Agar.io

(

• Back to T:TDYK
• Article history

)

• ... that Agar.io was used in the June 2015 Turkish election as a medium of political advocacy?

• ALT1:... that the mobile versions of Agar.io, an action game, were downloaded more than ten million times during its first week?
• Reviewed: fewer than five DYK credits.

Improved to Good Article status by Esquivalience (talk). Self-nominated at 01:04, 13 October 2015 (UTC).

• Passed GAN on 11 October, nominated two days later.
• Article exceeds required character length.
• Hook is sourced and cited.
• However, for ALT1, how is it a symbol of support? For ALT2, what political reasons? I feel like something is missing from the first two which makes it a bit unclear. Can you clarify or amend your propositions please.  — Calvin999 19:09, 27 October 2015 (UTC)

For the "symbols of political support" hook, see [1]. But it could be ambiguous without context. I clarified the "political reasons" hook. Esquivalience ^t 02:49, 14 November 2015 (UTC)

I think the most interesting hook here would be one that combined ALTs 0 and 1:

• ALT2:... that action game Agar.io was used in the June 2015 Turkish election as a medium of political advocacy?

Great article, Esquivalience, congrats on the GA status. Good luck with the nomination. —GrammarFascist _contribs^talk 15:46, 16 November 2015 (UTC)

• GA passed on October 11, new enough when nominated. Long enough at 4763 characters. The article is neutral and adequately sourced. The hook is interesting, short enough, neutral, and verified to an online source. QPQ not required. Good to go. sst✈^discuss 05:29, 17 November 2015 (UTC)
