Comment: I nominated the game's expansion, Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne, for GA as well. If that nomination gets reviewed in a timely manner, this could be a double DYK nomination for game and expansion. Regards So Why 10:27, 15 August 2018 (UTC)

Article became a GA on August 15, it seems. Needless to say, the article looks of good quality. I like a lot of the suggested hooks, and have a personal fondness for ALT3, which balances the niche aspect better than ALT2 does. The original and ALT4 are also fairly good. You were successfully involved with the DYK process of Mario Alberto Peña, so QPQ is done. I think ALT3 is ready ~Maplestrip/Mable (chat) 18:40, 17 September 2018 (UTC)
