Mark Aizlewood

 * ... that footballer Mark Aizlewood once celebrated scoring a goal by flicking the V at fans of his own team? Source: Yorkshire Evening Post
 * Reviewed: Washington, My Home
 * Comment: I believe flicking the V is a largely British phenomenon so I'm open to any ideas on rewording if necessary.

 * Symbol confirmed.svg WP:GA status on July 27, prose is plenty long enough, and within policy. Hook is short enough (about 100 characters), and is interesting. I actually like the "flicking the V" hook a lot, it made me want to look at that article as well. QPQ complete. Article looks good, with no other issues. « Gonzo fan2007   (talk)  @ 16:05, 3 August 2018 (UTC)
 * I will mention that there is probably one sentence or two that could be rewritten slightly to lessen any copyvio concern. See . I don't think it is an issue, but if you want to slightly rewrite a few sentences, it wouldn't hurt. « Gonzo fan2007   (talk)  @ 16:06, 3 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the heads up, I've trimmed that down a bit now. Kosack (talk) 05:42, 4 August 2018 (UTC)
