  • ... that although Dr Ernest Fahmy played for Abertillery RFC in Wales, he opted to play international rugby for Scotland? Source: "He was given the option of playing for Wales but opted to play for Scotland." Abertillery online

  • Article is new enough and long enough. Reads neutral. Good sources & assuming good faith for two that are offline.
There's a little more overlap than I'd like to see to this source. Iainmacintyre, would you review this report & change the highlighted wording to be more in your own words?
Also, the hook is OK as-is, but it would be interesting to mention something about Fahmy's medical career. Maybe simply adding "Scottish obstetrician and gynaecologist" before "Dr" in the current hook? What are your thoughts? = paul2520 (talk) 20:08, 30 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Many thanks @Paul2520:.
  • I've done some text edits so that the only overlaps now are proper nouns. '...given the option of playing...' is , I think, best retained for precision.
  • I deliberately didn't style him as 'obstetrician and gynaecologist' as he wasn't at that stage.
