5x expanded by LunaEatsTuna (talk). Self-nominated at 04:23, 1 June 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Micronations: The Lonely Planet Guide to Home-Made Nations; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

  • @LunaEatsTuna: some issues: (1) Since BLDGBLOG is a blog, could you explicitly attribute that the information for that paragraph is from Sellars being interviewed by BLDGBLOG, instead of writing it in Wiki-voice; (2) I don't really like that the hook mentions "Empire of the United States" which I can't find mentioned as part of the book anywhere on the Internet, which indicates that it is not very interesting, could you replace that with another one that at least appears in a Google Search? starship.paint (exalt) 14:42, 1 June 2023 (UTC)
  • Thanks for the review! I think the first issue should be addressed. As for an alt hook, how about the Kingdom of Lovely or the Republic of Kugelmugel? They appear to be much more noteworthy and their names remain fairly intriguing.
ALT1 approved, LunaEatsTuna - new enough, long enough; then according to all the online sources that I could check - adequately sourced , neutral, free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing; hook is AGF cited to the book itself, and is definitely interesting. starship.paint (exalt) 12:55, 2 June 2023 (UTC)
