<br/>I wouldn't use convert either because it is a distance. There is a spelling difference that might drive USAians nutty. :) Talent scout isn't quite right but I'm also happy with ALT1. In either case, green tick and some one move to Paralympic holding area? :D --[[User:LauraHale|LauraHale]] ([[User talk:LauraHale|talk]]) 12:15, 23 July 2012 (UTC) | <br/>I wouldn't use convert either because it is a distance.

:If "talent scout" isn't quite right then the article itself needs to be changed; those two words are the words used in the Wikipedia article and the Griffiths source; I would have changed "talent" to "track" or "track and field" but I wasn't sure of the Australian terminology for the sport so I figured it was best to go with the word choice already made.

Gabriel Cole (athlete)
... that 2012 Australian Paralympic 100 metre runner Gabriel Cole became a serious runner as a result of his high school French teacher?
Created/expanded by LauraHale (talk). Self nom at 12:03, 16 July 2012 (UTC)
QPQ Done
Hook formatted correctly, not sure if {{convert|100|m}} should be used
Article is new enough, long enough and supports hook fact. ⇒TAP 21:31, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
- I wouldn't advise using "convert" in this case; meters aren't that much longer than yards, the only reasonable conversion alternative. I would, however, recommend a slight change to "as a result of", which isn't ideal; ALT2 is more involved as it brings in the talent scout:
