John le Fucker
edit- ... that John le Fucker's name probably did not mean what you might think it means?

Article length, creation date, NPOV and paraphrasing, all okay. Hook length okay and a couple of the hook sources verified in Google Books. But I have changed the hook text to use "did not" instead of "didn't" per WP:CONTRACTION, since I figure hook text should follow general MoS guidelines. I would prefer that the article text be reworked to get the links out of the block quote, per WP:LINKSTYLE, but that isn't a DYK issue. Wasted Time R (talk) 19:21, 26 January 2013 (UTC)
- Please note that this is supposed to be an April Fool's DYK - I'd already listed it on the April Fool's page. Prioryman (talk) 00:40, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
- Could there be some Alt hooks suggested? This one looks like some kind of puerile humour. I personally would prefer something a lot more interesting. TheOriginalSoni (talk) 20:40, 10 February 2013 (UTC)
