Please use this page for discussions surrounding the creation of "Did You Know" items for April Fools' Day 2025
Areas of work needed to complete the front page are:
- Wikipedia:April Fool's Main Page/Featured Articles
- Wikipedia:April Fool's Main Page/Today's Featured Picture
- Wikipedia:April Fool's Main Page/Featured List
- Wikipedia:April Fool's Main Page/On This Day
- Wikipedia:April Fool's Main Page/In The News
- Wikipedia:April Fool's Main Page/Did You Know
Ground rules for this activity along with a list of participants may be found on the Main talk page.
Rules
[edit]April Fools Did You Know items should present some trivia that can be presented in a manner that is possibly unbelievable to the reader. This can be done through words or names that mean two different things, shortened names, unbelievable facts, unrelated facts, etc. The normal written and unwritten rules for Did You Know (DYK) are followed, with these exceptions...
- April Fools DYKs are subject to the usual exclusions regarding prior Main Page appearance, but the normal rules for special occasions do not apply: the article need only have been created/expanded/brought to GA in the year immediately preceding the April 1 on which it will appear.
- Proper capitalization, title formatting, and linking standards may be disregarded only if adhering to them will tend to give away the joke. This should be done as little as possible. (example from 2009: "... that Caviar, Chardonnay, and Hot Cocoa compete for the love of Ray J? ")
All other Wikipedia rules and guidelines still apply. Pay special attention to Wikipedia's Biographies of living persons guidelines if your hook relates to a living person.
Remember, we are trying to confuse and mislead Wikipedians and visitors, not lie to them. Keep all hooks and articles completely truthful, but outrageous. (examples from 2010: A hook claiming Dmitry Medvedev died in 2005 is ok, saying Mikheil Saakashvili died is not.)
How to review a nomination
[edit]Any editor who was not involved in writing/expanding or nominating an article may review it by checking to see that the article meets the DYK criteria except, per above, the normal new enough rule (long enough, no serious editorial or content issues) and the hook is cited. Editors may also alter the suggested hook to improve it, suggest new hooks, or even lend a hand and make edits to the article which the hook applies so that the hook is supported and accurate. For a more detailed discussion of the DYK rules and review process see the supplementary guidelines.
If you want to confirm that an article is ready to be placed on a later update, or note that there is an issue with the article or hook, please use the following symbols to point the issues out:
Symbol | Code | Status | Description |
---|---|---|---|
{{subst:DYKtick}}
{{subst:DYKyes}} |
Approved | No problems, ready for DYK | |
{{subst:DYKtickAGF}} | Approved | Article is ready for DYK, with a foreign-language, offline or paywalled hook reference accepted in good faith | |
{{subst:DYK?}} | Query | DYK eligibility requires that an issue be addressed. Notify nominator with {{subst:DYKproblem|Article|header=yes|sig=yes}}
| |
{{subst:DYK?no}} | Maybe | DYK eligibility requires additional work. Notify nominator with {{subst:DYKproblem|Article|header=yes|sig=yes}}
| |
{{subst:DYKno}} | Rejected | Article is either completely ineligible or otherwise requires an insurmountable amount of work before becoming eligible. | |
{{subst:DYK?again}} | New review | Requesting a second opinion or fresh review |
An article cannot be officially promoted until a reviewer has given approval ( or ) to at least one of the article's hooks.
Nominations

[edit]Barack Obama (horse)

- Comment: Personally, ALT0 is my favorite hook.
Di (they-them) (talk) 16:20, 22 July 2024 (UTC).
- Well, this definitely won't lead to anyone freaking out when opening the Main Page. No, seriously, I love the original hook, and the other two are good backup alternatives if anyone wants to limit the surprise effect to more reasonable levels. Regarding the article, it's new enough, long enough, well-sourced enough and copyvio-free, and includes the content of ALT0 and ALT1. No WP:BLP (or should it be WP:BDH?) issues as far as I can see.
- Only one very esoteric thing to note: all horses are traditionally registered with a date of birth of "January 1st", even if they were born later in the year, so the article technically doesn't have the information that he died at age 20 beyond the age template (should {{Death date and age}} have a variant for horses?). Either way, that's pretty much a non-issue, and the DYK is approved! Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 16:40, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- After a little more research, it looks like I was mistaken, and horse age is also calculated from January 1. So the information is enough to say that the horse was "20 years old" for horse purposes, even if it might not have lived 20 literal years. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 16:55, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- Di (they-them), are you willing for this to wait for WP:DYKAPRIL? ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 17:18, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
- @AirshipJungleman29: Sure, that's fine with me. Di (they-them) (talk) 18:27, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
Hi, I want to ask to update this hook and merge this nomination with Template:Did you know nominations/Kamala (elephant). I'm not really sure what the procedure for that is. Di (they-them) (talk) 21:33, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

- @Di (they-them), Chaotic Enby, Queen of Hearts, and Queen of Hearts mobile: Please address the above.--Launchballer 14:42, 20 November 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for the ping, and yes it is indeed a good point to consider. I did find these 2014 Washington Post articles ([1], [2]) on the transfer of Kamala (and two other elephants) from Calgary to Washington, D.C., although I leave it to your judgement to decide whether that is enough to meet WP:SUSTAINED. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 14:49, 20 November 2024 (UTC)
- I'll echo Chaotic Enby (thanks for finding those btw), I think the 2014 sources establish sustained notability. Di (they-them) (talk) 16:23, 20 November 2024 (UTC)

- I think so as well. This is long enough, new enough and the QPQ's done (The Catholic Spirit, haven't checked Stuff Matters). Hook checks out; the Washington Post is paywalled, but it checks out to the Smithsonian and to WJLA.

- Oh, it just occurred to me that the euthanasia hook might be a BLP issue. Since this has until April, I'll add a less potentially offensive alt:
- ALT4 ... that Barack Obama was a horse and Kamala was an elephant?
- Di (they-them) (talk) 01:11, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

The United States of America (album)
- ... that Columbia Records wanted to change a song title on the 1968 album The United States of America by the band of the same name, because it referenced the then recently deceased Che Guevara?

Iostn (talk) 21:45, 23 September 2024 (UTC).
- Not a review, but ALT2: ... that the United States of America falls short of being really satisfying? would make an excellent April Fools' hook.--Launchballer 22:17, 23 September 2024 (UTC)
- It would be brilliant. But add the italics and the quotation marks and it should work reasonably well on any day. Surtsicna (talk) 20:02, 28 October 2024 (UTC)
- The article was promoted to GA status 5 days before the DYK nomination. It is, unsurprisingly, also long enough and it meets the sourcing, neutrality, and copyright requirements. The hooks proposed by Iostn are fine, but there is a clear potential for something much grander. See Launchballer's suggestion. We rarely get such gems in the rough, Iostn, but let me know if you cannot bother and I will approve your original hook. Surtsicna (talk) 20:13, 28 October 2024 (UTC)

- It could in theory work as a regular quirky hook rather than an AFD hook, although the decision about that could be left to a promoter. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 09:54, 6 November 2024 (UTC)

- @Iostn, Surtsicna, Z1720, and Narutolovehinata5: As this is a day away from time out and is taking up room at T:TDYK, I am approving ALT1 ("Guevara" isn't in the article). Any promoter at Approved is free to approve either ALT2 or move any of the following April Fools' hooks into WP:DYKAPRIL for approval:
- ALT3: ... that the United States of America met a mixed reception?

- The article was promoted to GA status on time. It meets the other DYK article criteria as well such as length and close paraphrasing. Quotes are properly cited. A QPQ has been done and it was completed. For the purposes of review I'm approving two hooks, one quirky (ALT5) and one non quirky (ALT4). It's too bad the picture is copyrighted because ALT4 would have been very effective with the picture, but oh well. I will leave it to the promoter if ALT5 is to be held for April Fools, or if it runs as a regular quirky. ALT5 is the preferred option, ALT4 is more the backup.

- Comment: Think the translated version of their name could make for some fun April Fool's Day hooks.
Grnrchst (talk) 16:51, 27 November 2024 (UTC).
- Concern (not a full review): While referring to "Los Justicieros" as "The Avengers" (i.e., the comic book superheroes, The Avengers) is fun (and quite hooky) for April Fool's Day, it is misleading for any other day.
Indeed, there are no sources referring to "The Justicieros" as "The Avengers", and Google translates "justicieros" as "vigilantes" and not "avengers". Further, "avengers" is translated as "vengadores", not "justicieros".Cbl62 (talk) 14:45, 28 November 2024 (UTC)
- Also, since Los Justicieros dissovled as a group in the early 1920s, the "alt 1" hook should refer to "former members". Cbl62 (talk) 14:58, 28 November 2024 (UTC)
- @Cbl62: It is not true that
no sources [refer] to "The Justicieros" as "The Avengers"
. Varela 2019 specifically translates it to "The Avengers"; Umoja 2015 translates it to "The Avenging Ones". I'm a Spanish speaker and can confirm (better than a bad machine translation anyway) that "Avengers" is an acceptable translation for "Justicieros"; the word "justiciero" is often used as an adjective to mean "avenging". "Justiceros" can indeed be translated as "vigilantes", although "vigilante" is already a word in Spanish, so the common translation for "vigilante" is just "vigilante". I don't think we should be ignoring how sources translate the name because a robot says something else. --Grnrchst (talk) 11:04, 29 November 2024 (UTC) - Comment: For the record, I'm not opposed to posting it at a different time using their original Spanish name. I just thought using the (yes, sourced) translation for a 1 April hook would be fun. I have also amended ALT1 per the suggestion. --Grnrchst (talk) 11:15, 29 November 2024 (UTC)
- I have checked several dictionaries and while they generally translate "avengers" as "vengadores", I did find one (here) that translates "justiciero" as "avenger". Accordingly, I withdraw part of my comments above and believe this could be a very effective April Fool's Day hook. Cbl62 (talk) 12:12, 29 November 2024 (UTC)
- Hooks approved for April Fool's Day only. Newness requirement satisfied by recent GA promotion. Article is long enough and well written/sourced. Earwig detected no issues. Hooks are all very hooky and short enough but suitable only for April Fool's Day for reasons discussed above. Sourcing is largely offline so AGF toward an established editor.

This nomination has not yet received a full review. Flibirigit (talk) 18:32, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
- Nominated within bounds of GA promotion, writing is appropriately sourced and free of copyvios. Most of the images are appropriately licensed, but the photos with the logos at the bottom of the article raise questions regarding copyvio; I'd say just remove them (unless the logos are public domain/appropriately licensed; I might have missed that). Otherwise, I'm willing to approve with a strong preference for ALT3. ~ Pbritti (talk) 21:48, 6 December 2024 (UTC)
- @Pbritti are you referring to the two images of the coffee mug which has campaign material on it and the Labor campaign t-shirt? All of those images were extracted from Flikr and all of the respective pages from Flickr have statements that they are public domain linking to https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/mark/1.0/. I do however have concerns that the person who uploaded those images to Flikr has the right to decide that those photos of another's work are public domain. If those are the photos you are referring to then I agree best to remove as they don't really add anything to the article anyway. Can you please confirm if those are the images. TarnishedPathtalk 00:43, 7 December 2024 (UTC)
- @TarnishedPath: Confirming that those are the images in question. There's no doubt about them being from a valid Flickr license, but I believe that this is an instance of license laundering and that the prominence of the logos prohibits the release of the images under a CC license. ~ Pbritti (talk) 00:48, 7 December 2024 (UTC)
- @Pbritti, I agree entirely. I've removed them from the article and I'll probably CSD them on commons later. I'll do some reverse image lookups first to find where the images originally came from.

- @TarnishedPath: Confirming that those are the images in question. There's no doubt about them being from a valid Flickr license, but I believe that this is an instance of license laundering and that the prominence of the logos prohibits the release of the images under a CC license. ~ Pbritti (talk) 00:48, 7 December 2024 (UTC)
- @Pbritti are you referring to the two images of the coffee mug which has campaign material on it and the Labor campaign t-shirt? All of those images were extracted from Flikr and all of the respective pages from Flickr have statements that they are public domain linking to https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/mark/1.0/. I do however have concerns that the person who uploaded those images to Flikr has the right to decide that those photos of another's work are public domain. If those are the photos you are referring to then I agree best to remove as they don't really add anything to the article anyway. Can you please confirm if those are the images.
