Improved to Good Article status by Skyshifter (talk). Self-nominated at 17:32, 19 March 2024 (UTC).[reply]

Number of QPQs required: 1. Nominator has 5 past nominations.

Post-promotion hook changes will be logged on the talk page; consider watching the nomination until the hook appears on the Main Page.
General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Approved. I couldn't help myself. ;) Prefer ALT0, of course; I find it more interesting, and it's a classic tidbit of electronic music trivia. @Skyshifter: However, if we end up going with ALT1, the quote needs attribution to its writer unless sources indicate this became a widespread nickname for Robinson.

Thanks again :) Regarding ALT1, Reason also called him "a libertarian dubstep guy", though I don't know if that's sufficient. I don't mind either hook, though. Skyshiftertalk 23:46, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
