 * Symbol question.svg The article seems long enough for DYK. It is new enough but it had many red links, which i think must not be there. Apparently, I didn't see any citation to act as a source for the hook, though the rest of the article is referenced well. Arius1998 (talk) 11:06, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
 * DYK Guidelines only mention that redlinks should not be in the hook. Redlinks within the article are not addressed in the guidelines and not an issue in passing this nomination. Maile66 (talk) 20:38, 17 September 2012 (UTC)


 * QPQ - I question whether  Stafanie Taylor was actually a review, since all Hawkeye7 did was tell the author they needed two QPQs for a double hook. They never reviewed the hook or the article.
 * Re the hook - "All-American" is referenced three times at the end of the sentence, so that's good.  However, her not being an American is not clear because of the way the article is written.  It gives her birthdate, but not her birthplace.  "Hometown" is not the same thing as birthplace. The article jumps from her birth to her living in Illinois. If she was born in the United States, regardless of where she may have later lived, or for which team she played, she is an American. Even if she was born in the USA to non-American parents, and immediately taken out of the country, that still makes her an American. It all hinges on where she was actually born.  Can you get that cleared up and sourced?  If not, please this needs a different hook. Maile66 (talk) 15:40, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Every country has the right to decide who its citizens are. We could all be declared citizens of Libya tomorrow. However, I think we are still in the clear here, because I know full well that Chappas was born in Bendigo. Added a reference to the article back this up. I think this resolves your issue. I can't tell you why foreigners are eligible to be "All-American". I just thought that it made a great sounding hook. Hawkeye7 (talk) 02:51, 20 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Looking at this diff, it would appear that the QPQ is valid.  Schwede 66  18:47, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Note: adding hyphen to "All American" in hook text (it is correct in the nominated article). Agree that QPQ was valid: the two lines above the icon are part of the review, and the main substance of it. BlueMoonset (talk) 02:22, 19 September 2012 (UTC)
 * All problems should be resolved now. Hawkeye7 (talk) 02:51, 20 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Birthdate has been sourced in article as Australia. Maile66 (talk) 11:09, 20 September 2012 (UTC)

I am currently working on this. However, very shortly I will not have computer access, for possibly the rest of the day. Might be tomorrow before I finish, but I will take care of this. Maile66 (talk) 14:40, 20 September 2012 (UTC)
