  • As much hype as it got, there might be little that most people don't already know about Linsanity. Offering ALT1 below.—Bagumba (talk) 04:12, 28 April 2016 (UTC)
  • ALT1 ... that Jeremy Lin (pictured) and Jordan Clarkson were the first Asian Americans to start together at guard in NBA history?
  • @Zanhe: The image is a quite dated with him as a rookie. Perhaps the TIME portrait would be a better picture?—Bagumba (talk) 04:12, 28 April 2016 (UTC)
I personally like the 2010 photo better because it shows him on court, but the Time portrait works too and it shows his face better. I've added the Time photo here, the reviewer and/or promoter can decide which one to use. -Zanhe (talk) 04:19, 28 April 2016 (UTC)
  • This newly promoted GA is long enough and nominated soon enough. Either hook could be used as each is interesting and has an inline citation. Similarly, either image could be used as both have appropriate licenses. The article is neutral and my spot checks brought up no copyright issues. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:23, 12 May 2016 (UTC)
