- ALT2:... that Los Angeles streetwear fashion brand Advisory Board Crystals released a collaborative t-shirt with Wikipedia and rapper Lil Wayne?
- Comment: Multiple sources for each hook in the article.

- I should also note that this collaboration has long ago sold out, in case anyone was worried about DYK:NOT and promotion. The Flying Spaghetti Monster! 16:56, 28 January 2020 (UTC)
Looking to review this...:
- Article is new enough and long enough.
- The hook is interesting, but I'd suggest dropping the "and all profits went to the Wikimedia Foundation" part as a Lil Wayne X Wikipedia collaboration is interesting enough.
- The article needs work on making the relationship between Lil Wayne and Wikipedia clear. "The rapper had previously referenced Wikipedia in a promotional video for his 2018 album..." tells the reader nothing (and seems like trivia) unless it can be connected back to Advisory Board Crystals.
- Additional comment: Maybe add the company's logo to the infobox? Also, Tha Carter V should be italicized.

- Proposed ALT2, so this review may need a second opinion. Nice4What (talk · contribs) – (Don't forget to share a Thanks ♥) 04:45, 31 January 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks for your feedback, I'll take a look at some of that today. As for the logo, I'm not even sure the company has a set logo haha but I'll have a look. Thanks! The Flying Spaghetti Monster! 12:39, 31 January 2020 (UTC)
- From their Instagram and many of their shirt designs, I believe it's just these letters which could be uploaded to Wikipedia with no issue as it falls under the public domain. Nice4What (talk · contribs) – (Don't forget to share a Thanks ♥) 13:37, 31 January 2020 (UTC)
Problem with Lil Wayne fixed and logo added. Ready for a second review. Nice4What (talk · contribs) – (Don't forget to share a Thanks ♥) 18:11, 31 January 2020 (UTC)
Article is long/new enough, hooks are cited (strongly prefer ALT2 since it is short and sweet), no QPQ needed, no outstanding tags, article is stable, and I detected no copyright violations. Earwig is down for me at the moment but I checked 5 different sources and did not find any plagiarism. Please check my copyedits and feel free to make appropriate changes.
