Sarah Moore (racing driver) edit

  • Comment: If you want me to remove the piping from the name, that's fine :) There are a few other possible hooks you can use (like the fact she was the first female to win a TOCA-sanctioned race) with this as well :)

Then I would use that. As it is this is a dull hook. Someone wins every race ... there should be something significant about the victory, and that's it. Daniel Case (talk) 05:27, 19 July 2013 (UTC)
  • This isn't referring to a race, it's referring to a championship? Anyway, the other hook is
ALT1: ... that Sarah Moore was the first female racing driver to win a TOCA-supported race? Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 08:31, 19 July 2013 (UTC)
ALT2: ... that Sarah Moore was the first female racing driver to win a mixed-gender, national-level series in the UK? Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 15:04, 30 July 2013 (UTC)
  • Full review needed; I have labeled the second hook as ALT1 for clarity. The original hook would be effective if she had also been the first woman to win the championship, but the article doesn't state that. (If it's true and can be sourced, it could be added to the article and the hook.) BlueMoonset (talk) 14:23, 29 July 2013 (UTC)
  • She was indeed the first female to win the championship, and to win a championship on the TOCA package. I can reference that as well, if required - you may need to ping me tomorrow, as I've got a football match soon, and will be too tired to sort things out tonight (probably). :) Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 19:24, 29 July 2013 (UTC)
  • Added a second alternate hook - that text is referenced in the article. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 15:04, 30 July 2013 (UTC)
  • Article meets all DYK criteria. Both ALT hooks are accurate and verified; I'd go with ALT2, which is more immediately interesting (because most people won't know who TOCA are). This is the nominator's third DYK, so QPQ isn't necessary. DoctorKubla (talk) 14:23, 2 August 2013 (UTC)
