520: 767:- Hook-fact in ALT4 is mentioned in the article, where it has an inline citation that supports the claim. I've done some copyediting to the article, I hope I didn't mess up anything: when talking about doubles in tennis isn't it better to write "name1 and name2" than "name1-name2"? For further improvements, I would suggest adding how Wennergren performed at the Olympics (which is his only claim to notability, afaik) to the body of the article. Cheers, 835: 744: 470: 331: 158: 784: 253: 859: 764: 504: 351: 561:". There's a ref to it that says "He spent his childhood among a family of five brothers one of whom was the playwright, William Douglas-Home". No other details just the name, no birth date STILL the wikipage has his name wikilinked to his own article, although it could be another William Douglas-Home, who was a playright (note that William Douglas-Home's 710:
you added the information, I'm assuming that you know more about the subject matter and the sources than I do, and therefore can say whether or not the hook is a valid interpretation. If the article author doesn't stand behind the hook, it wouldn't be right for a reviewer to "assume in good faith" that the hook fact is valid. --

I have pulled this one from the queue as I think the hook is mundane - it basically states that a Swedish tennis champion worked as a banker, so what? Also, while the article mentions his Olympic career in the lead, it fails to detail his Olympic career or even mention it as far as I can see in main

to find them out. And the last we should do is to post own research on the main page, no matter what have been done in the past. I'm not saying you should remove it from the article (even though you could argue that it should've been removed), but that you need another hook if this nomination should
507:
The hook is better, but I'm not that confident about the sourcing. There is a "who is who" source that lists Charles with a son named "Bertil" born 25, and other sources that confirms that a person named "Bertil Wennergren" was this and that, but no sources connects those two. For all we know, there

ALT3 was merely a suggested rewording of the original hook. ALT4 is a new hook fact. I suggested the ALT4 hook based on what the article says. It appears to be consistent with the Swedish source, but I don't know the language and I don't know the Swedish government system that he was part of. Since

section is unreferenced and wikipages don't serve as refs to each other anyway). So there's no proof they are related and not just a coincidence. They bare a rare name but they could have been born as Smiths. It works like this here based on common sense. In my case on the contrary we have at least

It's all good, you're probably right. Although many biography entries in Knowledge work like this. It is hard-to-impossible to find e.g. newspaper articles that enumerates someone's descendants and their occupations so you have to put it together puzzle by puzzle to have a family coverage on them.
354:
The article is new enough, long enough and was nominated in time. It is written in a neutral way, but my concern is the hook - if the only thing that is interesting about this guy is to write about his son, then maybe we shouldn't approve it for DYK. I'd rather have a hook that he first became
295:
You're correct: it's what shows that counts (including spacing), not the underlying code. However, the hook is a bit choppy, and I think you could safely lose the "Parliamentary Ombudsman" bit to give the hook more punch; here's a 176-character version (which counts as 165 when "(pictured)" is
272:, whose characters should be counted, but the rendered version. When I nominated it, that version was 200 character long, but an editor added "(pictured)", which I think is needed, and so it slightly slipped over the limit (but not by 72 ch.). I'll rephrase it in a new 697:
had already taken his time and proposed a new hook, why not give it a shot? Although I consider it the last chance from my part, so if it gets resent again for whatever reason you can automaticly delist this nomination.

The national championship is a closed competition meaning that only Swedish players can register for it. International is what the word means. It works like this in every other sport. I think it'll do if I wikilink

two matching birth dates, which I rank more than matching professions. Maybe not the best example I didn't search for long but I'm 100% sure I can dig out another better one from the FA pool within minutes.

Swedish international champion aged only 22, or that he won the Swedish single championship six times. (though it might be an idea to elaborate in the article what the difference between those two are.)
91: 413:
Yes, a wikilink would do. Regarding the hook, I would have approved it if this was a two-article hook, but I believe there are more interesting facts about the tennis-player than writing about his son.
387: 395: 391: 508:
could be two people with the same name. Do we have any source that confirms that the tennis player was the father to the Justice of the Swedish Supreme Administrative Court?

I believe that this nomination was waiting for input from you. What did you think of the ALT4 hook? If you think it's valid, we can flag this as needing a new review. --

with similar DYK hooks and they worked. I think if two "famous" persons are related and it's a less-known fact it could be interesting for others to read about it.
888: 621:
How about a different hook? I think the juxtaposition of his tennis success with a mundane career is interesting, particularly in this era of sports celebrities:

Well, the possibility that it is correct is very high, but as no source actually supports the fact that the tennis player was the father to the justice it is

I have taken a look at the article and admittedly there is not much in the way of hook material, so I suggest we just stick to the basics:

When ALT3 was posted by another editor it didn't need my approval to be validated. I didn't want to disrespect others work (ALT4) so if

Since no progress has been made in the past five weeks (and one week from the last comment) I regretfully withdraw my nomination again.
17: 606:
With all these delays and uphelds I rather withdraw my nomination. I don't think his tennis matches are interesting enough.

within the article, a link which perfectly describes it for readers unfamiliar with that type of sport event. Do you agree?
815: 647: 44: 141: 838:
I added content about his Olympic career in the main body of the article. I guess we need a fresh review now. --
