• Reviewing this as a QPQ requirement. Howard the Duck (talk) 23:34, 29 August 2025 (UTC)

I just closed the nomination this was being used as a QPQ for, so this needs a full review.--Launchballer 21:53, 7 September 2025 (UTC)

• • I can't access the reference as linked, so I'd AGF that for now. Most of the article checks out, but the bit on couchsurfing seems to be WP:SELFPUB. Howard the Duck (talk) 00:11, 10 September 2025 (UTC)
    • Hope nobody minds, but I swapped out the source URL with a non-paywalled clipping. Howard the Duck, back to you. GreenLipstickLesbian💌🦋 00:34, 10 September 2025 (UTC)
      • Thanks! This confirms it. I envy US Americans with resources such as this. Howard the Duck (talk) 00:39, 10 September 2025 (UTC)
• Full review still needed on this nomination. BlueMoonset (talk) 16:21, 16 September 2025 (UTC)

@Chetsford: Long enough, new enough. QPQ is complete and Earwig is clean. The MOS:OVERSECTIONing isn't severe enough to warrant {{too many sections}} (which still wouldn't be a DYK issue) but please reduce them anyway. I'd question the encyclopedicness of the hook and wonder what else you have.--Launchballer 22:19, 21 September 2025 (UTC)

thanks - added alt Chetsford (talk) 01:06, 22 September 2025 (UTC)

That's more my language, although I must ask for a longer quote from Fee (2016) as it's offline.--Launchballer 01:09, 22 September 2025 (UTC)

Launchballer I've now added the WP:QPARA to the Fee citation. Chetsford (talk) 03:11, 22 September 2025 (UTC)

Let's roll.--Launchballer 03:18, 22 September 2025 (UTC)
