USA Boxing ("It wasn’t until Golden Gloves in 2022 that she realized her skill and that the Olympics was a possibility. She fought five times in six days and won the event but also won best female boxer of the tournament. 'I fought on my birthday during the Golden Gloves, and I remember winning and going straight to my room and praying.' A passionate Mendoza stated. 'I felt like fighting on my birthday was a sign to me that I was born to do this and to be here in the spot I am today.'"
Review – The article is new enough (created/moved to mainspace on 14 June 2024), long enough (1600+ characters of prose), has no copyright issues (using Earwig tool and two spot checks), and is presentable (based on a readthrough). The hook is cited, but from the source, I cannot make out whether this Golden Gloves was a single-day tournament that was held on her birthday or that it was a multiple-day tournament and that she merely won a single fight on her birthday. If it is the former, the hook is interesting enough, but if it is the latter, the hook is not interesting enough in my opinion. Could this be clarified with a source or can you suggest an alternative hook? The QPQ is not yet done. – Editør (

Sorry, I guess I did the QPQ but forgot to respond. @
Editør: It seems to have been a multi-day tournament, but I can't tell if she won the tournament on her birthday or just a match. An ALT would be: ALT1 ... that Alyssa Mendoza won a
Golden Gloves fight on her birthday? If you don't think that's interesting enough, I could try to develop a different hook. Thoughts?

Thank you for clarifying. It looks like the DYK could be featured during the Olympics, so perhaps a hook about her Olympic qualification? There is already something about that in the article. – Editør (

(
edit conflict) I kind of like ALT2 better (but could live with ALT3 being promoted if ALT2 doesn't work) – the source does seem to support it: Mendoza, who attended Middleton High, is set to become the first Olympic boxer from the Gem State. Thoughts?

The source is geoblocked from my location. I visited the page via a proxy, but it contained only two full sentences and not your green quote. But if that's in there ALT2 is alright with me.
