This is not a full review, just a quick one. The hook is too long (more than 200 characters), this should be under 200 characters per Wikipedia:Did you know#hookformat. Zia Khan 13:03, 28 November 2012 (UTC)

This is a four-part multiple hook. Those aren't strictly limited to 200. At 230 for four, I thought this was somewhat concise. Cbl62 (talk) 15:29, 28 November 2012 (UTC)

The hook length is fine, per WP:DYKSG#C3. Even without applying that rule, DYKcheck reports it as 216 characters, because the ellipsis and (pictured) aren't counted. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 00:52, 29 November 2012 (UTC)

I'll try to get the QPQs done in the next couple days. Thanks. Cbl62 (talk) 03:08, 29 November 2012 (UTC)

QPQ information has now been added. Cbl62 (talk) 02:09, 2 December 2012 (UTC)

These four articles were all started around November 26th and are long enough. The image is in the public domain. The hook statement has a suitable reference for each coach and adding them up, I agree with Cbl62's total. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:24, 15 December 2012 (UTC)
