Comment: I do hope this suffices for an April Fools' Day nomination—my preference would be for ALT2, than ALT1, than ALT0.

Overall: First time reviewer here, I would express that this article's title is shortened for deliberate comedic effect and for the context it is given as an April Fools DYK, I would understand, though I'm quite new to this, and I believe that a second opinion is always a good idea.

Thanks for the speedy review, Ornithoptera (and by the way, i love your username)! I've been told that Gatoclass is the expert on April Fools' Day—Gatoclass, could you weigh in? theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 02:25, 21 October 2021 (UTC)

Oh, definitely AFD material (excepting ALT1). ALT2 is particularly good. All assuming it is verifiable of course :) Gatoclass (talk) 05:34, 21 October 2021 (UTC)

Thanks! It seems we've got ourselves a ball game, then—I'll move the nomination. Welcome to DYK, Ornithoptera! theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 05:58, 21 October 2021 (UTC)

Going to strike ALT0 and ALT1 to indicate preference :) theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 09:21, 31 January 2022 (UTC)
