• ... that footballer Dan Jones discovered that he was talented at taking throw-ins after having been a javelin thrower at school? Source: link “I didn’t play football until I was about 12 and never even used it until I went to Barrow (four years ago). But I did javelin as a kid and enjoyed athletics, so it must have come from that"
  • Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Daniel Boyd (artist)

Improved to Good Article status by EchetusXe (talk). Self-nominated at 22:35, 11 July 2022 (UTC).

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook eligibility:

• Cited:
• Interesting:
• Other problems: - I had a little trouble parsing the phrasing of the hook. Suggest ALT1 ... that footballer Dan Jones credits his skill at taking throw-ins to having been a javelin thrower as a child?

QPQ: Done.

Overall: New GA (same day as nomination), well-sourced and neutral. No copyvio concerns, proper QPQ done. Hook is sourced and interesting. I've suggested alternative wording, ALT1, above; @EchetusXe: keen for your thoughts on that? Chocmilk03 (talk) 05:12, 19 July 2022 (UTC)

Yeah that new hook is better worded than mine.EchetusXe 11:14, 19 July 2022 (UTC)

Excellent, thanks! Requesting new reviewer for ALT1 (I had forgotten I would need to do this, apologies!). The rest of the criteria are met. Chocmilk03 (talk) 22:00, 19 July 2022 (UTC)

• Ticking ALT1. Rest of review as per Chocmilk03 above. 97198 (talk) 04:09, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
