ALT2: ... that basketball player Charel Allen was a five-time Bulgarian Cup champion despite only knowing a few words of Bulgarian?

Sources: Five-time champ, "a few words", further context on language barrier: "Halftime speeches are usually all in Bulgarian,” Allen said of the language barrier. “Coach (Stefan Mihaylov) trusts me, though. With my knowledge of the game, I know what he's saying and what we need to do. If not, he'll translate for me later and let me know what I needed to do."]

The article is new enough at the time of the nomination and is adequately sourced. It also meets the length requirements. All hooks are cited inline. However, while Clark is a big name right now in the US, ALT2 might have more international appeal and is otherwise slightly less reliant on "specialist" information, so that would be my preferred hook. QPQ has been done. There is some minor close paraphrasing with this page, which will need to be addressed before this can be approved.

- Could you be more specific on the paraphrasing? ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 01:15, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  - I guess the copyvio detector doesn't like "averaged 26.1 points, 10.5 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 6.4 steals" but I'm not sure if there's a better way to write that. That's the standard order those stats are always placed in. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 01:47, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It was giving a 50%+ score when I checked, no idea why it went down this time. Apart from what you mentioned there's also "double major in sociology and computer applications", though I'm not sure if there's a good way to rephrase that. Earwig doesn't seem to like the awards names either. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 01:51, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I just slightly reworded two things and it went up to 40% -.- ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 01:59, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's at 16% now. That's probably okay. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 02:11, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, that should work. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 09:24, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
