John le Fucker[edit]
- ... that John le Fucker's name probably did not mean what you might think it means?

Article length, creation date, NPOV and paraphrasing, all okay. Hook length okay and a couple of the hook sources verified in Google Books. But I have changed the hook text to use "did not" instead of "didn't" per WP:CONTRACTION, since I figure hook text should follow general MoS guidelines. I would prefer that the article text be reworked to get the links out of the block quote, per WP:LINKSTYLE, but that isn't a DYK issue.

- Could there be some Alt hooks suggested? This one looks like some kind of puerile humour. I personally would prefer something a lot more interesting. TheOriginalSoni (talk) 20:40, 10 February 2013 (UTC)
