Not a review; just a note that the nominated article must be shown in bold font in the hooks. Schwede 66 08:07, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that this is a very fascinating subject indeed. Always great to see a beloved story like Luocha haishi (whose article was written by yours truly ☺) being given new life. The article is new and long enough and neatly referenced. My preference is for a modified ALT2, e.g. "that nobody knows what the song "Luochahai City", which has been streamed 10 billion times, is about?" Can't believe I hadn't heard of this until recently. I've got to check the rest of his album out! KINGofLETTUCE 👑 🥬 00:19, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Can't think of a better person to review my article. Just commenting to say that I also prefer the modified ALT2 hook. Bremps... 19:01, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
