Improved to Good Article status by Chidgk1 (talk). Self-nominated at 15:57, 10 July 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Oil in Turkey; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
- Comment: @Chidgk1: you need to review one nomination for every article you nominate, so you do need to do another QPQ for this nomination. Template:Did you know nominations/Climate change in Puerto Rico was reviewed and then rereviewed, so there is no reason to not count it as a nomination. TSventon (talk) 16:35, 10 July 2023 (UTC)

@Chidgk1: Good article, but i'm not exactly a fan of the hook. Could a better one be made? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Onegreatjoke (talk • contribs) 20:25, 22 August 2023 (UTC)

- @Chidgk1: Maybe expand on the extra heavy because just saying Extra Heavy makes no sense. Onegreatjoke (talk) 00:58, 11 September 2023 (UTC)
- I am hoping that making no sense will intrigue people to click it as I thought that was the point of a hook. I thought a hook was supposed to be clickbait. Chidgk1 (talk) 06:07, 11 September 2023 (UTC)
- There's somewhat of a difference if a fine line between a hook that is intentionally vague to encourage people to read, and a hook that is so vague that it makes no sense and thus drives away readers. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 09:27, 12 September 2023 (UTC)

- @Onegreatjoke: I assume that many readers will be American and many Americans know the superhero - of course ALT2 might make no sense on first reading but turns out to be grammatically and factually correct Chidgk1 (talk) 16:15, 28 September 2023 (UTC)
@Onegreatjoke: does this new hook satisfy your concerns? Z1720 (talk) 16:38, 21 October 2023 (UTC)
Approving hook Alt2. I think the play on words and the possible confusion with the superhero is what makes this hook "hooky"; somewhat in the vein of the type of hooks we run on April fools day. For me this is a good hook for this particular article which is on a relatively dry topic. The hook fact is accurate and verifiable to the cited source. Article is within policy, and the nomination was made in the proper window. Hook alt2 can be promoted.4meter4 (talk) 21:29, 24 October 2023 (UTC)
