Article length, date and neutrality are good. Copyvio and close paraphrasing are not a problem. Referencing is thorough. Photo is public domain, confirmed through OTRS. Both hooks are good (too bad none are based on the quote "people who liked reading about fucking, would like drinking") but I like the top one best. Love the photo... makes me think drinking is not the only fun he's having... Binksternet (talk) 02:34, 2 September 2020 (UTC)

Hi, I came by to promote this. @Binksternet:, why do you say Copyvio and close paraphrasing are not a problem
? ALT0 is lifted from the quoted source! If we use it (which we should, because it's the better hook), it either needs to be in quotes or the words shifted around. Yoninah (talk) 20:49, 6 September 2020 (UTC)
- ALT2: ... that Jackie Summers (pictured) quit his corporate job to pursue a "lifelong dream of day-drinking professionally"?
- Oy! I checked the article for copyvio but the hook slipped past. How about ALT2 just above? I decided against writing "said he quit" for "quit", leaving the quote uncited. Valereee? Binksternet (talk) 21:00, 6 September 2020 (UTC)

- Sorry for the oversight, probably could just have tweaked ALT0 to insert the quotation marks as per ALT2. I don't like ALT2a because it sounds like we think he was serious; he was clearly making a joke. —valereee (talk) 13:02, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
- Sounds like we're going with ALT2. Binksternet (talk) 16:41, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
