Dan Casey

 * ... that Dan Casey (pictured) has been reported by some to have been the inspiration for the poem "Casey at the Bat"?
 * Reviewed: The Boat Race of 1989

5x expanded by Cbl62 (talk). Self nominated at 16:28, 25 July 2014 (UTC).


 * To avoid the Charley Horse issue, howzabout
 * ALT1 ... that in later life, baseball player Dan Casey (pictured) claimed he was "Casey at the Bat"?

(and I think it's punchier). EEng (talk) 03:13, 26 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Don't think we should be linking "Casey at the Bat." Prior practice had been to avoid linking other terms in the hook.  The goal of DYK is to draw eyes to the nominated article, not to other, established articles. Cbl62 (talk) 04:40, 26 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Well if that's the guideline it's never followed -- hooks are routinely linked just like article content. However, I agree, actually, that nothing but the primary article ought to be linked, for exactly the reason you give. EEng (talk) 04:53, 26 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Full review needed. The linking of additional terms in a hook is optional, with various contributors having strong feelings one way or another. (Some feel that obscure terms should be linked for context.) ALT1 is more effective, with or without link. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:13, 12 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Symbol confirmed.svg ALT1 verified. Hook is suitable in length, verified, and is interesting. Article was well over 5x expansion at time of nomination. Article is within policy, QPQ is done, and image has no copyright concerns. IronGargoyle (talk) 22:57, 18 August 2014 (UTC)
