  • Here is where to find the outdoor results: https://www.ustfccca.org/meets-results/meet-history?series=3369.

    • previously 1547 characters (required 7735 for 5x)
    • Source confirmed.
    • 18% copyvio result from quotation and Official terminology and names.
  • Cliff Brumbaugh, 14345 characters created by Deiz on June 8, 2007, expansion began 38 edits ago on March 24, 2024
    • previously 2143 characters (required 10715 for 5x)
    • The phrase "10 hits, four RBIs, two hits and one home run" can not be right.
    • This infobox could host more highlights, MVPs and All-league or All-start honrs.
      • Per the Del. Sports HOF, Brumbaugh was a five-time minor league all-star and four-time all-star in Asia; however, the years aren't mentioned. We know three of the minor league all-star selections (1995, 1999, 2010) – he also was MVP in at least 1995 and 2010. As for the Asian leagues, it seems we know 2003 and 2004, but the other years are less certain. We also know a bunch of honors from HS/college. What do you suggest?

    • Source confirmed.
    • 12.3% copyvio result from poor paraphrasing.

      • The date request window is 6 weeks, I believe. So you can only request dates within 6 weeks of the date that you nominate a hook. You can read further about special occaision requests at WP:DYKSO.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 20:03, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
        • Crap! I was never aware of that! And just two weeks off. Is it possible to IAR, something? One of the main reasons I nominated this was in hope that it could be set for that date... BeanieFan11 (talk) 20:06, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
          • It says exceptions to the six-week limit can be implemented by way of a local consensus at WT:DYK. I'll open a discussion about it once the reviewing is done. BeanieFan11 (talk) 20:09, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
