  • Comment: I created this article by translating from Italian Wikipedia, and have been working to expand it further and add more sources (half of the original had minimal sourcing). A few citations still need to be added in various spots, but the hooks and their context are cited. I apologize in advance that most sources are in Italian; they are quite difficult to locate in English, but can be easily validated using Google Translate. QPQ is old, but my oldest for which I have not submitted a DYK nomination. I will continue working on sourcing in the meantime.

  • Article new enough and certainly long enough! It's in very good condition, just two [citation needed] tags which ideally should be resolved before this hits the main page. QPQ validated. The hook is good, but instead of that jarring quick comma, could we go for something more like : ... that Atalanta reached the semifinals of the 1987–88 European Cup Winners' Cup while playing in the Italian second tier? I'm also aware that both that and the nominator's suggestions may fall foul of being a bit Easter eggy because I imagine most people would expect to be directed to the club article rather than the history article. Any thoughts? The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 11:19, 31 December 2020 (UTC)
@The Rambling Man: I will work on the two citation needed tags. The alternative phrasing of the hook still works for me, though I would only link European Cup Winners' Cup (rather than the specific edition) because it is a more presentable article to link on the main page. Regarding "Easter eggy", I was trying to word the hooks in a way to emphasize significant historical aspects; I was aware of this possibility, but was trying to do something along the lines of {{Did you know nominations/History of aluminium}} (if possible). I also wanted to avoid choosing something generic or quoting statistics that may not be unique. Any other thoughts on that? ComplexRational (talk) 15:46, 31 December 2020 (UTC)
Okay, I take the point on the quality of the specific ECWC edition, and perhaps my concern over the easter egg-ness is overblown. I think we can stick with the original nomination wording. Once those [citation needed]s are fixed, I'm completely satisfied. Cheers. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 15:59, 31 December 2020 (UTC)
@The Rambling Man: I sourced the two statements tagged with citation needed (of course, further improvements still to come). Thank you for the review. ComplexRational (talk) 23:49, 31 December 2020 (UTC)
