• April Fool's Day hooks are really fun, but I think this would be too depressing for that, honestly. Generalissima (talk) 00:34, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

Looks good to me. The hook is interesting, Earwig checked out, the source is reliable, QPQ is done. Lettler^{hello • contribs} 21:54, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

Looks like this DYKN got all mangled for several reasons; see this screenshot. @MyCatIsAChonk: you placed your review below the <!--Please do not write below this line or remove this line. Place comments above this line.--> comment. @Lettler: you placed your review on the talk page instead of the nomination page. Thanks, ^Queenof_Hearts 03:29, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

Oh weird... is it still ok for promotion, or does something need to be fixed? MyCatIsAChonk (talk) (not me) (also not me) (still no) 08:23, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
