Overall: Everything looks good to me! A very interesting list. Preference is for either toe hook. Noting that DYK Check shows less than 1500 characters, but the text in the list proper is well over the limit — Chris Woodrich (talk) 20:45, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

In its current form, we'd have to IAR this as the prose size is 18 bytes short of the 1500 bytes limit. But I agree that there is so much (valuable) prose in the table that this should be ok. I shall note that the toe image is not in focus and thus recommend against using it. Schwede 66 06:29, 1 July 2024 (UTC)

Is a toe and an arm really the best we can do? Bentham's head, Geronimo's skill, Rasputin's penis, Che Guevara's hands... they're all fantastic stories! ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 15:48, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

Gobonobo, if the toe image can't be used, do you have a preference between toe hook (without image), arm hook (with image), or something else? Rjjⁱⁱⁱ (talk) 04:16, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

toe used for cocktails

The toe is fabulous (both unusual and intriguing) and I really think it is the best option if we're going with an image. It renders quite well at 140x140 pixels and is only out of focus if you click through to the enlarged image. However, we could use a different crop (example pictured) if you wanted something sharper. gobonobo ⁺ ^c 04:48, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

Opinions on that version, Schwede66? Not about drinking it, but for DKY purposes, Rjjⁱⁱⁱ (talk) 05:03, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

@AirshipJungleman29 and Rjjiii: There really are a lot of options here. I focused on the most interesting images of body parts, and didn't spend a lot of time considering using the portraits of the individuals. If the toe is too gross for people, maybe a hook about the Heart of Louis XIV being both eaten and made into paint, which could work without an image as well. I'm not sure how to word it though. There are a ton of options and I'm totally open to suggestions. gobonobo ⁺ ^c 05:10, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

It’s up to the promoter to prep to decide on images. Schwede 66 08:27, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
