• Expanded x5 on the same day of nomination for DYK. The article meets reliable sources criteria and length, of course. Earwig shows no copivio issues. Hook is interesting and sourced; that said, @WikiOriginal-9:, may I ask you to reword the hook a bit or add a couple of words? Mainly because one of the sources, explicitly making reference to the 1,200 beer cans, says that they line the walls of a spare bedroom of Baumgartner's house. Besides, I understood from the same source that the beer cans are everywhere in his residence, and, lastly, he said "about" 1,200 beer cans. Do you think that you might reword that to make it strictly factual for the Portal? That said, QPQ is done and the article, once this is clarified, is good to go. Best.

  • Okay, the first source says "more than 1,200" so I'll revise it accordingly. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 19:29, 22 May 2026 (UTC)
