  •   The article meets DYK requirements and a QPQ has been done. No close paraphrasing was found and the hook facts are cited inline. My preferred hook is some variant of ALT2. However, reading through the article and the Crikey source, there isn't so much "confusion" as to disagreement over the intent of the song. As far as I can tell, the song was created not really to be propaganda, but to be a top hit. It was also satirical, and yet it did end up being used as propaganda (seemingly unintentionally). Thus, rather than there being "confusion" over the song's intentions, it may instead be worth noting that it was created not to be a propaganda song, it was instead created to be a chart-toping hit.

As for ALT1, I suppose it's a usable hook, but due to the conversion issues with the exact amount it may be worth simply omitting how much the bet was altogether. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 00:56, 26 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
@Narutolovehinata5: Thanks for the suggestions, I've reworded ALT1 and ALT2. --benlisquareTCE 08:26, 26 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
@Benlisquare: Thank you. This is almost ready to go. The article just needs a footnote or some explanation regarding the discrepancy between the $200 and $300 figures. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 08:35, 26 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
@Narutolovehinata5: Done. --benlisquareTCE 11:02, 26 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
  Thank you. I have no particular preference between ALT1 and ALT2 so I will leave the final decision to the promoter. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 11:05, 26 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
