Hyperconsumerism

[edit]
  • ... that hyperconsumerism refers to consuming goods for non-functional purposes?

  • The article appears to meet all the requirements. I am surprised that Wikipedia did not have an article about this before. Are you sure that you cannot come up with a better hook, though? The article seems to be full of much more fascinating facts. Surtsicna (talk) 21:54, 6 February 2013 (UTC)
  • Could have been better if the inner details were hidden from the hook so as to create a suspense and eagerness. The article is good, good to be in DYK, provided the hook was better. Change it in such a way that it creates a vague image of the market-social relationships. bc-ndra (talk) 14:56, 7 February 2013 (UTC)
  • In addition to the hook issue, there is a ref that's a bare URL, which will need to be fixed. Maybe the hook could add the Lunning quote at the end for a bit more punch? BlueMoonset (talk) 18:55, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
Yes, that does sound more punchy. Surtsicna (talk) 20:41, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
Would you like to approve it, then? It needs to be checked and given an approval tick, if appropriate. BlueMoonset (talk) 20:49, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
I am sorry, I did not realise that was necessary. Here it is. Good luck! Surtsicna (talk) 21:47, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
