  • Long enough, new enough, sourced, well written. QPQ has been done and it looks to be in order. The word is what made me stop and look further at this, I think it's appropriate for April Fool's day - while it is a fact the juxtaposition of "hidden" and published is what makes it work.  MPJ-US  01:38, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
  • Sorry Edwardx, but I wonder whether an April Fool's Day slot is appropriate since 35 died in the rail crash and nearly 500 injured? Philafrenzy (talk) 00:07, 21 March 2016 (UTC)
  • @Philafrenzy: - the hook's not about the crash, it's about the person who produced the report into the crash. As it won't be appearing on the anniversary of the accident, I see no problem with an April Fool's DYK. Mjroots (talk) 06:46, 21 March 2016 (UTC)
  • Thank you Philafrenzy and Mjroots. I'm ambivalent, and leaning against an April Fool's Day slot. It would probably be better in the final "quirky" slot on another day. After all, it is not so quirky that it can only run on 1 April. Suggest we leave it to whoever is building the sets to decide. I've added a slightly tweaked ALT1.

  • Agreed, more quirky than fun. Philafrenzy (talk) 21:44, 21 March 2016 (UTC)
  • The problem with ALT1 is that it looks like the hook is about the report, not its author. Mjroots (talk) 06:31, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
