Hi @Miminity: this article, created on 9 March, is new enough, long enough, well-sourced, and presentable. QPQ done. No copyvio or BLP issues. However, DYK tends to avoid hooks like this that portray an active company in a kind light, for WP:PROMO reasons. Did you have any other hooks in mind? Tenpop421 (talk) 18:03, 9 March 2025 (UTC)

@Tenpop421: Thanks for reviewing, If ever, can this be rephrased to be somewhat neutral sounding? Though, I'm still expanding the article later, so I might found one more. Warm Regards, Miminity (Talk?) (me contribs) 22:47, 9 March 2025 (UTC)

A positive review probably can't be rephrased to be neutral sounding. Ping me if you have any ideas. Best, Tenpop421 (talk) 22:54, 9 March 2025 (UTC)

@Tenpop421: how about this

ALT1: ... that QuizKnock uploaded a video of one of its members gargling liquid nitrogen as part of the quizzes? sources: RealSound original video

Hi @Miminity: it's alright, but a lot of youtube channels have similarly extreme challenges. Something unique about QuizKnock would be good (maybe contrasting this video with their quiz content?). Best, Tenpop421 (talk) 19:24, 10 March 2025 (UTC)

@Tenpop421: I'll just update this hook as I also think this is a bit out of context. Tell me if there is any other problems. But, here is another hook, I don't know how to rephrase it here is the text if you want "「QuizKnock」というクイズを専門としたメディアが他に類を見ないジャンルだったために、YouTube上でも先駆者がいない分野だった。そういった意味では、とても貴重な体験をさせていただいてます。"

ALT2: ... that QuizKnock was the first ever channel to specialized on quizzes on Japan? BuzzFeed Japan ( though per WP:BUZZFEED, this might not be a best hook.
ALT3: .... that QuizKnock created puzzle games for the Tokyo Imperial Palace? Source Warm Regards, Miminity (Talk?) (me contribs) 12:01, 11 March 2025 (UTC)

Thanks Miminity, I like ALT3 a lot. Hook is in article, cited, with foreign-language citation accepted in good faith. Good to go. Tenpop421 (talk) 17:16, 11 March 2025 (UTC)
