DYK hook

That's probably the best hook I've seen!--ML5 (talk) 12:47, 1 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for commenting! I wish it was not the last one on the list, but if it worked that well for you, I suppose the placement does not affect it too much :) Surtsicna (talk) 12:57, 1 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Awesome. —Soap— 14:03, 1 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Got me too.92.250.73.251 (talk) 15:44, 1 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you both. The article, created by Soap in 2007, is older than my account, but I only found out about it a few weeks ago and thought I should share it with the rest of Wiki readers. I am glad the bug got its 15 minutes of fame :) Surtsicna (talk) 23:27, 1 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Nice to see it make DYK, although my contribs were apparently not significant enough for anyone to mention it to me. -- Scjessey (talk) 22:10, 1 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I am sorry that you feel that way. I assumed that those who took interest in the article would have it on their watchlist and that they would notice a fivefold expansion. Surtsicna (talk) 23:19, 1 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I also performed a significant expansion. I took this and turned it into this when the article was in its earliest stages. It is on my watchlist, but nothing about a DYK nom appeared. -- Scjessey (talk) 14:22, 2 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

As I said, I am sorry that you feel left out. Surtsicna (talk) 15:21, 2 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Re: placement last. Usually the quirkiest hook in a set is put there, as people usually only remember the first and last entry in a list. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:13, 2 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I assumed there was a reason. Thanks for explaining how it works! I suppose I should be honoured that it was last on the list :D Surtsicna (talk) 15:21, 2 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
