    • Comment: QPQ not needed this is my third submission. The hooks could be rewritten if necessary I think they're quite good though

Improved to Good Article status by OlifanofmrTennant (talk) and Kailash29792 (talk). Nominated by OlifanofmrTennant (talk) at 05:43, 8 February 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Beebo the God of War; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

  • This isn't a review but a comment, but I would suggest dropping ALT1 per WP:DYKFICTION (a hook about a work of fiction has to be primarily about the real world), and also because it seems very specialist and may not appeal to non-fans. Personally I think ALT2 is the best hook among the three proposals but I will let the reviewer decide. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 13:15, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
    I feel as this isnt the case as it talks about the character being recast. Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 06:19, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
    The character wasn't recast; Combs had appeared in an earlier episode as the younger Martin Stein, and in this episode an attempt was made to change the future by warning said younger Stein...which he refused to allow. BlueMoonset (talk) 18:53, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

Article is long enough (7851 characters) and long enough (nominated on the same day it was promoted to GA; sorry it took so long for someone to review). Well sourced, though I'm not a fan of citing Amazon.com as a source (ref 43) – could we not just delete that since there already is another source for that claim? Earwig finds no apparent copyvio. Article overall seemed tidy and accessible. No QPQ is required. This leaves the hooks. Agree that ALT2 is best but would prefer we find another word or expression to replace "knock-off" which has quite a different connotation compared to "inspired by" (which is what it says in the source and in the article). Regarding ALT0, seems like a word is missing (preposition "of" before "Beebo"). ALT1 sounds very clunky and uninteresting to me; perhaps there is something there but having the same character played by different actors happens all the time. Anyway @OlifanofmrTennant: Could you propose some alternative wording for ALT2? Cielquiparle (talk) 00:22, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
@Cielquiparle: added ALT4 as slighly modified wording with the same source. Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 18:23, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
@OlifanofmrTennant: I appreciate that you are trying to use "knock-off" and "parody" in place of "inspired by", but to me you are adding some meaning into the hook that was not in the original source (which just said "inspired by"). The complete sentence in the first source you cite (ComicBook.com) is For those perhaps not familiar, Beebo debuted in Legends' Season 3 midseason finale as a sort of Tickle Me Elmo-inspired toy transported to the time of the Vikings where he was worshipped as a god.. The second source (Entertainment Weekly) says, For the uninitiated, Beebo is a cute Tickle-Me Elmo-like toy and the zany time-traveling superhero dramedy's breakout character.

@Cielquiparle: added ALT4 as slighly modified wording with the same source and striked out the 2 and 3. Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 03:30, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
Pass. ALT4 is best. ALT0 is second choice, though I would prefer to insert the word "of" after "production" if you are using that one. Cielquiparle (talk) 06:43, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
