Giorgio de Stefani

(

)

... that 1932 French Championships runner-up Giorgio de Stefani almost reinstated tennis to the programme of Olympics as an IOC member in 1966 when his initiative was vetoed due to technical errors?

ALT1:... that 1932 French Championships runner-up Giorgio de Stefani was an ambidextrous tennis player meaning he could use even two racquets simultanously, until it got officially banned in 1931?

The article, a five-fold expansion, is new enough and long enough. Neither of the proposed hooks is properly referenced. The article has several tags which it would be good to sort out before this appears in DYK. What about using:

ALT2 ... that 1932 French Tennis Championships runner-up Giorgio de Stefani was an ambidextrous player?

What's wrong with this reference for the original first hook? It covers everything that is stated in the sentence. Lajbi ^{Holla @ me • CP} 16:03, 12 October 2012 (UTC)

Well, I don't see that reference (in Italian) in the part of the article that refers to his ambidexterity. But your reference 44 does largely cover the hook facts. However the original reference is also unsatisfactory because it is ungrammatical. Here is another suggestion:

ALT3 ... that 1932 French Tennis Championships runner-up Giorgio de Stefani was ambidextrous but was banned from using two rackets, one in each hand?

However you consider it better it's fine for me. Lajbi ^{Holla @ me • CP} 10:35, 13 October 2012 (UTC)

Going for ALT3. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:49, 13 October 2012 (UTC)
