Comment: Choose the most interesting, there is a lot to choose from and I guess you will have your own ideas, which will be great. I don't particularly feel like any one is better than the other
Overall: May we use this for the April Fools' Day set? ALTs 0, 1, and 3 are all great options MyCatIsAChonk (talk) (not me) (also not me) (still no) 12:57, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
The QPQ check tool to the right counts only 9. I don't really trust the QPQ tool that much because it barely counts 40% of my own nominations. But If the nominator feels that they have done less than 20 noms this can go forward or they can do the double. This case is on the honor system.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 18:46, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
I only see eight nominations credited in Szmenderowiecki's talk page history. Under the circumstances, TonyTheTiger's reasoning for requesting another QPQ is not justified, so I'm restoring the previous tick by reviewer MyCatIsAChonk. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:14, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
Thanks for restoring the tick, my page says this should be the eighth nomination, but I may be mistaken in my count. If I'm not and we can move on, let's go with the original option (the very first one) or ALT3, up to promoter's discretion, but I don't particularly care if it's on 1 April (Duplessis was born on the 20th).

We are in WP:QPQ backlog mode. Double reviews are required.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 06:42, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
