• ... that Juno is a human Martian in the video game Overwatch 2?

  • Comment: Created this as redirect back in July. Kung Fu Man converted out of redirect earlier this week, and we have both added to it since then. Will complete QPQ soon. Soulbust (talk) 20:15, 16 March 2025 (UTC)

Converted from a redirect by Kung Fu Man (talk) and Soulbust (talk). Number of QPQs required: 1. Nominator has 40 past nominations.

• No copyright violations or any issues. The article is well-sourced and long enough. As soon as QPQ has been done this will be good to go. Well done! DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 21:30, 17 March 2025 (UTC)
  • Don't want to rain on anyone's parade, but this seems like a WP:DYKFICTION violation. Bremps... 18:29, 18 March 2025 (UTC)
    • I forgot about the WP:DYKFICTION limitation (one of the most inexplicably goofy and unnecessary restriction on Wikipedia, imo). So that does rule out ALT0, I believe. That said ALT1 should be fine here? It says an in-game skin gives her the look of a character from a different media franchise. I'm sure at the very least, the ALT1 hook can at least be tweaked to stay within the guideline. Soulbust (talk) 19:20, 18 March 2025 (UTC)
      • I did not actually see ALT0 as DYKFICTION but I understand why it could be seen as that. I think ALT1 is best to use as it definitely is not in universe and will attract more readers' attention. Please ping me when QPQ has been done so I can approve this and then another edit can move this to the queue.DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 21:10, 18 March 2025 (UTC)
        • @DaniloDaysOfOurLives: @Soulbust: ALT1 requires knowledge of Ochaco Uraraka, and isn't very interesting even to someone who knows who that character is. How about this:

ALT3: ... that the Overwatch character Juno was praised for her ability to reward players for having sound game sense?

Best, Tenpop421 (talk) 23:00, 18 March 2025 (UTC)

I feel like a lot of DYK blurbs require knowledge of something else, or can be argued as such. I think ALT1 can be tweaked to broaden it to a "character from the anime My Hero Academia" or just remove the character's name so it can just read "that the Overwatch character Juno received a skin that made her look like a character from an anime". Either way, it's pretty interesting to me I feel, though all of this is inherently subjective. Your ALT3 suggestion is fine with me for what it's worth. Soulbust (talk) 20:59, 19 March 2025 (UTC)

• @Soulbust: As it has been several days since the nomination yet a QPQ has not yet been given, the nomination will be closed within 24 hours if a QPQ is not completed and provided. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 03:29, 20 March 2025 (UTC)

QPQ technically completed at Jeep ducking. Also jeez it's been 4 days since the nom, and if I nominated the article today, it would still be within the 7 day period after it was created out of a redirect. If I need to review another nom (since someone got to the Jeep ducking nom very shortly before I did) let me know. Soulbust (talk) 14:47, 20 March 2025 (UTC)

Please read WP:QPQ: Your QPQ review should be made before or at the time of your nomination. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 14:51, 20 March 2025 (UTC)

Not my first time doing this. I've read it. There's always (seemingly) been a culture of grace and understanding with the DYK section, or one that is imo relaxed to a degree that the nom wouldn't be closed in half a week if the nominator made an explicit statement that they'll complete the QPQ soon. I did the QPQ review yesterday, so within 3 days. That's pretty soon to me. Wikipedia isn't the only thing I can or do give my attention to. And even when I'm locked in on Wikipedia, there's a lot of things on here that I like to edit. Again, QPQ's done for this one. Let me know if I need to review another one, given the context I gave above. Soulbust (talk) 15:09, 20 March 2025 (UTC)

Hi @Soulbust: to clarify, I don't think Jeep ducking would count as QPQ, as someone else got there first, but the good faith attempt is appreciated and your nom shouldn't be closed soon for lack of QPQ. Best, Tenpop421 (talk) 15:11, 20 March 2025 (UTC)

@Tenpop421: Gotcha. I'll find another one to review in a moment. Soulbust (talk) 15:20, 20 March 2025 (UTC)

@DaniloDaysOfOurLives: QPQ completed at Template:Did you know nominations/Antennacanthopodia. Soulbust (talk) 16:58, 21 March 2025 (UTC)

Since QPQ has been done this is ready to go. ALT3 (though it should be ALT2 I think) and SoulBust's amende ALT0 are both good to go in my opinion. DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 17:25, 21 March 2025 (UTC)

Will get to this soon. Jaguar (talk) 15:28, 21 June 2025 (UTC)

Lead

• " who first appeared in the 2022 video game Overwatch 2" - I thought it was released in 2023?
• "A person of Chinese Singaporean heritage" - she's a woman, is she not?
• "and comes to earth seeking to help the colony" - capitalise Earth, and Earth is considered a 'colony'?
• "Juno's in-game mechanics have also been well received" - link game mechanics

Body

• "Juno Teo Minh is a medic introduced in the 2022 first-person shooter Overwatch 2" - ditto, unless I am misunderstanding
• "In Overwatch, Juno is classified as a Support-class character" - link to 'support hero', like in the lead
• "Once full the ability can be activated to create a vertical area" - missing comma

Overall this article is well written, comprehensive, and well sourced. Once those minor comments are out of the way I'll be keen to get this promoted. Jaguar (talk) 15:37, 21 June 2025 (UTC)

Should be all fixed!--Kung Fu Man (talk) 15:51, 21 June 2025 (UTC)

Excellent. GA it is! Jaguar (talk) 16:06, 21 June 2025 (UTC)
