Number of QPQs required: 0. Nominator has less than 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.Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 21:19, 7 April 2024 (UTC).
New enough Good Article. The nominator is QPQ-exempt. ALT1 is fine as is. @Pokelego999: ALT0 needs a second call of the Iwata ref in the same sentence Morimoto programmed Mew into the game secretly as a prank amongst the staff just prior to its release in Japan.
for DYK purposes, even if it is already technically cited. No other issues. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 05:38, 9 April 2024 (UTC)- ALT0 is also now ready. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 00:08, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
