I thoroughly enjoyed reading this article, although not quite enough to violate my policy of doing my QPQs oldest first. I will say that this article is being edited a lot and is probably not stable. For now, I recommend ALT0a: ... that McDonald's Vietnam was boycotted after appropriating a slogan by a recently deceased Chinese gamer?--Laun chba ller 15:47, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

- ALT1: ...that a Chinese gamer named Fat Cat tragically died by suicide after transferring a large sum of money to his girlfriend, who wished to end their relationship? — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheGreatPeng (talk • contribs)

I'd lose 'tragically' for concision, but I'll let a reviewer make that choice. Full review needed.--Laun chba ller 18:38, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

- ALT2: ...that when people ordered fast food takeout to commemorate Fat Cat's suicide, multiple restaurants didn't bother to include food in the deliveries?

Hooks must not contain redirects or contractions, although to be fair that's probably not far off the hook I would have suggested. For concision, I suggest ALT2a: ... that when people ordered fast food take-out to commemorate Fat Cat's suicide, multiple restaurants delivered empty packages?--Laun chba ller 08:20, 11 May 2024 (UTC)

I recommend ALT0a with image. TheGreatPeng (talk) 08:45, 11 May 2024 (UTC)
