Comments

I'm not sure "twins" needs to be linked.
He was placed on injured reserve on August 28, 1988, and after comma not needed
References:
- All appear to be consistently formatted and reliable for what is being cited
- Spot checks: 3, 8, 11, 14, 16
- After being released, he worked in construction with his father and served as a coach for Kaukauna High School.[14] After an injury to Harvey Salem, the Packers re-signed Viaene in October 1992 as a backup tackle.[14] you can remove the first inline cite since both sentences go to the same source
- Ref 2 and 6 need an access-date

BeanieFan11, I'm not one to regularly pull up American football hooks on DYKINT, but you need to know what "wide receiver" means to find this interesting, and (unlike terms like "score a touchdown" or "kicker", where you can get some idea from the word alone) it's not immediately guessable that it means "fastest player on the field". I think some workshopping is needed. Thanks, though, for introducing me to the term "long snapper". ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 10:50, 30 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@AirshipJungleman29: To be fair, I thought outsiders would be enticed by having to link to the term? After all, readers who hover their mouse on the link would know what exactly the linked item means, but then only on a PC. If that's not enough, I have a few ALTs (these are the only ones I was able to think of, and the second half is if enough people are familiar with the bench press):

ALT1A: ... that as the strongest player of his college football team, David Viaene was able to lift over 500 pounds (230 kg) of weights? He is the team's strongest player, bench pressing 500 pounds + In the weight room, he has bench pressed 505 pounds

ALT1B: ... that as the strongest player of his college football team, David Viaene was able to bench press 500 pounds (230 kg)? He is the team's strongest player, bench pressing 500 pounds + In the weight room, he has bench pressed 505 pounds

ALT2A: ... that in college, football player David Viaene was able to lift over 500 pounds (230 kg) of weights? In the weight room, he has bench pressed 505 pounds

I tend to think MOS:NOFORCELINK applies in these cases. I.E: you should be able to figure out meanings frok the hook. I'll leave the suggestions for BF11's approval. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 00:22, 31 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@AirshipJungleman29: Well, I'm not sure printability and offline reading are as important a use for the main page as an article for NOFORCELINK to apply to DYK hooks (after all, DYK rules and article P&Gs are different sometimes), but we should take that to WT:DYK. Still, thank you. I'll let Beanie decide on the hooks. ミラP@Miraclepine 00:52, 31 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm fine with any of the proposed alt hooks. BeanieFan11 (talk) 03:24, 31 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
