United States Invitational Young Physicists Tournament[edit]
- ... that in 2008, an Australian girls' school defeated an American boys' school for the United States Invitational Young Physicists Tournament championship?
- I'm not going to review something else, yet -- first time at DYK, and I want to understand the process first. I promise to review a couple of these after this passes or doesn't. :-)

Mostly good. New enough, long enough, didn't see any close paraphrasing. Hook fact checks out (I'll AGF the source I can't see, but I also verified it on a source I can see). The "Results" section of the article was unsourced. Since there is no one source that covers all years' results, I think a footnoted source is needed for each row of the table. I've added sources for two of them. When that's done, this will be good to go!
- PS - You've done a nice job of finding multiple third-party sources. However, for future reference, for a contest where the sponsoring organization is the main source of information, it's OK to cite that sponsor as the source for items such as "who won." --Orlady (talk) 17:56, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
- Thank you, Orlady. It certainly makes sense to footnote each row. All of the results information is contained in each year's The Physics Teacher article. I went through and referenced each year's results to the proper article. The TPT articles actually have considerably more detail about results than the USAYPT website -- Go figure. But I take your point about the sponsoring organization being a reliable source for its own tournament's results. I suppose we can and do use NFL.com for Super Bowl results, eh? :-) Thank you for the review! Hope the footnotes look right now.Moishe Rosenbaum (talk) 01:44, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
