 * Pictogram voting keep.svg The article appears to meet all the requirements. I am surprised that Wikipedia did not have an article about this before. Are you sure that you cannot come up with a better hook, though? The article seems to be full of much more fascinating facts. Surtsicna (talk) 21:54, 6 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Pictogram voting keep.svg Could have been better if the inner details were hidden from the hook so as to create a suspense and eagerness. The article is good, good to be in DYK, provided the hook was better. Change it in such a way that it creates a vague image of the market-social relationships. bc-ndra (talk) 14:56, 7 February 2013 (UTC)
 * I am not sure what you mean, but anyone is welcome to propose a better hook. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 21:14, 7 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Symbol question.svg In addition to the hook issue, there is a ref that's a bare URL, which will need to be fixed. Maybe the hook could add the Lunning quote at the end for a bit more punch? BlueMoonset (talk) 18:55, 18 February 2013 (UTC)

 * ALT1: ... that hyperconsumerism, "a consumerism for the sake of consuming", refers to consuming goods for non-functional purposes?
 * Yes, that does sound more punchy. Surtsicna (talk) 20:41, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Would you like to approve it, then? It needs to be checked and given an approval tick, if appropriate. BlueMoonset (talk) 20:49, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Pictogram voting keep.svg I am sorry, I did not realise that was necessary. Here it is. Good luck! Surtsicna (talk) 21:47, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
