Improved to Good Article status by Sammi Brie (talk). Self-nominated at 17:00, 19 August 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/CKMI-DT; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

Comment: I think these hooks border on misleading. The first thoughts of your average reader would be of MI5, the British intelligence agency. Not good if they don't click the link and read the article. 〜 Festucalex • talk 20:18, 19 August 2023 (UTC)
- @Festucalex: These are intended as quirky hooks. This might make a good quirky hook.^(?) Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 21:03, 19 August 2023 (UTC)
  - @Sammi Brie: Too quirky, in my opinion. 〜 Festucalex • talk 21:08, 19 August 2023 (UTC)
    - Drive-by comment - It's not like we've never had similar bait & switch hooks before. It would be one thing if it was phrased to be disparaging to MI5 somehow, but it's not. I think it's fun. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 07:40, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
Full review needed. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:29, 25 September 2023 (UTC)

New enough, long enough. Hook short enough, interesting, and sourced (as is every paragraph); my first thought at seeing MI-5 was 'why has this got a dash in it, possibly not the intelligence agency'. No neutrality problems found, no copyright problems found, no maintenance templates found. QPQ done. Good to go.--Laun chba ller 06:52, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
