A fact from Ray Walsh appeared on Wikipedia's
Main Page in the Did you know column on 9 April 2024 (
check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that football executive Ray Walsh also had a "murderous"
forehand?
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 Ray Walsh's tennis playing style was "murderous"? Source:
Fordham Rams ("A fierce competitor, Walsh liked to run around using his backhand and possessed a swooping forehand described by contemporaries as 'murderous'.")
Article is new and long enough. Sourcing looks good, Earwig checks out (only flagged bit is a direct quote that is attributed). Both hooks are interesting and cited inline; I prefer ALT1 personally. Wording might need some tweaking since the Fordham website says his forehand was "murderous", not necessarily his playing style. No image so that is N/A. Since we're in unreviewed backlog mode, two QPQs will be needed because you've got over 20 DYK credits.

Where was it decided that everyone needs two QPQs now? I'm such a poor reviewer that I can barely get one on time, let alone multiple...

@
PCN02WPS: Wondering, does it apply to all open nominations at any time, or just nominations after the mode was "activated" on March 8? (it's just, I've got nine open nominations nominated prior to that date still pending - I don't think I could do 18 QPQs in a reasonable timeframe.)

@
BeanieFan11: My impression is that it applies to all open nominations and I’ve seen several other users apply the new rule in the same way. I’d be more than happy to donate a QPQ to this nomination if you’ve only got time for one at this point, just let me know!

@
BeanieFan11: I like that - I think you could even remove "when playing tennis" if the link to forehand is kept. Shortens the hook a little bit and the wording "when playing tennis" sounds a touch awkward to me.
