A shoe mirror
  • ... that the independent student newspaper, Seventh East Press, discussed the campus ban of the sale of shoe mirrors (example pictured) in their April Fools' Day issue? Source: "Shoe-mirrors, part of a local fad, have been determined incompatible with the BYU Honor Code, according to Standards official Carmichael Whitaker. In accordance with this recent determination, shoe-mirrors will no longer be sold in the BYU bookstore" April Fool's day issue on archive.org
      • ALT0b:... that the independent student newspaper, Seventh East Press, discussed the campus ban on the sale of fictional "shoe mirrors" (example pictured) in their April Fools' Day issue?
      • ALT0c:... that the independent student newspaper, Seventh East Press, discussed the campus ban of fictional "shoe mirrors" (example pictured) used by students to look upskirt in their April Fools' Day issue?
    • ALT1:... that Brigham Young University banned the on-campus sale of the Seventh East Press?

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
  • Cited:  
  • Interesting:  
QPQ: Done.

Overall:   Article is new enough, long enough and sourced. Earwig is not picking up any apparent copyvio. qpq has been done, both hooks are cited and interesting. I'm proposing ALT0b and ALT0c to make it clearer that "shoe mirrors" were made up. BuySomeApples (talk) 04:06, 7 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

  •   @Rachel Helps (BYU) and BuySomeApples: I know this approved and all, but I think this would make a great April Fools' Day hook if you don't mind waiting until next year... either discussing the April fools in the hook, or reworking with a bit of an easter egg link to maybe use the headline from that day? DYK has our own April fools pranks and this would be a meta one if you're interested. Kingsif (talk) 03:54, 11 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
  • Hi Kingsif, that's a great idea! I'd like this hook to run with its picture, because I so rarely have a good picture to go along with my hooks. Would that be possible with the April Fool's day set? I have a family vacation this weekend and will respond next week. Rachel Helps (BYU) (talk) 15:43, 11 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
  •   I believe such a misleading hook is in the spirit of April Fool's day. I added another in-line citation for the sentence about shoe-mirrors on the 7EP page. Can I approve a hook for my own nomination? How do we move this to the April Fool's day queue? Rachel Helps (BYU) (talk) 17:04, 16 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
  You can't review your own nom, unfortunately. As for moving it, well, approved noms go to a different project page automatically, and from there they can be manually moved to a holding section for April Fool's Day. Kingsif (talk) 18:16, 16 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
@BuySomeApples: mind re-approving the hook for april fools' day? theleekycauldron (talkcontribs) (they/them) 07:46, 17 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
  The April Fool's hook looks good and is cited (and cheeky). Looks all good for next year! BuySomeApples (talk) 17:41, 17 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
