Overall: Nice work on this article! I only have a couple small issues that need addressing before I can pass this: the lead section is too short, it should really be expanded given the amount of information in the text of the article; and the first "a" in the "australia women's" section should be capitalised.

  • It's not interesting to me, but I don't know anything about college sports either. Why is "2018 All-American team" in scare quotes? What in particular makes this interesting? They have an all-american team every year. What makes this person being selected to it special? Grammar nit: shouldn't it be "selected for" instead of "selected in"?
Yet another hook for your consideration. I feel "gold medal as captain" sounds like a clear achievement, even if only with the U-16 team. –LordPeterII (talk) 10:15, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Kingsif: Yes, as long as a nominated article has an orange tag that isn't resolved, it can't be approved or promoted. @CeeGee: Given that the nomination is already over three months old I would suggest this being given at most another week to resolve any issues, otherwise it should be closed.

Thank all, who are involved in the discussion. Yet, I, for myself, am confused, and do not know what is expected from me. I would do immeadiately what is required. CeeGee 05:15, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The problem is that the hook needs to be likely to be perceived as unusual or intriguing by readers with no special knowledge or interest. All of the hooks proposed thus far fall into the category of "of person does job", which is never that unusual or intriguing unless the job is itself really unusual or interesting. None of "sportsperson was selected in team", "sportsperson won a trophy", or "sportsperson was captain of a youth team" is unusual or interesting. I cannot find anything suitable in the article either, not helped by the fact that nearly every sentence needs copyediting. I might just sort that bit out myself. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 11:07, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
CeeGee, I have copyedited the article, so only the WP:DYKINT issues (see above comment) remain. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 11:28, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
