QPQ: - Not done
Overall: @PerfectSoundWhatever: Good article. Article is sourced and the hook is interesting. Just waiting on a QPQ now. Onegreatjoke (talk) 05:19, 11 December 2022 (UTC)
- Can't believe I forgot to sign my post. Onegreatjoke (talk) 05:19, 11 December 2022 (UTC)
- Alright, approving. Onegreatjoke (talk) 17:40, 15 December 2022 (UTC)
- Comment: I have checked this one out and it is ready to be promoted. Presently prep 3 has 4 male hooks, so it will have to wait. Bruxton (talk) 01:42, 25 December 2022 (UTC)
- @PerfectSoundWhatever, Bruxton, and RoySmith: I've pulled this from prep following a discussion at WT:DYK that identified a sourcing question – also, consensus on a hook should be achieved before repromotion. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 11:07, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
- Alright, I'll make a list of the current proposed hooks:
- ALT0 ... that Ludwig Ahgren's planned 24-hour livestream was postponed – so he continuously livestreamed for 31 days instead? source
- ALT1 ... that Ludwig Ahgren livestreamed for 31 days after his 24-hour livestream was postponed by his appendectomy? source
- ALT2 ... that Ludwig Ahgren grossed US$1,434,850 for continuously livestreaming his life for 31 days? source
- ALT3 ... that Ludwig Ahgren showered on camera during his 31-day continuous livestream? source
- ALT0 and 1 are similar. They are sourced on Upcomer, which is reliable based on the weak consensus at WP:VG/S, but ALT1 was objected since RoySmith beleived Upcomer isn't good enough for a BLP's medical history. ALT0 omits the medical aspect. Note that a video made by Ahgren confirms the appendectomy and that it was why he postponed the stream, which is complaint with WP:ABOUTSELF. The objection to ALT2 is that it is sourced on ScreenRant which, per WP:RSP, is
considered reliable for entertainment-related topics, but should not be used for controversial statements related to living persons
. I disagree what it sources (the amount of money he grossed) is controversial, especially since he shared the figure in a video. If a third party checks these hooks and finds that all of the sourcing issues are justified, I will look for new hooks afterwards. — PerfectSoundWhatever (t; c) 18:20, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
- @PerfectSoundWhatever, Onegreatjoke, and Theleekycauldron: Any updates on this? It's been over a month. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 14:52, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
- @Narutolovehinata5: I was under the impression a second reviewer is needed. — PerfectSoundWhatever (t; c) 02:34, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
- yeah, basically sitting pretty for the moment. I don't really have the bandwidth to deal with this at the moment, so a new reviewer for the hooks is probably needed. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 08:13, 13 February 2023 (UTC)

Image eligibility:
Overall: All four ALTs look good to me; they're all properly sourced and interesting. In my opinion, ALT2 and ALT3 are best; ALT1 and ALT0 are slightly less interesting then the other two. MyCatIsAChonk (talk) 17:49, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
- MyCatIsAChonk, did you take into consideration the discussion at WT:DYK mentioned above, which was quite extensive, and went into some sourcing issues? You don't explicitly say so. If not, then please do; otherwise, this will probably get pulled from prep a second time, which would be unfortunate. Thank you. BlueMoonset (talk) 16:00, 14 February 2023 (UTC)
- @BlueMoonset: I did ensure to take consideration of the discussion; most of the problems brought up there were addressed above by PerfectSoundWhatever, and the others were no longer relevant or have been fixed within the article. MyCatIsAChonk (talk) 00:18, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
