Pinging The C of E as the main editor for April Fools DYK to see if this would qualify for an April Fools DYK hook. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jeromi Mikhael (talk • contribs) 15:44, 25 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm all for more April Fools hooks @Jeromi Mikhael: and @Mandarax: though we might have to collaborate a bit because this will be our 3rd Hitler hook in the holding area! We might have to combine them all somehow. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 11:41, 27 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@The C of E: How about a 20 April special? Or 30 April? 30 April would mean that we start and end the month with a joke... Regards, Jeromi Mikhael ^(marhata) 12:12, 27 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Jeromi Mikhael: I can see where you're going but it's not a good idea because there are some around who don't like jokes outside AFD. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 15:54, 27 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@The C of E: I've put it in the DYKAPRIL space. Feel free to suggest any other funnier and catchier hook. Personally I prefer ALT1, as readers would expect Adolf Hitler as a co-winner of the Calypso King.Regards, Jeromi Mikhael ^(marhata) 13:09, 30 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
