... that as a ten year old, 2012 Paralympic swimmer Michael Auprince chose to have his leg amputated?

The hook should explain why he chose to amputate his leg. Otherwise, it sounds like the decision was made without an actual rationale.--SGCM (talk) 15:07, 1 August 2012 (UTC)

... ALT1 that as a ten year old, 2012 Paralympic swimmer Michael Auprince chose to have his leg amputated because it was malformed as a result of a congenital birth defect?

Proposed alt. --LauraHale (talk) 20:38, 1 August 2012 (UTC)

There should be an "a" before congenital. Otherwise, size, sources, date, and hook look good.--SGCM (talk) 00:45, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

Added missing "a" to hook as per SGCM, to make life easier for the person assembling the prep areas. BlueMoonset (talk) 04:05, 31 August 2012 (UTC)

I disagree: Laura Hale's first hook was much stronger. The athlete made the choice as a ten-year old; the reader can click and figure out why. One would assume that there is always an "actual rationale", and this is part of the DYK game. 66.168.247.159 (talk) 04:08, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
