QPQ: Done.

Overall: Overall, nothing's noticeably wrong in the article. CopyVio detects a 54.0% possible copyright violation, but that's because of the direct quote of the family's letter on the death of Bergling, in which case I'll let it slide. ALT1 is more interesting than ALT0 because being 6th highest-paid DJ sounds less interesting than having a post stamp dedicated to you. You may also want to rephrase the ALT1, preferably remove the "January 15," and specify what kind of stamp it is, because regular viewers might not know they're postage stamps. But that's my beginner's opinion. DoNothingEveryday (talk) 08:56, 12 July 2026 (UTC)
