Original hook is 212 characters. I have proposed ALT1, which removes 2 words from the original hook.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 22:21, 10 June 2014 (UTC)

3 of the four articles qualify with a May 24 creation date and all 4 qualify for May 25 creation or expansion dates. All articles are over 4000 characters, which easily exceeds the 1500 character minimum.--22:25, 10 June 2014 (UTC)

Tim Rogers (journalist) is adequately sourced to support the hook and seems to be free of copyvios and within MOS standards.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 22:59, 10 June 2014 (UTC)

Ziggurat and Videoball both need to mention Super Mario and the issue of the hook for the hook to be valid. Action Button Entertainment is probably O.K. without the mention as long as the other articles have it.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 00:48, 11 June 2014 (UTC)

Sounds good. Thanks for the review. I'll add those, but I'm waiting for Rogers to send some free use in-game assets anyway so we can hold for that czar ♔ 01:51, 11 June 2014 (UTC)

Do you mean free pictures?--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 04:20, 11 June 2014 (UTC)

Yep czar ♔ 11:42, 11 June 2014 (UTC)

Czar, any news on this? We don't want to hold it forever (get me, acting like the High Empress of DYK) Belle (talk) 09:33, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

@Bellemora, yep—I had contacted him at a busy time so it's been slow going. I sent a reminder early last weekend and I'm still waiting on an OTRS hangup on my alternative images so if I don't get a response in the next few days we can just move ahead without it (after I make TTT's fixes). Thanks for checking, High Empress of DYK. I am not worthy czar ♔ 12:51, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

So I heard back—he's just looking into some legal stuff before the OTRS goes through czar ♔ 01:19, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

It's fine to run the hook without the picture, I guess. He's been dragging his feet and this nom's been up nearly forever in DYK-years. @TonyTheTiger, I made the corrections—want to take a look? czar ♔ 13:15, 13 July 2014 (UTC)
