 * I literally took a double-take at this nomination because I noticed "poop" in ALT1 (childish, I know) and "YouTube" (something I quite enjoy. Anyhow, I'll do this review. Sounds interesting... epicgenius (talk) 18:14, 11 October 2016 (UTC)

So far, I am liking all these except ALT3, which is sourced to r/IAmA. While the account is verified, I have some problem with sourcing a DYK hook to a social media site, even if the account is verified to him. (Not that it's unreliable in this manner, just that maybe DYK admins don't want to put a hook on the main page that is sourced to reddit.) Otherwise, so far so good. epicgenius (talk) 18:14, 11 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Oops, I forgot it's not obvious the review is good to go. Symbol confirmed.svg G.T.G. epicgenius (talk) 22:45, 11 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg ALT1 looks good for a quirky slot, but where's the inline cite? Yoninah (talk) 14:05, 18 October 2016 (UTC)
 * please add the inline cite for ALT1 to the article. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 01:24, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg I came by again to promote something else, and see that ALT2 is sourced to a YouTube video uploaded by the subject. Yoninah (talk) 22:57, 2 November 2016 (UTC)
 * The inline cite for ALT1 has been added to the article, and ALT2 was not uploaded by the subject - it is a secondary source uploaded by an informational YouTube channel that is not affiliated with Vsauce.  any other issues? Neegzistuoja (talk) 08:44, 28 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Yoninah, how do things stand now? BlueMoonset (talk) 16:15, 28 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Symbol voting keep.svg I am unable to view the YouTube video for ALT1, although I see some of the content in the accompanying text. I'll go ahead and approve this AGF, cited inline. Rest of review per Epicgenius. ALT1 good to go. Yoninah (talk) 19:07, 28 November 2016 (UTC)
