Article is new enough, long enough, and well referenced. The hook is short, interesting and verified with inline citations. Photo license is fine. Good to go. -Zanhe (talk) 23:55, 21 May 2012 (UTC)
The part of the hook that reads "was once suspended from basketball for a few games for swearing at a referee" is not verified by inline citations. The articles in question say she was suspended for five weeks, which frankly sounds worse and more intriguing—the number of games involved is not mentioned, and must be if it is to be characterized in the hook—and they furthermore say that the suspension was itself put on hold while it was being appealed, allowing her to play in an upcoming game, yet there is no source that says what eventually happened with the suspension, and how long it did last if it wasn't overturned (it might have been modified). Also, please have the height conversion template output "cm" rather than "centimetres" when you revise the hook; there's no need to use eleven characters rather than two.

- I'll see about finding out what happened to her ban. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:00, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
- Great. Thanks. I've just modified ALT1 to use convert's "ftin" parameter; I think it's a better result in feet and inches than with decimal feet. BlueMoonset (talk) 00:15, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
- Good point. I've added information about her ban. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:19, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
- Restoring tick: the ALT1 hook is now supported by a reliable source cited in line. Struck out original hook since ALT1 is more precise and uses better height unit translation. Made a small edit in the article to clarify a couple of ban details based on the new source. BlueMoonset (talk) 00:53, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
