  • Symbol confirmed.svg Dan arndt (talk) 23:45, 21 January 2017 (UTC) - though I'm not certain how the DYK was started before the article was created
Article is newly created (22 January)
Article is long enough (1,800 characters)
Article is free of copyright violations
A couple of the statements in the article need citations.
All three hooks are short enough. ALT2 preferred. They could all be trimmed slightly.
Hooks are accurate & properly cited.
  • Template:Reply to The nomination was submitted shortly after the article was created, I guess there might be some time zone issues affecting how this is displayed. I added references for the unsourced statements in the article. I have struck the first hook and ALT1. I could suggest a few more hooks below that are progressively shorter. Drchriswilliams (talk) 14:47, 22 January 2017 (UTC)
    • ALT3:... that injury stopped Lorne Crerar from gaining a full international cap as a player, but 20 years later he took part in two Rugby World Cups as a judicial officer? Source: The Herald ([7]) The Scotsman ([8])
    • ALT4:... that after injury, Lorne Crerar didn't get a full international cap as a player but did later take part in two Rugby World Cups as a judicial officer? Source: The Herald ([9]) The Scotsman ([10])
    • ALT5:... that after injury, Lorne Crerar didn't get a full international cap as a player but took part in two Rugby World Cups as a judicial officer? Source: The Herald ([11]) The Scotsman ([12])
