Edward Sinnott[edit]

• ... that Edward Sinnott and his crew, known as "The Seven Placentia Giants", carried their boat 145 km (90 mi) overland to compete in and win the Royal St. John's Regatta?

• The article is new, free of copyvio, and contains inline citations. It is short, but it reaches a bit over 1500 characters. Two of the sources are from books so I will AGF. QPQ is done. The hook is not properly formatted though, and it is not cited immediately after it is stated within the article. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Did_you_know/Hook_format Mchuedem (talk) 17:27, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

I have reformatted the hook - I think that it should be OK now. The hook itself summarizes the last paragraph which is sourced by the reference at the end of the paragraph. If you could suggest how to address the issue with respect to citing, then I will look after doing that. --Big_iron (talk) 20:57, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

I think it is okay now. The only thing I could think of is to cite the source after the second to last sentence of the last paragraph. But then again that could be redundant. Mchuedem (talk) 17:55, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
