- QPQ: Template:Did you know nominations/Al-Mujadila
Improved to Good Article status by AdrianGamer (talk). Nominated by TheSandDoctor (talk) at 19:09, 11 August 2017 (UTC).
@AdrianGamer and TheSandDoctor: GA in time, neutral, sourced. Needs a QPQ. Buying the tank is by far the most interesting of the three hooks, but the source doesn't say that they bought a tank to express gratitude. It says that they bought a tank and that they thanked people, but not that the buying the tank was part of thanking everyone. Can you rephrase the hook? This source has more information and might be of help. --Usernameunique (talk) 06:58, 24 August 2017 (UTC)
- @Usernameunique: Added ALT3. And added QPQ (thought I still had another 'free' one to go, my bad). --TheSandDoctor (talk) 07:09, 24 August 2017 (UTC)
- @TheSandDoctor: Yeah that's good! Just add the full quotation to the article and I'll approve it. Sorry, just assumed that you didn't write anything on the QPQ line because you hadn't done one yet, not because you don't have 5 yet. --Usernameunique (talk) 07:20, 24 August 2017 (UTC)
- @Usernameunique: No problem! I have actually only had 3 appear (in DYK section), but have one
approved waiting to and anotherawaiting review, so I thought I may as well add the QPQ line here andadded one to another DYK nom of mine awaiting reviewto the other one as well (I reviewed a couple DYK noms a while back). As for the full quote, what do you mean? The entire paragraph? Wouldn't that make it too long? Or do you just mean the following sentence after the currently quoted one ("Your enthusiasm and support have been astonishing.")? --TheSandDoctor (talk) 07:25, 24 August 2017 (UTC)- @TheSandDoctor: Anything that is quoted in the hook needs to appear in the article. The hook says "a massive tanks goes out to everyone who has supported the studio and its games throughout the past 16 years," but the bolded words aren't in the article. So you just need to add six words, not the entire paragraph. --Usernameunique (talk) 07:29, 24 August 2017 (UTC)
- @Usernameunique: Oh, now I get it.
Done, I added the rest of the quote and reference to the article. That makes much more sense now, thanks for the clarification. Sorry for the mix-up, (misread it as has) been a long day and should really head to bed (after midnight), but editing Wikipedia is so darn addictive!

@TheSandDoctor: Haha tell me about it! In the exact same boat as you right now. Thanks for the edits, nomination is all set. --Usernameunique (talk) 07:39, 24 August 2017 (UTC)
