Template:Ping Question - Are quotations normally used as DYK hooks? I admit I'm relatively new to the DYK process, but I don't recall ever seeing DYKs involving quotations. If possible, could you supply alternative hooks? The article is well-written and I would have passed this immediately, but I need this question to be answered first.

- It is a fairly common practice. Scanning the current nomination queue I quickly spotted some, including Template:Did you know nominations/Alexander Ewing (composer) and Template:Did you know nominations/Birgit Jürgenssen. Hawkeye7 (talk) 13:39, 31 May 2016 (UTC)

- ALT1 ... that John von Neumann (pictured) wrote that "anyone who considers arithmetical methods of producing random digits is, of course, in a state of sin"?
