  • Length, ages, QPQ, neutrality, verifiability, duplication check out. Hook fact cited and found in source. Since this was missed for my own entry I shall specify -
PLEASE SAVE FOR APRIL 1

11 Months from now? That defeats the purpose of DYK being new articles. PumpkinSky talk 02:00, 6 May 2013 (UTC)
April Fools has apparently been a long-standing exception to the six-week rule: a few hooks wait almost the entire year. The rules for this are on the DYK April Fools page. BlueMoonset (talk) 05:35, 6 May 2013 (UTC)
It doesn't seem particularly April Foolsish to me either. PumpkinSky talk 00:24, 9 May 2013 (UTC)
Yes, the hook itself isn't so funny. I think on second thought, I would not want to wait that long. Looks like I have got a train to catch. So, sorry Gilderien, but I've decided not to let this wait. Please proceed. ☯ Bonkers The Clown \(^_^)/ Nonsensical Babble ☯ 08:15, 9 May 2013 (UTC)
It's alright, it just struck as interesting but mis-leading, rather than the toilet humour that seems to be the basis of most of our April Fool's hooks.--Gilderien Chat|List of good deeds 21:25, 9 May 2013 (UTC)
