Improved to Good Article status by Davest3r08 (talk). Self-nominated at 14:07, 15 March 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Geogaddi; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
Article was promoted to GA and the nomination was put in at the proper time. Article is within policy. The only issue here are the hooks, neither of which are of any interest and both of which make a tenuous connection to the number of the beast that isn't supported by the sources. I note that the article itself does not wiki-link to that page. Sometimes a number is just a number, and neither source specifically connects the megabyte size and CD length to the number of the beast. The length of a CD and the megabyte downloads is not particularly interesting. Please propose a better hook.4meter4 (talk) 18:02, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
