  • and a 👍 Like from me - perhaps the lead hook? :-)--Addihockey10 e-mail 02:13, 26 March 2012 (UTC)
  • Although I would prefer if the outside of Polandball was transparent. --Addihockey10 e-mail 02:16, 26 March 2012 (UTC)
I believe I have made Polandball transparent now. Amirite? Russavia ლ(ಠ益ಠლ) 04:54, 26 March 2012 (UTC)
  • Support oh yes this for 1 April. -Nard 14:31, 26 March 2012 (UTC)
  • Article has been nominated for deletion and !votes are trending towards delete with some significant notability problems noted.--RadioFan (talk) 15:23, 28 March 2012 (UTC)
  • As per above --Harizotoh9 (talk) 16:28, 28 March 2012 (UTC)
  • Comment If it were to run (which it probably won't), it can't use that "Polandball cannot into space". That simply makes no sense. It would have to be something about how users create comics about Polandball or something. --Harizotoh9 (talk) 16:28, 28 March 2012 (UTC)
    • No it doesn't. This is the whole point of April Fools hooks! To be outlandish, but yet still referring directly to the article. Russavia ლ(ಠ益ಠლ) 06:12, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
  • ALT 1 *... that Poland (pictured) can into space?
    • This alt hook is more in line in keeping to April Fool's hooks, because once you read the article, we learn that "Poland cannot into space" -- April Fools! Russavia ლ(ಠ益ಠლ) 05:24, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
      • Nonsense != funny. April Fools or not.--RadioFan (talk) 17:31, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
        • Exactly. "April Fools" is no excuse for non-sensical humor. This is not Encyclopedia dramatica. The TFA for April 1st is Pigeon photography, which is a completely accurate (though hard to believe) article. That is more in keeping with the spirit of WP and April Fools. --Harizotoh9 (talk) 13:52, 30 March 2012 (UTC)
