 * Symbol confirmed.svg QPQ done. New enough.   Long enough.  Fully supported by sources (except lead first sentence which summarises article).  Hook properly formatted.  Article is neutral enough. Plagiarism spot check  No cause for concerns. No images to check. Hooked fact supported by article and by sources in the article.  Good to go. --LauraHale (talk) 20:17, 13 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Please don't use "will compete..." on MainPage. That's crystal-balling. "Will" should be saved for things like the sun rising from the east tomorrow morning. An illness, injury or travel delays may prevent Joseph from competing.  How about ALT1: ... that Joseph Roebuck, a British qualifier for three swimming events at the 2012 Summer Olympics, missed out on qualification for the previous Olympics by a quarter of a second? --PFHLai (talk) 21:04, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

 * It's better to have a worry-free hook. When new info becomes available, we may or may not be lucky enough to have the time to fix things up. --PFHLai (talk) 05:55, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
