 * Symbol question.svg Length okay and sources check out.. but Twitter link needs to go per WP:ELNO. Hook checks but is rather boring. Perhaps "...that Fain Skinner scored over one hundred wins in kart racing, and won the 1999 World Karting Association national championship?
 * Alternate looks good from here. As for WP:ELNO, it has the caveat Except for a link to an official page of the article's subject, which is what that is here. - The Bushranger One ping only 04:10, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I agree that ELNO does allow official websites, and the article does include one. But as Twitter is seen as a social networking site and not a personal website, ELNO specifically lists it as a no. Facebook and Myspace sites are also sites of, and edited by, individuals... yet they too are excluded from consideration under ELNO.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 04:34, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
 * The way I read ELNO, an 'official' facebook or myspace site would be acceptable (and why is there a, widely used, Twitter template if it's verboten?). But I've removed it. - The Bushranger One ping only 06:40, 1 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Alt hook "...that Fain Skinner scored over one hundred wins in kart racing, and won the 1999 World Karting Association national championship?
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Acceptable. Without the Twitter EL in the article, the ALT hook (above) is good to go.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 08:00, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
