QPQ done. New enough. Long enough. Fully supported by sources (except lead first sentence which summarises article). Hook properly formatted. Article is neutral enough. Plagiarism spot check [1][2][3] No cause for concerns. No images to check. Hooked fact supported by article and by sources in the article. Good to go. --LauraHale (talk) 20:17, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
- Please don't use "will compete..." on MainPage. That's crystal-balling. "Will" should be saved for things like the sun rising from the east tomorrow morning. An illness, injury or travel delays may prevent Joseph from competing. How about ALT1: ... that Joseph Roebuck, a British qualifier for three swimming events at the 2012 Summer Olympics, missed out on qualification for the previous Olympics by a quarter of a second? --PFHLai (talk) 21:04, 14 July 2012 (UTC)
