The Epic Split

  • ... that Belgian actor Jean-Claude Van Damme has performed a gymnastic split between two backwards moving trucks in a commercial? [1]
    • ALT1:... that ...? Source: "You are strongly encouraged to quote the source text supporting each hook" (and [link] the source, or cite it briefly without using citation templates)

Improved to Good Article status by PhotographyEdits (talk). Self-nominated at 15:40, 9 September 2021 (UTC).


General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: Yes
  • Interesting: Yes
  • Other problems: No - "has performed", or "performed"? Clarify who Jean-Claude Van Damme is, perhaps?
QPQ: None required.

Overall: I haven't done this before and I'd like someone to check my working! Turini2 (talk) 21:59, 11 September 2021 (UTC)

The target article should be in bold font in the hook; I’ve fixed that. Schwede66 18:22, 13 September 2021 (UTC)

Well, as I said in my message above, I had fixed the issue. So I didn't understand the follow up question. Schwede66 22:37, 29 September 2021 (UTC)
  • Oh, I see what happened. Turini2, nice job on the review! Everything in your review seems to check out fine, I definitely agree. If the hook's up to your standards, you can use {{subst:DYKyes}} to pass the nomination automatically. theleekycauldron (talkcontribs) (they/them) 01:43, 30 September 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for double checking! Turini2 (talk) 08:50, 30 September 2021 (UTC)
