A fact from Madeleine Steere appeared on Wikipedia's
Main Page in the Did you know column on 20 March 2024 (
check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that Australian Madeleine Steere played water polo professionally in Turkey after studying biomolecular science in the United States?
The following is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below. Please do not modify this page. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as
this nomination's talk page,
the article's talk page or
Wikipedia talk:Did you know), unless there is consensus to re-open the discussion at this page. No further edits should be made to this page.
... that Australian
water polo player Madeleine Steere was selected in the "2018 All-American team" in her second college year? Source: "In 2017 Steere joined the University of Michigan and in her two seasons with the side has gained recognition of her skills through selection in the 2018 All-American team."

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. –

@
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.

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: The
reference, which you've removed, stated that she is a Pharmaceutical mediciner from profession. Unfortunately, the link was deleted. So, I change the ALT4-hook as "studied", which is referenced.
