (UTC)
  • Replacing the tick for the original hook. The source states that she was the first police officer to become a FIFA referee so I have rephrased the article to reflect this. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:59, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
