Lil Uzi Vert
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
  • Cited:  
  • Interesting:  
Image: Image is freely licensed, used in the article, and clear at 100px.
QPQ: Done.

Overall:   Recent GA article looks mostly well sourced and pretty balanced. The picture is free and in the article, it's clear enough imo at 120 px but it would be nice if there was something clearer available. I donated a QPQ. Both hooks are cited and interesting, although one about the diamond implant might do even better with viewers. One thing that jumped out at me is that the ref for the hook just describes it as a grocery store, but the Wikipedia article specifies that it was a Bottom Dollar store. Is there a source for it being Bottom Dollar?? BuySomeApples (talk) 07:21, 27 June 2023 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for the review and QPQ, BuySomeApples. I added a cite for Bottom Dollar to the article. Here's an alt hook and an alternate picture for the promotor's consideration.
ALT2: ... that Lil Uzi Vert (pictured) had a 10-carat pink diamond, reportedly worth $24 million, implanted in their forehead?

Thank you for the changes and the new hook/photo @MaranoFan: nice work! I think this nom is ready, I'll leave the hook and photo selection to the promoter. BuySomeApples (talk) 02:39, 29 June 2023 (UTC)Reply


Birthyear

edit

They (the rapper), a primary source, tweeted on 28 July 2021: "Wait wtf I’m turning 26??? My mom found my birth certificate" Then, in a HotNewHipHop article from the same day: "Lil Uzi Vert’s birthday has already been updated on Wikipedia, stating that he was born on July 31, 1995 instead of 1994." Looking at reliable third-party sources, most (also after July 2021?) say 1994, some 1995. Isn't it more accurate to write in our article that his birthyear is unclear? Or, "either 1994 or 1995"? With a footnote that explains the situation. --Talky Muser (talk) 15:30, 21 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Birth year should be 1994 not 1995 195.205.9.140 (talk) 21:02, 8 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

  Not done for now: The article mentions them discovering their birth year to be 1995 and not 1994. Do you have sources that could corroborate that the original year is correct? The age seems to come from their tweet, and I’m inclined to agree that it might not be reliable, but it has been re-reported in various sources, so it would help to have sourcing for changes to be made.
