- ... that the old, north German card game of Fipsen is played in Thedinghausen for currant buns called Hedewigs?
Source: "Fipsen heißt das alte Kartenspiel, bei dem um die leckeren Hedewigs (Rosinenbrötchen) gespielt wird" at Fipsen, ein ganz besonderes Kartenspiel and "Jedes Jahr, immer am Donnerstag vor Fastnacht treffen sich die Mitglieder der Bürger-Bauernkör in Thedinghausen. Neben Gesprächen stehen dann Fipsen und Hedewigs im Mittelpunkt." at Die Erinnerung lebt- ALT1:... that the traditional, north German card game of Fipsen is actually played for currant buns called Hedewigs?
Same sources- ALT2:... that winners of the traditional, north German game of Fipsen are rewarded with currant buns called Hedewigs?

Can a better hook be proposed? The current one is very niche and I don't think that it could be interesting to a broad audience. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 10:40, 23 March 2019 (UTC)
- Really? I think it's quite eye-catching. People play games for money, for points, for chips and counters but never for currant buns! It's so unusual it's almost April Fool's Day worthy! Sometimes 'niche' is the new 'cool'! I've added an alternative which is a bit more succinct. Bermicourt (talk) 12:06, 23 March 2019 (UTC)
- I don't think most people know what currant buns are to be honest (neither did I until this nomination). Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 13:07, 23 March 2019 (UTC)
- I disagree. I can't speak for America, but in Britain and Europe everyone knows what currant buns are. But the name is also a real giveaway: it's a bun with currant in it lol!. Anyway the update now includes an image of a Hedewig a link to another new article which explains what Hedewigs are as well - so even more interest for the DYK reader!

- Yeah I think the hook would only work if there's an image, otherwise it's not very eye-catching. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 11:58, 26 March 2019 (UTC)

Full review needed, including a second opinion on whether any of the hooks are sufficiently interesting. BlueMoonset (talk) 00:36, 5 May 2019 (UTC)
- Ok, how about a more edgy one:
- ALT3:... that if you're a currant bun addict, you might enjoy the traditional, north German card game of Fipsen, which is played for Hedewigs?

I know what a currant bun is and think the hooks are sufficiently interesting. This article is new enough and long enough. The image is suitably licensed, the hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:20, 8 May 2019 (UTC)
