edit
*ALT4:... that the bartender and the psychiatrist were good ol' mates in the Boston bar and are still good ol' mates in Seattle?

  • Overall, this seems well researched and written. It meets all criteria and I can't see any issue with it.
  • What hook do you want used? I certainly can see the April Fool's hooks working, but it's up to you, ultimately. -- Zanimum (talk) 23:36, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
  • All are good, but it may be good for April Fools if promoter and you reviewer agree that any of hooks is good for April Fools. I'm awaiting for your further review, please. Thank you, George Ho (talk) 23:38, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
  • Nevertheless, ALT3 is the least interesting, so I don't want that. I like ALT5 more than ALT4. I crossed out ALT6 in favor of ALT14. I don't like ALT11, so it's out as well. --George Ho (talk) 23:48, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
  • I like ALT6 for its practical impossibility—it sounds like an old-school riddle. ALT12 is pretty good too, slightly better than ALT11. Any of the ones mentioning Frasier or Martin's names seem a bit too obvious, Frasier Crane himself has one of the most known character names in recent history. (ALT13, reading it again, needs a bit of rewording, doesn't work as is.) -- Zanimum (talk) 00:42, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
  • Sorry, wrote that reply offline, posted without seeing you had updated. Would you prefer ALT5 or ALT14? 5 is nice, and Cheers fans should recognize the reference easily, 14 is the riddle. Up to you. -- Zanimum (talk) 00:43, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
  • Unstroke ALT6 then. Reworded ALT13. As for ALT5 and ALT14, either one is fine, but ALT5 could be less recognizable then ALT14. For That Day, how about ones that would be less recognizable and obvious to Frasier and Cheers fans? What do you think? --George Ho (talk) 00:58, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
  • ALTs 5, 6, 8, and 12 may seem to be less recognizable and more outrageous, while 14 is simple (but obvious to Cheers and Frasier fans). If That Day is not good for this nom, how about any Ted Danson-related? --George Ho (talk) 01:02, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
    • You know what? Anything that neither is not stroked out nor mentions Ted Danson is fine for April's. It's up to promoter of DYK and whatever he or she likes best. I like them all except ALT4. --George Ho (talk) 04:14, 2 July 2012 (UTC)
      • I forgot to put in this image, a while ago. Oops. As mentioned before, the article itself is ready to go, in content and sourcing. I'm still betwixt and between for what hook to use, presumably the promoter will have a better sense of what works best. -- Zanimum (talk) 15:08, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
