 * Symbol delete vote.svg Apart from being a rather unremarkable hook, the article is very poorly sourced. The first source,, mentions Norwood once (the hook fact), but is being used as a reference in the article five times, including things like " At the end of the season, she was named to the America East Honor Roll." (not in the source at all) or "Coached by Robyn Marler" (not in the source either). Fram (talk) 10:31, 5 November 2012 (UTC)

 * To create less drama... it looks bad if you start a section like you did and then start reviewing her articles. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:59, 6 November 2012 (UTC)
 * But I didn't. I started reviewing her articles, noted numerous problems, started a section on this problem, and meanwhile continued reviewing her articles. If a reviewer is biased because he criticizes the editing of the creator of an article nominated for DYK, then it becomes a whole lot easier to get promoted of course. Perhaps someone can look at the actual remarks about the article instead? Fram (talk) 15:18, 6 November 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm quite sure that a new unbiased reviewer would also do that. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 02:26, 7 November 2012 (UTC)


 * ALT1: ... that current Canberra Capitals player Samantha Norwood was the vice captain of the 2004 and 2005 Western Australia under-18 team?

Fixed one sourcing problem. It was an unintentional error, which was a result of having multiple windows open and copying and pasting the wrong url. I have corrected the one typo in regards to the Sarah's last name. --LauraHale (talk) 02:31, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

 * Symbol confirmed.svg Good to go. First hook is interesting enough and supported by source: . Article is long enough [3107 characters]. Additionally, ALT1 is also interesting, and supported by this source: . So, both hooks are okay. — ΛΧΣ  21™  18:47, 6 December 2012 (UTC)


 * I have replaced the hook used with hook Alt 1, because the original hook was only sourced to a student run college newspaper, not a reliable source.


 * I'm not really happy about the alt hook either, though. There were three sources, one which didn't mention the fact, one which is the teams website, and one which was a verbatim copy of that wite (so probably a press release). Press releases don't count towards WP:N, so I don't see why they would count for DYK, as they are basically a primary source. Fram (talk) 09:10, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
