• ... that Carrie Johnson represented the U.S. at three consecutive Olympics (2004, 2008 and 2012) despite being diagnosed with Crohn's disease in 2003?

• ALT1 ... that Carrie Johnson represented the U.S. at three consecutive Olympics, despite being diagnosed with Crohn's disease in 2003?

5x expanded by Redfiona99 (talk). Nominated by Redfiona99 (talk) at 21:18, 13 March 2016 (UTC).

• This unreferenced BLP article had its prose expanded far more than two-fold on March 12, making it new enough. It is over 2000 characters, making it long enough. The article is written neutrally, has inline citations, and no copyvio issues. The hook is short enough, cited inline, and is interesting. No QPQ needs to be done, as this is only the nominator's second DYK submission. Looks good to go. Silverseren^C 00:07, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

• I've added an ALT 1 with "(2004, 2008 and 2012)" trimmed as it is self-evident, and more concise hooks are usually preferable. Edwardx (talk) 00:12, 17 March 2016 (UTC)

• @Redfiona99:, are you okay with this Alt proposal? Silverseren^C 06:08, 17 March 2016 (UTC)

• As long as the information is still clear for other users then yes. Red Fiona (talk) 12:14, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
• @Edwardx: I think the "2003" date at the end leaves it unclear that she won the Olympics after being diagnosed with Crohn's. I think you should write:
• ALT2: ... that Carrie Johnson represented the U.S. at three consecutive Olympics after being diagnosed with Crohn's disease in 2003?
• Or:
• ALT3: ... that Carrie Johnson represented the U.S. at three consecutive Olympics after being diagnosed with Crohn's disease? Yoninah (talk) 16:12, 22 March 2016 (UTC)

• I prefer ALT2 but they're both good. Red Fiona (talk) 02:02, 23 March 2016 (UTC)

• Readers should infer "after" from ALT1, but I'm happy with ALT2, which I also prefer to ALT3. Edwardx (talk) 10:28, 23 March 2016 (UTC)

• @Edwardx: could you supply the tick for ALT2? Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 11:40, 23 March 2016 (UTC)

• Thanks Yoninah. ALT2 is good to go. Edwardx (talk) 11:44, 23 March 2016 (UTC)
