  • Sorry, but to my understanding, linking from the Main Page to userspace is not allowed. WP:WAWI, part of the MoS, says that links to Wikipedia should be treated as external links, so linking to a user page in DYK would be the same as linking to an external site. This makes sense — userspace is not part of the encyclopedia proper, and to maintain neutrality in the encyclopedia proper, we should not be giving any advantage to ourselves over other online spaces. {{u|Sdkb}}talk 05:02, 4 November 2022 (UTC)

Alright then, removed the userpage link. Onegreatjoke (talk) 16:49, 4 November 2022 (UTC)

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.

Overall: @Czar, nice work on this short yet good-quality article! GAs covering Internet culture are gemstones; we could always use more of them. I have a preference for ALT1, although I'd switch up the sentence structure to "... that Jason Moore is another believer?" which IMO is even hookier. It's up to y'all whether the username will be better off capitalised or not. ‍ ‍ Your Power 🐍 ‍ 💬 "What did I tell you?"

  • ALT2: ... that Jason Moore is another believer?
  • ALT3: ... that Jason Moore and other Wikipedia editors curated the entry about the January 6 United States Capitol attack in real time?
  • Added ALT2 per the review and ALT3 per my talk page. I lean towards ALT2 as the hookiest. fyi @Your Power czar 14:07, 5 November 2022 (UTC)
    • Looks good to me, @Czar My personal pick would also be ALT2. ‍ ‍ Your Power 🐍 ‍ 💬 "What did I tell you?"

      I think it would be misleading to lowercase Moore's username, as that's not the way he styles it. {{u|Sdkb}}talk 21:56, 5 November 2022 (UTC)
      Unless the norms have changed recently, the point of DYK has always been to take some artistic license to make some aspect of the article interesting (hook-y) to pique a general reader's interest. The lower case isn't disingenuous in this sense. If we can't link the userpage for style reasons, this would be my preference to an otherwise drier hook. czar 01:39, 6 November 2022 (UTC)
