 * Symbol question.svg – a decently-cited article that's long enough in prose to qualify for DYK and is indeed a minimal, but satisfactory enough, expansion effort by a factor of five. There was a typo and a formatting problem where the entire prose was shoved into the lead, however I've resolved this myself. Good portrait choice, though I feel that the hook, while incredibly interesting to a broad audience due to its significant importance in the history of the Olympic games, could be ever so slightly simplified. My suggestion is below. – PhilipTerryGraham (talk · contribs · [//xtools.wmflabs.org/ec/?username=PhilipTerryGraham&project=en.wikipedia.org count]) 08:46, 13 March 2018 (UTC)

 * Hi, thank you kindly for the review and for the edits to the article. I'm happy with ALT1. Cheers – Ianblair23 (talk) 10:52, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg – updated the hook, so now we're good to go! – PhilipTerryGraham (talk · contribs · [//xtools.wmflabs.org/ec/?username=PhilipTerryGraham&project=en.wikipedia.org count]) 11:57, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Awesome! Thanks – Ianblair23 (talk) 12:34, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg you should provide a review that explicitly confirms that the five main DYK criteria have been met. So far you have verified a 5x expansion and adequate length. Your review also needs to verify newness, neutrality, close paraphrasing, QPQ, and image licensing. Thank you, Yoninah (talk) 16:03, 28 March 2018 (UTC)

 * This is not helpful. Please read WP:DYKR:
 * Type your review in the section for that nomination. You should begin your review with one of the five DYK review icons. This allows the nominator and other editors to more quickly understand your review decision, including the severity of any problems. It is also used by the bot to keep the tally of how many hooks have been passed. After posting the icon, indicate all aspects of the article that you have reviewed; your comment should look something like the following:

 * Good to know that I can be a good reviewer by simply copy+pasting somebody else’s review! – PhilipTerryGraham (talk &middot;&#32;articles &middot;&#32;reviews) 23:38, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Everyone has a standard line for the reviews they check. This can be yours :) Yoninah (talk) 23:44, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks, But I’ll stick to writing my own reviews. You should write some reviews too, methinks. The whole QPQ thing is redundant if there’s always gonna be other people to patrol other people’s reviews when they can easily make reviews themselves instead. That’s all I have to say. :) – PhilipTerryGraham (talk &middot;&#32;articles &middot;&#32;reviews) 23:50, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
 * I do do reviews. (Just did one now.) But we don't have so many editors promoting to the prep sets, so that's what I do most of the time. I wasn't "patrolling" your review, just came by to promote it to prep. Yoninah (talk) 23:59, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
