Overall: Recent enough, cited, with no plagiarism as far as I can see. My concerns are regarding the hooks themselves. They are too wordy and do not appear to be supported by the listed source. In fact, the listed source says that Beyer has 276 more points than Clark, not ten. However, speaking as someone who doesn't watch basketball, these hooks don't spark any interest in me. I don't care that one person performed better than another person, especially in basketball. I did notice an achievement that might spark immediate interest. Assuming this hasn't since become outdated, the hook could be something like, using the ESPN as a source:
User:Lazman321 are you living on a different planet than me. Clark is considered the most important female athlete in the world in some circles. Do you really think any hook would garner more interest than a connection to Clark. There are multiple sources in the article documenting that Clark finished with 3951 points, ten shy of Beyer. There are probably a few non-basketball fans that have not heard of Clark, but she seems to be the rage in the sports world. A hook saying she outscored the world's most important athlete has to have some non-trivial interest.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 08:29, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @TonyTheTiger: please include a citation which verifies the hook fact (Clark's score and Beyer's score) and not just part of it (Beyer's score). Lazman321 acted in good faith by going by your citation. Beyer's score is verified here and Clark's score here, which verify the hook by WP:CALC. Tenpop421 (talk) 18:08, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
