- Is this going to be used for April Fools? Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:46, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
- I would suggest it is, as I think the point of the hook is make the reader think that it's referring to the Mr Men. However, I'll check with the nominator. Miyagawa (talk) 11:36, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
- Yes, that was the idea. It'll need a list time that hits the parts of the world familiar with Mr Men, though. I could see if I can come up with some straight ALTs if people would prefer a quicker listing, though. Ka Faraq Gatri (talk) 11:47, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
- If this is approved for fish day, it should be moved to holding. Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:10, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
