General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: ALT1 is most interesting, ALT0 is not catchy. Added some cats/made some ce edits. Whispyhistory has contributed 3 wikilinks to this article and Edwardx made a copyedit to the article so I have striken them as nominators. If they expand this article further, they can be considered co-nominators. ~riley (talk) 02:47, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

• Added wikilink to cryptocurrency in ALT1. ~riley (talk) 07:12, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

I believe that adding the source in the nomination is optional. It's in the article which I assume you have read. You are wrong about the first hook. It will have wide appeal. Philafrenzy (talk) 10:23, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

Source in the nomination is strongly encouraged and only takes a second of your time. "You are wrong" is definitely one way to lead into a response... Appeal/catchyness is relative and subjective. Although ALT0 is interesting, ALT1 is both interesting and relates to the reader - anyone that has owned a house can understand the stress of a high electricity bill. Just my 2 cents.. QPQ is now done, thanks to Whispyhistory. ~riley (talk) 17:14, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

I deliberately don't add them because they make the noms harder to read. Philafrenzy (talk) 18:11, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

P.S. I am reinstating Whispyhistory, I hope you don't mind but I think they have done enough now including providing the QPQ. I think they have earned a credit. Perhaps Edwardx will add more too. We should be generous in this area. Philafrenzy (talk) 18:42, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

• Hi, I came by to promote this, but you need a citation for the birthdate. According to footnote 2, he was 27 in 2013, which doesn't line up with being born in 1989. Yoninah (talk) 19:04, 24 December 2019 (UTC)

That piece was written in 2016 about a 27 year who did something in 2013. Philafrenzy (talk) 19:16, 24 December 2019 (UTC)

Founded in 2013 by 27-year-old Marco Streng means he was born in 1986. Yoninah (talk) 19:18, 24 December 2019 (UTC)

• OK, I found and added another cite for the birth year. Yoninah (talk) 19:21, 24 December 2019 (UTC)
