Improved to Good Article status by Gabriel Yuji (talk). Nominated by Narutolovehinata5 (talk) at 06:30, 8 February 2018 (UTC).

  • Absolutely love the first hook, it's absolutely terrific. I know that Gabriel is going to suggest more, but the first one is approved pending a fix for the close paraphrasing paragraph-- don't think it's a full on copyvio but should be fixed. Linked below in the DYK checklist. Nomader (talk) 19:30, 8 February 2018 (UTC)


General: Article is new enough and long enough

Policy compliance:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.

Overall: It's a close call here, but there is a flag for one of the paragraphs (link to the light paraphrasing is here: [3]). Should be fixed before going onto DYK, but its borderline. I'll approve as soon as it's done. Also, I absolutely *love* the first hook, which is why I was drawn to review it so quickly, should definitely stick with that. All the sources check out and the GA is in time. Nomader (talk) 19:30, 8 February 2018 (UTC)

Considering it's Gabriel Yuji who's the primary article contributor and not I, maybe it would be better for him to work on it. He hasn't edited in a few days but maybe he's just been a little busy. If doesn't edit soon, I'm willing to help out in his stead. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 23:17, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
Reworded that paragraph. I think the hook is good, although something about it being an economy-inspired anime based on the 2008 financial crisis would be a nice hook too. Gabriel Yuji (talk) 01:05, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
Thanks for editing-- the first hook is now approved. Feel free to suggest an alt, although I think the simplicity of the Lehman Brothers line will make it really stand out. Great work too! Nomader (talk) 15:43, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
