  • Will review this. BeanieFan11 (talk) 01:08, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
  • (comment) Article is long enough and moved to mainspace recently enough. Earwig says "violation unlikely". Interesting hook that is well-cited and mentioned in the article body, although maybe mentioning that the post was fictitious could highlight the unusual aspect better?

I don't know if I'm allowed to edit the hook post-approval, but I just added the word "fictitious" per Chaotic Enby's suggestion. I hope that's OK. Di (they-them) (talk) 03:58, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
