... that after each win, the Sacramento Kings light the beam? Source: https://www.nbcsports.com/bayarea/kings/kings-victory-beam-vivek-ranadive-tells-story-behind-purple-spectacle
- Reviewed: Endure and Survive
- Comment: It's still firmly Feb. 5 in my time zone, so the article is still within the one week eligibility period. Will complete QPQ soon.

Created by Soulbust (talk). Self-nominated at 00:29, 6 February 2023 (UTC). Note: As of October 2022, all changes made to promoted hooks will be logged by a bot. The log for this nomination can be found at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Light the Beam, so please watch a successfully closed nomination until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

Actually, at 7.75 days between creation and nomination (no time zone shenanigans!), this would fall outside the 7-day limit – but IAR, as is routine :) theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 01:01, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Haha true, I was just trying to make sure just in case anyone saw it as nominated on Feb 6, which would definitely be out of the one-week period. Soulbust (talk) 06:04, 13 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

QPQ is complete now. Soulbust (talk) 06:04, 13 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

General eligibility:

New enough: - Strictly speaking, this was over 7 days, but I am going to ignore this in light of Theleekycauldron's comment above.
Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall:

Earwig lights up on copyright, but it's more or less all properly attributed quotation of someone's utterances. Doesn't technically pass the 7-day criteria, but I'm fine to let it slide. Looks good to me. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 06:24, 20 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
