- I like the first DYK idea, especially how the studio forced a protest to bring attention to the movie. It's also reasonably sourced. Yoshiman6464 ♫🥚 14:04, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
Approved ALT0, ALT1: Article is new enough (nominated the day it became a GA), long enough, well-cited to reliable sources, presentable, and with no policy issues detected (a relatively high Earwig score due to quotes from interviews, reviews, and soundtrack lists). QPQ waived. Hooks are formatted, of good length, cited in article and interesting (verified source for ALT1, AGF for offline source for ALT0). Good work! – Reidgreg (talk) 20:46, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
- BTW, the two non-bolded articles in ALT1, Richard Linklater and ZZ Top, have refimprove tags... it'd be nice if those were addressed before this ran, though it is not a requirement. – Reidgreg (talk) 20:46, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
- We may want to remove the extra links in ALT1 - lately we have had discussions about the extra blue links stealing views from the main article. Lightburst (talk) 17:06, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
