  • ... that Colin Clinton was the youngest ever president of the Institution of Civil Engineers when he took up the post in 2004?

  • I'm loving the ALT2 hook and so jumping in quick to start a review. Andrew🐉(talk) 16:24, 7 February 2020 (UTC)

Review Lua error: expandTemplate: template "y" does not exist.

  • ALT2 seems like a great April Fools hook. Yoninah (talk) 00:06, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
Hi Yoninah. I have no objections if people want to run this on April Fool's Day - Dumelow (talk) 07:30, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
I'd like to echo Yoninah, with the addition that I would specifically oppose this one's use before or after 1 April (I came here because I was somewhat annoyed by an Easter egg link being placed on a linked DYK nomination on what was clearly not April Fool's Day).

  • Thank you. I've added this to the April Fool's Day run list. Yoninah (talk) 13:51, 12 February 2020 (UTC)
