Article is new enough, long enough, and within policy. The first two parts of the hook are verified, but I am having trouble understanding the last part of the hook. The wording is confusing. We need a new hook.4meter4 (talk) 15:27, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
- @4meter4: What I am trying to communicate is that, after she first entered the championship in 1962, there were only two years for the rest of her life that she did not win a state shooting championship. Can you think of a better way to word it? I also added a QPQ. BeanieFan11 (talk) 02:47, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
- @BeanieFan11 and 4meter4: ALT1 ... that after winning her state's skeet shooting championship in 1962, Rosemary Miller won a state shooting championship in all but two years for the rest of her life? Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 03:09, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

- @Narutolovehinata5 and 4meter4: I do think it adds some interest that the championship was one year after she first learned the sport. What about: ALT2 ... that Rosemary Miller won her state's skeet shooting championship one year after learning the sport, and then won a state shooting championship in all but two years for the rest of her life? Or something like that. BeanieFan11 (talk) 20:32, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
- I'm promoting ALT2; I don't think it needs a new review, as the additions were said to be "verified" above by 4meter4. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 15:35, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
