• I DID NOT KNOW ... that commentate is a word. Thanks for enhancing my vocabulary! EEng (talk) 05:21, 18 November 2014 (UTC)

I change the mishap :)--BabbaQ (talk) 14:30, 19 November 2014 (UTC)

You misunderstood. Commentate really is a word. EEng (talk) 15:31, 19 November 2014 (UTC)

LOL, OK yes I thought it was a right word but not appropriate here. But OK, I agree that commentate is a word that should be used more often :) cheers.--BabbaQ (talk) 15:34, 19 November 2014 (UTC)

Thought it might be more interesting to include the events:

ALT1: ... that Swedish sports journalist Arne Hegerfors (pictured) commentated at both the basketball final at the 1972 Olympic Games and the Heysel Stadium disaster for Sveriges Television?

ALT2: ... that Swedish sports journalist Arne Hegerfors (pictured) had a contract offer from OGC Nice before a knee injury ended his football career.

• I admittedly don't speak Swedish, but I don't see mention at the citation No. 6 "Hegerfors slutar på tv - föräras eget program" regarding basketball at the 1972 Olympics. There is mention of US-Russia match in ice hockey in the 1980 Olympics. Perhaps I'm missing something? I used Google translate.—Bagumba (talk) 10:15, 23 November 2014 (UTC)

• You were right. I have fixed the issue. Thanks,--BabbaQ (talk) 11:00, 23 November 2014 (UTC)

@Soman: As the original reviewer, could you recheck those hooks? Fuebaey (talk) 14:01, 4 January 2015 (UTC)

Sure. Give me an 30 min or so, and I'll get back on this. --Soman (talk) 14:15, 4 January 2015 (UTC)

I reworked the references a little bit, and with these changes I'd say that both ALT1 and ALT2 would be ok, --Soman (talk) 14:49, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
