- I've added an image on the right, which could be used if ALT1 is promoted. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 04:50, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
Article is new and just barely long enough, by a margin of 17 bytes. Sourcing in the article looks good, and Earwig checks out. Image licensing looks alright as well. I don't love ALT0 (not quite interesting enough and lacks context), and ALT1 is not present in the article. QPQ is not required as nominator has 1 prior DYK nom.

- @PCN02WPS: I'll do some expansion later, so length shouldn't be an issue. I agree that the hooks aren't that good, so what about something like this: ALT2: " ... that unlike its 2D monochrome predecessor, Shapez 2 features 3D conveyer belts in space?" The source for ALT2 is the same Hardcore Gamer article. Alternatively, I could add the information in ALT1 to the article. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 14:20, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
New reviewer needed unless PCN02WPS returns. Z1720 (talk) 14:41, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
- sorry all, haven't spent much sustained time on WP recently. I still don't love this hook; it's set up like "monochrome" is going to be contrasted by something later in the hook (especially given it's linked) but nothing in the hook mentions the second iteration being multicolored at all. ALT2 also has the issue that it's not mentioned in the article as worded in the hook. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 20:42, 13 August 2024 (UTC)

- PCN02WPS Thanks for the ping. Yeah... ALT2 isn't that good either. The information in ALT1 is mentioned in the gameplay section, and I could reword it so that it's similar to the hook. Another possible hook (ALT3) could be "... that in later stages of the game Shapez 2, players will need to supply four thousand copies of the same shape every minute?" The source is this RPS review.

- @CanonNi: ALT3 is my favorite. But, again, it is not mentioned in the article. This is a necessity for DYK, see WP:DYKHFC. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 19:25, 16 August 2024 (UTC)
- @PCN02WPS: Sorry for the late reply; I was quite busy last week. Thanks for pointing the issue out. I'll add the information in ALT3 to the article now. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 10:55, 24 August 2024 (UTC)

I would like to note that the current image shown is from the original Shapez, and not Shapez 2. 64.39.209.163 (talk) 16:53, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
- @CanonNi: the fact in the article still does not match the hook. If the IP user above me is correct, the picture will probably need to be dropped or changed as well. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 14:57, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
- Also, looking again at the source, it seems as though this need for 4,000 shapes per minute is a result of this particular user's save file and is not necessarily an unavoidable requirement within the game. As such, I think ALT3 might be slightly misleading in its wording. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 15:00, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
