Date if creation is Ocotber 21, article is 1858 characters long, hook is 105, ninemsn ref seems fine for it, no copyvio/neutrality issues. Good to go. Lajbi Holla @ me • CP 15:55, 24 October 2012 (UTC)
I have problems with the hook. Clemons isn't developing research to find a cure for cancer, he's directly researching nanoparticles and a way to deliver them for targeted medical (drug) therapies: cancer is one application (and naturally the one picked up by a newspaper), but central nervous system damage seems to be the central one being investigated based on the university source. Saying his research is "to find a cure for cancer" is stretching things; besides, it's even more intriguing to bring nanotechnologies or nanoparticles in, especially since his research is specifically on nanoparticles.

ALT1 ... that Australian field hockey goalkeeper Tristan Clemons is developing research to using nanotechnology that may lead to finding a cure for cancer?
Alternative proposed. --LauraHale (talk) 23:54, 25 October 2012 (UTC)
- I did a little editing of the key sentence in the article, and have a different ALT to suggest that avoids the "developing research" wording:
- ALT2 ... that Australian field hockey goalkeeper Tristan Clemons is researching nanoparticles that could treat injuries and fight cancer? —BlueMoonset (talk) 00:39, 26 October 2012 (UTC)
Independent reviewer needed to approve hook. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:11, 26 October 2012 (UTC)
- I also agree to ALT2. Lajbi Holla @ me • CP 15:52, 26 October 2012 (UTC)
