Comment: What would you say to ALT0 as a special occasion hook for April 20?
5x expanded by Muboshgu (talk). Self-nominated at 04:13, 18 March 2024 (UTC).[reply]
Number of QPQs required: 2. DYK is currently in unreviewed backlog mode and nominator has 527 past nominations.
Post-promotion hook changes will be logged on the talk page; consider watching the nomination until the hook appears on the Main Page.
Article eligibility and condition checks out. Also looks good as far as copyvio or image licensing is concerned. I like ALT0; the hook checks out with the source, and I think it'd work okay as a special occasion hook, that's far enough out. Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 05:03, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Generalissima, Muboshgu, I'm having a hard time with this as a special occasion request: there's no evidence that Novikoff meant this as a cannabis reference (this was Wrigley Field ivy, after all), and he'd been told originally that it was poison ivy! I think ALT0 would make a good quirky hook on any day, though. BlueMoonset (talk) 04:57, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
BlueMoonset, sounds fine to me. There's nothing specific about cannabis here, but it was just a thought that crossed my mind with the quirky hook. – Muboshgu (talk) 15:17, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
