- Comment: I want to nominate this for April Fool's Day. Tell me if you can find some other good hooks.
Moved to mainspace by Jon698 (talk). Self-nominated at 18:34, 2 March 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Walter White (Tennessee politician); consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
date, length, close paraphrase check ok. Both original hook and ALT1 are sourced in article. QPQ still pending. But I'm not sure I get the April Fool's point completly. I get that it is supposed to make the reader think we are speaking of the Breaking Bad character, but I don't that BB is global cultural phenomenon to the level that the joke works universally (Walter White is a dab page). With the risk of being boring I'd suggest adding "Tenesee politician" to ALT1 for clarity. --Soman (talk) 17:15, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
- @Soman: If it can't be an April Fool's hook then I propose ALT2 "... that Walter White was a member of the prosecution for the Scopes trial in 1925, despite not passing the bar until 1944?"
