 * Symbol question.svg Age, length OK. Well-referenced, and avoids close paraphrasing. However, the hook is a little bland. I think the fact in the lead will do nicely, but it is not sourced. Yoninah (talk) 22:19, 4 March 2012 (UTC)


 * The fact in the lead is one that ran in a mass edit of about 5 different expansions in one. :( I'd rather not do it again. :( --LauraHale (talk) 23:08, 4 March 2012 (UTC)


 * How about....


 * ALT1 ... that Australian Stinger Holly Lincoln-Smith (pictured) scored three goals against the Kazakhstan women's national water polo team in the playoff for Silver Medal at the Kirishi Cup in 2011?


 * I thought of that as it is so...esoteric and links to lots of obscure things to read.....Casliber (talk · contribs) 00:52, 5 March 2012 (UTC)


 * I'm okay with ALT1. f you can give me a few hours, I can try to improve the article, find more sources and see if something more interesting doesn't appear. --LauraHale (talk) 02:27, 5 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Spent an hour or so editing it, finding new sources and improving it. There should now be an interesting fact.  Maybe…


 * ALT2: … that Holly Lincoln-Smith and Emma Lincoln-Smith are trying to become the first Australian sibling pair to compete at the Summer and Winter Olympics?
 * ALT3: … the parents of Holly Lincoln-Smith both suffered major health problems the year she made the Australian junior national water polo team?
 * ALT4 … that as a twelve year old, Holly Lincoln-Smith saved the life of another swimmer in the middle of a race before going on to finish twenty-third overall? LauraHale (talk) 05:08, 5 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Symbol question.svg Thanks, LauraHale, you made it a much better article! Lots more references and good hooks. I like ALT2 and love ALT4, with this tweak:
 * ALT5: ... that as a 12 year old, Australian water polo player Holly Lincoln-Smith (pictured) saved the life of another swimmer in the middle of a race, then went on to finish 27th out of 40?
 * No problem. I'm fine with ALT5. --LauraHale (talk) 09:53, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Great. ALT5 verified and good to go. Yoninah (talk) 13:28, 5 March 2012 (UTC) (PS - thanks for the kitten!)


 * Would this be a good DYK for use on March 8th, International Women's Day? --PFHLai (talk) 10:39, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
 * If you need one to run, that would be fine. As the it is part of a set, if there are better women's themed ones, go with those first so they stand out more. :) --LauraHale (talk) 11:36, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
