Chris Stringer (footballer)

 * Symbol question.svg Article prose has been expanded about 16x over, and is now over 1600 prose characters, not including spaces. Article was expanded today, so qualifies under the 7 day rule. The first hook is properly cited for the 13 second fact. But, curiously, the article has a different cite to a source that indicates 12 seconds? I thought that odd. I wonder if that can be better supported as 12 or 13? Second hook is cited as well. Earwig report clears copyright concerns, thought a slight adjustment of "his retirement from professional football at the age of 20" would be welcome. Pending a QPQ review from . I looked at template editing history and it looks like there's a lot of 1:1 relationship in the QPQ, so Kosack if you could just review one more that would be great. Why not get ahead of yourself and do more? Nudge, nudge :) I find the 13 (or is it 12?) second factoid to be rather interesting. My only issue is clarifying the 12 or 13 second issue (and the QPQ). --Hammersoft (talk) 23:40, 14 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the review, I've added two further sources that support the 13 seconds and a QPQ review. Funnily enough I have been wondering about reviewing DYKs in advance so perhaps I will in future. Kosack (talk) 08:00, 15 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Looks good to me now, and QPQ is met now. I know journalists sometimes disagree with each other, so finding another source to support the 13 seconds is great. Thanks for the work Kosack! --Hammersoft (talk) 13:30, 15 March 2018 (UTC)
