• ... that at the 1973 CECAFA Cup, Kenya and Zambia shared third place?

• Reviewed: Put here
• Comment: This morning OccultZone fixed a referencing error whereby the URLs were counted in the prose, making it 476 characters. After the issue was fixed, the prose was at 306 characters, which I have expanded to 1731 characters now

5x expanded by Matty.007 (talk). Self-nominated by at 14:42, 1 June 2014 (UTC).

• ALT1 ... that Uganda won the inaugural edition of the CECAFA Cup?

• @Matty.007: I think ALT1 is a better hook. IMO more interesting. Armbrust ^{The Homunculus} 13:06, 4 June 2014 (UTC)

The ALT 1 has wider scope and literature, I agree with that. Rest, the article has been written nicely. OccultZone (Talk) 13:42, 4 June 2014 (UTC)

Just so that this doesn't get promoted without a QPQ, will do one soon. Thanks, Matty.007 19:53, 5 June 2014 (UTC)

• This review needs more details, in accordance with DYK review instructions. Details that are supposed to be checked in a review can be found at DYK Reviewing guide. Yoninah (talk) 23:34, 5 June 2014 (UTC)

• Well, I can resolve part of this: QPQ doing at Template:Did you know nominations/The Sherlock Holmes. Thanks, Matty.007 10:49, 7 June 2014 (UTC)

• New enough (expanded 1 June, nominated 1 June) and long enough at 1717 readable prose characters. QPQ done. No problems with disambig links or with access to external links. Original hook and ALT1 are acceptable and short enough, and both hooks check out online with citation #2. The article is written in an objective manner and neutral style. It all fully cited except for one section (see issue below). All citations were searched for sources of copyvio and close paraphrasing, but none found. Issue: The final rankings section lacks inline citations. When the citation issue has been resolved, this nom will be good to go. --Storye book (talk) 17:52, 17 June 2014 (UTC)

• Referenced at end of paragraph (per WP:CALC). Thanks, Matty.007 16:15, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

• Thank you, Matty.007, all issues now resolved. If you want control over which hook is promoted, please strike out one of them asap, using <s></s>. Good to go, with original hook or ALT1.--Storye book (talk) 16:28, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

• I think I'll risk not striking anything... No Alts here! Thanks again for the detailed review, Matty.007 16:38, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

• Still good to go with original hook and ALT1. --Storye book (talk) 08:34, 19 June 2014 (UTC)
