  • Comment: I will do QPQ in a day. I prefer ALT 0 & 1. I credit two editors (Patriarca12 and Mdaniels5757) for helping to improve this article to GA-status because of their resourcefulness and assistance. A further explanation can be found on the GA review page. I wish for them also to share this DYK credit, if possible.

Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Rampage (roller coaster); consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

• New enough GA. QPQ has been done. ALT0, ALT1, and ALT2 all check out (and yes, I can see the NewsBank refs). No textual issues. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 05:31, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
