Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Effective accelerationism; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
- @Jenny8lee, Edelsmann, and WatkynBassett: This article contains multiple maintenance templates. I will review this when they are resolved.--Launchballer 09:55, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
- @Launchballer: Thank you for taking the time! Yesterday I made an effort to address the various templates and incorporate more reliable sources. I hope that the concerns are now addressed, but to err on the safe side it is probably best to wait a few more days and see if further concerns are raised. If more substantial concerns are raised, I would unfortunately fold this nomination because I personally have no capacity to deal with contention and unnecessary conflict right now.

- Long enough, new enough. No valid copyright concerns, no maintenance templates found, not seeing any neutrality issues but I'll probably take another look in a few days just in case. QPQ done. The hook is sourced to the New York Times and WP:BUSINESSINSIDER; the former is paywalled, while Insider, as well as WP:FORBES and WP:TECHCRUNCH, are all yellow on WP:RSP, and I'd want to know what makes them reliable.--Launchballer 16:20, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for your work tackling this difficult nomination:
- The NYT article can be accessed via the archive-link provided in the article.
- WP:FORBES explains that Forbes is reliable if the article is written by a staff member. This is the case here ("By Emily Baker-White, Forbes Staff").
- WP:TECHCRUNCH seems reliable to me in this case, because the article is written by the Editor In Chief of TechCrunch+ and not by a random contributor. Furthermore, no COI was apparent so it seems that policy is fulfilled here.
- WP:BI is always difficult: The author of the article is listed as a "Senior Technology Reporter" so probably a staff member which weights favorably. I saw no COI and the last RFC on BI leaned a tiny bit in favor of it being a bit more reliable lately. So in total, I also consider this source to be valid. But happy to discuss. All the best!

Good enough for me. I forgot to say that the hook was both short enough and interesting in my earlier review. Let's roll.--Launchballer 09:48, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
WatkynBassett the hook is somewhat flat in the current high demand for spots at WT:DYK, and that isn't likely to get the reader to click on the article, IMO. A better hook would be appreciated. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 01:52, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
- @AirshipJungleman29: What do you consider flat about it? For Launchballer and me it seemed fine. I struggle a bit with investing more time in this, as this drive-by nomination of mine has taken up much more energy than any other nomination of mine beforehand (it should be fun, shouldn't it?). Do you prefer this ALT1: ... that adherents of effective accelerationism believe that technological progress is a solution for poverty and war?
