  • Length checks out okay (1768 characters) and the date of creation (November 8, 2011) is also okay. The hook is appropriately referenced in the article (ref #5). However, there are a number of uncited paragraphs, and in fact, the whole "Playing career" section is unreferenced. Per the DYK rules, each paragraph requires at least one reference. The references in general could be improved using the Reflinks tool to complete these. Harrias talk 22:33, 27 November 2011 (UTC)
Hi Harrias, I was able to improve the referencing using mostly the existing references. Can you have another look. Otherwise I will put in a bit more work on some sourcing. Cheers Mattlore (talk) 22:49, 27 November 2011 (UTC)
Looks good now: the citations could still do with accessdates, but that's an ideal rather than a necessity at this stage. Harrias talk 21:54, 28 November 2011 (UTC)

Close paraphrasing concerns. Compare "because he was getting married at the time and he was also unhappy with the involvement of another Rhinos official" in the article with "partly because he was getting married at the time and he was also unhappy with the involvement of another Rhinos official".

I've rephrased the offending sentence, and checked all the remaining sources for close paraphrasing, and have found no further concerns, so I'm happy that the article is now good to go. Harrias talk 00:11, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
