| Hi, thanks for writing the article about ]. I've nominated it for ]. In case you're not familiar with it, DYK is a section ] which highlights new content. Every ], DYK is devoted to quirky hooks that ''look'' like April Fools' jokes, but which are actually true. This is a highly anticipated event every year, and editors and readers flock to it. Almost every article in an April Fools' Day set gets over 5,000 views, most get at least 6,000–7,000, and many get over 10,000 or much more. I apologize if you already know all of this, but I was here for many years before I ever discovered DYK and the wonderful April Fools' Day tradition. | |||
| I have nominated your article (]) with an April Fools' Day hook. When it appears on the Main Page, it is likely to generate thousands of views of your article, but you'll have to wait until April 1 for this to happen. If you'd prefer that your DYK appear sooner, we could substitute a traditional hook (the "jokey" ones are ''only'' allowed on April Fools' Day). These regular hooks, in general, tend to produce fewer page views. | |||
| So it's your decision: use the quirky hook for the April Fools' Day celebration, or substitute a "normal" hook for a quicker Main Page appearance. | |||
