Nick van den Berg[edit]

(
)

5x expanded by Lee Vilenski (talk). Self-nominated at 12:07, 5 March 2019 (UTC).

  • Article expanded five times, article of accepted length, use of free images, article violates no policy guidelines, interesting and cited hook, QPQ done. The first hook is better. RRD (talk) 14:15, 8 March 2019 (UTC)

@Royroydeb: @Lee Vilenski: @Black Kite: @Joseph2302: Apologies for the late decision, but the sourcing and wording of this hook have been questioned at Wikipedia talk:Did you know#Queue 5 (3 hours away). Please could you look into the issues raised and then mark it as ready again once they're resolved. Thanks  — Amakuru (talk) 21:51, 3 April 2019 (UTC)

  • No problem. I've tried to find an actual place that lists his participation in the Mosconi Cup as straight text, and the only place that would propool.info lists his 2006 tie as a win for the USA (which is refuted in several locations.) However, his AZBilliards profile lists the correct results, but you do have to verify per year, rather than plain text. I hope that's suitable for ALT1.

  • It appears that this nomination was never restored to the Nominations page when it was pulled from prep over two months ago. Amakuru, can you please check to see whether Lee Vilenski has addressed the issues you had that caused you to pull it, and then post back here at your earliest convenience if further work needs to be done? Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 05:38, 21 June 2019 (UTC)
    @Lee Vilenski: @BlueMoonset: the wording was slightly awkward in ALT1 - comma placement, for example, makes it look like he only lost once in 2003, rather than only losing once overall. I have proposed an ALT1a. Any good? Thanks  — Amakuru (talk) 10:29, 21 June 2019 (UTC)
    Yeah, works for me. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 11:11, 21 June 2019 (UTC)
  • Amakuru, ALT1a looks fine to me; it's a nicer wording of the facts contained in ALT1. I've struck the other hooks, leaving only ALT1a. Were there any other issues, or is this ready for approval? BlueMoonset (talk) 05:50, 22 June 2019 (UTC)
    It's fine by me, BlueMoonset. No further issues. If someone approves it then I can also promote it to a Queue I think.  — Amakuru (talk) 07:28, 25 June 2019 (UTC)
  • New reviewer needed to check ALT1a. (Note to Amakuru: we very much discourage people, even admins, from promoting hooks that they have proposed, so best you leave the promotion to prep to someone else. Given this nomination's age, I expect the promotion to occur within a day or two of the nomination being approved.) BlueMoonset (talk) 14:20, 25 June 2019 (UTC)
ALT1, but I wonder if we need the "2003" at all. I fixed his name a few times in the article. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:04, 25 June 2019 (UTC)
Gerda Arendt, I think you're approving ALT1a? --valereee (talk) 14:03, 26 June 2019 (UTC)
Yes, you are right, only one open ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:23, 26 June 2019 (UTC)
