: Muboshgu A QPQ has been conducted. Article satisfies the DYK criteria and the hooks are interesting and have been verified and are mentioned in the article. One minor question: I'm not sure that ALT3 is entirely accurate, the source only says winningest in the in the "National Junior College Athletic Association"-- is that the same as winningest overall? Once that is resolved one way or another this should be good to go. Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 22:16, 19 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Eddie891, in essence, these terms are referring to the same thing. The NJCAA is the governing body for junior college athletics. I'm fine with rewriting that hook. – Muboshgu (talk) 23:34, 20 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  - Oh, OK, thanks for clarifying. I'll approve all alts. Hadn't realized what the NJCAA is. Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 23:36, 20 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
