This is my third DYK nomination, so no QPQ (yet). Thanks to Epicgenius for the hook idea! —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 06:36, 13 December 2023 (UTC)

• I'm a new reviewer and would like a second opinion:
  • WP:DYKNEW: OK, Talk:Capitol Hill mystery soda machine/GA1 on Dec 12.
  • WP:DYKLEN: OK, 3,392 characters.
  • WP:DYKCITE: OK, some sources are small-ish local media, which I think is OK given the topic.
  • WP:DYKTAG: OK, just GA'ed and no edit war.
  • WP:DYKHOOKCITE: the source says "A rapidly shifting landscape has thrown a Capitol Hill staple, a mysterious and maybe haunted soda machine typically chained up outside Broadway Locksmith, for a loop. [...] Then, it up and disappeared back in June, leaving a sticker that read simply, “went for a walk.”" (This other source, of higher quality, says the same thing). This 2023 source confirms the end of the hook ("never returned").
  • WP:DYKINT: 100%, fun story!
  • WP:DYKMOS: OK, 106 characters.
  • WP:DYKIMG: OK, only one image, File:Coke machine on E. John St. in Capitol Hill, Seattle (2014).JPG, CC-BY-SA.
  • Wikipedia:QPQ: OK, not needed
  • Wikipedia:DYKCRIT: Overall, everything looks good to me.

Thanks for the review, A455bcd9, and for going above and beyond with the source check! —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 14:48, 13 December 2023 (UTC)

• • Initial review had it right: this is good to go. Nice work all. @A455bcd9: please feel welcome to use this review as a QPQ. @TechnoSquirrel69: I have moved some of your comments to be in appropriate chronological order and to not be beyond the exclusion area at the bottom of this template. Again, great work. Best, ~ Pbritti (talk) 20:36, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
